mid work week [weekend] post
with half the work week over, I buy me a sixer of Sundogs for the goofy 24 hour transition betwixt day shift and night. I try and stay awake as long as possible watching some hulu/Netflix. another episode of "lost in space" (tos), a movie with Jim Balushi (i already forgot the title), and an episode of 'NOVA science now' to name a few. it's gettin' nicer outside. the ol' dog and I do some front porch sittin', drinkin' said Sundogs (and life is good!). Rosie and I just got done with one of our barefoot walks (the tootsies are kind of tender. gotta bake on a thick pad when the heat wave comes). speakin' of feet, I watch a show about "super humans". it profiled about 5 peeps with extraordinary abilities. one of them had the ability to run barefoot in shorts and no shirt thru subzero weather (due, he claims, to almost freezing to death as a child). they show him as he progresses thru a half marathon. he sets a Guinness world book record for finishing. his toes were totally black. the doctors say they may have to amputate. surprisingly, he was able to bring them back to life using the same internal thermostat he uses to keep himself warm during his runs. it was a cool show! other "super humans" included syn-esthetes (the ability to associate color, and/or taste to music), a blind man from birth creating life like finger paintings of landscapes that he's never seen, a guy who can crunch impossible numbers faster than a calculator, etc. (did I mention it was a cool show?
). anyway. it's gettin' close enough to the time when I should crash, being I gotta work in 10 hours...g'night.
