happy birthday. pyewacket!
 

Nice day today - went to Annapolis with Larry, Chris and BHK - went to see Jerry Douglas and toured St. Anne's Church graveyard.

just about wiped out my back, but it was worth it. a few pics from the day - concert, downtown, yellow fever graves and newton / pye pix

Happy Cuatro De Mayo! BHK brought home a few fun things from the thrift store - Aztec statuary for the lawn - a temple, an Idol, and a terra-cotta dancer!

BHK drove me in to work today - made the transition the first day back a lot simpler. We scanned for Franklin, but it was raining. He isn't as silly as the puff from yesterday - knows when to get out of the rain (unlike Pyewacket, who likes to stick his head under any faucet he can. Hurricane baby.




Some days, I feel a bit like Lennie from Of Mice and Men... I feel that I have to be extra gentle, just so I don't demolish everything in my path. I don't want to break any necks, either figuratively or otherwise.

I'm getting better about it, though. Today was exhausting, but I'm glad I'm back at my gig.

Big Bang was cute tonight - lots of nods to nerds, and dinner was a broad assortment of nibs and nabs... veggie spare ribs, taquitos, rice, jalepeno poppers, and edamame! very tasty, and I'm going to pop in a moment.

Sweet dreams, dear journal.

We woke early this morning - exchanged easter baskets! BHK loaded me up with jellybeans, gummi lobsters and chocolate covered potato chips, while I got her peanut butter eggs, tie-dye plastic eggs, lip balm and ceramic bowls. :)

Kitties were happy to play with catnip from the garden - growing well already.

BHK gave Mr. Woods an assortment of flowers from our garden to put on his wife's grave - colorful... yellows, reds, and lavender.

I was really beat - back bothering me - I had some lunch and had a nap - woke up at 8:30pm.

Franklin followed me in to work again this morning! I think he missed me (or my treats) over the weekend. Very snuggly- I could hardly walk for all the ankle rubbing he was doing

Yeowtch!

Backdated and entered after the fact.

 

update - fell at work - went knees over noggin as a result of an unstable chair.- went to the ER and was told to take things gently until monday - so much for the cherry blossom festival this weekend. not at work either, for the time being. 

 

ER pic- post x-ray, waiting for my prescription.

I'm ok now... in pain, but on meds and relaxing. Off my feet for this week.

Beautiful Spring day today - Back is sore and tummy still upset, but it's hard not to love the weather. If anything, it's a bit warm - thank goodness for the breeze off the bay!

Opened up our windows, and let the kitties sniff the fresh air... good to air out the house. Lots of green glow outside, flowers are blooming like gangbusters.

All of our neighborhood kitties were running around, too... most were too fast for the camera, save the chubby polydactyl girl that lives off of 7th and F. She is a master of using her little mitten-hands, too! I fear for the day we ever own a cat with opposable thumbs... our boys are tricky enough without manual dexterity.

Also discovered that the critter up the road we call "Dirty Cow Cat" (sung to Foreigner's "Dirty White Boy") is really named Zorro.

Pyewacket was at the Window, mewing loudly as BHK picked at the catnip out front... I took a time out from what I was doing to dose both the boys up with a little bit of the kitty-weed.

Saw Chicken Dawg walking around while the in-laws were working in the garden. He was having a grand ol' time, and smartly stayed out of the road.  (Chicken Dawg is named such, because the first day we saw the beagle/basset mix, he was running down the street with a chicken carcass in his mouth - looks like he got it from a trash can. He high-tailed it before we could take it away from him.)

Pictures from walkabout - lots of plants, with the occasional kitty or lawn.

Newton and Pyewacket were especially resistant to my heading out this morning. Good Snuggle and nap weather.

No Franklin - also due to rainy day.

Came home, dinner of pigs in blankets, and mac & cheese. The boys were happy to see me.

BHK got goodies for the garden and the yard! So far, she's picked up  Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, sugar peas, tulips, radishes, spinach and something else that doesn't leap immediately to mind. Broccoli will be coming later.

