The More the Merrier

Even back then I was so photogenic....

Yet another person has joined the Cameronomishpere!  In case you're wondering, that's her in the photo wearing my coat.  I swear, more women wore that coat that fall than I think I ever did in my my whole life.  For the record that photo was taken just a little over forever ago, as you can tell by the fact I still wasn't big enough for my shirt.  

Guinness Book of World Records

I don't want Fop, I want Dapper Dan!!!  I'm a Dapper Dan man!

T'was a record-setting day today.  Not anything that would actually be noticed by Guinness, but I am drinking a Guinness at the moment.  And while they're not world records, they are personal records for me, and I live in the world, and so...you know....  And as far as the book goes, well, yeah.  That's a lie.

Anyway, let's get to it!

The Cameronomicon (Audio Equivalent)

And yet, Paul likes it

Oh yeah.   Just found this.  Too great to not share.  Originally found it at failblog.org.  I remember when I was making theme music for the site, and now I see I was off.

WAY off.

Good Noise, Everyone!

Paul seems to approve....

As there's nothing interesting and/or exciting going on around here, I've got to dig into the kinda interesting bits that have happened in the recent past.

Yep, That's How I Roll

Yep.

Well, it was only a matter of time.

This ad is totally about me.

The M@ Abides

Dig the classic Olan Mills backdrop!

Ok all of you Cameronomicabalists out there, it's time for more blog pimpage!  Brought to you direct by The Great Magnet itself, the latest addition to what I like to think of as the Cameronoshpere: TheM@ Abides, the new blog started by our good friend TheMatt.  He's recently dropped everything but his cat and headed off to live in Seattle, and he's being kind enough to share the adventures with us.  Thus far they've been very entertaining.  So go check it out, follow if you like, and check back often.  Granted, it may be different that what you're used to here on the Cameronomicon, what with the complete and total lack of potato rake references, but I'm sure you're all kind and wise enough to see past that and enjoy TheM@ Abides upon its own merits.  You may also notice that I've added this blog to my "Blogs of Interest" in the sidebar on the right.  This'll let you know when he's added a new post.

Graçias, Cameronmigos.

That is all.

2nd Place

Way cooler than the ones I used to get on Field Day

(5)
Here it is, a cool yet non-rainy evening (yes!), I've got a beer nearby (Yes!) and I'm lounging in my hammock on the back porch (YES!!!)  The dogs are quietly keeping me company out here, which is nice.  I can tell that Lucy is really wanting to bark at something (she's in that "ready to bark" stance that she's got) but can find nothing to bark at, so she's staring intently at the garden in hopes that the stray black cat that has taken up residence there will show itself and provide a reasonable source of agitation and excitement.  Dagny has her front paws hanging off of the porch, is staring contently towards the lava floes to the south, and is quietly wondering if I'm going to feed her anytime soon (which I am).  In short, things are great.  Or at least would be, if it weren't for all of the blood.

As I have nothing interesting to talk about, here are a few items that are good, but not substantial enough to make a whole blog post:

Two Reasons to Love This Town (as a guy)

They're in there somewhere.....

Hilo is an interesting town.  There's no getting around it¹.  Not only is it the rainiest city in the US², but it also features many other interesting items, such as:

• a sundial (interesting choice, because as it's the rainiest city, it's more often than not cloudy, which therefore means that no one knows what time it is - I have a photo, but who wants to see a photo of a non-functional sundial?)
• a clock (also interesting, as it's also broken and stands perpetually at 1:04 because that's when the 1960 tsunami hit....  We've got a problem keeping time here, it seems)

No one wants to see a broken sundial.

But everyone digs a broken clock.

At least it's right once in a while, yeah?

• It's home to Merrie Monarch, the International Hula Festival, which is unassailably cool.
• And lots of other things I'm sure I'll get around to telling you all about sometime, if I haven't told you about them already.

Now some of you might remember the tedious and long-winded explanation of not only ONE but TWO sets of Hilo Characters.

It's at this point I feel the need to tell you about a couple more.

The Mother of all Sum-Ups

Holy crap, it's been a month since I posted.  Ugh. *sigh* *chugs beer* *burp* *sighs again*  (I remember Leffe) *deep sigh*

Really though, to all of the faithful Cameronomiconistas Cameronomichronologists Cameronomists Cameronauts¹ readers out there, I'd like to apologize.  I should not have taken this long to write again.  But I realized this morning while driving back from town (with several buckets of slop rolling around in the back and my trusty potato rake riding shotgun) that the sheer bulk of what I'd like to write about is so intimidating that I just can't write about it.  I can't.  It's too much.  It'd be a book, and at this point, it would be a bad one that no one would read (except maybe those WonderBrains who green lit the Magic 8-ball movie... *sigh* *chugs another beer*). So instead, so I can get on with my normal evenings again, and can start writing about things that are happening now instead of in some inexact "then", I'm going to totally rock you with a sum-up.

ROCK! *throws adding machine in the creek*

(FYI: It's still going to be way to crazy long)
