Slight Update... # 2

i have been gone from this blog for a few months because i recently had a partial hip replacement ( the top of my right femur is now predominantly plastic and cobalt ) So i've been in the Hospital, then a care facility, then home, sleeping mostly... and i still don't have a computer of my own.
i only have an hour on the library computer and i want to do some other things right now...!!!

Extremely Bad Craziness...!!!

Someone has hacked into my other blog account...!!!
The Riders of The Golden Hamster and is filling it with evil nonsensical advertisements...!!!
The curious thing though, is that they are not hacking into this account...???
Evil Knows No Logic...!!!

A Tiny Update

If you're curious about my recent thoughts and such, i am most active on the internet ( hardly at all really ) on The HP48 Newsgroup:
HP48 Newsgroup
The HP48, if you're wondering, is a programable calculator, that has been superceeded in recent years by a number of 'newer' calculators, but the site is still called the HP48 Newsgroup, because all the newer ones suck donkey bile.

i finally got around to seeing Disney's 'The Black Hole'!
i was expecting it to be awful and it was pretty awful, but not as bad as my worst case senarios. The ending was awful though. It could have been worse in that they might have escaped the black hole, but thankfully, they were all sucked into it; except for Ernst Borgnine, who was blown up by the evil robots, and Anthony Perkins who was sliced and diced by the evilt robots ( this was one of the most annoying aspects of this movie... An evil robot with a cusinart attached to its manicals. )
The awful part was that it was unresolved, to my satisfaction, as to what was on the other side.
The good thing ( one of the good things ) about NetFlix is that it allows you to watch really bad movies, because it's so convenient to do so...!
---
i have an appointment on the 25th to see a doctor about getting my leg finally fixed, or perhaps he'll tell me that it can't be fixed within the parameters of my health insurance...???
---
Out of time again...

The Continuum of Craziness Persists...

So i switched over to Tracfone from Cingular to get away from the extremely evil company cingular, and then i discovered that Tracfone is actually Cingular with a different halloween mask on...!!!
---
On Sept. 20th, i went over to see Dr. Mark Olson and he told me that my leg is not getting worse, but it's not getting better either, and the angle of the brace is about 20 degrees off true...???!!! and that unless this huge gap of missing bone fills in, essentially immediately, he want to arrange for another doctor to pull out all the old crap in my leg and put in new crap...
---
Getting back to Tracfone, i just TODAY noticed that the address that Waldomart had written down for my address is WRONG, and that this is probably why i have not recieved the new SIM card that i need to pull my old phone number to my new phone...!!! Plus-- i have tried three times to contact their techical support service over the internet and once by phone and been turned away by either technical difficulties or lack of appropriate automated choices...!!!
i hate cingular.
---
summer is over in spokane.
---
spokane doesn't seem to have a red light district.
my sister was telling me where to go to find the choicest whores, but i haven't seen any yet.
there are however, lots of pale, ugly caucasians. ( very few filipinoes and asians... ) ???
---
i'm still looking for a year or three or four ( obsolete ) ibook or such...
---

More Extreme Craziness...

More things have been happening that are too crazy for you to believe, and so crazy that i think that i'm just making them up...!!! Wheneven i try to tell someone around here what is happening to me, i feel compelled to provide them with some kind of documentation or the testimony of another person before i can expect them to buy into any of this...!!!
---
As you may already know, all the physical therapy that i've been doing to make my leg stronger, has probably been hurting it more, since it turns out that i have osteoperoses ??? and it's not healing properly, at all...!!! And so now, i'm supposed to be keeping ALL weight off it for gawd only knows how long...???
---
Then my Cell phone company decided ( Cingular ) to terminate my Billing Plan, and so, not only would i have to find a new billing plan, i would have to BUY A WHOLE NEW PHONE too...!!!
So i switched to a Tracfone, and i tried to get Cingular to switch my old phone number to the new phone, as they are required to; by LAW...!!! But they insist that it will take at least 2 weeks to switch...!!!
My phone number for the Tracfone is 1-509-842-8199, but i might switch back to my old number at any moment... ( 1-509-990-2750 )
---
Then; since i had to buy a new phone and i made a bunch of other crazy purchases the last few days, i ran over my checking account, for 2 days, and my Bank ( Washington Mutual ) charged me nearly 100$ in Overdrawn charges...!!! 27$ x 3
And two of those were on one day- The 7th...??? !!!
i'll have to look into that...!!!
---
Then i promised to get my Aunt, who i still owe 600$ for plane fare, a subscription to Netflix, but i'm so frazzled that i don't know if i will do that this month...!!!
---
Speaking of Netflix, the mail boxes in my new apartment building are so small that they won't accept the DVD's...!!!
---
Things are Very Wiggily...!!!
---
Also; i've been having the films sent to my sister's house, but she is being very tardy about bringing them over, and it appears that she may have lost one...???!!!
---
My leg doesn't hurt very much during the day, but it is very hard to find a comfortable position when i'm trying to sleep...!!!
---
i am still looking for a computer.
It might even be a Intel, NonMac, which i would like to install with Linux...???
Any help with that would be appreciated too...
---
Something kooky happened the other day while i was trying to access my blog via my cell phone and a weird message came up that seemed to relate to the Anomalous Genitalia Posting ( moved to Picoans ) But now, i can't seem to find that message...??? On the cell phone, it was a big Warning ( from Blogspot ??? ) with a note saying: What is this?, ( or - What does this mean? )
But now, it's disappeared...???
---
Sproogles...