I'm glad BHK has such sharp cooking cred - I'm still not sure how I feel about baby stinkhead sprouts, but I'm sure she'll make 'em great. (I also used to dislike zucchini, so what do I know?)

Some fires to put out at work, went quickly enough.

BHK fell asleep next to me while watching last restaurant standing. Making an early night of it again - maybe we'll catch the office tomorrow.

kottke pointed me to this re: Some answers to the disappearing honeybee problem

In an article for Scientific American, two scientists who are working on the causes of colony collapse disorder (CCD) say that they and other researchers have made some progress in determining what's killing all of those bees.


It's like AIDS for bees...the lowered immunity doesn't kill directly but makes the bees more susceptible to other illness. One the techniques researchers used in investigating CDD is metagenomics. Instead of singling out an organism for analysis, they essentially mixed together a bunch of genetic material found in the bees (including any bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc.) and sliced it up into small pieces that were individually deciphered. They went through those pieces one by one and assigned them to known organisms until they ran across something unusual.

Slow to get up - Aiee monday, indeed. It took me a good hour or two to shake off the morning sleepies.

Made it to work with time to spare, I was welcomed by Franklin-cat - I'm going to get treats for him later.

Batman Brave & the Bold continues to be exceptional  - I really liked the recent Joker's 50's design is ... also "brake, choke, throttle, " my kind of car! comment was perfect.

Speaking of Throttle - Comcast returned - didn't call BHK to let her know they had come by - seems they had throttled down our connection because they couldn't figure out how to properly bill us? What? Anyhow, it is  back up to speed now. Just as well - Verison's service isn't in our area - our only other alternative is satellite-type stuff - Hughes net. That's the price we pay for living in a rural-ish area, I guess!

Grabbed subs, did $2 worth of scratch-off tickets (and won$2! - broke even), and headed home to watch Hancock  tonight - I thought it was pretty enjoyable, all told. I think the thing was to not expect "meteor man - drunk hero" throughout the whole film. I do have to wonder about the other super though... why was Hancock the only person being a hero? Just seeing the movie made me wonder if a Damage Control film was a viable thing - a ton of collateral damage.

I just figured out the cartoon I was whistling the song to earlier (singing to pyewacket and newt) - An Itch in Time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-zA16E-_NY about 1:30 into the video

Happy PI day! To celebrate, we went out for pancakes at the Main Ingredient with Duncan, J, and Sean. A nice time, and we piddled around the stationary store next door to digest afterward. (Picked up a set of cute barrettes for BHK!)

For the record, Pyewacket could care less if it was PI day, Pie day or Pye-day.

Midday, we headed home, swung by the candy store and got our mail, a brief stop at Coffee, Tea & Whimsy for a wine-tasting (well, I was there for the snacks), picked up some crabby crackers, a loaf of italian brad and some pasta sauce, spent $10 to support breast cancer awareness (BHK got a homemade pin, I got a sleeve of sugar cookies)

and watched Mr. Meaty. BHK said that it's like that show is in my head... episodes today were about Zombies and a Planet of the Apes sort of parody.. the show just hits things right on the nose. Thanks, Canada!

This evening, we had a minimalist supper (nibbles above), and watched the 2008 Bangkok Dangerous - I was a little disappointed, and BHK was more so.

BHK enjoyed the Sex in the City movie in part tow of our "flush out our old netflix" film fest more, and I thought it was a passable chick flick based on a girl's TV show, but not much more than that.

Back to Work after the snow day - Busy day scoping out the parameter. BHK isn't feeling very well today, tummy issues, so a light dinner all around.

What's happening right now? (or at least since the last time the motion sensors were tripped?) As for me, I can see Pye in Newtcam window, and Newton on the Kitty Tower on Pyecam. I'm still debating doing a Scotto Cam from the laptop)

Big thing will be doodling - we'll see how that works with the trackpad, or a little external mouse.

There was a fire 2 doors down tonight - It seems that someone didn't clean thier chimney, and it caught fire. (If feel guilty a bit for thinking DRYER FIRE at first.) Nobody was hurt, but there was a lot of smoke.

