Book fair in Annapolis – taking it slow and easy though. Yard sale, and sat in on a panel of writers. Saw the Wayne Alan – writer of Magical Meatless Meals. More in-depth reviews to follow.

Scholastic was there – lots of flashbacks to the days when filling out a little strip of paper and ordering books through school came back. 

Book fair was at the Keys school private education pre-k – 12- the mascot is the obezegs (Gazebo backwards)

Also shown – Easter egg tree, gazebo roof, and some video of the local color.

Slow to get up – Aiee monday, indeed. It took me a good hour or two to shake off the morning sleepies.

Made it to work with time to spare, I was welcomed by Franklin-cat – I’m going to get treats for him later.

Batman Brave & the Bold continues to be exceptional  – I really liked the recent Joker’s 50’s design is … also "brake, choke, throttle, " my kind of car! comment was perfect.

Speaking of Throttle – Comcast returned – didn’t call BHK to let her know they had come by – seems they had throttled down our connection because they couldn’t figure out how to properly bill us? What? Anyhow, it is  back up to speed now. Just as well – Verison’s service isn’t in our area – our only other alternative is satellite-type stuff – Hughes net. That’s the price we pay for living in a rural-ish area, I guess!

Grabbed subs, did $2 worth of scratch-off tickets (and won$2! – broke even), and headed home to watch Hancock  tonight – I thought it was pretty enjoyable, all told. I think the thing was to not expect "meteor man – drunk hero" throughout the whole film. I do have to wonder about the other super though… why was Hancock the only person being a hero? Just seeing the movie made me wonder if a Damage Control film was a viable thing – a ton of collateral damage.

I just figured out the cartoon I was whistling the song to earlier (singing to pyewacket and newt) – An Itch in Time – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-zA16E-_NY about 1:30 into the video

9634 – Sunday – March Starts!

Leave a comment

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!

Happy Fat Tuesday!

In-laws came over and we all had pancakes for Dinner tonight – along with some deviled / boiled eggs, it made for a tasty end of the day.

Larry and I tried spotting the green comet Lulin tonight, but to no avail – the neighbor’s house blocked out that part of the horizon. Maybe sometime this weekend, we can head out to the boardwalk and try to spot a section that isn’t too lit up.

Word of the Day – EVOE! (from the Conception of Dionysus)

"Zeus stretched out on Semele’s bed in the form of a bull with human limbs. Then he was a panther. Then a young man with vine shoots in his curls. Finally he settled into that most perfect of shapes: the serpent. Zeus prolonged their union like some story without end, a rehearsal of the life of the god about to be generated. The snake slithered over Semele’s trembling body and gently licked her neck. Then, gripping her bust in one of his coils, wrapping her breasts in a scaly sash, he sprinkled her not with poison but with liquid honey. The snake was pressing his mouth against Semele’s mouth, a dribble of nectar trickling down onto her lips intoxicated her, and all the while vine leaves were sprouting up on the bed and there was a sound of drums beating in the darkness. The earth laughed. Dionysus was conceived just as Zeus shouted the name with which for centuries he was to be evoked: ‘Evoe!’"

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.

Saturday – timeline

Leave a comment

Filled in from laptop –

Saturday, February 21, 2009 10:35 AM

Been waiting at the doctors office for about 30 minutes now – longer time than usual to get shots.

BHK is getting blood work done – I’m more peeved that she has to wait than me – she has been fasting since last night and probably has some low blood sugar going on.

I’m just glad they have some juice available to her for afterward.

After we finish here, plans are for me to get a haircut, a spot of breakfast and then visit Miss Tigger for some love while the in-laws are out off town on a school field trip.

This weekend is primarily set to be for catching up with work – home and otherwise.

Supper last night was buffalo “chicken” patties – celery for BHK, pickles for me. Caught up with an episode of Burn Notice and Psych, and then we toddled off to bed. Straightforward evening.

10:49 AM

I am back from my shot- bhk getting blood work done now.

Good day sunshine going through my head, for no reason in particular. This week did not feel like a 4-day workweek. I hope next week is less demanding on my resources.

Britny’s girlfriend broke up with her the day before valentine’s day- kind of a punk maneuver. They’re best friends “with benefits” now, but are free to see other folks.  That sounds a bit like a death knell for a relationship to me, but who knows how it will work out for them?

Haven’t heard a lot from Jay or Sean lately – I suspect that that Duncan hasx been giving them quite a run for their money.

It’s pretty cold in the doc’s office… remodeled too – the carpet is making me feel a little dizzy, too.

11:10 AM

BHK is done with bloodwork – they gave her a caprisun? I thought real fruit juice was proper, not corn syrup? Ah well, we’ll get some breakfast / lunch at home – lots of good eats there.

11:20 AM

We go to Chessie’s for subs – I get veggie & cheese, BHK gets a pizza-steak sub. I opt out of getting a haircut at the barber shop next door, as they only take cash. 7-11 next door has drinks and dessert – BHK starts on a slim jim to get her system back.

11:35 AM

Fill up with Gas, and hit the Car wash! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-632554519355380271&hl=en


Noon

Time to peek in on Miss Tigger while the in-laws are gone and give her some food, too. Subs are lackluster.

8:00 PM

Back to feed and play with Tigger again – we brought a copy of "The Cat From Outer Space" to play with her in the room.

