Ionic....
"Isn't it Ionic..."
hehe, no not that song, I mean the easiest way to feel better and breathe easier!
OK, a little background. So, once upon a time, my girlfriend and I were mall strolling, and we happened upon a "Sharper Image" store. She had been wanting the "Ionic Breeze" air purifier they offer, so we went inside to have a look-see. Well, it is a nice unit, and the theory behind it is proven and based on solid scientific research. But man is it pricey, they want 350 dollars per unit, and it can only handle one large room. She has wanted one for awhile. I thought it was really cool and wanted one now as well. I remember when (-) ion gennies were the rage back in the day, before the phrase "new age" was even coined by those Madison Ave. types...
Alright, fast forward about 6 months now. Bored and surfing the web the other night and I decided to do a little research on that Ionic Breeze thingamajig. I end up discovering there are way better designed units out there for much less $. Large commercial units aside, I found one in particular I really liked, the "NeoTec XJ2000" model is impressive indeed. And compact, sits on a shelf like a clock radio, freeing up precious floor space, and also operating more effectively as a result of being elevated.
Now I'm thinking, maybe someone has a better deal on these things, the one site I found had them for around $130 each, still kinda pricey if you want multiple units. The idea is to have one in each room you spend a great deal of time in. For me that would be Computer room, Bedroom, and Kitchen, probably in that order too. So I surf around some more and found this site-
http://www.neotecairpurifiers.com/
Now, being that I owe my girlfriend a christmas/birthday present, I thought, let me order two, one for each of us to test out. They also have a portable car unit for only ten bucks, I couldnt resist and picked one of those up also.
Well, I have nothing but good things to say about the guy Serge who handled my order. I'm not sure if he runs the site or just works for them, but the service was first class ! I mean, I placed my order around 11 at night, and do you know I received a handwritten reply in less then 10 minutes confirming my order and stating he would ship the units the next day...
Two days later (last night), I received one of them along with the portable unit. I plugged it in and within an hour noticed a big change in the air quality of my room. Also noticed the air had that "feel" to it I only get in places that are charged with (-) ions, either naturally or artificially, and I like that feel, it has an almost calming effect on my mind. Which, if you know me, is no small task!
My recommendation to everyone, do a little research on negative ion generators so you have an informed opinion. And if you are at all concerned about the the air quality in your living space, and the consequences to your health, then I recommend purchasing one and giving it a try.
Just thought you might be interested. Y'all be well...

busy
OK
Gee-O wanted to know why I haven't posted any rants lately...
You really wanna know ? I'll tell ya'
My girlfriend is back in my life, after a short leave of absence and we've just been busy making up for lost time, if'n you know what I mean.
But I haven't forgotten about my loyal readership, of, well prolly only a few people! Tomorrow night Todd is coming over and we are sanding the tape job in the cottage. If we're lucky we may only need to touch up a few spots, and I'll be priming it soon! A little behind schedule, but as much as I detest taping sheet rock, it's a miracle it's gotten done this fast. I had a spare bedroom upstairs gutted and sheet rocked and it stayed untaped for almost 10 months... So relatively speaking I'm doing great on this job!
And work is crazy as ever. I have two new projects thrown at me, need to be completed in less then three weeks. And in my mind, they really should be done by the coder, not the systems types, but lthe powers that be don't agree in that respect. So I have two new things to become incredibly knowledgable and proficient at in no time at all, and oh yeah, of course I am totally unfamiliar with them. Anyone know how to build a "pkg" for Solaris? With an interactive install menu on top of the standard one, of course... Unix Sysadmin, just another name for masochist ? At times I am sure of it...
Oh yeah, you ever notice how your cats will do someting incredibly cute, like both stand on their hind legs and playfully box each other- but exactly 30 seconds after you put your camera away... Like they know, they'll make you smile, but you can't capture it for eternity.
OK, I'm going upstairs to read and then crash, tired, today was my day off and I spent it relaxing in bed, so why not continue the trend here at home, right?
Y'all have a good one and I'll spew some more soon, promise!

