Shots, and off to southern states to grab a couple of pepper plants - saw an adorable pair of kids. Little girl in riding pants and very friendly, and her little brother who reminded me of JD at 6 years old. We also picked up some thistle seed for the finches (so Pye and Newt have a little outside wildlife to watch)
After that a lovely church wine and craft show... We got a Christmas ornament with a pair of origami cranes (cherry blossom pattern paper) inside of a rounded cube.... and a lovely packet of bake sale goodies. Aggression cookies (oatmeal), molasses and chocolate chip.
Episcopal church had the following on the bulletin board:
The comedian Robin Williams is an Episcopalian, and he has created a funny "Top Ten" List of reasons to be an Episcopalian.
10. No snake handling.
9. You can believe in dinosaurs.
8. Male and female, God created them; male and female, we ordain them.
7. You don't have to check your brains at the door.
6. Pew aerobics.
5. Church year is color coded!
4. Free wine on Sunday.
3. All of the pageantry, none of the guilt.
2. You don't have to know how to swim to get baptized.
And the number one reason for being an Episcopalian:
1. No matter what you believe, there's bound to be at least one other Episcopalian who agrees with you.
I can dig that.
After the Church shindig, we Shakespeare on the Boardwalk - Much ado about nothing. TM's neighbor Kevin was in it, as was Guppy (twin beach players )
after a bit of local and classic culture, we headed home to catch up with The Office and My Name is Earl.
Added a syndicated feed of BHK's favorite meteorolgist - Kim Martucci - I should notify Kim that she's being syndicated here, just so she knows to check. It's not a full feed, just a clip and a link to the main site - which is *quite* active and colorful, if you follow my fonts. Her journal gave BHK a quickie girl-crush on Kim.
also via BHK -
"Artist made a plastic whale skeleton from plastic deck chairs! Also made recreations of native ceremonial masks out of Nike shoes----pretty cool art!"
Friday Five on a Saturday -
1. Who do you adore?
BHK, Newton and Pye
2. Who adores you?
BHK, Newton and Pye
3. What's in your pockets?
Wallet holding a red thread, trinkets, petty cash and ID, inhaler, keys
4. Who can you talk with for hours?
BHK, Danny, GP and Kat (haven't in a long time, though), Dave, Kev... most nice people with common interests, I guess!
5. What sounds great today?
Playtime with the family!

New back drugs are - Lyrica, Cyclobenzaprine and Nabumetone. I want to do a bit more research on 'em before I take them. Nabumetone in particular had a lot of nasty, scary warnings in the information text.
I am glad that they're not habit-forming, and have a lot of pretty decent write-ups so far.
Dell will be offering Windows XP pre-installed on their computers past the June 30 cut-off date. Computers purchased with Vista Business or Vista Ultimate past June 30 will come with a copy of XP Pro. Dell plans to simply install that copy upon request to save users a step. Perhaps this will help Microsoft officials make up their minds about another extension.
According to F-Secure, over 500,000 webservers across the world, including some from the United Nations and UK government, have been victims of a SQL injection. The attack uses an SQL injection to reroute clients to a malicious javascript at nmidahena.com, aspder.com or nihaorr1.com, which use another set of exploits to install a Trojan on the client's computer. As per usual, Firefox users with NoScript should be safe from the client exploit, but server admins should be alert for the server-side injection. Brian Krebs has a decent writeup on his Washington Post Security Blog, Dynamoo has a list of some of the high-profile sites that has been hacked, and for fun you can watch some of the IIS admins run around in circles at one of the many IIS forums on the 'net.
I need to remember that free comic book day is coming May 3... next weekend! Will I forget? Probably. But it's exciting to not write it down anywhere else and then rediscover. I wonder what loot Aardvark will have for us? I hope issues of Gumby and Hellboy (and maybe an Iron Man heroclix figure?) will be left.
I should scope out umbrella academy - probably my fave freebie book from last time - I could go for a trade paperback, if available.
Just so you know - I have never, ever pistol-whipped anyone, dear journal. Please don't make me change that situation.

| You do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find yourself tempted to overindulge, however you experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You prefer facts over fantasy and are more interested in what is happening in the real word. You are tenderhearted and compassionate, feeling the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity, however you generally see others as selfish, devious, and sometimes potentially dangerous.

