9788 – ugh.

Ugh… really feeling out of it today. Not sure if it’s medicine, combination of aches, or just having a "hormonal" day, but I think I’m being overly stressed out and hypersensitive.

Pictures from this afternoon’s walk – trying to stop back or noggin from bugging me.

Quest for Kitties, Froggies, Cute Kids, Bunnies and Flowers! Mission Accomplished!

Below is the neighborhood rabbit, a frog found in the bottom of our swimming pool, Pumpkin the cat, the north beach boardwalk pov of the bay, many flowers, a cat that looks a lot like a brown version of Pyewacket, Neighborhood Kitties of all sorts – tuxedo, tabby, kitten and adult.

BHK cheered me up with the walk, her very presence, and just letting me rest today.

9218 – Monday

Some pictures to help me catch up –

Baltimore aquarium / Barnes and noble / walkabout after work Friday – taken with palmtop – low quality when embiggened, mostly.

After work on Friday, BHK picked me up, and had a great idea… to hit Baltimore and go to the aquarium.. it’s open late on Friday, and much less likely to be crowded as it is on the weekends. I was all for it, so off we went. After the Aquarium, we had supper at Blu Bamboo… a pretty decent little Asian fusion joint. They were getting ready to close, but we managed to sneak in for some Pad Thai, cucumber sushi, cream cheese wontons and more… I think we crossed every type of Asian food short of Mother Russia. After supper, we hit a converted power plant that’s now a Barnes and Noble – very cool design – smokestacks are still there, everything is very clean and metal-riveted or industrial brick looking. I like the escalator… the sides are transparent, so you can see the gears and belts working. Favorite fish – still the skates and rays.

On Sunday, we went to Alice’s party.. she has a lot of nice folks surrounding her…. and her son is becoming a giant! at 14, he’s grown about a head taller than when I’d last seen him (about 14 months prior.)

Rainy, cool morning today.. was our spring weekend just a glimpse of the future?

9047 – Friday

I’d love to get this for Todd or Kevin. Kev, because he loves the ol’ stratofortress…. and Todd, because he needs a way to get out of the office in style.

Me… I’d rather have a bunch of these stone pillows piled in a corner like an ogre’s cave… a place to curl up and snooze comfortably.


I don’t think that a white woman as president would change the world any more or less than having a black man in the office. Both *seem* like they’d be a big change, as far as the USA goes… but not so much in the international arena… but I don’t think it would make such a big difference after a brief period of barking by racists and sexists… (on all sides of the fence)

Margaret Thatcher or Idi Amin, anyone? (or Aquino and Mandela, for the positive side of things) Those should prove that if anything, genitalia and skin color shouldn’t mean too much regarding national leadership. There are good and bad leaders of all stripes.

When I hear that someone is voting on the basis of gender or skin tone, my mind plays a sing-song voice of “I’m voting for Joe So-and-so, because of his dreamy blue eyes”…. it makes as much sense to me. This isn’t friggin’ American Idol… vote for the “talent”, not the “style”.

What happened to judging folks by the content of their character? That alone is the big reason I can’t get behind Clinton. She’s a good politician… but I think that by being so, she’ll tell anyone what they want to hear to get elected… and she hasn’t done a very good job of showing consistency on any issues I care about. Obama may be as bad or worse… but I don’t have the huge pile of information like I do on Hillary. I can’t in good conscience put a vote toward her… I don’t even want her as VP, which I suspect she’ll get.

Um.. Ann Coulter supports Clinton over Bill McCain, because McCain isn’t conservative enough? Isn’t that like getting an endorsement from the devil?

Slang of the moment (via BHK) – Electile Dysfunction. – The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year.

Ok… enough with the politics. Waxy Monkey Frogs are awesome, and I love them.


Yikes.. Microsoft to buy Yahoo… I hope not. I’ve long enjoyed Y!’s style and reliability. I fear that might get lost in the shuffle. My biggest worries are for flickr…. I’m glad I found the downloader when I did.


Rainy-rain rain today. I like it.


Added bonus about tomorrow… since it’s a Saturday, I didn’t have to fudge anything to take the day off.

I’m fully aware of the fact that my nose will be buttered by BHK sometime tomorrow… and I don’t have a chance of dodging it. I imagine that caches of grease are already placed throughout the entire county, just waiting to be used. I know it is an expression of love.

8248 – Thursday, is it?

Ramma-frazzin’ ding dang gig. I had to bail on the dinner party last night because of last minute tech issues. I felt like a heel cutting out 5 hours before the scheduled time, especially since I was looking so forward to the get-together. There’s another one next Wednesday… I’m going to do everything I can to make it.


The Grampa poll yesterday yielded some very nifty results and replies!


Tonight I go over to RS’s place and set the computer up so Gabe can burn himself some music safely (on top of making sure RS’s machine is up to snuff for the rest of the office’s duties.)


Friday, I’ll see Mom and Wilton off for their trip to Brazil for a week. I’ll be on call again, so they’ll have to swing by my place, but that works… We’ll do Chinese food to ring in St. Patty’s.


LONDON (Reuters) – Bats, whales and dolphins use it to communicate. Baby rodents call their mothers with it and now a rare Chinese frog has shown it can hear and respond to ultrasounds, scientists said on Wednesday. Continue reading 8248 – Thursday, is it?
