———————-

1. I didn’t own any jeans for over 20 years before I got married (Just khakis, and knee-shorts, etc). Now I own 3 pairs, and they’re my favorite weekend clothes to wear.

2.I can’t wear boots, ice skates, or any long-necked "slip your toe in" type of shoe, due to dropfoot and nerve damage on my left side.

3. Every time I see my wife or one of the kitties, I feel especially blessed.

4. I’m a limited vegetarian (I’ll eat eggs and dairy… and crustaceans. – Nothing with less than 5 legs or more than 1 foot.)

5. I think that it is usually pretty easy to be kind to others, and it surprises me when some people seem to go out of their way to be cruel or hostile to strangers.

6. I doubt the existence of the supernatural, but love the stories.

7. I suspect there is life elsewhere in the universe, but doubt that it has visited Earth in a constructed craft.

8. I turn 40 this weekend. I alternately feel about 14 and about 60. So I guess I’m averaging about 37.

9. I have been run over by a car. I was riding a scooter, and the car was doing at least twice my speed. I really don’t like being tailgated, and if I have my druthers, I would pull over to let them pass, or slow to a snail’s crawl so they would do minimal damage to my vehicle. .

10. I haven’t had a driver’s license for about 15 years. (I plan to get one sometime in February, if I can get my Florida Records)

11. When I was about 15 I had a Ferret named Freya (renamed from Mitzi when I got her) – who was poisoned by someone in the neighborhood. I would still like to know why – she never hurt anybody, was friendly and fun-loving.

12. I suffer from Mama-bear levels of defensiveness of my loved ones. DO NOT HURT THEM, or I will maul you.

13. I’ve had problems with my back since I was 16 – ruptured a disc at the library of all places, moving books. I may need surgery again to repair ongoing damage there.

14. I have kept an online journal and website for over 10 years. (about the last 8 years can be found at http://scottobear.livejournal.com )

15. I often overcompensate for being a big guy by being either too shy, or too friendly.

16. I love being able to peek in on the kitties remotely. ( http://pyecam.scottobear.com/ and http://newtcam.scottobear.com/ )

17. I’m a sucker for social gaming – board games, tabletop rpgs, cards, the Wii:whatever brings friends to meet face to face and have fun. (I’m really bad at Chess, but love playing it)

18. I believe in love, and think it’s a greater motivator than fear, greed or pain. (and those things are amazing motivators)

19. I wish that I could help more people. I also wish that more people would try to help me, and each other, too.

20. I helped to write software that assists in the recovery of missing children. (Something like 400+ recoveries at last count)

21. If I were able, my phone would only accept incoming emergency calls. (I really don’t like to use the phone much)

22. I love movies that incorporate at least a few of the following (some are redundant, and there are often exceptions): giant monsters, monkeys, witty dialogue, martial arts, comedy, are not a remake, 3-d glasses, horror, action, cartoons/CGI, fleshed-out characters and a well written story.

23. I think some things *are* black and white, but most are shades of gray.

24. I would love to use the wind off of the Chesapeake Bay to power our house.

25. I mentally render anthropomorphic almost everything I see.

Still pretty darned psyched about going to see Punxatawney Phil on my B’day. I am concerned a bit about the weather, though. Last year, it was 27 degrees, not horrid, but pretty dang cold.

It’s been snowing there all this week, and it’s only going to get chillier!

We should stock up the love cube with some hot cocoa, cider, and plenty of blankets, too. Oh, and plenty of Polka Music for the 5 hour drive. 🙂

Using one word for each letter of the alphabet, make a list of the words you most associate with yourself or that you feel best describe you.

Best? I’ll just go with first that comes to mind. Maybe I’ll come back and fill in more detail – maybe not.

