Galactica Finale initial thoughts.

Beautiful. Perfect. It wrapped up through a weaving in of myths, legends and theories all in one efficient story overall. It's a shame people couldn't see the series beyond the sci-fi tagging that relegated it to being seen as a go sit at the kids table at a family gathering type. But instead they would have seen it for what it was a human story drama. Thats' their loss and as the series final minutes played out they are none the wiser as they scurry about their daily lives.

Three shorts

1)Workout buddy
So today I'm outside working out before going out for the night. Going through my usual rotation I do before getting into everything else I'm standing there with the sun in my face. Had my eyes closed and just listening to everything. Heard the usual dry leaves that survived the winter blowing around on the driveway but heard something else. Started to look around and not 2 or 3 feet in front of me, and still closing on the grass, was a fat squirrel foraging around. He/She stops as I look at it and gives me that look saying "Hey your in my area bud whatcha doing?" Figured alright little fatty you made it through the winter so I'll get you some fresh nuts instead of whatever you have buried around. Went inside grabbed a handful and came back out. He's still looking around in the same spot then goes back a bit as I came forward again. Stops with that look again and I toss the nuts maybe 3 feet to the right of it and again gives me that look. "What nuts again?" I was going to throw him some fresh lettuce but didn't have it open and wasn't sure it would still be around by time I pulled it out so went with the usual nuts. So I get back to my routine and watch/hear it chewing away for a couple of minutes until it ran back to it's tree.

2)Doh a deer
I took a detour along the way out instead of going the usual way since I hadn't been along a stretch of road for a bit. Had to make a stop on the way out so no avoiding it since at the time I figured I wouldn't be near this one store. Now driving along I see a few things down in the distance running across the 4-5 lanes of traffic. Come up on it and was 3 deers, does(?), standing on the side of the road. Now this was past some ahhh strip clubs before the entrance ramps. So I figured yeah on their way to/from a stag party at one of them....Or some people who really love animals were in one of the establishments and the "talent" was late. To top it off I could have avoided the whole area since I ended up going past the store I detoured for in its' usual location.

3)Do not attempt disclaimers.
Had to chuckle after watching a commercial for some washer/driers that popped this disclaimer up. Happened to come up since for some reason they aligned 20ish units in 2 rows for a monster truck to drive over. So yeah don't attempt that at home since I'm sure everyone has 20 washer/driers and a monster truck sitting around to come up with the idea of wow why didn't I think of that before?
Really? Seriously? I mean I've seen some bad commercials that are just plain stupid but to have to toss a disclaimer up such as that one would need to be a moron in their own little world. And I thought ones that have people walking around with whole unopened boxes of X product were bad.

Chef time no really I can cook

Take 1 chicken breast, cut it to stuff or butterfly. Add a mixture of some pink salt, parsley, onion and lemon pepper into the cavity or interior exposed cut area if it's butterflied. Basically rub it into the interior graining of the meat.
Take 2 thin or medium pieces of dried mango and stuff it inside also. Flatten it then grill it with a coating of olive oil and optional cherry syrup from a bottle of cherries. Cherries are part of the desert mixed with some fresh mango and blackberries otherwise skip the cherry syrup part. Serve with some Pav Bhaji for some extra flavor.

I don't measure or anything so your mileage varies. Something comes out right it comes out right, otherwise I keep refining it. Made this mustard sauce a bit ago I still haven't recreated that was very good for porks or chicken dishes. Might have carried it over a couple of days and started from a base that I don't remember so that might be the issue.

Ha seems right today

Sluggish month.

Funny but for three days of jury duty it's messed my cycle up for a month now. Guess shifting my whole schedule by a 180 will do that as everything was done 12hrs opposite of normal for that span. Just getting to that point was fun but afterwards it's seemed like each cycle conflicts with each other and can't get back into a "normal" routine. Doesn't help the clocks swapped over so it's nice and dark a hour earlier and oh yeah weather starts to take a dump.
Oh well december is right around the corner with a new year 38 days give or take a few out now. So think I'll just veg out the rest of november and get going again on the 1st of the month.

On the other hand had a few bright spots during the month.

Amusing to say the least, Lucky me.

Little aside which I didn't think I'd post about it. But since I find it amusing I figured eh why not?
I usually do a scan/search depending on a viewpoint everyday for something. Yesterday was the first time in probably oh 5-6 months that I didn't. Well let me backtrack to say I have two searches, so if anything pops on the time based first I'll do the secondary one for a deeper result. I don't go through every single one since 95% of the time it's just bot induced spam words for craplinks to virii/malware sites so I can spot the legit from the bogus ones.
Anyways wanna take a bet as to what I'm going to say next? If you answered what I search for popped up yesterday after I did the first one with no returns well your right.
Guess it's like the old saying a watched pot never boils.

Oh well lucky me.

Why is it...... Q&A time

Q&A time

1. Why is it when I make a smoothie with the same mixture of ingredients as I'd order from a shop it never tastes the same?


2. Why is it I can remember the day of the week when I did something yet come the next year I miss it since I mixed up the dates for them?


3. Why is it I get tagged for jury duty on a month when I had things taken care of to set aside some me-time for once?


4. Why is it so hard to find a decent flip case for a Apple touch/phone to keep the screen covered?


5. Why is it Apple didn't design a flip cover onto it in the first place?


6. Why is it I drive better with a migraine than people "multitasking" in their car?


7. Why is it the editor here complains about code markup when it's supposed to be supported?


8. Why is it my hiking shoes survive going over rocks, sand, and other assorted ground clutter, yet they rip apart when I run for just a quarter mile after not wearing them for 2 months?


9. Why is it I'll design (model, paint, adjust etc)something, let it sit then come back to it and not have a clue how I did it in the first place?

Answers:

1. Same reason I'll load up on 2 cameras and go out yet won't take any pictures, just no reason.


2. Time's fluid


3. Because the universe likes to go "mmmmmmm no not yet"


4. It's the redheaded stepchild product that they threw together from stripped down components?


5. Because they'd rather design the nano to look like a roll of flattened toilet paper roll instead.


6. Too many flight sims in my youth? Moving in x/y is easy instead of x/y/z and knowing about apex driving?


7. Bad coding since this is just a evolved forum profile script?


8. Well sure probably prior stress put on them. But really doing something that simple?


9. Out with the old in with the new? Why try to recreate something just let that prior one be unique?
