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.

1 year ago - caveman voice post, johncon - gaming

2 years ago - a year away form acim, ninjas on the subway, meat, commodes, dining out, jimmy and amanda, veggie folk get picked on by chefs

8 years ago - Evil news, EL Dildo Bandito!, went out with Dave & Cathi

9 years ago - Rush, Bee-man

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.

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.

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.

Well, back is still being tricky, but I was ok enough to go gently back to the office!

Back is sore, and poor BHK has contact allergy / dermatitis - We're both just sort of shambling around for the moment, and trying to keep our heads together.

Fortunately, we're both in pretty good moods, despite my nagging her not to scratch.

We were blessed by not having to make dinner tonight - Chris and Larry came back from the camping / Environmental trip with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and they picked up Chinese food and a 10-layer cake for us to gobble up while they regaled us with tales of no electricity, mud and guides with Elvis sideburns.

We cooled our heels, and watched a little NCIS (and In-law staple that I don't mind at all) and then a really good Annie Oakley documentary on PBS. I have a new found respect for the lady.

Here, dear journal -  have a Pyewacket pic and a newton movie! Pye looking outside from my comfy zone on the couch, and Newton running around while BHK and I relax from the same area.

Yikes, it's the Ides of March! Sorry, Ceasar! Reminds me that it's Dave's Birthday yesterday.. I wonder how old he is now?

Sleepy day today - no walkies,too rainy. did some chores and took a midday nap upstairs. Lunch was pretzels and TV - last of alien in america - I'm kind of glad to see it go out on top, rather than fizzling.

We meandered downstairs, did some more chores, and then watched the pilot for  Castle (has potential, but suffered from "pilot-itis) and caught up with Ugly Betty and House.

Note - Dutch from the Shield Showing up all over the place - Burn notice, CSI and House, most recently - And this guy who was on House, CSI, and Psych all in the same week. (The in-laws do the CSI thing) - They must have good managers!

Supper was what we meant to have yesterday - spaghetti and meatballs - pasta was good, but the sauce was just ok - not worth $6... can get better or at least similar for less than half that at safeway.

We didn't leave the house all day... rather a blessing.

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.

Got home from work, and had more homework to do before bed - I think I'm pretty prepared for tomorrow's meeting, though.

Not much to say, save that I'm sleepy, and tonight's Big Bang Theory was pretty weak. They're on a train and Summer whoozit from Terminator / Firefly is there. Bleh. Best thing about the episode was the end title card.

From BHK -

"Funny story about this morning. I made a bagel and went upstairs to sit on the bed and eat it and watch the news. I kept hearing this rumble. I couldn't figure out what it was---maybe my stomach or something outside...at 6am??? On the bed was my jacket which I'd taken off after curling up in yesterday when I wasn't feeling well and I was cold----the sound seemed to be coming from there---I touched the coat and felt a lump---trying to figure out if it was Newt I picked it up and----he had WRAPPED himself like a burrito A BURRITO in my coat and he was purring like CRAZY!!! He's so silly!!!!"

SNOW DAY! Working from home - snow is still pretty fine... swirly dust that gets picked up by the slightest breeze. Lots of deadly-looking icicles on roof-edges, too. I imagine sand behaving in a similar manner during a desert storm.

Working inside while there's so much wintry wonderland is tough... but it's easier because the ol' back is sore - I'm more than a little fearful of falling down and not being able to get back up on the unsteady footing outside. That said, I still managed to take a little midday break and see the white stuff before it decides to all melt away tomorrow. (or not? Tomorrow is sunny, but only supposed to be about 25 all day?)

Tonight, we relaxed and picked up some more leftover tube while I worked on some projects with the tiny laptop.

Poor Middleman- on Dollhouse? That's sad.... I miss Middleman and don't much dig Dollhouse's Mind-rape vibe so far - But then, I'm not a huge Whedon-fan, either. It's fine to have going in the background while I work on code or other elements.

More Pictures, bonus video of Newton being sleepily petted near the bottom.

I played a little bit of Fallout 3 this afternoon while waiting for the in-laws to show up for supper - pigs in blankets!

Once they got here, I got a telephone call from my mom - just gabbed a bit, but when I came back out, the in-laws were ready to take off. I guess they weren't too into The Fall.   BHK and I liked it - I really enjoyed just staring through it - nifty costumes and sets.