Allison – my love.
Barefoot
Creaky – Back, hip, jaw… a little work around the joints would be nice.
Determined – not much of a quitter here.
Eyesight – one of my better physical traits, at least as far as viewing the surface of things. No x-ray vision, sadly.
Food – When food is prepared to my liking, I get a sense of comfort. BHK is an amazing cook. MD has far better food than FL, too.
Goofy
Helpful
Intelligent
Journal-y
Kind
Large. (I’m fairly close to Bluto‘s not as mean Twin – tall and overweight both)
Monkeys!
Newton
Orcs
Pyewacket
Queries (both SQL, and everyday life)
Reading
Sleepy 
Telephone-hater
Ubuntu
Vegetarian – (Not too severe – I’ll do eggs/diary, and the occasional sea creature with more than 4 legs)
Wombat
Xorn. Why? Because I have a soft spot in my heart for tripod creatures… the mouth-on-top eating precious metals and gems is a bonus. What was I going to say? X-ray? Xylophone? I nearly went with XXXL, but I figure it’s covered at L.
Yeti
Zombies (though they are getting a trifle passe’)

9537 – December is Here!

Leave a comment

Monday- Off to Physical Therapy after work, and BHK made tasty brats & kraut (with apples and green peppers – veggie bratwurst for me)

Visiting the Ortho tomorrow – PT is not progressing as well as I’d hoped – maybe something more aggressive is in order.

I can do stretches and light aerobics – I’d like to try some weight training / weight lifting to see if I can strengthen up better than I have.

Getting back into Kolchak: The Night Stalker – the episodes have held up pretty well over time. I really liked the UFO episode – ("They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be…") – The monster was never really seen, but it had a good vibe. ( The Moss Monster "Père Malfait" was nifty to see too… I’m surprised Wikipedia doesn’t have an entry for that particular beastie. I may fix that later on.)

BHK and I watched the Xmas episode of Monk – not the best, but it was worth it to see Leland sans moustache. I wonder what gigs the actors will get, now that the show is pretty much in the can?

The Psych Holiday show was fairly good, too, but the police side of the cast was pretty thin.

Leave a comment

BHK made some yummy stroganoff noodles with pseudo-meat patties… really tasty and delicious, though I’m still totally gaga about the shepherd’s pie.

Took it easy tonight – I found out that Amy won’t be here until Monday or so, due to her mom having some health issues – nothing new, and I think her mom will be OK. I hope Amy’s feeling all right when she gets here, too.

Not much mention of today’s historical significance at the office, and in town short of seeing more American flags here and there. Radio and TV however had it going constantly. Folks seem to forget the pentagon side of things, with the towers filling up the majority of memory.

Don Gorske of has eaten 23,000 Big Macs over the past 36 years. Wow! That’s got to be at least a two or three pounds of meat, total.

Meme of the moment:

::three joys::

  • when work is productive
  • down time
  • waking up next to bhk with newton and pye in the bed

::three fears::

 

  • accidentally hurting others
  • failing myself and others
  • dangerously predatory animals, including people

::three current obsessions::

  • Immediate Family
  • Games (both Electronic and tabletop)
  • Middleman TV show

::three surprising facts::

  • I am in the habit of anthropomorphising just about everything I see (at least in my head)
  • I am not as nice as I seem, but I think I’m still a nicer guy than most
  • Gorillas use tools! (It was a surprise to me!)

Leave a comment

Wednesday Night – Veggie Protein-spheres (rather than meatballs) in sauce, homemade pickles, naan bread – made for a tasty sammich with sweet potato fries on the side. BHK and I were pretty dang sleepy, so we sort of crashed on the couch after supper. I got back up, but BHK was down for the count. I wrote a bit here, and now we’re off to the sack. Until later, dear journal!

Roger Ebert is not a fan of 3-D movies.

Ask yourself this question: Have you ever watched a 2-D movie and wished it were in 3-D? Remember that boulder rolling behind Indiana Jones in “Raiders of the Lost Ark?” Better in 3-D? No, it would have been worse. Would have been a tragedy. The 3-D process is like a zombie, a vampire, or a 17-year cicada: seemingly dead, but crawling out alive after a lapse of years. We need a wooden stake.

Oh… BHK is going to disagree there!


Latest meme making the rounds – Alphabetty spaghetti

Attached or Single – Well attached, indeed!

Best Friend – BHK

Cake or Pie – Man, don’t make me choose! Do brownies count as cake? Probably cake.

Day of Choice -Weekend days are best – Saturday. Or should I go all clever and say payday or birthday?

Essential Item – PDA – it’s full of books and my doodlepad!

