some sort of apartment-type encased light... usually I do really well with those lightbulbs that are designed to bring out the 'true colors' and shit... but I can't seem to get INTO my lighting fixture to change the bulb...

Just as well.. I think that the shade, or whatever it's called on ceiling fixtures, would sort of do it in anyway... it's opaque and kind of whitish..

good god. I'm babbling. I'll just call my naturopathy. Sheesh, I'm lazy!

try a halogen floor lamp and fuck the overhead shit.
not sayin' it'll fix everything, but it might help...

say, how do you know if you're seeing the 'true colours' or not?

If nothing else you should be able to find lightbulbs for lizards that are full spectrum. You might also try beading supply places, they use that for matching colors, ect. And other arty type places might as well. Not sure on price right off, let me look around.

That woman said to me, in all seriousness as far as I could tell, "I want to catch one of those (referring to the obese squirrel) and throw it into a club. Do you think one this fat would be easy to catch?"

"Oh yeah." I said "Then just dip it in paint and throw it in."

This was, apparently, no weirder than anything else she'd thought of that day...

does this shit happen to you a lot Lydia?
because you and i each have 2 strikes for the interesting conversations yesterday.. can't decide who should take the blame.

Lydia Love · Post by **Lydia Love** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 3:32 pm

Oh my yes.

If I leave the house chances are pretty good I'm going to get into a weird conversation.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 3:32 pm

Here's one for less than $20

Poking around, it seems like the bulbs are possibly reasonable (although I may be looking at better than normal, yet not full theraputic) and the lamps are very dear. I might try a $20 bulb to see if it works--depending on economics, etx

Sandwichman · Post by **Sandwichman** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 4:55 pm

Damn took me an hour just to catch up in here.

Seattle fucking rocked. I was so happy to walk in the door of the coffee shop and see the smiling faces in front of me. It really made my month. Then later being in the middle of a GE and Rian sandwich made this sammich toasty. And of course Mr Sensei you fucking rock like there is no tomorrow. Happy birthday. I was so anxious to finish playing to be able to hangout with all of you. From what it sounds like we will be back again in the future to play again. And of course seeing Lydia was a wonderful experience and every time we meet I am always happy to talk with you more and more. In some ways I wish I lived in that area because you all are the type of people I wish I could surround myself with daily. Any time any of you wants to make the trek to Portland please let me know and I will be glad to offer sleeping space and my company. My past months have been a bit crazy and my mind not quite right and with nights like lastnight I can smile and see sanity in my world. I offer my virtual hugs to each of you who made me smile lastnight.

Jason