Photos from this evening. Featuring snow that looks like ping pong balls in the light of a flash, blue lit room due to pausing the tv, and a phantom kiss from BHK due to a long shutter opening. Also seen is the "Rosy Glow" due to light diffraction outside.

Funny to me that we get more snow on the first day of March than the rest of winter combined. Looks like about 8 inches tonight... powdery, no crust... like confectioners sugar with some glitter tossed in for effect. Maybe tomorrow will be a "Snow Day" and I can work from home!

Not much to say - I'll part on ripple.




If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da
La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da.

Hooray for Having the Day off! Thanks, Presidents!

Slept in for a bit, but not too long. Up at about 9am and then we frittered around until about 1 - played more indiana jones lego, and hung out. We decided to hit the 4pm showing of Coraline in 3-D - but before we left, Larry swung by - he needed me to reset the password on an old laptop he had. Found a great utility to do that - boot from CD, run a little line of code, and presto- reset. I'm keeping the CD in my library in case I'll need it again - I have little doubt that it's a one-shot item, given the number of computer users in my life.

Anyhow, we went to Annapolis to catch Coroline [corrected form Caraline!]- it was a great movie, very immersive, and the story was nicely spooky, but kid-ish. I wouldn't have trouble taking my neice and nephew to go see it - they're 11 and 6. BHK and I noshed on a big tub of corn and diet-soda, so we weren't too hungry for dinner after the flick. We headed home, waved to the ATW man (skiing at the moment) and got comfy on the couch.

A couple of last-minute chores to do - folding laundry and such, and we watched the season finale of Dr. Who... not bad. I liked seeing the army of companions / spinoff folks all working together.

Dinner was tasty remainder of the matzo ball Soup and pair of quorn patties with munster cheese for dinner. After the Who, we caught up with an episode or two of Ugly Betty.

It's a "school night", so off to bed early for me! until later, dear journal.

Beware the Ides of February!!


Nice walkies today - cool outside, saw a couple of new neighborhood cats (as well as a few of the regulars) - There are more than a few local houses with ship's figureheads on them - one on the boardwalk puzzles me a bit, as I think they look better at the tip or meeting of two corners, rather than on a flat surface.

Stopped by the post office - a letter from insurance says I have fibromyalgia , but my doctor hasn't said anything to me about it. Put me in a bit of a foul mood for a while - stewed in my own juices for a bit, but have since recovered. Giving the situation a name hasn't really helped with finding a repair situation, and I suspect that calling it such will cause more than a few people to dismiss it like folks do with ADD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or the like. It is one of those things that is hard ot diagnose, and is likely over-diagnosed. I'm not going to assume anything until we can go over more facts.

Tonight, the in-laws came back over and we watched the remainder of Lost in Austen. To be honest, it was off to a weak start, but was more entertaining in the 2nd half. After that polished off, a little Top Gear helped to elevate the rapidly diminishing testosterone volume. Looks like they're back on track with the fun goofy stuff, and not so much straight car reviews. I prefer the weird challenges any day.

Valentine's Day! BHK got peanut butter chocolates and a couple of cards from me... I got a wonderful couple of cards, a dragon kite with a wingspan is as wide as I am tall, [edit- added a spiffy sea monster video game for the wii] and some very spiffy coupons.

BHK and I curled up on the couch and played a little lego indiana jones on the wii (checked out form the library), but then the in-laws rang us up - No time for love, Dr. Jones!

We went with the in-laws to get a spot of lunch at Clarke's Landing (Great view, and the best seafood place we've been to - plus, it was free - Valentine's gift from the in-laws)  and then onward to Leonardtown (home of ol' Witches Rock ), and visited a local gallery and used bookstore before heading back to headquarters. BHK got a couple of cookbooks, a pair of green cylindrical earrings, black-eyed susan seeds and some Chick-lit. We got Larry a book on Southern Pacific Railroad, and a Lou Reid CD. I just enjoyed roaming aorund with my sweetie, drinking a hot cup of Earl Gray tea and taking in some nifty stenciled graffiti.


When we (in-laws and all) got home, we watched the Nancy Drew Movie (BHK loved it, and I thought it was cute, too.)

Now we're watching the Lost in Austen miniseries, and I'm about ready for bed. BHK and Larry are already out cold, and Chris is not long to follow.

So, Yelp sells review placement?


Well, if that's the case, how can they be considered even remotely valid? I've removed links from my site, and am considering what my alternatives are in the review arena.
