Threw my back out pretty seriously this morning - this evening, and I'm still recovering from it a bit. I've alos decided to get back on the diet wagon, monitoring my intake more carefully again. I can keep weight off only when I'm more observant about my workouts and how much I'm feeding myself.
Got another nice short haircut for my interview on Friday. Just have to trim the beard and print copies of my tightened resume, and I'm set!
Jay and Sean officially announced that they're having a second child! We went over this evening to celebrate and do some long overdue chitty-chattin and eating of many cheese and crackers... and watching "will success spoil rock hunter? "
1 year ago - we dodge gustav, nasty ledos, orange kitten, leonardtown, crazy for ewe, pentago
2 years ago - gamerz, gamers, enchanted forest w / pictures, hot fuzz, night at the museum
3 years ago - iguana mob pics, saw Accepted, impersonating liberace, nice weather for ducks
4 years ago - holiday countdown, teensy manatees, npr podcasts, disney quiz, underdog, trammel , new orleans psa, "I Don't Wanna See Anybody Give Any More Goddamn Press Conferences"
5 years ago - hurricane frances, CoH, sweet revenge, strange brew, superhero costumes, sequels, Syncretism, retreat to Danny's, newtcam pic, second thoughts, twinkie sushi, evil genius, zim and gaimajin, DCL's bday.(HAPPY B'day!)
6 years ago - nostalgia central, general upkeep, nice chatty
7 years ago - John Walker Lindh, Old Maid, debian, red flags, my tarot card, underdog
8 years ago - Reading location poll, start page, bat-music, Amazon dreams, JH Noir
9 years ago - Empathy Rating, me, and the bionic woman

Adam and Mandy drink non-diet sodas.
I think Sean may be with child.
Chris likes margaritas
Larry was sleepy as heck
My back still needs repair.

Hard to believe it's only been 3 years since I was first planning to visit BHK on her birthday. Funny to me how little I can think of life prior to being married to her, and having our crew of four under the roof.
I'm in the office now, taknig a brief break from gig-searching to catch myself up on LJ. Larry is setting up BHK's Best Birthday Present Ever (tm)- a widening of the closet door in our bedroom. For the record, I also proposed to BHK on her birthday, 3 years ago in two weeks. Heck, she'd have wanted closet spasce, even if single.
33333333333333333333333333333333 - Newton's left foot on the number pad says hello. Pye is sleeping on the purple chair to my left, and Netwon has leapt to the couch on my right (newtcam couch) and will be in sleepytown soon.
Here's a breakdown of my music via Media Go -
According to my SenseMe playlist - the fastest/happiest song is a three way tie -
I am really interested in a few new looney labs releases - Aquarius 2.0 and Chrononauts: The Gore Years expansion
Additionally - I'd like to try Apophis sometime as a game. Looks neat, and I have all the pieces already to play!
from the lj status page, earlier -
1 year ago - temp filling, need crown, knife wilding robot doodle, pedegg, german boardgames usually lack dice, Bengies, Mayor's Drug raid - he's innocent, cops shot his dogs, bro at 44 points, faces of evil project
2 years ago - dc to nyc bus, pg county car chase update, chocolate gum, ex debt, louise fadeout, ljopoly, cruel 2 b kind assassination game
3 years ago - finished pride & pred / monkey politics, Newt pic, kid rolling ajoint on the bus, solar powered sun bricks, firkin, 8500, flying model plane in miami, flight plans to maryland
4 years ago - deepest sender, jumping pictures, walkabout autostitch, mangrove tunnels
5 years ago - tmbg thoughts, sugar water vid, space issues, Rick James dead, Burpin' at Newt, Magical Trevor, cocktail demons, nifty charts, Newt Videos, CoH Pix
6 years ago - Zombies, Army Men, mean cannibal pudding, time travel spam, vampire game, celeb phone calls, cej chat, bro request
7 years ago - Earth and Beyond Playtest, Kev & Bailey, fat parrots, french fry girl palm doodle
8 years ago - harried, inculpate, plane lands just down the road on andrews as a makeshift runway and kits my regular bus, wondering about lj's image server (still not ready!), happy thoughts, magic can of soda
9 years ago - grumping, Space cowboys shows old man butts

- Ballero - War
I am really interested in a few new looney labs releases - Aquarius 2.0 and Chrononauts: The Gore Years expansion
(Chrononauts 1.4 The Gore Years: Like Aquarius, Chrononauts is also about to get upgraded to the new uniform box. But although it will feature a couple of new cards and a new rulesheet, the new edition of Chrononauts won't be very different from the original. For this reason, and since it's the fourth printing, they've decided to call it version 1.4. However, since a lot has happened since 1999 and Chrononauts is really showing its age, theyere also creating an expansion product that brings the TimeLine into the 21st Century. This packet of 11 cards will feature 5 new Timeline cards (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2008) along with 3 new Patches and 3 new characters who need to change recent events in order to get home. (Of course, it's called the Gore Years because that's what the last 8 years are known as to certain time travelers.). Release date: October 23th.(Martian Fluxx, too, but not as much as the other two)
Additionally - I'd like to try Apophis sometime as a game. Looks neat, and I have all the pieces already to play!

