The cat just scared the bejesus out of me! I’ve always said, “bejebus” in the very rare cases I’ve said it. Usually its something more akin to Carlin’s (amz) dictionary. But then I had the inkling to look “bejebus” up in dictionary.com and wikipedia.com I found nothing despite various phonetic deviances until I came across “bejesus.”

Now just what is a “bejesus“?

Dictionary.com suggests:

Used as an intensive: The bear scared the bejesus out of us.

Fortunately for those of us willing to ponder just “what comes out of us?!” there is a website devoted to the topic of “bejesuses” and that is the Bejesus Quarterly.

Wow! I’ve been drumstruck with a “productive ambivalence.” I’m getting something done but I could be getting more done and I need to go feed my family but I really just want to sit at the computer psuedo-multitasking.

Last night I was having a conversation and a, ahem, “younger” person said, “Have you seen that movie ‘Dawn of the Dead‘? Did cha know its a remake!” At this point I had to rant on how a large percentage of “new” movies today are simply remakes such as “The Bourne Identity“. Here is the 1978 version of Dawn of the Dead and the 1988 Bourne Identity Mini-series.

So the conversation shifts to Shaun of the Dead. I’ve never seen this one. But people start to gather around and share in their mirth over this movie. Apparently Shaun of the Dead is side splitting funny.

So today, I’m using Blog Explosion for a moment and come across Jersey Shore posting on Shaun of the Dead! Tis a sign! So, having not seen it, I must recommend Shaun of the Dead to any zombie fan!

      

   

Ok. First the heat pump (if you don’t want to count the array of problems with the vehicles, the computers, couch, dental work and other things that predecessed the heat pump) and now the Garbage Disposal – In-Sink-Erator 444 (amz) (and yes, that’s the exact same one we have!) It’s been a good unit. And it has an “in-house 4 year warantee” which I guess I now get to figure what that means. The motor now just hums and yes I checked to make sure the blades were not jammed. It also looks like we have some leakage out the bottom now. I have to assume that a seal has broken or that a utensil dropped in the disposal punctured something. I don’t know. But this moves up pretty high on the priority list.

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

This morning it would be real easy to slip into panic mode. As such, I made a point to not have coffee today. I can’t say enough how much calmer I am on drastically reduced caffeine intake. I still have an overwhelming urge to do things today that I should not.

Today is about computing. Somehow cleaning, finances, blogging, home repair, vehicle maintenance and programming need to work their way in.
