scottobear

Back to the library today - only noon to five though, given the Saturday hours.

BHK put in a lot more steam than me - I toook a break midday for a stretch and a walk - picked up a flash drive to put sugar on a stick . Now we're home, and I'm taking another break.

One of these question things - Haven't done one in a bit.

Pictures from today - BHK taking a roughhouse with Newton Break, and I take a walk to stretch out my back and see baby ducks.

Mostly an at home day today. Worked on the garden, cleaning up, and work search. Thanks to Sean, I discovered sugar on a stick, which I'll install to the first cheap flash drive I find. Looks like cute fun!

I was doing research on gigs, and BHK studying. 11-6:30 today, where the internet connection is reliable, and less distractions.

grabbed a bagel at panera for lunch break

researched a bit more and then we watched a guy doing a presentation on shadow puppets... a lot of fun!

Dinner at Ruby Tuesday - strike two after the first home run. We may be back, though, since our new Neighbor Philmena said that they have great mojitos.

Lyrics to current music - just came over pandora - I'd never heard it before on my channel -

You've heard of Ali-Baba
Forty thieves had he
Out for what we all want
Lots of LSD

He also had a camel
Stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel
And the camel loved him too
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali-Baba's camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to the camel had to go
Some say he's in heaven, but this I know is true
Wherever you think Ali's gone, his camel's gone there too

Crossing the equator, ooo, how hot is was
Poor old Ali-Baba cursed and swore because
He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows
It's horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes.
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali Baba's camel turned 'round and licked his hand
He said, oh Ali-Baba, I surely understand
We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow
But hark, I hear the temple bells, they'll all be open now.
(Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it... aaahh)

They entered for the races and the desert sports
There goes Ali's camel in his filthy cotton shorts
The starter cracked his pistol off the camels hared
Ali-Baba's camel wins by half a camel's hair
(Hey, Ali-Baba! Hey, Ali-Baba! Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!)

Ali-Baba's camel had run for miles and miles
His tail was pointing backwards, that's how a camel smiles
But Ali and his camel they both were out of breath
They'd run so far, they'd loved so much,
They laughed themselves to death

Oh, gather around the campfire, sing a roundelay,
But don't sing out of tune, now. ('Cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali-Baba, sing about his men
Sing about his camel, then sing it all again
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba)

Ali-Baba's camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to that camel had to go
Some say he's in heaven, but this I know as well
Wherever you think Ali's gone, his camel's gone to....

Pictures from this afternoon's walk - trying to stop back or noggin from bugging me.

Third of July. The twin beaches always celebrate a day early, because everyone likes to go to DC or someplace else for the 4th.

Andrew was looking dapper, and the fireworks were a-ok by me. we spent the day grilling - thankfully, it was cool and comfy at windward key. I grilled the dogs and etc, while bhk made a funfetti cake.

We played some Can't stop, Huggermugger and of course, apples to apples. I was hoping for a little try at dictionary dabble  (aka Balderdash, but dabble has much cooler pawns)

.........................

BHK took most of the Dock pics, I experimented a bit with the camera settings for the fireworks.

Recapping -

Got my 401k comp check from my last gig - That worked out well. I told a little fib to BHk, and said that I expected about $500, and we got about eight times that amount. (I was planning for about six times.)

Went to Annapolis and promptly deposited that little windfall in the bank - then stopped off at the Amish Farmer's Market for breakfast. BHK and I split two - ate half and then swapped Chocolate Chip Pancakes, home fries, cheddar cheese omelet, wheat toast - I let BHK eat up all of the bacon, of course.

Opted out of going to a movie - nothing we want to see just this moment.. maybe next week when it's less crowded.  We did get a few other goodies at the farmer's market - cheese, strawberries, trinket's for our 4'th of July cake (gummy stars and confetti sprinkles), a blueberry fritter for me for tomorrow's breakfast (or tonight's midnight snack)

BHK remembered that I was due for shots (skipped when em was here) and we went there for a bit. Adam called, and mentioned that he was coming down for the 3rd's fireworks, an was bringing Anna - so, it was a quick trip to the grocery to be sure he had a full belly.

I was feeling pretty out of it at that point, so I rested in the car. Going to nap now that we're home. sweet dreams, dear journal.

added for no reason, except that I like Em and Otters -

 Went over to Chris and Mandy's for a cookout and general socializing - nice day, and the people were conversational and friendly. I missed out on the good eats because it seems that the antibiotics I'm taking don't work well with cereal-milk - had a sourbelly all day. 