Favorite Color – Rust/orange and forest green

Gummy Bears or Worms – bears. Or better yet, gummy chicken feet or army men!

Hometown – Boston, MA… or Fort Lauderdale, FL depending on time spent there

Favorite Indulgence – Relaxing all weekend with BHK

January or July – January… but If I had to pick any month, I’d go with October.

Kids – are cute and fun, mostly… and are also a lot of work and a huge responsibility, too.

Life isn’t complete without – Love. (My first thought was Death. Sad but true.)

Marriage Date – 10/25/06!

Number of Brothers and Sisters – One Brother, no sisters.

Oranges or Apples – Oranges in juice, apples in pies. If forced, I’d have to pick oranges, just because I find the rind fascinating and fragrant.

Phobias – Not really phobia, but I’m extra redoubled careful about the kitties getting loose.

Quotes – It’s a long one from Bill Hicks –

You’ve been fantastic and I hope you enjoyed it. There is a point, is there a point to all of this? Let’s find a point. Is there a point to my act? I would say there is.


I have to.


The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly colored and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…”


And we… kill those people.


Ha ha


“Shut him up.”


“We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.”


Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because: It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.


Reasons to Smile – Lots of ’em… Family, friends, a clever psaage in a book, soap bubbles, winning a video game, smelling baking bread or fesh cut grass, thinknig of something new or in a different way…. too many to list.

Season of Choice – Autumn, especially with color changes, cool weather and harvest time.

Tag Seven Peeps – no can do, buckaroo. Just let me know if you run with it, whoever does take it.

Unknown Fact About Me – Hard, with a decade of journals online… I’d say that most folks don’t know that I was a very quiet kid in high school – more stand-back than joining the crowd, save for a very small group of friends.

Vegetable – I do like the broccoli, but corn is mighty.

Worst Habit – I’m a bit of a clutter-bug, and often fail to pick up after myself. I’m trying to be better about it, though.

X-ray or Ultrasound – MRI.. but of those two, Ultrasound.

Your Favorite Food – Variable. I’m craving sushi right now, but I really like Thai / Italian / Mexican dishes across the board. BHK is an awesome [edited to add:[ COOK! COOK, I SAY! CHEF, EVEN!]

Zodiac Sign – Aquarius… or for those of a more eastern bent – Earth Monkey

1 year ago – Found money, nice day voicepost, hp lovecraft’s 117th bday, free audio books, great love stories, Autumn training day, ren-fest coming along with bhk’s b-day

2 years ago – mr jones, fort lauderdale happenings / movies, walkabout basics, the shield, nose buttering in comments.

Sunday – 9400

Larry’s Birthday – He made pancakes for us all… Tigger nearly escaped the house, and is now no longer allowed on the porch.. purely an indoor kitty.

BHK made a lemon cake, an we gave him a lemon meringue pie and tickets to the bluegrass festival. (and the first three lethal weapon movies on dvd)

Adam brought a keen gift of fridge and microwave combo for his workshop… and stocked it with 5 cases of soda and water.

After the get-together, BHK and I headed home to get some rest… I think we fell asleep on the couch within moments of landing there. We were awakened by neighbor Daniel (10) at the door, wanting to visit and gab because he was bored. We talked a lot about social topics a 10 year old might have, like school, movies etc. – Buckaroo Banzai was on, mute dint the background, and was an interesting juxtaposition of listening to the little guy gab.

He eventually went home, and we had sloppy joes and garlic fries for supper – super yummy.

Danny and Mom phoned… or I phoned them, I forget which. I think I called Danny, the momster called me. Just general catching up, both are doing ok.


Autumn is coming… that’s when BHK gets her pumpkin eyes.

Power out at the house tonight, so we’re off to Mama Lucia’s for dinner! Looks like strong rains and downed trees knocked out all of North Beach and Chesapeake beach! [edit – power came back up at 2am – accorting to the computer, it went down at 5:25pm)


CNBC reports that Netflix’ shipping systems have been at least partially broken since Tuesday. They managed to ship nothing on Tuesday, half of what they were supposed to on Wednesday, and nothing today. What’s the deal? Apparently the outage affects 1/3 of their customers (including good ol’ Scotto and BHK), to whom Netflix is trying to figure out the best way to refund some cash. They’re still not sure what the root of the problems are, so in essence, they have no idea how to fix it. Be prepared for a few more days of outages, unless it turns out that it’s a super easy fix that’s much harder to diagnose than to repair.