The Usual Craziness...

So i found out about 2 weeks ago...
That all the Physical Therapy that i'd been doing for the past 6 weeks was, in all probability, actually hurting my leg, since it wasn't healing properly to begin with...!!!
i'd asked my doctor here in Spokane to take an X-Ray when i first contacted him, and he assured me that the Physical Therapist would decide if i was healing 'on course' or not...
Well; after several weeks of unnecessary, and unaccounted for pain, i finally got the X-Ray that i'd been begging for, and it showed that the stem leading to the ball was 'Bent' and that i had Low Mineral Bones...???
And now; i'm supposed to be OFF the leg for at least a month, and then they're going to retest it, and see if i can get back into physical therapy or stay off it for another few months...!!!
ugh.
---
Since i'm still using the computers at the library, and i can only use them for an hour at a time, it may take awhile to type in all the data for my latest, extremely evil, cabbage code.
---
i have a new theory on art as well...
It is The Theory of Opposites.
What kinds of pictures should i be drawing...
i've been playing around with an old favorite; Anomalous Genitals...
But this seems as Old Hat as Bowls of Fruit, or Ocean Beaches....
So i'm thinking that the Next Big Thing in Art will be--
Opposites.
The trick here is finding some 'x' and then determining what it's Opposite is...
That's the trick.
What is The Opposite of a Cat.
A Dog?
No.
A Dog is just about the same thing as a Cat...
What is really The Opposite of a Cat...???
How can you even begin to analyze this...???
So-- for now; This is a very raw idea...???
---

Looking for an Old Computer...???

i'm looking for an older computer, a Mac maybe,
something that predates OSX, which i HATE...!!!
OSX is a total sell-out to the appearances of MS...!!!
You see this same trend with HP Calculators, they are looking more and more like TI Calculators...!!!
But anyways...
i would also like it to be a portable; laptop, or such, and have a CD burner built in...???
Also; since i'm so poor, i would like it to be around $200...!
This doesn't strike me as completely unreasonable, as the resale value of computers is amazingly low...
Perhaps this is why you never see old computers in Hock Shops...???
So if you've upgraded in the last few years, and have the old one still sitting in a closet, or a box in the basement, and would like to support the Consortium--
Then Thanx for considering us...!!!

Next...

Well; i don't want to jinx it by saying too much, but it looks like i'll soon be moving out of my sister's house & into my own apartment--
It'll be the best place that i've ever lived in on my own...??? ( !!! )
more later...

Anomalous Oddity of This Blog...

One of the Oddest things about this Blog, is that, from time to time, i will have an absolutely & unconditional certitude that i have entered onto this Blog a Page containing various items...
And then; At some later time-- i absolutely can not find it...!!!
Or-- i'll do an Internal Search of The Blog, for a particular term that i feel must exist on numerous pages, and it insists that there are "No References" for that term...???
Blogger has; i believe, from time to time, lost or forgotten pages, that later turn up again, or occasionally, i will be unable to find a page when looking for it, from one direction, only to have it turn up, when examining a set of pages that were retrieved in a slightly different manner...!!!
---
How very annoying.

Forced to Use MicroS-

So i finally got around to working on my Owie Series: Broken Hip today,
Adding a new picture, and reorganizing all the other ones,
and intending to add some more text biddles,
Updating this crazy nonsense and so on...
and i get about half done with the tedious job of moving the pictures around in html code...!
Because this stupid Blog format won't let me just lift pictures up and move them around...
Noooo...
That would be too easy wouldn't it...
And This Stupid MS Internet Explorer decides, for no reason at all, to just; Up and quit...!!!
FAWK...!!!
---
Maybe i'll get up the energy to try to work on it again tomorrow...???
Ugh.

