Night Owls only

[Diamondback]

Does a serpent slithering count?lol

Cataloging new acquisitions for my WWII miniatures collection, building thumbnail-sized model airplanes and listening to Criminal Minds. Just another All You Can Eat Spaghetti & WiFi Night at the local diner...

 

[HHISIII]

*Ahem*
And now for a brief clip of 'As my world turns'
I walk into a semi-regular bar, order a martini and begin chatting up the new and rather cute bartender. This carries on for long enough to justify martini number two and who walks in to the bar? Her fiance. She introduces him as such and her entire demeanor changes. At one point, I zoned out, she asked me if I thought her fiance looked like a movie star. I replied, 'He does look a little like Bear Grylls, but minus ALL of the testosterone'
He takes offense, swings at me and has an impromptu meeting with the wall. One more bar to which I'll not be going back anytime soon...

 

[Diamondback]

Uh, belay the CM, make that Law & Order: Criminal Intent--and another plate of spaghetti, probably my last for the night. (Especially since breakfast is scheduled to be cold Pad Thai and Arby's roast-beef sandwich...)

And trying to figure out catalog options for a microbusiness I'm looking at spinning up, and the data I need to finish and deliver those items.

*Hoot*

Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed time....

Shakespeare

Flannery O'Connor, author of A Good Man Is Hard To Find; Wise Blood; and The Violent Bear It Away
is portrayed in Lorraine Murray's biography, The Abbess of Andalusia; lifting the veil of brilliance.

A Cinderella night owl again tonite. Any other owls flyin'?

 

[HHISIII]

Yup, working on a business plan, haggling with a seller on a signed Dali litho and watching season 1 X-Files.

 

[Harp]

*Hoot*

...these holy antique hours are seen,
Without all ornament, itself and true...

Shakespeare

Writ about the year of our Lord 1522 by Sir Thomas Moore,
then knight and member of the Privy Council of King Henry VIII,
The Four Last Things: death, judgement, heaven and hell.

"Remember the last things, and you will never sin" (Sir 7:36).


Sir Thomas Moore's dialogue with conscience.
A man for all seasons who knew that a man cannot escape either Death or himself.

Lamp lit; early-bird Cinderella night owlin' tonite. Any other owls howlin'?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Quarter after eleven & I am up. Going to be up for a bit...

 

[Mr Vim]

Well, I am on night watches again, for the next few weeks, any other night-owls *hoot*ing?

 

[Diamondback]

Meat & Potatoes on Food Network, miniature ships being logged into the collection and small (1/700, a typical WWII fighter's about thumbnail size) model aircraft I'm considering going into business doing custom-builds on.

*Hoot*

Philosophers have measur'd mountains,
Fathom'd the depths of seas, of states, and kings,
Walked with a staff to heav'n, and traced fountains:
But there are two vast, spacious things,
The which to measure it doth more behove:
Yet few there are that sound them; Sin and Love.

George Herbert, The Agonie

Thomas More's The Supplication of Souls; writ by a philosopher who scaled his heart, and plumbed the depths of his soul.

A Cinderella night owl again--any other owls flyin'?

 

[HHISIII]

I'm up, for the moment. Vaguely watching MASH with BB King and Buddy Guy playing softly in the background. I need to strip and clean my P9S, just not sure if I want to take on that kind of project tonight.

HK;nice piece. Carry on the job, weapon gets the nod.

 

[HHISIII]

I love my HK. I ended up stripping/cleaning it last night, the stupid trigger guard always gives me crap, but it's gotta come off, Bore Blaster kills plastics...

 

[HHISIII]

No signs of life tonight it appears.
I've got a Tyler Perry play on the TV, Buddy Guy playing on my laptop (counting down the days til his new album comes out)and I'm doing some light research for my 2011Q1 shop opening.

 

[Derek WC]

Vaguely watching MASH...

How interesting. I was just experimenting with my mom's clarinet and played the theme song for M*A*S*H.

 

[HHISIII]

I played Clarinet in school. I wasn't half bad, but my interests were distracted by other things and I drifted.
I do have a nasty habit of whistling that song when people feel the need to whine incessantly around me though. Very few catch on...

 

[Diamondback]

Still rebuilding my Subscribed Threads folder--been working it near-nonstop since Friday night; eight more pages and I'll be caught up to February '08, all that'll be left to resubscribe is that first year. (Holy Crap I got old fast--has it really been that long already?)

 

[Harp]

Ripe men of martyrdom, that could reach down
With strong arms their triumphant crown:
Such as could with lusty breath
Speak loud, unto the face of death.

Richard Crashaw, A Hymn to the Name and Honour of the Admirable Saint Teresa

Thomas More's A Dialogue on Conscience
A prisoner's last epistle.


early Cinderella Night Owl howlin'. Any other owls flyin' tonite?

 

[HHISIII]

I'm up, he sees me, I'm down. (no freakin idea why that popped in my head just now)
In all seriousness, I'm up. Just piddling around, switching feathers/pins in hats and I'll probably steam a few shirts out as well.

 

[Diamondback]

Oh, nothin' personal, Harp, but I'd trust my cocked-and-locked "loose-fitting rattletrap" GI-style M1911A1 over a European sissypistol every time. Forward from a gunboard forthcoming via PM, bro.