8:20 PM

Tigger is asleep. BHK is Asleep. I’m doing stuff on the computer, and am enjoying the old disney flick.

9:30 PM BHK is awake, Tigger is downstairs, Movie is over.

Well, Today was sure a Monday.

Early this morning the sewer backed up into the bathtubs,and overflowed the toilets. Gross, disgusting, yuck. Some sort of pipe issue there, but long story short, I worked form the house today. Still had access to the internet and phone, but a shower was right out. fortunately, the blue house is right up the street, so we could stop by and use the facilities as needs, but it’s still a hassle to plan ahead to use a bathroom or take a shower. This happened once last year, so the plumber is going to come out and replace the pvc pipe that has roots growing into it and replace it with something tougher – shouldn’t have to call anyone to roto-root out the issue again, unles tree roots become armor piercing.

so, I worked in my pjs, until a break time availed itself, and I took a quick shower between phone meetings and data repair.

After work, I was already home! BHK and I went out to Homestead garden store which was all decked out for the holidays (see the wrapped tree lights, and previous years)


Saw toy trains at homestead gardens – attached a vid from flickr, via cell phone. It was cuter in person!

We picked up a few holiday ornaments, all of which sum up one or both of our personalities:

A resin santa in green, a pair of little victorian postcard santas, and blown glass versions fo a pirate ship, a gorilla, a taco, and a zucchini. (pictures to follow, no doubt.) We also got a present or two, but I can’t speak of them here, in case they’re reading.

The place was essentially empty – a wonderful thing when you go christmas shopping on a Monday at 5:30 pm. They’re shoulder-to-elbow packed on weekends, and worse at this time of year.

Polished off the day by coming home, watching Big Bang Theory, and noshing on subway sammiches. (we opted out of chinese food, due to the latrine issue, and murphy’s law)

The Plumber should be by tomorrow, first thing in the morning – and David should by by after work tomorrow night. We’ll likely ge ttogether with the inlaws and hang out.

Seventh Day Adventists against Proposition 8

Leave a comment

Adventists Against Prop 8″ is an initiative started by a group of Adventist pastors, teachers and students in California who decided, out of their commitment to the historic Adventist principle of the separation of church and state, to voice their concerns about (1) the Seventh-day Adventist Church State Councils public support of California Proposition 8, the proposition that would amend the state constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry, and (2) the imposition of a fundamentally religious definition of marriage that this Proposition represents. Hundreds of Adventists from a broad range of backgrounds have joined this cause and signed a public petition asking the Church State Council to rescind its support of the proposition.

Please share this video with friends and family members. Visit http://AdventistsAgainstProp8.org to learn more.

Hm. good for them.

Went to Hard Times in College Park for supper after work. – Tasty – I had Veggie Chili in Frito pie format with a side of cornbread – BHK got the Chili Dog, which was monstrous.

According to identity management firm Cyber-Ark’s annual ‘Trust, Security & Passwords’ survey, a whopping 88% of IT administrators would steal CEO passwords, customer database, research and development plans, financial reports, M&A plans and the company’s list of privileged passwords if they were suddenly laid off. The survey also found that one third of IT staff admitted to snooping around the network, looking at highly confidential information, such as salary details and people’s personal emails.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BHK!!

Allison’s B’day! I buttered her nose while she was distracted by playing audiosurf. (Got it for $5 this last weekend.) I was a little disappointed that my mp3 of Christopher Walken reciting Poe’s “The Raven” was so linear.

As a gift / party-favor to all for BHK’s day – A GAZILLION Free to print and play games.

Oh BGG, how I thank the Internets you’re there.

If you’re not into free games, (or even if you are, dear journal) here’s a stop-motion zombie movie called Chainsaw Maid. Best zombie film this year. (from the same people who did Bloody Date )

No Lebanese Taverna Tonight – Falafel time must wait – instead we hit Gallo’s Deli – food is still pretty good. Not as superior as Selby, but only a block or two from the house. BHK opened the remainder for her loot tonight.

I got her an assortment of little trinket-treats – My faves were earring-studs in the style of mexican sugar skulls and a bottlecap pin with a pirate inside saying ARG in letter beads…. but I’m partial to things skully. I need to take a picture of BHK’s loot pile – other items were a lovey charm, a ouija board pin, and a horde of coupons to do / get things, from getting me in a good mood to a movie night with no snarky comments. (2 nights, if neither are Jane Austen-related).


1 year ago – BHK Bday, (buttered via nightstand dollop), lots of bayfest food and heat, parade, spidey lunchbox, tarot test

2 years ago – robo-post while I’m on vaykay with BHK, dragonfly-kitty pic

6 years ago – heroclix improvised weapons, deadly toys, poemtag

7 years ago – pirate joke, selectivity, amor, warning label poll

8 years ago – aliens operate on my body, rhymes, colors, stevie Geotarget

120 years ago – A plant grows in Mexteca, Mexico, which the natives call the “herb of prophecy.” A dose of it produces sleep similar in all respects to the hypnotic state. The subject answers with closed eyes all questions that are put to him, and is completely insensible. The pathologic state brings with it a kind of prophetic gift and doublesight. Furthermore he loses his will and is completely under the control of another. On returning to himself he remembers nothing of what he has done. –Excelsior Cottager, August 25, 1888.