Eats-
Just got in a short while ago. Cooking some dinner - nabeyaki udon I guess, really every time I make udon it comes out never the same. Just throw in whatever I have around.
Boil a pot of water, add some dashi, some japanese soy sauce, a couple packets of that soup seasoning in the brightly colored plastic wrapper. Then add sme shitake 'shrooms, some yard long beans (they must have a real name) and let it cook. Season to taste and let it cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Then add some naruto sliced at an angle and some ito-wakame seaweed and a couple scallions sliced up. Cook another 5 minutes, add the udon noodles and cook until they are done (depends on frozen or fresh noodles). Then ladle into a big bowl, and garnish with some scallion, bamboo shots if you like, and maybe a tiny splash of sesame oil for a change.
Steam up a big bowl of edamame and have some rice with furakake sprinkled on top, and feel free to dose the udon with shachimi if you like a little heat.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, for clear broth you leave it like that, if you don't mind cloudiness, you can add a little shiro miso to the stock, adds a nice flavor.
So what are we making tomorrow? I'm open to suggestions of course-
Only takes a half hour and it's good eating. Getting hungry smelling it actually.
So let me stop talking and finish cooking.

Hey, anyone remember Urban Desires ?
Yeah, UD was kinda fun, back when people thought e-zines were gonna be the best thing since sliced whatever. But I will admit I still read salon on a regular basis, nerve and the others all get played as they try a little too hard to be hip/trendy, but salon has good writers.
Anyway, here's the link for the UD Archive and yes, I'm working, leave me alone!

And I vent. And I ponder. And I go off on tangents not based in reality all the time (I do?). Mostly I need to read myself think, like I've said before. Maybe I need to get out more, eh?
And yeah, it doesn't take an Einstein to know this post is aimed at you g, and no, not you gee-o. You know how I felt or feel when I was honest enough and felt safe enough to share it, so if I rant or rave here, it may be just me working through shit. Or then again it may just be shit.

Aaaaagggghhhhh, that's it. I am not thinking any more. Period.
And I have a bridge for sale if you're interested, nice view of Manhattan.

One more quickie-
I changed the config on the server so "comments" should work 100% of the time now, rather then being hit or miss as in the past. But in reality nobody will use it, you'll continue to just send them to me via email, right?
Really, say whatever you want, flames or trolls, might just liven it up a little. Maybe flames AND trolls would do the trick, yes, methinks that would get me going!
Anyone see "25th Hour" yet ? Like Ed Norton's work, so maybe it's worth a couple hours of my time...

4 ingredients-
Morning, kinda busy here but just remembered, I got a cool cookbook at B&N last night. 4-ingredient cooking. A bunch of recipes that sound good, and each takes, yes, you guessed it, just 4 ingredients!
I know, in this day and age, I still buy paper cookbooks. Even though I get most recipes off the net, and even though the recipe is just a starting point, not like I ever stick to the plan. Hmmm, are we talking about cooking here or more profound things? Either way, work is calling. I'll add more drivel later!
But real quick, what about strangers who feel the need to say "cold enough for you?" when it's in the teens outside. Does that even warrant a reply? Like, no, I like it below zero, so my breath instantly freezes the cilia in my nose when I exhale. Jeeez. Yes, it is winter in NY, it gets cold, dress accordingly.
Hey, it's daytime out, light enough for ya' ??