My Latest Project...

Can You Win @ Roulette...???
Can you...???
After extensive simulations with a new scheme,
that turned out to be a perversion of several older, well digested schemes,
i'm not sure if this new approach really works or not...???
It seems to,
but there is just a crack of doubt leaking at the edges...???

For Deana: Extra Fancy & Fun Coffee Travel Mugs

These are awfully cute...
Brugo Mugs

Surprise Surprise ( for me!!! ) Many of these actually claim to have a Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Technology for Superior Insulation...??? For only 25$
Thermos Nissan

Is this a Coffee Mug...???
Zojirushi

Most Recent Row with Deana Crabtree

So last night; i was doing the dishes and discovered that the bottom of one of their Stainless Steel Traveling Coffee Mugs had popped off rather easily-- taking the hint, i then pulled off the top portion and washed the inside inner liner and let all the parts dry off in the dish rack.
This morning; i discovered that Deana had thrown all the parts away, thinking that it was 'Broken' ...! ...that i had 'taken out the inside' ...
Dang! i forgot her actual expression, but it was pure jibberish...!!!
So i asked her what she meant as she ran down stairs.
- no response.
---
This is very archetypal of her behaviour, and i got to thinking that it is exactly like my mother's behaviour...!!! That is; She will either respond with a completely inattentive & archived apposite remark -or- She will become completely hysterical.
---
Not that she apparently behaves this way around everyone...
As i mentioned before; everyone else loves her, in their eyes;
She is the most perfect little canary in the whole dang kitchen...
So what is it about me that brings this out in these two...???
i think it may be related to the aphorism:
"If you make someone think that they are thinking, then they will love you,
But if you make them actually think, then they will hate you."
i am absolutely terrible at making people think that they are thinking...!!!
Instead; i frequently ask questions or make comments which necessarily require the listener to engage both hemispheres of their grey quishy lumps.
Some people can't handle this.
So as long as she's participating in pointless bantering with Sandi or her boyfriend, then she is able to put on a happy face and appear to all the world that she is a little princess from faerieland.
---
When she came back upstairs, i asked her again what it was that was broken about the coffee mug...
( Looks very much like the first mug shown / Scroll down a little )
...and after a little more incoherient ranting, i came to believe, that she believed, that the inner lining of this mug, contained an Insulating 'Vacuum'...???
You may recall that such a design is called a:
Dewar flask n.
An insulated container used especially to store liquefied gases, having a double wall with a vacuum between the walls and silvered surfaces facing the vacuum.
It is typically used to store fluids such as Liquid Nitrogen, Oxygen or Hydrogen.
Not usually used for Hot Coffee or Ice Tea.
---
Of course no amount of reasoning would dissuade her from this belief...
...Because she's an idiot.
---
The curious thing about this is that while i was a street person, i would get the most glowing reports about her, That she was going to an exclusive Military Academe, or learning to Fly Airplanes or Spending the summer Fishing in Alaska, or raising Pigs.
But now that i've had some first hand experience with her...
i don't even believe that she's average.
( The dead giveaway for this may be seen in her extensive and tepid collection of videos and dvd's, The Complete Absence of Books in her Room; ( except for piles of Romance Novels ), The Games that she has for her X-Box, or The lack of interesting programs or games on her computer... Neither does she seem to create -Anything- Poetry, Journals, Documenting Ideas... again: except for numerous photographs of Flowers, that she's taken, that are routinely photographed, dead on, without the slightest suggestion of insightful perceptions...??? )
---
Clearly-- She seems to be an overachiver ( See: Rushmore, or Broadcast News for other notable overachievers ) but like all good overachievers, she's just a bit dumb.
And in the worst way--
That is:
She doesn't know it.
---
One of the great hallmarks of a genius- like me -is that i know i'm dumb and will freely admit ignorance when confronted with things that i don't understand, or when someone says something confusing or unintelligible... Unless of course; i have very good reasons for believing that the source of these unintelligible remarks is an imbecile.
---
oh well.
It's all very sad.