Random Scotto Factoid –

I’m an avid reader but some very simple words are sometimes mental stumbling blocks.

Examples:

Singer. Someone who sings… but my brain always reads it as someone who singes. As in: What is that singer superficially burning today? I guess I’m not altogether wrong.

Also Bewilder is not equal to “Be Wilder“… but that’s how I hear it when I read it. conversely, I read Wilder as “Will-der”. I have no idea how I mixed tohse up as a kid.

I know the old gags about manslaughter / “Mans Laughter” and Therapist / “The Rapist”, but my mind never really ripped those words in the wrong way.

Walk is a word that just looks wrong to me… as does talk and balk. Ls and Ks just don’t jibe to me.

Had the blues, went for a walk on the boardwalk, took some pictures of flowers and crabbers,napped, watched some tube, had veggie cheeseburgers and salad with chocolate mousse for dessert! yum. Grocery shopping, watched dr who, and first ep of primeval…I liked the end of the dr who 2-parter (He’s a professor at a school in 1913, and is in deep cover…unknown even to himself.)… but the punishments went by pretty swiftly.

some pictures from our walk –


S6302153. S6302150. S6302149
S6302141 - spiral staircase. S6302140. S6302135. .
S6302131. S6302133. S6302142.

More here – bhk took the excellent flower photos – I did more of the crab boat stuff. I think BHK looks especially beutiful in that middle bottom pic, though I’d had a rough morning.

My blues have mostly faded now… I’m a bit exhausted but doing ok.



meme swiped from eryx_uk

01. How has LJ changed your life?
Got me married to the wonderful and love of my life BHK and introduced to friends both new and thought to be long lost.

02. What do you do before bedtime?
watch some tube, play a board game or read

03. What are you going to have for dinner tonight?
We had burgers and salad! yum!

04. What is the ONE place you want to go before you die if you had the money and the time?
I’m pretty open to traveling and experiencing new things.. I have no one place I must see… but I want to see as much as I can!

05. What scares you?
The thought of hurting others, even accidentally.

06. What do you do in your free time?
Walkabout with BHK, playing games both digital and analog, relaxing

07. If you could speak another language (meaning one you currently don’t know), what would it be?
I’d love to be fluent in German, so I could talk more effectively to relatives overseas.

08. What personal belonging do you have with you everywhere you go?
I take a lot of stuff with me, but the most personal is either a gold $1 coin or the pressed penny.

09. What was your favorite song or musical group when you were young?
Definitely a Beatles kid, but if young counts as high school (sophomore – 1985) than I’d lean to They Might Be Giants or Maybe the Talking Heads.

10. Are you a risk taker?
Depends on the risk. I won’t bet my life on things, but I’ll venture a gamble here and there. Not generally.

11. Is being tagged fun?

12. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
No one tagged me. I nabbed the meme myself. Eryx is a nice guy and I’d like to meet him in person someday.

15. Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?
As long as I’m married to BHK, I prefer married.

16. How many children do you want to have, if any?
I have no idea.

17. Is reality objective or subjective?
Objective, but some may *think* it’s subjective.

18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
What does that even mean? The one on the left? The one I’d be more likely to get along with in the long run? Heck if I know.

19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for $10,000,000?
Not likely. That’s too weird a scenario for me to buy into. Besides, I’m married!

20. What is your favorite color?
Rust-orange at the moment.

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?…

The Queen’s Confidante

Congrats! Only 5-7% of the population score this!

The Queen’s Confidante is the first to hear the beat of a different drum. Many plunge into the avant garde experience and generally set the trend for their friends. They are more in touch with reality using their senses but this makes them want to live for the ‘here and now’. The Confidante is full of charm and may flow with compliments even if it isn’t deserved. Rather than write a poem on the beauty of life – they would rather live out the written story of beauty.