We've got to butter his nose today, and get him some razzles. Grill up some hot dogs, give him a cake to munch - maybe some ice cream.
It's cloudy, but hot as heck.. thankfully it rained to cool tihngs off during Adam's party.
We left so BHK could finish her studies - just as well, my back is really crimped today.

7 years ago - CHiPs, Spreading rumors
8 years ago - Music Mystery Solved, exegesis, evil news, Earhart's wreck perhaps found, I discover Google image search, sea creature poll, why poop is brown
9 years ago - Scheduled Departure time set in stone, something at Archie McPhee no longer there, sitcom nudity-logic

As always, Happy Birthday, Oneeyedcat! We Love you and yours!
We slept in this morning, after the late night out... Chris and Larry stopped by to check out the garden, and bring us some biscuits and bacon... (I focused on the former, BHK, the latter, of course.)
While folding laundry, We watched the first episode of Primeval: Season 3 . Looks like it's off to a good start.
Later, Chris and Larry came back over, and we grilled, as is our thing lately... meat burgers for the in-laws, veggie-burgs for BHK and me. Baked beans, cole slaw, some of the most awesome corn on the cob of the season, and tasty mac & cheese. It's hard to diet with this much good food nearby.
BHK made key lime pie for dessert, and we watched the end of The Last Templar - it started strong, but petered out - I can't recommend it. I do recommend BHK's key lime pie, though.
I spent a little time working on the computer - we're having connectivity issues- it seems like comcast has trouble after rainstorms, especially.
1 year ago - oneeyed's bday!, dance recital, bbq
2 years ago - Oneeyed b'day, cleaning up the tech area pics, sugar free cherry sno-cone.
3 years ago - day in moods, bears kill and eat monkeys, auto stitched clouds, new interfaces for flickr and yahoo, police music
4 years ago - Tracy Ullman, Hotcakes and Sausage, tummy owie, who to GP&K, bad hurricane season predicted, movies, work stuff, doctor beat up by a corpse, missing kid case foul up, ernie's, chicago crime, finish the sentence, triple homicide
5 years ago - Oneyed is 21!, Birthday Stars, warmer out, 2-point smart ones, company to php, yahoo mail to 100mb (now it's 1 gig), being left behind in CoH,gumball cards, boy with a bunker, silly amazon stuff, wireless broadcast test, sample memo, bro
6 years ago - trouble with downloads, friday 5, there-quest, publix direct
7 years ago - layout planning, link popularity, now dead cam-ring
8 years ago - jimmy johns, Adipocere, purity test meme, nice chitty chat, mushies, gated communities, super hero casting poll

8:01 AM - Discovered the hard way that the commuter bus doesn’t take checks - thankfully the fast stop up the road has an ATM so I can pay in cash, and yoo hoo to sooth my nerves. The driver was kind enough to give me a free ride today so I am still 10 rides on the ol’ ticket. Not bad for $38.25 (normally $4.25 a lift)
2 years ago - local wildlife pic, ice storm coming, feeling better
3 years ago - chilly?, swollen uvula, nohari, bongos, GND moving (she's since married... as have I!), cookies?, auto stitched comic spread, super squid

, Walter adopted
7 years ago - Alton Brown, Melting pot month, ornj on the mend, talky newt, sleepy day, condiment museum
8 years ago - lost empires, pipe-smoking monkey sings Sanford and son
Getting cooler outside again - perhaps snow tomorrow? Many sunbeam “talkers” came from between the clouds after sunrise.
I wonder how hard it is to get an international driver’s license. I am so close to dc, that I suspect that it may be an option. I will look into that.
Starlings and sparrows are all out and about at the bus stop this morning - spring must be in the heart, if not in the air just yet.
Friday the 13th! As mentioned previously, the train smelled of fresh cupcakes, which is a nice way to start the day.
Long weekend ahead - some of the chiefs at work started it today. - I have said it before - it is amazing how much more work can be done when the side distractions have left for the day.
update - 1:21 PM - Polished off the tvp with some baked beans for lunch - tasty stuff, and it looks like my gi tract isn’t going to rebel too much - it seems like some of my gut issues have abated a bit- I think that taking my medicine at night makes it a bit easier in the morning.
Today is Chris's Birthday, so BHK and I will likely go shopping for our Valentine's Day picnic tomorrow. I planned a little adventure for us to go out, walk holding hands, and have a nice romantic time together on the long weekend.
Chris mentioned something about all of us going to Selby Bay for her birthday dinner - Works for me! I suspect that I won't have time to update more tonight, so until later, dear journal!