Supplement:
July 7th '06
---
i was talking to my sister Sandi this morning, ( Deana's Mother ) and i asked her what Deana's Academic Record consisted of throughout her years in The Public School system, and she said that Deana was A Straight A Student.
---
My opinion has been; Not just recently, but for years and years-- Perhaps having formed as early as the 7th or 8th Grade, was that The Straight A Students are Not the Smartest Ones.
The B- Students, and possibly lower, Often have the greatest intellectual potential, and are often much better 'Read' than The SAS's.
It's not simply that TSAS's take the easiest; No risk classes, or that they possess a higher than normal 'IQ' ; Specifically tailored to Manipulate or 'Suck up' to Authority Figures and other mildly willed Kingfishes...
...It is more than that--
They have experienced from their earliest days, A Pavlovian Behavioural Feedback Loop that has 'Taught' them to seek The Safest and Blandest Aquiescent Validation that is available.
And within The Public School System, This translates into Straight A's.
Everyone else that is struggling to form An Autonomous Personality and Self Actualize, is Turbulently & Brutally pushed away from those Inane, Capricious & Vain markings on their Report Cards.
---
It basically comes down to "How do they get those Straight A's?"
A: By accepting The Indoctrination Methods of The Public School System.
If you resist, and actually try to learn something...
You Will be Punished.

Boycott IMAX...!!!

This Rant may contain Spoilers for Superman Returns... ( ??? )
---
i got my sister to take me over to the local IMAX Theater Sunday to see; Superman Returns in 3D...!!!
Only to discover the rinky dink IMAX Theater here in Spokane Washington isn't showing it in 3D...!!!
Additionally; The posters on view throughout the IMAX complex there advertise the film as being: 'In IMAX'...???
What does this mean; 'In IMAX'...???
It was Not filmed in IMAX, since the film; On screen only took up about half the full screen,
One quarter of which was empty along the top and bottom.
It was simply a conventional theater quality version,
Shown on an IMAX screen. Should this qualify it for inclusion in the IMAX genre of film...???
You could show any home slide show on an IMAX screen, and then argue persuasively that it is 'In IMAX'...!!!
---
i just noticed while reading the blurb on the website sited above that--
Even in the 3D version, ONLY SELECTED BITS have been converted to 3D...!!!
What a Freakin' Rip Off...!!!
---
Boycott IMAX!
---
What else.
i'm still hobbling along on my walker, since i broke my hip back in May, and while i was there, None of the IMAX attendants asked me if i needed any assistance, or showed me any consideration in finding a suitable seat. In fact, there are NO facilities there to accommodate any Disabled Persons toward the end of finding a suitable viewing seat.
The only seats that are availbable to persons in wheelchairs, are in the very freakin' front row...!!!
---
And then; The carpeting had a very detailed and complex pattern to it, that made it very difficult to determine where the edges of the stairs were...
Since these edges were not marked or lit in any reasonable manner...!
It was a genuinely very dangerous arrangement of stairs and darkness...!!!
Even for ably mobile persons...!
---
The film 'Superman Returns' is a 2 1/2 Hour film, substantially longer than most IMAX films- i suspect- and as such, Was made additionally unbearable to me- in particular- because the seats are bare hardwood...!!! Even the sleaziest conventional theaters have padded seats...!
---
The film itself.
Was very Lame.
If you recall the 1978 version, the byline was "You'll believe a man can fly" which was especially cruel, because; given-- even-- the technology that was available at that time, it was just wrong.
They filmed it wrong.
They mismatched the backgrounds to the wired superman in the foregrounds...
AND THEY KNEW IT...
and they shipped it anyway...
That is Lame.
Very Lame.
This New Version, at least, did not suffer from that same 'type' of Lameness...
It was Technically - OK - But just a bad film.
It had this one bit, about 20 minutes into the film which highlighted the 'SuperEffects' and thereafter, it was amazingly tepid.
---
And the storyline was essentially nonexistant.
Superman, leaves-- for no good reason, and then returns...
In a Kryptonian Spaceship.
The curious thing about this is that a pivotal plot device later on, perpetrated by Lex Luther, requires us to have some comprehension-- Or Sympathy-- for this 'Idea' of a Technology based on Crystalography...???
Wouldn't it have been nice, if at the beginning of the film, we were able to witness how this technology actually worked, on board the freakin' Kryptonian Space Ship...
But NO!
We are only allowed to see the damn thing Crash...!!!
What does that really say about the superior benefits of Kryptonian handiwork...???
---
Then: Later on-- to add to this point --Lex Luthor is going to essentially take over the world by using this Kryptonian technology that he stole from Superman's, Amazingly Security Free, Fortress of Solitude...
So anyways...
Lex impliments this 'Landmass Bomb' and then the world sits on it's hands.
OK -- Very little time as gone by during this period, but even so,
Lex-- while claiming to have the technological resourses to combat all the worlds armies and such...
Is completely Unprepared at this time...!!!
He has not created a single Kryptonian weapon to defend himself with...!!!
Wouldn't it be nice if we got to see him impliment some of this Crystal Manufacturing Process in a more functional and INTERESTING Manner...!!!
GeeOdd...!!!
---
i was reading in Newsweek, the director; Bryan Singer was saying that he's really evolved as a director, because this film was made to attract 'gals' with it's 'Romantic' Elements...!!!
What a freakin' HOOT...!!!
The Romantic Elements consist of Lois Lane being a Cold Fish towards both her 'New Boy Friend', Clark Kent & Superman.
There is also the not very subtle revelation that her child is actual Clark's/Kal El's --
But it faulters repeatedly when we'd rather hope that there was a deeper scratch into this theme...
Plus: There's this Article that Lois wrote: "Why the world doesn't need Superman" that she's won a Pulitzer Prize for... But we never get to see even a hint of what her argument was...???
---
If the Superman Suit is Invulnerable, as is demonstrated repeatedly...
Then why does it allow Lex to stab Superman with a Kryptonite Knife...???
OK -- The suit is susceptible to the effects of Kryptonite too...
OK -- If that's so...
Then when Superman is fatally weakened at the end, lifting the Crystal Continent into space,
Why isn't the suit equally damaged, and torn off him during reentry...???
HUH...!!!
---
Are there any clever, memorable lines in this film...???
In the first film, you may recall; Lois screaming-- "You've got me-- Who's got you!?"
No such wit exists in this version.
The closest is a convoluted aphorism about seeing the world through each others eyes...???
It was too long.
And dull.
---
Superdull.

