Kismet Challenge! We're going to start playing this for favor....
Can you un-Engrish this famous saying back into its original form?
This is considered inappropriate, and examination of the soul.
The trick is, you can't run it through the translator backward. It's like making a copy of a copy of a copy... it just keeps getting worse.
Lyrical Engrish23:53 May 30 2011

Ever take lyrics from some of your favorite songs and Engrish them up? Take the English, translate it to Chinese, then to Japanese then back to English...
You get some fun results, especially with more poetic lyrics like these...
Rush, Cold Fire
"The Pattern of Moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire."
Turns into:
"Facilities during the Cold War I discharge room floor Tuesday that the expression of moonlight mode"
Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb
"There is no pain, you are receding."
Turns into:
"Without pain, you are going backward."
The Beatles, I Am the Walrus
"Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down."
Turns into:
"Custard yellow substance, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Xanthippe Crabalocker porn nuns
The boy was a naughty girl underwear, let you down."
They might be a little too poetic....

Snailvasion...14:16 May 27 2011

...I should take a picture of it. Snails - everywhere. With all this rain, they're trying to escape the drowning Earth and get to higher ground. So the driveway, the sidewalks, the barn doors, the garbage cans.... everything has snails crawling on it. Thousands of them.
They're small and goldish in color. They're not easy to see in the driveway - nor are they easy to avoid. Walking on the driveway feels... well... crunchy.
It feels a bit creepy. No pun intended.

What can I talk about today? Hmmm... oh, I can mention my daughter just won another writing contest at school. Along with having her art selected for the art gallery exhibit, I'm just trying to keep it all from going to her head... and, unsuccessfully.
When I grow up, I hope to be as good as she is...

I saw a friend on Facebook friended a guy we knew since elementary school, so I checked out the friend's profile.
He looks JUST like his father did when I knew him, and back then his father looked like was in his 80's even though he was in his 50's. So this guy who is the same age I am, looks like he is at least 20-years older. He looks grandfatherly.
I refuse to grow old before my time. It isn't like I'm going to go out and get cosmetic surgery to prevent looking old, but I refuse to allow myself to age prematurely.
Young at heart, young in spirit - or maybe it's just the genetics... I don't know. I'm just going to do what I can to keep young and active.
Acoustic open mic...01:22 May 23 2011
Times Read: 1,327
...my friend from high school came over to play some acoustic guitar while Morri sang... going to try and join him and his folk-rock ensemble for a few open mic engagements.
It was fun. We drank Jack and Magic Hat #9 and sang a bunch of classic rock songs. We discovered he know a lot we don't and we know a lot he doesn't and there isn't much meeting ground between but it give us an idea of what we need to learn...
It was da bomb...18:11 May 22 2011

...completely lacked any kind of Rapture yesterday, which was fine. Our celebration of Morri's birthday was kind of a Birthday Party/Last Supper.
The menu was amazing. Our friends really out did themselves with home made everything. Bacon wrapped scallops, mac & cheese from scratch, BBQ'd spare ribs, Fritatas... it was an incredible feast.
I think with this group we've all gotten to the point where we each try and out-do each other with what we make. I might be losing that battle, even - but I'm seriously benefiting from being a contender!

...my day started with a change in schedule as I was arriving to a job site, continued with a change in schedule that is going to make me re-arrange my day tomorrow and ended with me watching my daughter's soccer team play valiantly in more harsh conditions against a team that had 8 substitutes to her team's... no substitutes.
I'm proud of them. Even to the end, they still fought and hung in there.
I'm learning my lessons watching them work, learn and achieve every week.
Anniversary of our loses...03:04 May 17 2011

...Morri has made mention of Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppets. He passed away on May 16, 1990 and with his passing, one of our entertainment industry's greatest creative minds was lost.
Last week Wednesday, May 11 marked the 10th anniversary of the death of Douglas Adams - author of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
This was a realization I just made yesterday looking up the spelling of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal...
...there was a relevance, trust me.
I also discovered in honor of Douglas Adams, May 25th is Annual International Towel Day. I wish I had made that discovery a week ago. What a perfect theme for one of our Wednesday night meetings! We can still celebrate it a week later though.
I'm looking forward to that, now.

Ideas!21:28 May 15 2011

Just returned from a trip to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. My daughter, along with many of her peers from every school in her district, has art on display. It is quite an honor for them - considering the art from only one male and one female student from each grade is selected for the display.
She is in fifth grade - her art is impressive for her age. But some of the art on display is outstanding. Art was an area I enjoyed and excelled at in school, so to see her work, her progress and the creations of these other students - I was awestruck.
So much of it was creatively done on digital media... if only they had digital cameras back when I was in school!
Another very impressive display was the RAW display - the Future Curators exhibit - which is a collection of art done by local high school students that is on a permanent but rotating display along with all the rest of the gallery. The A-K is impressive. They have original works of Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Warhol - just to name a few. Much of it donated by the Knox family.
But the work in the RAW exhibit in many cases is simply breathtaking in form, creativity and statement. It blows away much of what the gallery has collected over the years from popular "professional" artists.
It inspired me and broke down my spirit a little at the same time. I need to do something more with my photography than just take pictures of pretty women and interesting places. I need to create something more than just nice images to look at. I need to make something that means more than just portfolio fodder.
I have my quest.

Morri has challenged (requested?) me to make something with chicken, mandarin oranges and make it sweet & spicy.
In the kitchen - on webcam - cheer or jeer, I'll drink a beer.

...speaking of animals making comebacks, apparently the black bear population in the area is on the rise. Williamsville, NY is a heavily populated northern suburb of Buffalo - very much where the current center of business and commerce for the area sits.
According to the article, the police shot and killed a bear in this area last year, which to me is quite sad. There has to be a friendlier way of capturing and relocating them back to more woodland areas of neighboring Niagara and Wyoming counties.

There is a fox checking out hen house.
Some people might think it is a metaphor, but it's not. There is literally a fox checking out my hen house. I had to chase it away tonight while mowing the lawn.
Although I will do what I can to protect the chickens without harming the fox, I have to say I'm a bit inspired to see a fox in the area. It has been decades since such animals have been around. Not sure if the populations are making a comeback or if it is just development pushing them into what is left of rural areas...
I hope pheasant make a comeback too....

...better than the 41F and rain from last week; tonight my daughter's soccer team got to play on a dry, nicely manicured field in mid-50s and over-cast. Perfect weather for football of any kind - and they kicked butt!

3. Editing photos.
4. Work with Morri in getting my new stamp finished.

I love to see on my FaceBook updates, Ducky posting information about Joli's programs.
Spreading the word! It amazes me sometimes how relationships on VR have evolved and lead to so many positive things.
I feel like I've been part of a virtual barn raising - know what I mean? The community that joins together, not only to help each other in work, effort and progress - but a whole lot of fun and games when the time is appropriate too.
I love the friends I've made here and I love the community that has grown from these friendships! You're all awesome. :)

...I have made a bitter-sweet exit from House Eternal.
Eternal has been my VR home for almost 5 years. I love - LOVE - so many of the people that I have met there. It is sad for me to leave it.
However, I have taken the initiative to start a coven and with the assistance of some trusted confidants here on VR, we will be creating a unique society.
A very unique society.
I will be seeking other members who want to take part in this. If interested, simply ask.
Thank you.
