:
One Iraqi marked Saddam's birthday face down in the dust at a checkpoint with his hands cuffed behind his back and his suitcase - stuffed with dollar bills - on the ground behind the open boot of his BMW car. In stark contrast, joyous crowds in Baghdad showed their scorn for Saddam, mocking his birthday by dressing up a monkey as the fallen strongman and giving him a cake made of excrement.

Myk Murphy:
that sounds like a good dinner. i'm drinking wine from a box. guilty pleasure. i should clarify: wine that was drawn from a box. drinking from the box is considered gauche.

Heruka:
Hello. Some of the marina are beginnignn to offer wi-fi for the boaters. Sounds nice, but still a bit slow I think.

Warm, evening. Yes. Lovely.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 9:52:00 pm)

Myk Murphy:
slow? nah, not if the main connection at the marina is cable or adsl. how many boaters could be surfing at the same time?
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 9:55:51 pm)

Myk Murphy:
it's perfect outside, and remarkably still. quite still. and somewhere around me, the cats are stalking and skulking. furry lunatics.

Chewing Wax:
It's all sorts or Spring here. Daffodils. Trees are flowering. The smell of fresh mown grass. Sweet perfection. And grilled steak. That sounds cool Myk. Wireless and boxed wine.

Myk Murphy:
how's the job thing, waxboy?
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:11:01 pm)

Chewing Wax:
It's great actually. I offically took over as the manager of the department today. Off the rolls of the unemployed. So far it's been fun and interesting.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:12:11 pm)

Myk Murphy:
yeah, the wireless thing is kinda funny. it messes with my preconceptions on when and where i do things.

Chewing Wax:
And just for kicks I've been wearing a jacket and tie every day. A far cry from the jeans and sweatshirt of my last job.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:13:07 pm)

Myk Murphy:
wow, a quick promotion! will this keep you busy or will you still have ample lounge time?
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:13:31 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I have to get a DSL hub to put the PlayStation onto the internet to get EverQuest. And a new computer I think.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:14:11 pm)

Myk Murphy:
damn, a jacket and tie! for my latest gig, i don't have to wear ties. a nice change from the suit scene.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:14:28 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I think once I get the hang of the pace of things, I'll be able to be on the lounge again. I have to move my monitor so that the other two in my office can't see what I'm doing though.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:15:01 pm)

Myk Murphy:
dude, stay away from that everquest. "never rest" they call it. evil thing. a guy who was kind of in our band (a few years ago) dropped out from society cuz of that damn game.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:15:37 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Heh. Anne is addicted.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:16:02 pm)

Myk Murphy:
yes, proper monitor placement is key.

Chewing Wax:
What's your e-mail Myk. I'll send you a picture of Blue in front of the house we stayed at in the outer banks.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:16:59 pm)

Myk Murphy:
yeah, you mentioned that she's into that sort of craziness.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:17:05 pm)

Chewing Wax:
It's a big picture if that's okay.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:17:17 pm)

Myk Murphy:
sweet. mykmurphy@yahoo.com will do.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:17:37 pm)

Myk Murphy:
sure. send it.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:17:50 pm)

Myk Murphy:
if it's good enough, i'll make it my laptop desktop pic.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:18:18 pm)

Myk Murphy:
oddly enough, that last sentence actually made sense.
(Mon Apr 28, 2003 - 10:18:38 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Heh. It's into the ether
