10,066 – Sunday – Happy birthday, Kat!

Brunch with BHK, In-laws, Adam, Dave Nelson, and Rorey – Adam made a heart-shaped biscuit for anna, who was absent (Adam is going to VA this afternoon to settle some court issues there)

Big Kahuna when we got home – nearly to the end by now – our zoo animals haven’t given birth yet.

Chores, watched some psych – finale was good!, burn notice – getting better, mr meaty -robot employee episode –  great as always.

Cousin David is going to South Korea to Teach conversational English. I’m glad he’s heading out of Blackburg and expanding his horizons – I think he’ll dig it, and can help folks in the process.

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.

wienermobile 2

BHK and David saw the wienermobile, and BHK sang the commercial jingle… got us two glow in the dark wiener whistles!!

They also made use of David’s 40% discount at B&N for books… and hit the thrift shop and got me a nice $6 dress shirt (blue-blue)

9544 – Tuesday

Long ol’ Day at work, and a *seemingly* longer commute home.

Cousin David met BHK and I at the Suitland Station and we whisked off to the in-laws for Chinese food and an animated discussion on what David is up yo lately (his Hungarian girlfriend, school, etc etc)

BHK and I had to duck out early – "school night" for me – but we got some fun convo in, Larry and I discussed the banjo, and had a nice visit.

Just because I was bored for about a half-moment, here’s me being mind controlled by Starro, the conqueror.

hail starro!

9078 – sunday

Blueberry Pancakes for breakfast! A good sized crew was here earlier, David, Larry, Chris, BHK and I all scarfed down tasty flapjacks… Before that David and I played a little lego star wars on the Wii while BHK prepped in the kitchen.

After Breakfast, BHK busted out the a sailing ships and seafaring puzzle, to work on while David and I finished out game… after he headed out, Larry and Chris high-tailed it… so BHK and I were left with about 994 pieces of the 1000 bit puzzle to put together.

I took a little break midday to rest my back, as it was still pretty sore, but got up at about 4 to have some late snacks (too late for a full blown lunch), and watched the soup, some eddie izzard, and we went back to the ol’ puzzle. More Izzard in the background while we sorted pieces and just had some nice family time.

I’d say we got about 90% of the puzzle done before I started to really ache again… we rested in the living room and caught up with a little more tv, and now it’s time for bed. Hot showers and heating pads seem to help the most. Larry and Chris never came by to have supper with us, but Larry did drop off leftover chinese food… BHK did Beans and rice, while I had tofu and broccoli.

9077 – Saturday

March Begins! David spent Friday night at his pal in DC’s place, but returned to us this morning… after my shots, we headed out to the Museum of Visionary art w/ BHK and David, and then to Edgar Allan Poe‘s burial site (and his 13 year old at wedding-time cousin-wife ) at Westminster (little known factoid, BHK was the tour guide to the Poe site, and has keys to the crypt there.)

Most of what was done and seen can be expressed in photos… sadly, you’re not supposed to take pics inside. ( I did sneak one with the camera phone , however.) clicking on items below will go to larger images. No ghosts captured at the graveyard, but I had fun doing some more stitching.

My favorite bit was probably the giant bird, nest and mirrored egg outside the museum. The egg glittered like an 8 foot tall disco ball in the setting sun.

To be honest, the interfaith art exhibit didn’t do a lot for me… I was more interested in the permanent items, including the kinetic sculptures art cars, and painted screens.

Guy in the green hoodie is David, BHK’s cousin – I think he had a nice time with us. BHK managed to dodge my best efforts at capturing her candidly.

We caught up with Larry and Chris after sundown – stopped off at cheeburger cheeburger for frings and shakes! My back was tricking up, so I begged off the jam session- hitting the sack with a heating pad early tonight.

9074 – Thursday

Chinese food tonight! Yum, and Hooray!

BHK and David went to the thrift store today – brought home some treasures :

She got me a comic book of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham‘s first appearance in Marvel Tales (Tails). I actually dug Steve Mellor’s art in Goose Rider and the cover even more than the main story.

A black embroidered shirt, and a yellow sweatshirt, both in excellent condition.

Also picked up a pretty broad assortment of books – to be cataloged later.

Also, squid shake.

Cancel that.

After Din-din, we jammed a bit – David on acoustic guitar, Larry on mandolin, and me on the bass. It was fun, but I was full of food and very sleepy, so we cut it pretty short.


The DORmino concept uses an oversized mousepad to soak up the bleedout warmth of a laptop, which embedded electronics convert and transmit to power a wireless mouse. No need to recharge, no dead batteries to pollute the environment.

I need something like that to charge my electronics, based on the warmth I throw off… If I can knock out a baby or a small animal with my temperature, surely the therms could keep my blackberry and digicam juiced up for when I want to use em! How handy would that be for other stuff… a trickle charger in the sofa to keep the remote powered!

I’m just saying.


Looks like the one over-enthusiastic and socially frustrated gamer-type on the icehouse mail list is taking an indefinite leave of absence. I wonder what it’ll be like with a better signal-to-noise ratio ? Half the reason I lost interest in pyramid games and participation on the list was due to that guy… maybe the group will get back into friendly design mode rather than debates about wiki formatting and award shows.


Note to self – make a ghost statue.


Pretty keen – Microwave glucose sensor.

For diabetics, the daily routine of pricking their finger to check blood-sugar levels can be an annoying and inconvenient task. But now, a Baylor University researcher has developed an electromagnetic sensor that could provide diabetics a noninvasive alternative to reading their blood glucose levels, and new research shows the sensor works and is effective.

9073 – Wednesday – Heed my warning!

David came by tonight – arrived at about 8pm. He’ll be here through the weekend! Larry came over for a bit and we all had a little powwow after BHK’s tasty supper of faux chicken in real yummy noodles and mixed veg.

Tomorrow after work, I suspect we’ll be jamming a bit at the blue house… Larry and David on guitar, me on bass.. have a few amps over there already, and we can get a little loud if we like.


Hitler, Frankenstein battle for votes in India

Think Barack Hussein Obama has it rough campaigning for president with a name like that? The Illinois senator has nothing on Frankenstein Momin. Or Billy Kid Sangma. Or Adolf Lu Hitler Marak.


Bill Hicks died fourteen years ago yesterday.

From his positive drug story – “Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”


Random Scotto factoid. I’ve been accused of being a psychic more than a few times.

Ray, you might want to move that, before the kitties knock it over. (Ok, that’s an easy one.. but you… the one in the plaid. Put that down.)
