danny’s issues with the time-travelling, dimension-hopping show – Primeval.

In episode 1, when Steven is letting the monster chase him through the
halls of the elementary school, he pulls down the bookshelves that line
the hall to impede the monster’s pursuit of him.

This is very unrealistic. Those bookshelves must be secured to the
wall. That is an OSHA requirement in the United States! Even in
England I’m sure there is the equivalent-to-OSHA requirement to secure
tall book selves to the wall for safety. Unsecured tall bookshelves
could fall on a child.

I just want to go on record as saying that it is too unrealistic for
Steven to be able to easily topple the tall hallway bookshelves in the
elementary school.

#10820 – Monday the 20th.

Dr. D passed away last week. You’ll be fondly remembered. Thanks for introducing me to Umberto Eco, and not talking to me like a kid.

Tonight when I get home, we should be at the final clip for hanging up ornaments. The in-laws went to visit BHK’s grandparents pre-Christmas last weekend, so we deemed it better for them to rest up.

Tonight’s a lunar eclipse – I won’t be staying up to see it, but should be a nifty show!

Let’s summarize the weekend a bit.

To play catch up with pictures posted earlier – Went with Amy & Wanda  to Tuba Christmas @ Our Lady Star of the Sea church in St. Mary’s  and then had supper at Laughing Buddha – a lot of fun, and more interactive than I’d have thought.  Sunday was otherwise pretty exhausting for both BHK and me.

Saturday – we spotted a snowman by post office, and put some sideways disco balls out on the ground around our house to emulate snowfall. About all we did was listen to holiday music, and then I played a lot of Sam & Max

Friday – Rested at the house… didn’t do much of anything, really.

Finally, The Good Guys was canceled. Boo. I loved that show.

Icicles and Pye wants to play in the snow some more.

Nice Doctor Blasphemy reference in the riddler opening of Brave & the bold. “a bat divided” – Firestorm and a Triplicate Batman made for a fun twist, too.

9983 – Thursday

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.

9976 – too much tv.

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.

Not sure If I’ve mentioned this yet – but even if the new Land of the Lost movie totally stinks (which I doubt), I’m betting I’ll get a cool sleestak toy out of it being produced.

Pretty straightforward day – Back was hassling me qite a bit, but we managed to get groceries and hit the post office –

dinner of spaghetti and veggie meatballs… and asparagus / garden broccoli in rice wine vinegar and garlic. fantastic! Good feed for whiel we watched "so you think you can dance"

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.

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.

WalkGiants1

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.