Chris and Mandy (and Sarah and James/John?) seem like really fun folks to hang with - Philomena next door looks like a wonderfull addition to the neighborhood too. maybe we can all get together for a game night sometime - or maybe a boy's night and a gal's night split sometime, too?

tired as all get out - still recovering from our little visitor - but it's a good tired. I'm looking forward to Bugah's visit in two weeks! It should be interesting to see the shift form a 6 year old girl to 11 year old boy!

BHK is still recovering too - sh'es more resilient than I am!

Machine is back to work, newtcam is online again!

job fair - some possible hits there!

After, we visited twilite zone comics and then games and stuff - got micro mutants. Wargame with a tiddlywinks mechanic. looks fun!

Lunch/ Dinner at Gina's Cantina - then off to Sam's club - It turns out that my card from work got understandably canceled - semi annoying since it took a year to get the thing, but it was deactivated withing a week of departing. trouble of a yearly schedule, I suppose.

Tomorrow I do a callback for Georgetown gig? Wish me luck, dear journal!

Nokia developing phone that recharges itself without mains electricity

A new prototype charging system from the company is able to power itself on nothing more than ambient radio waves - the weak TV, radio and mobile phone signals that permanently surround us. The power harvested is small but it is almost enough to power a mobile in standby mode indefinitely without ever needing to plug it into the mains, according to Markku Rouvala, one of the researchers who developed the device at the Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge, UK.

The difference with Nokia's prototype is that instead of harvesting tiny amounts of power (a few microwatts) from dedicated transmitters, Nokia claims it is able to scavenge relatively large amounts of power -- around a thousand times as much -- from signals coming from miles away. Individually the energy available in each of these signals is miniscule. But by harvesting radio waves across a wide range of frequencies it all adds up, said Rouvala.

The trick here is to ensure that these circuits use less power than is being received, said Rouvala. So far they have been able to harvest up to 5 milliwatts. Their short-term goal is to get in excess of 20 milliwatts, enough power to keep a phone in standby mode indefinitely without having to recharge it. But this would not be enough to actually use the phone to make or receive a call, he says. So ultimately the hope is to be able to get as much as 50 milliwatts which would be sufficient to slowly recharge the battery.

Never did make it to Surrat house - Instead, we watched My Name is Bruce with Sean and Duncan. Teddy Grahams, hummus and hot dogs w/ kraut for all! Jay missed out, because he was sick at home.

Today was another stay at home day - took a hard walk around the neighborhood, and some chitty-chats with William Callas and Chris.

Visited Coffee Tea and Whimsy, and got some crabber crackers, a keychain giftie for BHK and caramel sauce for all!

Chris won her first-played game of Can't Stop vs BHK and me, while Larry mowed the yard.

Later, the in-laws came back over for quiche with peas & broccoli from the garden, and we watched some ocean documntaries and ate vanilla ice cream with the aforementioned sauce... and blueberries!

Did I mention that BHK and I went to see Star Trek last Tuesday, dear journal? I seem to have skipped over it. I liked it just fine, thinking it's #3 on my list of favorite star Trek movies, after #1 (Galaxy Quest) and #2 (Wrath of Khan). BHK enjoyed it, too, probably more than I did! We may be taking William to see UP on Tuesday matinee. (Which I've been looking more forward to than Trek, actually!)

Free pop tart day at cal tort ! BHK, Chris and I all went for supper, but none of us got the golden ticket entitling us to a year's worth of free burritos - but we did get a happy 2nd place - they mis-made a bean burrito and a chicken quesadilla, and gave 'em to us gratis on the way out.

Happy Anniversary, LJ - 9 years doing entries. Hard to believe, though my posts of late have been petty scanty. I need to get back on the wagon and produce something I'll want to look back on in a few years.

IN back news, I got my second epidural today... not working so great - may be due to scar tissue issues. next one will be injected through my side rather than the back, if I get another.

After my shot to the spine (pictures to follow), we visited at the in-laws for a few - had chinese food and hung out - Adam came over and played a little guitar with Larry and Stone.

Adam fessed up to trying adderall before his finals... not sure how happy  / unhappy I am with that. Not prescribed to him. Misuse can easily become abuse.

Watched Children of Men - not bad, but not mind-blowing, either. Worth seeing on tv, but perhaps not a non-netflix rental.
