vic will be in my arms. we may not be in private, but she’ll be in my arms and it’s the little things that count. i miss her. i miss sharing the simple stuff. curling up together, watching tv. tonight i would love to watching fireworks over vic’s shoulder.
sigh. just sitting here and watching the seconds tick away.
i should go out or something. maybe later.

got this from my friend franka
[ a litte background info, david coleman is a famed english sports commentator]
here are some of his greatest moments:
- Thats the fastest time ever run – but its not as fast as the world
record.
- Dont tell those coming in the final result of that fantastic match, but
lets just have another look at Italys winning goal.
- For those of you watching who do not have television sets, live commentary
is on Radio 2.
- This is a truly international field, no Britons involved.
- Both of the Villa scorers – Withe and Mortimer – were born in Liverpool as
was the Villa manager Ron Saunders who was born in Birkenhead.
- Hes 31 this year – last year he was 30.
- He won the bronze medal in the 1976 Olympics so hes used to being out
in front.
- We estimate, and this isnt an estimation, that Greta Waltz is 80 seconds
behind.
- Linford Christies got a habit of pulling it out when it matters most.
- The late start is due to the time.
- Hes got his hands on his knees and holds his head in despair.
- Hes even smaller in real life than he is on the track.
- This could be a repeat of what will happen in the European games next
week.
- Its a battle with himself and with the ticking fingers of the clock.
- Here are some names to look forward to – perhaps in the future.
- In the Moscow Olympics Lasse Viren came in fifth and ran a champions race.
- He just cant believe whats not happening to him.
- One of the great unknown champions because very little is known about him.
- Therell be only one winner now – in every sense.
- He is accelerating all the time. The last lap was run in 64 seconds and
the one before that in 62.
- The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class.
- (At the velodrome) The front wheel crosses the fininsh line, closely
followed by the back wheel.

Miracles You Will See In The Next 50 Years (From Popular Mechanics, February 1950, Page 112.) [guess we missed the boat somewhere]
are you an irritating colleague
my result:
You are the perfect, dream colleague. Your sunny disposition is cheering and you ALWAYS make the tea. Please feel free to drop down Guardian Unlimiteds chimney once the wind changes.
and your early moment of zen
not much to tell this morning, it’s just as good a day as any this week. vic is here in two weeks. i still haven’t figured how to get the clock to sit where i want it to, but i will, fear not.
before i head off work here is your friday five:
1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
that’s a toss up between the enid blyton fantasy books and the hardy boys
2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
chronicles of narnia (i already did.)
3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
how covertly racist enid blyton was
4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
about 18 months i think (i used to consume my books, literally, read it, then eat it.)
5. Do you remember the first ‘grown-up’ book you read? How old were you?
not really sure, i would read anything i could get my hands on. age appropriate material was never high on my list of priorities.
i’m off to work. i’ll post later have a great day.
ive finally finished hp and the order of the pheonix and as with most books i really like, im distraught. im debating whether the children will we be up to this. its not earth shattering literature but i think there are going to be a lot of tears shed by the end.
vic has been anxious for me to finish so we can chat about it. and now im just as anxious to talk to her about it. shes gone for dinner and drinks with the drag queens so i have to sit tight til she returns, which translates into surfing and blogging.
although i did promise to post all day and didnt. i was caught up in the book. even its digital format, i couldnt walk away. i cant wait for my print copy to arrive so i can start over.
and now some links:
todays pride link
i cant believe ive never linked to modernhumourist. it is one of the funniest places online.
and off acquired tastes journal, i got
Wednesday What-Ifs(i know its thursday, but im only a day late)
1. What if you had to choose a single color to remain on Earth?
tan
2. What if you had to choose one song to remain on Earth?
moonlight sonata
3. What if you had to choose a single book to remain on Earth?
oh dear, i dont think thats possible… it would have to be an anthology of some sort, but… no, id give up everything else to keep the books.
4. What if you had to choose one electronic device to remain on Earth (cars & planes included)?
30Gb iPod
5. What if you had to choose a single season to remain on Earth?

all of the above
3. Youve been given the responsibility of packing away any three items in a time capsule to be opened up in 400 years. What would you put in there to give folks an idea of what life is like in 2003?
mp3 player (with a variety of music), a site dump of a blog (js, has so many interesting personalities) and (this is a cheat) the front page of every single newspaper on the planet for one day.
and finally your moment of zen (vic youll love this)
so the hair lady is sick, so i have to endure the ‘fro-ras til next tuesday. and i’m lounging in my new chair in the office, with fuck all to do. so you know i’ll be blogging all day.
it’s kind of hard (no pun intended) being aroused without an outlet all the time. most times the slightest memory will provoke a reaction, gratefully, i can slide my chair under my desk and most of shirts/tshirts and fairly big and can hide any protrusions.
the other thing that’s going to happen today is there’s going to be a lot of quizzes and questionnaires so let’s get started with this gem, that’s two days late, that i got from girlunderway who in turn got it from this-or-that:
1. Lemonade or Ice Cold Beer?
hmmm, decisions, decisions. ice cold beer
2. Swimming pool or beach?
beach. late afternoon, especially
3. Long weekends here & there, or a 2-week vacation?
long weekends, they are going to become invaluable to vic and i
4. Destination: Acapulco or Hawaii?
hawaii
5. Destination: Mountains or Beach?
beach. love the beach
6. Hotel/motel/B&B or camping?
b&b, but hotel for the kind of privacy we need.
7. Carefully planned vacation, or play it by ear?
plan the getting there, but everything else is on the hoof.
8. Sneakers or sandals?
sandals, or better yet, barefoot. if i could i would be barefoot all the time
9. Air-conditioning or fans?
fans are more interesting.
10. Concerts in the park or baseball games?
concerts. live music is great.
well i’ll be back in a bit, going to follow some links and do some reading. caio
the are 15 days til vicotria gets here. two weeks and a day. as of 7am today, 372.5 hours til she touches down in trinidad. i’m excited, can you tell. my thoughts are filled with her. waking and sleeping. i’m ditching work to get my hair neatened. yes, having dreads is not just about letting your hair knot up, it requires some degree of maintenance. i’ve been trying to get to do this for a while and i either haven’t had the time or the money, or a combination of the two. it’s going to take about 4 hours to get done, so i’m not going to get into work before midday, although there is not much for me to do anyway.
time for me to get going, i’ve got no cash and i’m bumming a ride into pos, least i could do is be ready.