Tired (again)
Man I'm tired (again)
Up waaaay too late last night and then busy today. Had lunch at Wasabi with Lissa, then met my friend Bill to go look at a job I took down in that neck of the woods. Stopped by the office for an hour to check a few things (yes, on my day off, yes I am pathetic thank you).
Then I had a few hours to kill and no clue what to do. No sense driving back home, to then have to head south in the evening. So, I was IM'ing with Maggie and asked her if she wanted to do sumthin'
She was bored too and said YES. Yeah, if you've been reading this thing, then you know I hung out with her a lot around the holidays. Well spending time with her tonight reminded me why again. She is a really good kid. And I'm really proud of her. She's a great student, well adjusted, has a great outlook, and really a joy to spend time with. Can she really be my daughter? And she has a great sense of humor, sardonic/witty/insightful without being negative or seeming contrived at all. Hmmm, well I always did say she was " `whatever age she is now`- going on 40"!
So we went to B&N over on central and checked out all the clearance books and then went to the asian market so I could do some grocery shopping. Got mass quantities of edamame, udon noodles, yard long beans, the ususal stuff. And I always get a ton of candy and cookie type stuff and drop it off at the little kids. I know, not good for them, but they have all this cool hello kitty candy and stuff you don't see in regular markets. And I could get hooked on the melon flavored YoGlo, it's killer good shit, not too sweet, a little touch of bitterness to it. A nice change, I don't drink soda so I'm always up for a new soft drink to try. And we went by Julio's and I got the Jeep washed. It was so covered with mud (that thick construction site mud that my whole yard and driveway have been comprised of since I started all the renovations here) and salt and road grime I couldn't see anything in the mirrors even with the windows rolled down. So I guess it was a little overdue, huh?
Not much else exciting (as if any of that was). Went to my new Monday night thing, then came home. Checked my email and holy shit. Had one from someone I did not expect to be hearing from. Maybe just testing the waters, I dunno, maybe just saying Hi. But I have of course wondered how they are. Not gonna analyze or read anything into it. It is what it be and it be what it is, right? And oh yeah, believe it or not, some shit IS too personal and I don't put it up here, so that's about as in depth as I'm going with it here, sorry folks. Again, as if any of this shit or my day to day life is even remotely interesting to any of y'all. I just need practice typing and I like to read myself think...
K, I'm shot. 3 hours sleep last night does not a rested Steve make. Though I will say excepting this last Saturday night, I have been getting a normal amount of sleep on a regular basis. And I mean a humans normal amount of sleep, not mine. So maybe that's why I'm so beat, gotten used to getting almost 7 hours a night lately. Damn, that's a milestone in these parts. Guess that happens sooner or later when you get to my age! now that I'm old and all.
hehe, with that one, I'm outta here, need to crash.

Saw Adaptation last night. Good fsckin' movie. For a hollywood flick it was surprising. Then came home and watched a Mike Figgis film just for some perspective.
Anyway, someone was asking how come there's no pic of me anywhere to be seen around here. OK, one concession, here's a crappy pic o' moi I grabbed from my web cam. Satisfied? Of course I'm much more dashing in person... Riiiiggghhhhtttt.

N-e-way, todays my day off from the ususal 9-6 gig, so I have stuff to do, have to get going. Whaddaya think, I sit around here all day in front of a computer half-naked scratching my head and wondering what to write? Well some days I do!
So, with that, I'm outta here, have errands to do, an appointment, have to grab lunch somewhere (hmm, I wonder where?) and then tonight I have to do a regular thing and then get back here and finish the second coat of mud up in the cottage.