Random pictures from tonight. BHK, Pye watching the firetruck, my upper desk, and our windows need to be cleaned after all the kitty nose touches and snow time. Clicking should embiggen and open in a new window.

....

A wave of low pressure will continue to bring snow and sleet to the area today. A brief lull in the precipitation is expected this afternoon... before a second  stronger low pressure wave will bring a wintry mix of precipitation tonight and Wednesday. Precipitation will be mainly in the form of snow and sleet this evening... but a change over to freezing rain and rain is expected overnight as warmer air is drawn into the system. Temperatures will remain in the lower 30s Wednesday  allowing for the rain to freeze on some surfaces.

Total snow and sleet accumulations through Tuesday night will be 2 to 4 inches and total ice accumulations for Tuesday night through Wednesday morning will be one to two tenths of an inch.

Didn't get together with Todd today - the weather was too bad to drive to meet him. We made it home ok - all of the soft poweder of the morning had a layer of slick ice over the top of it. I'm glad that we managed to see him yesterday! It sounds like he had a good time checking out the monuments - I'm sure that they were extra nifty-looking with the layers of snow everywhere.

Had Pigs in Blankets for dinner, with string beans on the side. pretty nummy!

BHK brought the element in for an alignment at the dealer today. Mechanical issue, it turns out. Insurance should cover it, but it has to be looked over first.

The moon was orbiting pretty close tonight, I nearly banged my head on it. My gut is still out of whack - I may have to go to the doctor tomorrow if this keeps up. Cereal and Milk for dinner - that should soothe a bit.

Pye, birdwatching this morning, as we left the house.


Self-portrait taken at midday today, with a tiny self-portrait inside the phone.
I think I look odd here - overhead lights, I guess. I've lost a little weight, but still working on it.
Note the dueling scar just between cheekbone and beard.


I have an irrational fear of post-getting a tattoo - I figure that as soon as I get one, I'll accidentally scar my body in a way as to make the design appear torn or crooked.

That said, I don't know what sort of tattoo I'd ever get.

When we got home, we snuggled up again like happy little bugs in a rug and watched the inauguration concert on the boob tube.

Friday at last. Got a long weekend ahead of me - but I've got a couple of issues I've got to tend to before I fully relax. Two things for work to get in alignment - Wednesday will have to go for it! 4 day weekend ahead. Part of it will be spent celebrating the new prez, but most of it will be just relaxing. I'll see if BHK wants to go on a little date maybe, too.

Low today of 7 degrees Fahrenheit.  (High of 22). If it's going to be this cold, it could at least snow, but it is as sunny as can be.

Trimmed back the beard - may return to goatee on the weekend. It's really good at fighting the cold, though.

Rest in Peace, #6 and Mr. Roarke. I hope the new islands suit you both, glad you spent so much time on this one.

A cat named Sammy was usually seen lounging in the window of the post office in Notasulga, Alabama until someone complained.
*
“They said ‘This is a federal building and he doesn’t pay federal taxes so he can’t come in’,” said postal worker Rochelle Langford.
*
But Sammy’s supporters think they have found a way around the banishment. They have rented a post office box in his name!

Speaking of Orange Kitties -



Forgot to post this on Monday - Newt leaps in from the side of Newtcam! BHK said that something got into his head and he went on a tear through the house---up and down the stairs and jumping on all the cat furniture. Pye and BHK as usual looked at him like he was a crazy orange beast :D

Sick as a very sick dog. Got as far as the Metro station, and turned around and went home as I started hacking like a plague victim. BHK spun me around and home we went. Coughing due to infection blended with poor lungs in the bitter cold and firewood smoke, I think.

Slept most of the day. Ate some noodle soup, saltines, and a lot of ginger ale.

Eyes too tired to read - drained the Tivo remaining Dr. Who episodes. I liked the evil "shadow monster in the library planet" episode - fun, goofy, but spooky and sad, too.

Newton, Pye and BHK are all excellent caretakers while I'm a big sick baby.
