The coldest winter I ever spent
Last night I went out to an Aaron Jae night club experience at Whisper, 535 Florida St. It was more fun than I thought it would be. Danced, drank, met some cool people including some Space Cowboys. I haven’t been to a show in a long time where the DJs were celebrated; I wasn’t expecting much but I was very impressed. They talented and made the dance floor a lot more fun.
Must chill now. Going to bed at 4am will do that.
I was in a Walgreens today in the footcare aisle. I’ve had yucky toes from a nail fungus for a long while so I was checking out the latest products to rid myself of the yuck. I found NonyX Nail Gel. It claims to get rid of built-up nail keratin, which has been a yucky side effect of the yucky fungus. I was interested.
I noticed that NonyX was by far the most expensive product on the shelf at $25. “Hmm, “I thought,” it must be powerful stuff if it costs that much.” I almost walked out with a bottle. But since I’m such a comparison shopper, I decided to do a little homework first…
Ingredients: Water, ethanoic acid, xanthan gum, fragrance.
Hmm.. What is “ethanoic acid”? A google search says it’s just another name for acetic acid… the main active ingredient in vinegar!
They are selling 4 oz bottles of vinegar for $25. What a country!
I’ve started my toes on $2/gallon vinegar treatments. I’ll tell you in a month how it went.

For the first time in forever, I flew. The Zagi flew very roughly by my unpracticed hands, with new flimsy winglets (some tape will fix that), some exposed wiring and flapping skin, new coroplast elevons, and with high and gusty winds. But I flew :-)
I can drive to the park, fly 2 batteries and bop into 7-11 for some sandwiches in under an hour. :-)
Dearest Lazyweb,
I have no graphic arts artistic talent at all. Would someone that -does- have some please contact me about drawing a pirate riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is for a good cause and if it takes more than 5 minutes to draw, we’re doing it wrong.
I went to the Golden Gate Milonga with Vixen tonight… a real Argentine Tango milonga with dancing and everything. It was great fun. We’ll both be back to this milonga and others!
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie review by Matt of X-Entertainment.com captures a lot of what I love about the movie. Maura and I had a great laugh reading it and remembering how totally true to the original is.
Rovang.org has more information about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers than you need. But not as much as you want.
RuinedEndings.com will ruin the ending of most any movie you want to see :-)
Black Ranger Rules.
Dear friends can make you happy.