posted @ 10:52 AM EST [link] [Karma: 3 (+/-)]Bowlin'
Just got back from moonlight bowling. Hadn't done that in ages (or at least since the spring, so almost a year I guess). When I was PT'ing at 'Bucks we used to all go out after work once or twice a month and do it, fun and always good for some laughs. Just surprising how many teeny-boppers are out at one in the morning, hanging at the bowling alley. Guess there's not much else to do in the winter around here.
So it was like a mini-starbucks reunion. Erica and Lauren and Chris and Lisa and Jim and Paul were there and I brought my boys as weekends that I have Danny I can't very well leave him alone here with Sam. They played air hockey and bowled a game. It was a nice change from my usual come back home saturday night and work 'till one and then hang in front of this screen for another hour or so and then crash.
Did my usual saturday evening thing earlier with Todd. Damn, number ten lima bean girl was there. So I know all the shite runs me this way and that, and I just figure play it safe and leave it be. But a guy can't help but wonder. Todd's cool so I tell him I have this like, crush/attraction kinda thing. And then I can list the 3 million reasons why not to, I have a ton of baggage (or literally four, 2 boys and 2 girls) and I'm old now, right?, and so on and on and on. And I can laugh at myself and he can chuckle too and then I remember it feels good to have someone you can just talk to about anything and not feel like "oh shit, I'm fscked up" or more to the point, nice to have somoene who knows you and accepts you for your f'ed up parts as well as your kinda OK ones.
So that brings me to the other thing. Which is, I am outta the slump I have been in. At last. I'm not glowing as much as I do at times. But I have noticed that people are breaking out in spontaneous smiles around me much more often, those real big makes your whole face radiate good vibes kind of smiles. My smiles themsleves are extra contagious lately and once more I'm feeling good about the world and where I'm at in it. And I truly do believe that's attractive and makes people feel good as well. Funny how it takes so little to make people forget their troubles for a moment, just a kind look and a caring word. Which remnds me a friend of mine told me recently that I had kind eyes. Damn, I don't think anyone ever told me that before. I have been accused of having psycho eyes, looks that kill eyes, anything but kind ones. You know who you are man and thanks again...
The other thing I realized, and this is somewhat of a shock. Recently I grabbed a bite with this person. Seen them around casually same places last couple years, exchange a few words now and then, After spending about an hour with them, I come to the conclusion they're kind of immature. What ? Me thinking that? So I arrive at this, the shocking but undeniable truth. I'm a grown up.
Shit, I mean, I've had all the trappings of being a grown up before. Had a wife and an unhappy family once, still have a house and all the headaches and responsibilities that go with that. Had super stressful and taxing jobs and had all kinds of stuff that grown ups are supposed to have. But I never thought like one or considered myself one. And I still may be at times too spontaneous, not cautious enough when I should be, and of course I often find myself saying "damn, I shoulda known that wasn't the wisest choice, but it seemed like the win-win one at the time". But now I see that indeed, though I can be irresponsible, but not to excess like I had my whole life previously, I am somewhat growed up. I guess better late then never!
But the good part is I still have fun, I will always have that child like awe and excitement for the simple yet amazing things that make life a trip. I still can giggle and laugh at stupid stuff or better yet at my stupidity. And I still love to lay in a field and look up at the sky and scrunch the grass under my toes with bare feet and just close my eyes and feel alive.
And what I'd really like to do now is close my eyes and go to sleep ! So tired I'm gonna start making tons more then usual typos. So, before I make less sense then usual, I'm gonna go crash. And I'm not gonna think about number ten lima beans and then tomorrow comes and it (which of course we all know is she, not at all an it) is out of my mind and I'm cool until the next time. Aaaaggghhhh, leave it alone, right? Just say yes, leave it alone. Thank you.
K, before I talk to myself anymore, I know fo sho' it be time to sleep.
'nite all
Oh yeah, going to go see "Adaptation" tomorrow. Wanting to see that since way before it was out, glad I'm catching it while it's still playing. Oh, did I say I was gonna talk politics? Maybe tomorrow if I'm not too shot. Alright, nite for real now...

Nicotine
Welcome to weblog entry number 3,429 for the week... K, not really, but sometimes it feels that way.
What's been going on, ahh, nuthin' special. The news is I was this close, yup, that close, to quitting smoking. Have a couple boxes of them there nicotine patches, even quit for a couple days, then I modified the program a little... I was not smoking from when I awoke until I got home at night. So from maybe 6:30 or 7 I didn't smoke until usually 9 that night, it wasn't a bad idea, right ?
Then I say what the hell, why not have one or two in the morning with my coffee? Then while driving to work, then it's only a matter of saying- why not just smoke regularly? Well I did and I am.
I guess the main issue I have (hehe, with quitting that is) is am I doing it for the right reasons ? What are my motives, etc. And really, I don't think I'm coming from the right place at this moment in regards to said. And I can't help but agree with the quote I read once (and no, I'm not saying who the source was) along the lines of "the most interesting people at the dinner table are always smokers". Wow, I opened myself up for some serious negative feedback there I bet.
Damn, just started my day and my mind is fried, it's been one of those weeks at work. With that, let me get back to work. Tonight I'll be up half the night sanding and taping the second coat in the cottage, but I'll update here as I have some cool links and also want to just touch briefly on some international politics, alright?
back to work, have a good Friday-