50 things I've done meme nearly concludes with #49 - I...
49.'hurt my back when I was about 16... and I've been fighting the after-effects since. Did I cover this topic already? Probably, but this is a variation on the theme.
When I went to the FDR memorial, I got a bit frightened - fairly irrationally. My back and leg problems have followed me throughout my life - FDR ended up in a wheelchair at 38, due to polio. I began wondering how I'd react and adapt to that situation; it's a very real possibility that could be the result after I have my spine worked on. I don't think that I'd adapt very well, at least at first.
There have been times where I've needed a cane to get around... that's not too bad, but you lose a hand for common day's use, which seems to be needed a lot, even if it's just your off-hand. Upside, it's easier to wield a sword cane or umbrella. That said, you can carry a sword umbrella with you, even if you don't have a limp.
Ah well... at least I fit more comfortably into a crowd than an otter in a monocle. Sure, he's cute, but he's got limitations, too... Needs to be kept moistened all the time, and can only communicate via a series of barks and grunts.
Come to think of it... I know a lot of people that prefer to communicate that way... he might be ahead of the game if you got him some moisturiser and a polite pair of pants. (preferable on a belt - he doesn't have the shoulders for suspenders.)
Anyway, I hope I don't lose any more of my mobility or become reliant on a prosthetic / device assist. That really scares the hell out of me.
I wonder how much of my body will be patches / fixes / upgrades, by the time I die? How many bits of plastic, surgical steel, cadaver bits, and titanium? I kind of dig the fact that if I'm ashed, there's already a few pins to be found in the powder... or I could wreck the blade on a mulcher, should I get tossed into one for whatever reason.
Let's see... currently, I have a pin, and a little mesh in my back, some fillings in my teeth... and that's about it, save for scars where I've been sewn up.
On a lighter note... (than otters?) This week looks beautiful. I wonder how hard it would be to lure BHK to the office for a little lunch while it's so sunny and warm? Wednesday-Friday are all set to be in the low 70s and without clouds.

50 things I've done meme continues with #48- I...
48.'have traced my family tree a bit, here and there, and have had a great deal of footwork done for me by a Mormon cousin. It seems that I'm related to Benita Falkenhayn, also known as Baroness von Berg. I quite enjoy finding little tidbits here and there, though my father's side has a lot of pre-1920s Bavarian aristocracy and military, most understandably didn't make it when the Nazis came to power. I've got a few fun folks in there... not too many horse thieves, but a lot of men and women who married into money and power. Benita was surely one who chose a bit poorly.
Once the lover of Polish intelligence agent Major Jerzy Sosnowski, Benita put some distance between them by marrying the Baron von Berg. However she and her husband remained on friendly terms with Sosnowski and mingled within the same social circles. Rumors of Sosnowski's activity in espionage began to surface, although charges were unable to be proven.
In February 1935, the Nazis raided a party at which the Baroness, her husband, and Sosnowski were in attendance. Over fifty people were rushed off to jail and several were released after being cleared of charges of espionage and other crimes. Though secrecy shrouded the Nazi proceedings, it eventually became known that the Baroness von Berg, along with Sosnowski's mistress Renate von Natzmer, were sentenced to death. On February 18, 1935 both women were taken to the block at Plotzensee Prison in Berlin and decapitated by the axe.
(The 'heading axe' , as it was called, was little more than a blunt, primitive chopper which crushed its way through the flesh and vertebrae of the victim as he or she, knelt over the block on which their head lay. The executioners axe did not always cut through on the first strike nor did it often hit its target accurately.)
In 1938, Adolph Hitler decreed that all future executions be done by hanging or guillotine.

Rhyss made a pretty nifty observation in his journal -
The New York Times did a story about relationships torpedoed by a incompatibility in taste in books.
"We’ve all been there. Or some of us have. Anyone who cares about books has at some point confronted the Pushkin problem: when a missed — or misguided — literary reference makes it chillingly clear that a romance is going nowhere fast."
Which got me thinking - what books do I have that would be most likely to send a prospective date running for the door, never to be seen again?
Actually, most of my GFs have been of a similar mindset where reading is concerned... but I have always liked nerd / geek / Rockabetty types."We’ve all been there. Or some of us have. Anyone who cares about books has at some point confronted the Pushkin problem: when a missed — or misguided — literary reference makes it chillingly clear that a romance is going nowhere fast."

Here are 10 of my "scare off potential 'normal girl' dates" books currently on the shelf - I'll leave it to BHK to do her own books, if she desires.
[edit -later] I tried, and failed. I have very little truly objectionable material - I couldn't get to 10. Instead, here's a grouping of what you might find weird or not on the shelves.
- Encyclopedia of Occultism - I'm sure someone will get the wrong message there! (I'm pretty much a non-believer in that sort of stuff, but I love folklore / mythology.. many tomes of that type of thing)
- Rats - a History (actually, BHK and I both had a copy on the shelf, until we gave one to David!) Lots of history.
- A bunch of gaming books. (Warhammer rules just recently picked up)
- A bunch of Science Fiction (Nerd!)
- Books about Primate Psychology - Monkey Politics
- A Bunch of 40s detective novels.
- Stacks of books that have yet been unread. BHK and I hit the book sales pretty hard, and our queue is long... and we lengthen it by using the libray, too!
- Books in varying states of repair, from ragged, well-loved ones, to previously mentioned unopened tomes.
- Books about weird people-places-things.
- blank page book for coloring, with pencils of many shades.

