pygmy

It's been a while, but a long time ago my dad and I built a couple of bat houses.

I don't think it would be that hard, actually. The most important points would be using rough-sawn lumber and making sure the spacing was proper. I can imagine it being a bit of a challenge with the spacing if you don't alrealy know exactly how thick your boards are, and they can vary quite a lot. Too much space and I think it's not snug enough for them, too little and they can't really use it.

If you've got a drill I bet you can put one together for less than $60.

I know zip about bat houses, but I think pesticide-free wood would be essential.
Not that you (of all people) need telling, of course.

I'm sort of thinking that a shallow taper would work OK, at least for the first try.

I would send you my dad's bass, if I could get at it, and I didn't want it myself . Plywood, but it makes a fine noise; and he doesn't need it

My ex-boss has a real issue with fan heaters. He has killed at least eight that I know of; three of them he's been lucky to walk away from. Strange...

Hi pygmy - havnt said hi in a while.

what a trip that you and D. Willey had some things in common. it's a small world, it's true. a gametey world?!

I have no idea what the rest of this journal was about, but I enjoyed that book.

immodestly is often cool.

Congratulations on the move-in! And the rocket stove is pretty damn impressive.

How have you been doing lately? November has indeed come absurdly quickly, but I hope it's found you at peace.

I missed your birthday because I suck. I'm truly sorry.

As penance, I offer not just any birthday jpeg, but THE birthday jpeg:

Awww. That dog looks like a polar bear.

Emo Panda iz Kewl!

Nah, no worries, I picked up the tone of it. And of course, it's just the nature of an anthology film like this that everybody will like or respond to certain segments more than others. Although I will say that I do like Vincenzo's vampire segment; it's probably the one that changed the most from conception to execution, but I like the idea in the end of doing it as kind of a silent horror pastiche, including cheesy iris-in and outs.

I have to say I'm quite happy with the movie, especially for it being my first. It changed a lot from when I started on it, because of the long timeline for production, structure changes and the shifts in director slots, but what I like about the end product is what grabbed me about the project from the beginning - the diversity of viewpoints on the city and the contrasting takes on various types of love/relationships.

CUTE.

Seriously, I thought they were stuffed animals at first glance.

Yes, they look like frogmouths, which are found in SE Asia and Australia. They're sorta owlish, I guess, but aren't really owls at all. In the daytime, they look like sticks. Pretty cool birds.

Surreal and painful it would seem.

cherimoya?

As the cold weather has recently arrived here I felt very depresed. This journal changed that. Thanks for everything about you Pygmy.

I've been kinda absent here lately.
Just saying hi.

<heads off to crank the Masada>

Yay for impromptu zooming about

I've been meaning to mention this for a couple of weeks, I kind of forgot about it due to what else happened later that evening (see my blog).

I kind of tend to be oddly visually oriented towards other people. Rather than judge them by how they look, I subconsciously judge them by who they look like.

In other words, I sometimes find myself having a positive or negative reaction to people I don't really know. Usually I can trace this reaction to someone I know (or know of) that resembles them. Sometimes I'll just sit there trying to figure out whom they resemble. Once in a great while that gets the wrong kind of reaction from the subject.

Anyways, after about 20 minutes of this Doug Stanhope show, I realized I'd briefly mistaken his girlfriend for you. Not that I'd figure you'd leave your hubby for a hard-drinking comedian/presidential candidate.
