So who would have thought a little tape could do so much. It may be that the tape is helping some, but hurting in others. The heel pain (which is the worst of this) is minimal, it just hurts a little when starting to walk. It goes away in a few seconds it seems. But both of my feet now ache in new and different places.

My new bulleted list for the day: Why get the arch of your foot fixed?
* You would make a misseralbe cripple
* What fun is it having your kids chase you if you have to stop every 5 seconds to say “OW
OW ouch oooh OW”
* Got to do the whole STOOPID 50 miles for that MS walk.
* Need to be able to walk right at the ninja convention otherwise they swarm you, ninja’s
can sense a gimp.

If any of you out there watch MYTHBUSTERS, I hope you got the chance to see the special Ninja extravaganza they put on.
The group they show is from the Bujinkan, which was the organization out dojo loosely associated with. Our group differed from most in that we actually trained. It appeared to me that other groups just wanted to get there picture taken at seminars. Ah they are trying to be as Japanese as they can get. Ask them if they learned any good techniques or worked on a problem, they will say “I guess but want to see the picture of me with Hatsumi?” then they will go run to the chat rooms an talk about training. If we are ever assaulted in the internet chat rooms, we will be ready!

The ASK A NINJA ninja did a little visit to the Mythbusters for their Ninja show.

I got a follow up from the ASK A NINJA ninja after his visit to the mythbusters.

Following up on our visit with the MythBusters, The Ninja gets to the bottom of the question, Is Jamie A Robot?

This is a Scooby Doo-tastic Music Video Extravaganza!

The Ninja explores the Mythbusters Shop and gathers evidence to prove what is totally obvious, Jamie is a cybernetic organism bent on world domination.

Peace and Ninja grease

It has been a bit since I posted so I will summarize in a nice neat bulleted list:
* Kids did great in school, school’s out for summer
* TV station continues to fall apart, even the county council is taking notice.
* Built a theater set for ‘Mornings at 7′ called in at the last second cause no one else
would
* Lived through another birthday
* Feet still hurt.

I wanted to play with embedding video into the blog, and what better one then the most reliably funny news report on the net.

Now on to more important stuff. My bot Garrett is quite the story teller. I have a new one he wrote that may give you some insight to the day to day life with the incarnation of Stream of Consciousness.

Garrett’s Mom and Kero’s Mom
by Garrett (as typed by his mom)

A Kero Story

Once upon a time, Kero flew in the air with Garrett. Kero’s Mom said, “I
love Garrett.” And then, suddenly R-10 stepped in the garden! Then R2D2
and C3PO came to the house where Kero lived and Garrett lived. Then C3PO
said, “Hello Garrett!” But then Garrett smiled at C3PO. C3PO was silver.
And Garrett’s Mommy knew that Kero’s Mommy was Garrett’s cousin. Then
R2D2 whistled out “Eeem errm eeem, boop beep.” Then, Kero’s Mom said that
Garrett’s Mom had the same eye color and it was green, so C3PO knew that
his was just not the same, he just had silver eyes. The end.

School is out. We will be trying to keep the kids from becoming stir crazy. Its unlikely for the next month because their life is one big trip to the grandparents (and a week at saftey camp for Sam).

My foot is hurting a fair bit, but I am going to train enough to do the damn 50 miles for the MS challenge walk. What the hell. I was crippled after the last one I should not break a solid record. Went to the Podiatrist today and he taped my feet up. Now I sort of feel like a teenage Chinese girl. He said to pay attention to how my foot feels with the tape on. Oh thats simple…IT HURTS!

Been building the set for “Never the Sinner” down at Silver Spring Stage. Once I get this set done I can of course rest my feet . Its been a fun set to build but with standing hurting, and life’s general calls I want it done. I think I am going to call it quits on building for a good long time. Too much going on with Martial arts and getting back into shape and NOT being crippled to put time in on this anymore. So Leta… tell all those folks that when my name comes up that I am going to say NO.

Stacey is on vacation this week EXCEPT she has to work a Richard Thompson concert….
let me make sure this sinks in for everyone. Her Vacation is being interupted so she can work recording a RICHARD THOMPSON CONCERT! That is not an interuption…it is a bonus! Thats like saying takes some time off but we will send you to say ..um…Hawaii! for work!…

Wait they did that too.

Gak.

My company did let me go to Boston for a week. Before that the only place they sent me was exciting Gaithersburg MD (8.5 miles from home). WOOT!

Well got to go do what NCI pays me for…taped feet and all.

Peace and foot binding grease.