The Queen’s Confidante is usually peaceful and easygoing in nature. They usually adopt a ‘live and let live’ approach to life. They take things at their own pace and live for the moment. They may be quiet but are pleasant, considerate and caring. They may not be inclined to debate or air their views, but of course their values are important to them. They will solve problems as they arise especially if it concerns people. Generally the Confidante is one who develops great team spirit through the promotion of cooperation. They will only repeat facts without placing too much spin or interpretation on them. Because of this they may be the best mediators.

The Confidante is sensitive to its environment, and much more perceiving than others with regards to the physical world. They can notice variations in behavior of others. They are highly conscious of companions and friends, but they prefer to let others direct. This ‘Pawn’ is rarer than others because they are emotionally well rounded with a great degree of empathy. Because of this empathy, they can be overly concerned with ‘feelings’. They may even sacrifice their ideals and not contribute enough, especially if they don’t wish to exercise criticism.Geotarget Geotarget

So, midweek again, is it, dear journal?

Not much to talk about, save for a tasty thai-style currey cabbage soup courtesy of BHK. Very, very tasty!


Wha? Belgium’s government collapsed yesterday, and I didn’t hear anything about it? I don’t know why it strikes me as so bizarre – you hear about Russian and African nations going under all the time. Belgium seemed so.. I don’t know… stable? I wonder how long before the Hercule Perot jokes start rolling by… or more likely, How Budwiser beer becoming Belgian took down the whole country.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — Belgium’s government collapsed Tuesday, unable to resolve an enduring divide over more self-rule for the country’s Dutch and French-speakers. The gap was so wide the premier suggested the end of Belgium as a country was looming.


King Albert II immediately began political discussions with lawmakers to try to resolve the situation, talks expected to take several days. He did not formally accept the resignation of government offered by Premier Yves Leterme late Monday, so Leterme’s government stays on in a caretaker capacity for now.


In an unusual declaration, the premier said Belgium’s constitutional crisis stems from the fact that “consensus politics” across Belgium’s widening linguistic divide no longer works.




io9 nicely sums up why I like middleman.


Another one of those quiz / memes those kids are all doing these days.



1) In five words, explain what ended your last friendship?
stress and poor diplomacy skills

2) How was your prom night?
Skipped it – hung out with friends elsewhere, instead. I was pretty anti-establishment paired with shy.

3) Do you have any famous relatives?
We all do, if you go far enough back! Seriously… I’m from assorted Bavarian and Russian stock. Maybe the most famous and immediate living relative is Peter von Berg. Ever hear of him, dear journal? Thought not. He’s been in in lots of stuff, though I’ve never met him in person. See yesterday’s entry about more distant relatives of fame. I guess it’s not really fame if you’ve never heard of the guy.

4) Have you taken out loans to pay for college?
Nope. I did it “the hard way”. However, I have no student loans of my own to pay off now.

5) What did you receive last in the mail?
Part of BHK’s birthday present!

6) What beverages have you drank today?
Iced Tea, Water, diet cherry pepsi, lemonade/iced tea mixed

7) Do you leave nasty messages on people’s answering machines?
Not as a rule, no. I often don’t bother leaving a message, though – most of my friends are bad about voicemail checks, and prefer to call me back without listening to it, anyhow.

8) What’s the most painful surgical procedure you’ve had done?
Back surgery was probably the most extended and painful, though it helped more than my back hurt prior.

9) What is out your back door?
Our back yard, garden, possibly a turtle, lots of frogs, maybe a little tuxedo kitty wandering around, assorted finches, cardinals, and jays and fence-gate leading to the world beyond.

My initial answer was smart-alec-y and inspired by CCR:

There’s a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels – look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn!
A dinosaur Victrola list’ning to Buck Owens, tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
A flyin’ spoon and a wond’rous apparition provided by magician.


10) Do you usually go out on the weekends?
It seems that we at least visit family one of the days. Staying in happens, too. We generally get a little air on Saturday mornings, at least.

11) Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
I don’t really worry about it either way… if it knotted it in cornrows or shaved it all off, I’d be more concerned.

12) Have you ever visited a planetarium or do you even know what one is?
Many times… I like them when they have comfy seats and good a/c on a summer day.