Something New...

Pedigree Tables & Asperger's...

One thing that i seem to have noticed from my recent exposure to 'the rest of my family'...
Now that i've done some research into Asperger's and Schzoid Personality Disorder...
Is that i think EveryOne of my blood relatives has Asperger's or some closely related personality disorder...
But that for some, unknown factor, they are all comparatively functional, while i am not.
Classically; Symptom wise-- Many of these people are much more pathologically disturbed than i am...
So i'm thinking...
Maybe Asperger's itself isn't the disabling blight that it's occasionally made out to be...
( Asperger's is; already conceeded to be, pretty dang subtle in most cases )
...But is a sauce that highlights some other disaffection...
Like unrequited genius.
---
???

Lack of Bloggic Attention...

It seems unlikely that anyone has even noticed that i haven't been very attentive towards my blog here, but-- with my fractured hip and staying at my sisters, where i have to sit in these terribly hard chairs that they have in front of their computers... it's very trying to get anything done...
Plus-- this stupid leg hurts in all the wrong places...!!!
It doesn't hurt in the vicinity of the hip joint, that was actually fractured...!!!
It never did-- !!! --it always hurt along the inside, around the groin, and now it's migrating to the knee and shin...!!! And a little of the foot.
But mostly- it hurts all down the inside, especially when even the tiniest amount of torque is applied to it... ???
But on top of that; there is this comparatively low volume of annoying discomfort all the time, which makes it difficult to concentrate on anything for even the shortest length of time, and i always had a pretty short attention span to begin with...
---
Sandi- my sister -took me out to look at rooms and studios the other day, and it was productive in that we discovered that everything is very expensive, and those few that aren't very expensive are disturbingly slovenly... or have kooky elements to them, which i suspect will be the measuring stick for the room that i eventually settle on...
e.g.; Just how unacceptably kooky is it?
---
i'm not getting along with my niece; Deana, at all.
Everyone else in the family thinks she's the darling; and i suspect that the reason for the disconjunct is that she knows that i know that she is really a scheming vampiric witch.
Is it my fault that i have supernatural powers?
---
My Medicaid has finally been approved...!!!
And i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to get a referral to a Orthopedicologist... and get started on some genuine Physical Therapy.
---
more when i can...

Old DVD's

i just recently got a DVD Player, one of those little ones, with the big screen ( if you sit close enough to it...??? )
So i've been catching up on the movies/films that i've missed out on, during the last 2+ years of intransigence...???!!!
Of course the BAD Films make a much stronger impression than the good films, which i hardly even remember seeing...
i was hoping that NetFlix would have a record of all the films that i'd watched during the last couple of weeks, but they don't...!!!
The WORST film that i watched recently was 'Polar Express' which was a WONDERFUL Book, A True Classic, that when converted to film, was translated into an Arnold Schwarzenegger Vehicle...!!!
Ack.
---
Profit ( The TV Series that ran for all of 6 Episodes back in the early 90's ) is as PERFECT Now as i Remember it being Then...!!!
Profit; Is still, i believe-- The Best TV Show Ever Created.
---
The Latest Harry Potter Machine... Eh.
i think the last one was better.
---