Hey,
'Nother one gone. You're in the same places as me, you know Jimmy passed away yesterday... I wasn't really close to him, saw him around, always cracked a smile at his comments. Loved his outlook on life and his message, he was real. Kinda like a generation up from me, but all the people in his circle are dealing with it. What other choice do we have?
Shit, was on the phone last night with little Steve and we were going over all the people we've lost to "the lifestyle" to put it nicely. I guess after awhile you kinda get used to it, not numb, and it's not easier, you just accept it. There's only a few of us left from the core 15 or twenty from the old days. So we're fortunate, I need to remember that when I start thinking like it's too heavy, what I carry, at times. At least I'm alive to feel the weight, and when it passes I can soar again, free and just livin' life today, making the most of this moment and taking it all in, still in awe and excited about it, after all the lifetimes I've lived in just this one... Damn, I guess I'm real lucky, hell I could talk for days and days, the things I've done and seen, not all pretty, not all by choice, but the culmination of it all is who I am now, and I like me today, so it was definitely all worthwhile.
In any case, lest I get all caught up in it, just a few quickies bring y'all up to speed. But first- Alan, thanks man, glad I called you tonight and yeah, I know it passes, and it wasn't really that bad. And Stephen, man, I know you say I saved your life that day, maybe I did, but you've saved mine dozens of times, just with a phone call. Both of you guys, if you only knew, it's as simple as a glance sometimes, a smirk, an anecdote, or just a patient ear. K, that's that, just wanted to say thanks in black and white, or white on green, whatever it is, it is. Oh yeah, Todd, you too man. You help me more then you know, prolly my best friend in those circles these days. Glad you're back and glad I know ya'. And spring times coming, we'll be at the Beacon and hopefully Warren will be up there breakin' strings on his Gibson again!
And in case you was wondering, I'm sitting here singing along to Edie Brickell and Casey Chambers as I write this, just in a mellow mood tonight.
Alright, a few pics, work has been crazy, we re-architected all the back end systems and are testing before we roll it all out in production. Here's Henry, my boss, at the data center, looking all chill, got that secret agent thing going on. He's one of the best bosses I've ever had, I'll touch on that one of these days too. But I thrive on this kind of stuff, pressure and getting stuff working against and despite of any obstacles is what I do best. Hmm, isn't that what sysadmins live for, yeah, it is... So I haven't been up in the cottage that much, but Todd came over Sunday and we taped.
Here it is partially done, this is all the first coat. And here is the guy who's a hell of a taper and an even better friend, Todd, yeah, he and I can talk about obscure old rock and roll bands for like hours, man, you know your music! And not just saying you have good taste cuz it's usually the same as mine.
We finished the first coat, all taped and dry now. Oh yeah, I said I'd get an outside shot , that's the front view from the driveway. I know, it will get a coat of paint when it gets warmer, an automatic spotlight up above the door, and I'll have the gable vent in this weekend. And come spring some landscaping to boot. Slow but sure, it's getting there and it'll be really nice when it's done.
We've been getting snow every week and it's hanging around, here's the yard and all the snow. Yup, that's a peach truck sticker on my bumper, the brothers are spoken here, and only spoken highly of, which gets me to thinking about Lizard, is hs still around and kicking? That's another story, one day I'll show you the art he graced me with, I'll carry it with me till the day I die.
K, I'm outta here. Going to be a long day at work tomorrow, and then the wake at night will be intense. Lemme try and get a normal amount of Zzzz for a change. Oh yeah, lunch, they got a new sushi chef at my eating place, straight off the boat. They bring me a little taste of some things he whips up that aren't on the menu yet, kind of like beta testing it I guess. Very good, even the Udon today at lunch was different. The seasoning was more subtle, the flavors played more delicately against and with each other, no one taste overpowering another. Very nice. But in addition, Brian, the sushi man, left to relocate. I miss him, he was a good kid, hell of a sushi man and nice as they come. Oh well, life is about change after all. Here's the new sushi-guy.
Hmmm, I'm going to sleep, right? Right.
l8r, and case I never told you, thanks for listening (reading).