13) What is your favorite flavor of pudding?
I’m pretty much a chocolate fan. I don’t know if there’s a commercially available pudding flaver that I dislike. Pistachio, Butterscotch, Banana and vanilla are all fine by me.

14) Describe your keychains:
outside of keys and rings, there’s a piton, an assortment of barcode fobs for store discounts (hair cuttery, Calvery county library, casual male, winn dixie, cvs, giant and ace hardware), a mini flashlight, a usb drive, a tiny maryland snow globe, remote of the locks on the element, and a universal tv remote.

15) Where do you keep your change?
In my left front pocket, or in a big plastic utz pretzel jar by my desk.

16) When was the last time you got up and spoke in front of a large crowd?
How large is large? About 25 people at the last employee meeting – maybe a week ago?

17) What kind of winter coat do you have?
double coat… a heavy outer one with a polyfill inner quilted.. one can be zipped into the other on very cold days.

18) What was the weather like on your graduation day?
Sunny and mild. I did not attend my graduation. I got my diploma and moved on. (see prom, #2 above)

19) Do you sleep with the door to your bedroom open or closed?
Open – Newton and Pye like to roam the house unhindered.

20) Is there anything purple within 20 feet of you?
A plum-colored chair is to my rear left, about 5 feet from me.

21) What is the strangest thing you’ve put in the microwave?
Grapes, or marhmallows.. grapes are more interesting.

22) Can you speak any Japanese?
I know some words, but nothing serious. Some foods, greetings and such.

23) Do you look good in the color yellow?
I do ok… I prefer cooler colors- blues, greens, etc.

24) Do you spit or smoke?
Nope and nope. also, yuck, and yuck.

25) What is your favorite color(s)?
Rust / Orange – Forest Green

26) Ever played an instrument?
Baritone, Tuba, Sousaphone, Recorder, a smidgen of Alto Sax – Learning the Bass Guitar and Uke when I’m not procrastinating.

27) Do you believe in Bigfoot, or Sasquatch?
I suspect the Yeti and suck xeno-kin are unlikely, but remotely possible. If you would like to hire me to pursue him, I’d be happy to be a bigfoot hunter for the rest of my life, or until I find one, whichever comes first.

28) Ever been to a palm reader?
Not professionally. I’ve had readings from hippie friends and such.

29) Did they tell you the truth about your future?
I don’t know! My future hasn’t happened yet! Nothing they forcast has occured yet, to my knowledge.

30) What are you thinking about at this very moment?
I was feeling a little out of sorts today. I wonder why? Sort of a free-floating malaise. I started feeling better this evening than I did this morning and last night, then got worse, and now I’m better again. I’d really like to pop the hood of my brain and see what’s in there without all the subconscious stuff clouding issues. I feel sorry for any mentalist rummaging around in my briain – the mind is organized but a lot of clutter in there, too.

31) Have you ever received a black eye?
Yup – from fists and inanimate objects.

32) What is your biggest current disappointment?
That there are only 24 hours in a day… lots of stuff to do, but for fun and for life improvement.

33) What are some of your favorite drinks?
Sun tea, Arnold Palmer (lemonade mixed with iced tea), diet cream soda, diet cherry vanilla dr pepper / diet cherry pepsi

34) Do you have anything that hurts on your body at this time?
Let’s see.. a quick mental spot check for pain. In varying but low levels – left ankle, left knee, middle back, right hip, base of neck, behind left eye. Most of the pain is very minor at the moment, like a muscle ache or nerve pinch. No agony.

35) Have you ever ridden in a taxi?
Many times. I prefer the water taxi to any on land.

36) What is the last alcoholic drink you had?
A pair of raspberry ciders last weekend, with the dagwood sammich Yummy!

37) Did you do anything special last night?
Spent time home alone with BHK at dinner and watched Middleman… doesn’t get much better than that!

38) What is your very favorite food?
Heck if I know! I’m currently in the mood for Joss sushi, just because I’ve not had it in a long while. I lean towards Americanised “Fusion” versions of Mexican, Thai Curry or Japanese food. If I had my druthers, I’d go for a tempura veggie roll with some peanut sauce tossed on right now.