Got my Upper GI done - will know more in 24-48 hours. A shot of fizzy pop rocks with a Barium/chalk milkshake chaser to take pictures of my plumbing.
It's official, despite morning nausea, moodiness and dry heaves, I'm not pregnant.
This morning, when I got up - I saw my shadow, much like Punxy Phil.
After the doc, we went to have lunch at cheeburger cheeburger and then see Taken. Not bad for a fluffy "gimme back my daughter immediately or I'll kill everyone in my way and take her back" sort of flick. spoiler, they didn't give his daughter back immediately.
Pic of me squinting into the sun. Figured I should document my 40th b'day for posterity.

Phil's official forecast as read February 2nd, 2009 at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob:
Hear Ye Hear YeOn Gobbler's Knob this glorious Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2009
Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators
Awoke to the call of President Bill Cooper
And greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths
After casting a joyful eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
Phil proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time
And a bright sky above me
Showed my shadow beside me.
So 6 more weeks of winter it will be.

Went to The Narrows with the in-laws and BHK for birthday lunch. Crab cake was great, possibly the best I've had - and the desserts were fantastic.
White chocolate mousse in a dark chocolate bag - Butterfly and raspberry sauce.
Bread pudding... seems awful fancy for a simple treat!
Also, taken yesterday - looks like the 80s are back in fashion, at least at Target.
We picked up my EEE at target too and upon finding it was the version with less memory and no camera, took it back today. I ordered the 904HA online (in black), due to arrive on or about 2/9 - the new one will have better battery life and the goodies I was hoping for.]
Was feeling pretty sick on the ride home - I went to bed at about 5 pm, woke up a little while ago, but will be going back to sleep soon.

Happy Year of the OX! Happy B'day MissV!
Hectic day at work today - lots done, lots to do.
After work, BHK picked me up, and we stopped by Dream Wizards - unfortunatly closed, so we settled for MOM's got a few little sundries - beans, bread, veggie-chips
We went to the Vegetable Garden with Todd - he's in town for a couple of days, and we're happy to take advantage of having him local! It was nice visiting with him, and hopefully we can catch him again tomorrow before he high-tails it back to South Florida.
Quote of the night - "Should I take the shoe or the duck? ... Well, the Shoe comes with maple syrup!" Todd got the Duck, anyhow. I suspect the shoe was tastier.

4 years ago - fly doodle, GP praise, "cut" slang, B's lyrics, Day off the dead, ringo starr superhero, lifespan/season meme, flammable cables, bro issues
5 years ago - dream, bearded babies, touch graph
6 years ago - pirate stuff, Morikami, geourl, cool safeway prank, search keywords
7 years ago - missv's Bday!, To dos, day trips m&ms, Baby dexter-doggie!!, Newt in laundry
8 years ago - First shoo smiley - Ü, bounced Greg, Yahoo eats up egroups, love letter

Went out with Larry this morning to have the green truck looked at (no relation to the element issues) - It was a nice guy's morning out, even though we were stymied at every attempt to get the truck looked over by a mechanic. Same thing happened when we went to look for breakfast - Denny's and The Double T diner was jam packed, so we headed closer to home from Annapolis, and were lucky enough to see Selby's unofficially open - they were there baking the bread and goodies for later in the day. We got some scrambled eggs and toast - worked for us!
We stopped off at the blue house, and rotated the tires - we'll see if that fixed the humming in the long run - right now, the sound is good.
After doing truck-work, Larry applied another coat of laquer to the guitar - it's coming along nicely - my photos don't do the grain any justice whatsoever.
Got home, and was feeling pretty bad again in the ol' gizzard - BHK and I went to Calvert Kettle Corn to get Sean part of his birthday snack - we refilled his 2 gallon bucket, brought some ice cream, and BHK made him a lovely blue cake with cherry chips inside.
Spent a little time at the Masnpergers - good karaoke and birthday fun, but my gut was bugging me and we headed home. I had a few crackers for dinner, but basically took it easy.

Still pretty darned psyched about going to see Punxatawney Phil on my B'day. I am concerned a bit about the weather, though. Last year, it was 27 degrees, not horrid, but pretty dang cold.
It's been snowing there all this week, and it's only going to get chillier!
We should stock up the love cube with some hot cocoa, cider, and plenty of blankets, too. Oh, and plenty of Polka Music for the 5 hour drive. :)
Best? I'll just go with first that comes to mind. Maybe I'll come back and fill in more detail - maybe not.
Allison - my love.
Barefoot
Creaky - Back, hip, jaw... a little work around the joints would be nice.
Determined - not much of a quitter here.
Eyesight - one of my better physical traits, at least as far as viewing the surface of things. No x-ray vision, sadly.
Food - When food is prepared to my liking, I get a sense of comfort. BHK is an amazing cook. MD has far better food than FL, too.
