Swift Life

Published by Booyor under Haiku

SLR
Was $150 earlier today

The Haiku
Like grass on the wind
are our swift lives and the cost
of technology

Composite Bows

Published by Booyor under Haiku

The Haiku
I inspire reading
and a necessity for
composite long bows

(This puts it into context.)

Double Dragon for the Wii

Published by Booyor under Cool Stuff, Wii

Atari 7800
“Quit ____’in around” - My Grandpa, circa 1987~1989
Finally, Slade, it has arrived. Double Dragon for the Virtual Console. But the NES version had no co-op. (So, I guess it’s more of a “Single Dragon”. But who will wear the red jeans?)

I remember this now, that our Atari 7800 version of the game lacked the NES graphics but made up for it in better gameplay. Cruel irony.

Now to wait for Double Dragon II. Double Illusions, hair grabs, nuclear war in 19XX and multiple cyclone kicks to the Abobo.

Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground

Published by Booyor under Haiku, The Story

This is what I had been thinking about before server loopiness, but now in Haiku form:

The Haikus(s)
Amnon and Tamar
Leaves a desolate woman
And two years revenge

Absalom then flees
And a king can’t see his son
Joab helps his friend

Field as signal fire
A son’s fake humility
Father and son chase

“Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again.” 2 Samuel 14:14
Caught my attention when thinking about relating to family.

Homework Help

Published by Booyor under Uncategorized

Taking over the bloggh to help Misha with her state report. Just got the phone call. Librarian emergency.

You’re going to have to do the reading, but here’s some help sifting through the junk to find the good information:

Nevada Timeline
State history from theus50.com
Nevada Historical People
Before the Civil War - with the Comstock Lode and all that
Historical Maps and Pictures - in case you need visuals

Use more than one source and cite where you got them from. NoodleTools has a great MLA citation program for your Works Cited/Bibliography.

Weird

Published by Booyor under Admin-type Stuff

So it looks like the database is working and whatever was going on with the server is resolved. (Yesterday I tried at different times to FTP to the site and got timed out. Not a good scenario to upgrade in.)

To put it into context, I had these ideas in my head that I just had to get written down.

“Write Post - Title - Oh, hey! 2.5.1? Sure, it’ll be a quick drag and drop of files.”

Well, praise the Lord it works now. It seems like all of the archives (heh…Booyoglor) are intact and the theme got saved (even though I went on a massive deleting spree, I kept getting an error on the wp-content folder. Against my will it saved all of my modded files).

It’s funny when you feel like part of you is missing. Funny in the sense that Ryan from The Office was twitchy at the club and I related. (And my goodness, Toby jumping over the fence and moving to Costa Rica. That’s comedy.)

I’m glad it worked. I don’t know where I would let people know about important things, like Carrier and Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People - Episode 1.

(Just remember - I owe y’all three haikus today. Hold me to that.)

Published by Booyor under Admin-type Stuff

Anyone else having trouble with WordPress 2.5.1? This has been the goofiest install ever. And if this actually posts, I will be impressed.

As a reference point, here’s what I listen to to get in a remodeling mood.

Letterbox of just my eyes: “I hate mildew.”