I'm mostly proud of the hut, as it has provided a lot of good information for women's health... it was the first of its kind on livejournal, thought there are many more good resources in place now. I've only had to deal with a few instances of spamming, trolling or the like on any of them.
Have you ever wondered how the Enterprise would fare against a Star Destroyer, or how a Halo sizes up to a the Moon? Have you ever tried to guess just how big a Dyson Sphere would have to be to encompass the Earth's orbit around the sun? Jeff Russell has, and that's why he built Starship Dimensions, a website devoted to cataloging and contrasting the minutiae of Science Fiction's massives. In it you will find a library of vehicles spanning decades of Science Fiction movies and series, all meticulously drawn in proportion to each other. "Scale has always fascinated me," says Russell. "It is an important, yet often misunderstood or neglected way in which everything in our universe relates. And of course I've always really wanted my own Death Star, so naturally I wanted to know how big it really was, or how many Star Destroyers I could fit in it."

The old cars aren't due to be replaced for at least five years.
50 things you've done meme continues at 45 - I...
45.' have been in few physical fights in my life, and most have only lasted a short span... as a result of those melees, I've discovered that it is better to fight tactically with a cool head, than when angry... of course, if you've got a cool head, who wants to fight? I've never had much choice, as I'm a poor runner - easier to take down an opponent than to run away at a speed where I'll be taxed and overcome, anyhow. When overly emotional, I'm a more frightening combatant. Unless common sense overrides fear or rage, I will continue to attack an opponent (no matter what they're condition is in) until I'm exhausted. It's a wonder I never killed anyone including myself during puberty.
These days, and for a long time now, I'm quite passive. I can still get the short hairs on my neck up if life or loved ones are threatened, but for the most part, I try to channel my energy into more useful pursuits. My skill at fighting is poor... I could stand some updated martial arts training, even boxing would be good - my primary strengths are the ability to take a hit, grappling and hitting my opponent hard and heavy.
The last time I was in a real fistfight was more than a decade and a half ago...and that one was more of a "grab-punch-done" sort of scenario. I was working at the bookstore, helping a woman out in the kids books. A guy, probably in his late 30s, early 40s (I was maybe 23?) comes over, grabs my arm and says "you've helped her long enough, it's my turn". His physical contact caused me to tense up, and I told him if he didn't let go of me, then I'd punch him in the nose. He responded with "yeah, right"... I counted to three, and then popped him one in the face. He landed square on his backside, and I told him in a phrase littered with profanity to get out. He did, but he also contacted the store manager. Despite my feeling that I was in the right, I was fired the same day. My next job was assembling furniture while I finished off my Bachelor's Degree.
Since then, I've been in a few low-level conflicts, but nothing that would cause me to "go in swinging", usually because the issue was defused befor eI had time to build up a full head of steam. I've been hit in the face with a pool cue... but it was an accident. That did stop us from kicking the guy off the grounds, but I didn't press any charges.
Worst fight in my life was with a jerky in my freshman year of high school. I really had no experience in the HS arena, and the guy sucker-punched me in the gut and then kneed me in the privates. I pretty much keeled over immediately. He dropped out before I got a chance to plot any great revenge on him - I suppose it's just as well, because I'd probably be doing time to this day if I'd done any of what went through my mind that week.
My favorite encounter involved the end of my senior year in the cafeteria during 2nd lunch. A fellow senior and I were doing the ape behaviors of open-palm pushing one another, building to a bigger fight. My brother, looking to protect me, took one of the aluminum food trays and slammed it loudly over my enemy's head. It was loud, but didn't do any real damage, save to break up the fight with laughter on both sides.

50 things you've done meme continues at 44 - I...
44.'have done more than my share of critter killing and eating, despite my current feelings about doing so. If I was starving to death on an island covered with baby bunnies... well, baby bunny for dinner. I know how to kill and dress duck, boar, deer (all hands-on) and squirrel, alligator, rabbit (in theory, I saw my dad do it). I have lopped the heads off of chickens, and wrung their necks, too. I'd still rather do the slaughtering of a bird than do the cleaning.
I'm very happy to say that I haven't wanted or had to do that for a *very* long time... but if I was lost in the wilderness, I feel that I could survive better than some, at least food-wise. The boar is something that I'd have to use high-powered rounds on... those guys are nasty. I wonder if I could do a pit trap for a pig? I suppose it'd work, not that I ever will need one.
