Scotto's Wall Scrawls

The interview went well, though the tech part was reduced to a test rather than a human talk – the tech guy was out sick. I hope to hear form them soon how things went for them.
After that, we went to cheeburger cheeburger, where BHK had a gingerbread shake, and I had my standard chocolate cherry. Chris N. Had his second epidural, and is dealing with it ok… I won the gaming trophy again – Jungle Speed as the Lion, baby! (BHK does Monkey, Chris does Alligator, and Amanda as the Lemur.)

This morning, We all made a dunkin’ donuts run and then saw Adam off to school. Got more than our share of “DD car / firdge magnets” – I may do some crafts with them later.

Adjusted Newtcam for a bigger pic – 640 x 480 now, rather than half that. . Just looked at the cam- I’m reflected in the window.

Interview for a system administrator gig tomorrow – If it goes well, I’ll get some good clearance as well as a good job. We’ll see. In any event, since it’s a government gig I shaved off the beard and ‘stache.

A little bit rainy today… best time to do my work research.

Well, it's a little over a year since Obama has taken office.

I haven't looked for a while, but I looked at the Obameter just to see where he stands. Off the 500 promises being tracked.... see below.

Promise Kept 54
Compromise 14
Promise Broken 7
Stalled 17
In the Works 149
Not yet rated 274

Two of my touchpoints, the use of torture and closing guantanamo are both listed as "in the works", more detail at the links.

far too many pictures from yesterday's walkabout - lots of fun with Larry, Chris, and BHK on a lovely autumn hike. Did a bit of geocaching, too - dropped off the meagan and paris bugs.

We also met Aaron Greene at the Cypress Swamp... he's a very talented photographer!

Growing my beard out again.... time for the "hunt for red october" look to keep my face protected from the elements that are coming. Oddly, Kathleen took today to do a mr potato head of my current beardo icon... serendipity?

Adam came over to visit last night. and we played a bit of dokopon before he was off to his church group meeting. No sign of andrew... he was going to come over for dinner, but double booked.

BHK and I continued playing a bit after Adam left and got some Papa John's pizza, because it was too windy, cold and rainy to go out to the grocery store or the chinese place.

Today was mostly spent looking for work, watching tv, and shooting skags in borderlands. I did take a brief launch outside with neighbor Chris to swap his car for a loaner while the window got fixed.... BHK made some amazing ravioli and pink sauce for supper... full after one bowl, with plenty for tomorrow's lunch and then some.

We finished watching Journeyman - it left on a high note, and I supect that it was cancelled just in time... our dvr is slowly draining of saved shows from 2007.

Thank you, Thank you to everyone in the military, past and present devoted to protecting us.

In honor of Veterans day, I post a picture of me as G.I Joe, fighting an evil yeti.

It isn't all commies, nazis and terrorists, you know!

Disclaimer, that isn't really me... I was just told that it looked like me, by David. I hope he was referring to the Joe, not the Yeti. :)

Mostly just working today - looking for a paying gig, reformatting Chris's computer, a last ditch effort to reconstruct it. BHK is working on her projects upstairs, too. I have the added benefit of listening to the Craig Ferguson Audiobook - his voice is strangely calm, and I get a vibe of Shrek doing the reading, rather than that puppet guy on the tube.

Tonight, we're doing quiche and asaragus - perfect for tonight's meal.

Got our first check form our renters in florida deposited... I guess it's official, now --we have renters. Just in time, too. It was getting pretty tight there for a moment.

I still can't get over how it's dark by 5:30 at night here.... Florida isn't that far, latitude wise, is it? I suppose it is, given the change in weather, as well as the sunlight.

1 year ago - more about PT, TV, and some yummy cabbage soup!

9976 - too much tv.

2009-11-09T16:36:18Z

Making a change in the house - switching off cable television. (well, actually, DirecTV)

We decided a while back that we watch way too much tv... then, when the dvr broke, and DirecTV gave us shoddy customer service, that clinched it. They promised us a new box and instead they wanted to charge us more for a refurbished model than give us our replacement for free, like they said that they would.

Looking at the shows that either BHK or I record, we figured it was a good thing to just cancel our service, and get what we want via netflix or online.

Here's what we had on the save list to follow and/or catch up on. It may be a bit obvious which I lean towards, and which are BHK's.

Hint, BHK's are in italics, mine are in bold. Both... are both.

2009-11-08T22:28:10Z

William, Bryce, Dominic, Dalton, (and Donnie , but he was outside, and didn't come in) came over for a surprise visit and afternoon of Wii gaming. It seems that Bryce and William's own Wii was broken, and so they figured they'd swing by our place for some goofing around and general fun.

Bryce was the rare talent today - creamed us at Wii bowling and barely lost mario party 8.... not to mention being a surprise champ at Hey, That's my fish, and Labyrinth.

It was a pleasant, though chaotic visit... the kids were all very well mannered. They all just piled out of the house to go home to dinner.

(Damien wasn't here tonight, but he did check out haunted.scottobear.com for the Callis Haunted Adventure earlier this week.

In other gaming news, I won mario party 8 and blokus at the Nailles on Friday night -- the trophy is ours once more!