Comments...
Please feel free to leave them after a post.
I have gotten a couple emails from folks saying they felt the "what women should know" and "top ten reasons" posts were kinda negative.
Well, if you know me (not even with an uppercase K) then you know that's not the case, I mean, are we taking this just a little too seriously ? Hello? Can you chuckle or do you just crack a half smile/grin?
I guess this all goes without saying, as those who do know me did not feel the need to express that. Oh, you ask, how do you email me ? Just ask me in person I guess! Hmmm, OK, tell ya' what, you can have a new address I just got- steve@fiskfamily.org I check that one every day or so as nobody really knows about it yet.
Aiigghht, gotta go have a last cuppa and get up to the cottage and start taping sheet rock. Oh, did I ever mention I hate taping more then having my fingernail ripped slowly out by the root? Well I do, but it needs to get done...
K, have a day-

Hi Again !
Damn, I've been posting like crazy last few hours... And also managed to make a quick web page (the gargage transformation, linked under the webcam above all my entries) talk on the phone to lissa forever, and even spent a little time on CU checking the regulars out. Wrote a couple emails too. Sometimes I scare myself how fast my mind is going. Anyway, I said a while back I'd post pix of my closet when it was done. Well I never did so here they are.
Here it is rough, before any shelves or racks, just the new doors. Here's the left side, and now the right. Yeah, I have almost 30 linear feet of shelf space now, woohoo!
Like I don't have enough going on building a whole cottage apartment, I decided to gut and redo my bedroom at the same time. It's almost done, just need to paint the windows and walls, and lay some carpet. But my room has seven windows, (here are a few of them) so fixing the woodwork up and priming/painting them is going to be a project!
OK, ya wanna see more? Here's the view out my kitchen window. And here's my dining room, but there's always stuff piled on the table, so not like anyone can ever eat there... And last but not least, here's where I'm sitting right now, the computer room is prolly the most used room in the house, wow, that sounds kinda sad. But the kitchen and bedrooms aren't far behind.
Alright, I'm gonna go watch a movie and TRY and stay offa CU tonight...
G'nite-

OK Girls, Here's The Inside Scoop !
Some Things You Should Know About Guys-

* We're not horny all the time like you think we are (well some of us are).
* No matter what you say, your ex-boyfriend is an asshole.
* We like you to give us hugs and kisses sometimes too.
* Don't argue with us when we call you beautiful.
* Don't treat us like crap, what goes around comes around.
* Don't treat us like crap, what goes around comes around.

I'm Baaaack
K, I know it's been awhile...
So lemme tell ya what I've been up to, and obsessed with, K ?
Friggin' CUseeme ! Yup, I haven't played with it in years. I used to have a bit of an IRC problem too. Like up every night until 3 or 4 in the morning on some out there channels. Well seems I've got the bug again, but this time strictly for CU. And I have to recommend Doc's reflector, there are a bunch of nice folks hang out in there. Ah yes, the occasional lap cam pops in to say hello, but not as many as on other refs... Truth be told I've been trying to connect as I type this, but it's full so I can't get in. Guess it's still a little early.
Shit, only got two hours of Zzzzz this morn, need to sleep, finish tomorrow, K ?
