9633 – Saturday

Leave a comment

We did not leave the house at all today – BHK and I took care of chores, and just enjoyed each other’s company all day long.

Watched a lot of TV, and surfed a lot of net, too.

On the tube –

mr meaty – just gets more awesome every episode I see – I think we’ll buy the DVD of this should it become available.

Baby Yeti? Borg Robot replacement? Superpowers? Vampires? Girls doing shopping montages? Ninjas done right? Yes to all.

lucky number slevin – better than I thought it would be – a solid 7/10

burn notice – Chugging along nicely… hasn’t jumped the shark yet for me.

monk – magician episode – I wanted to like it, but it was far too easily solved and the magic castle needs blackstone. Without it.. it’s just blah.

dined on leftover spaghetti and cream sauce veggies/meatballs

I am both amused and a little dismayed that our town uses a very similar font as The Prisoner for all of their emailed town announcements. Mostly Amused.

I really like the Prince George’s Plaza Metro station, even if it is in a fairly rough neck of the woods.

0224091804.jpg

The whole place is just a neat design… lots of concrete, textures and angles hidden everywhere. I have half a mind to design a Counterstrike level for it. (Like I have that kind of time – Too many other things occupying my life to spend 30 hours building a level that will never get any play.

A pity it wasn’t one of the locations used in Fallout 3.

After work today, it was off to get our overdue weekly luxury of soda pop and two $1 scratch off tickets – results were the standard "we didn’t win anything, let’s drown our sorrows in a diet cherry dr pepper"

So.. What did I give up for lent? Just a bit of sloth, I think. I’m going to shoot for more vigorous walkies and getting back on my regular exercise regimen.

BHK made some tasty noodles w/ peas, broccoli and "meatballs" in a cream sauce. Good hearty stuff – Enough to take some with me to work tomorrow for lunch!

1 year ago – lots of asian elements, Prisoner Inn, steam games, chinese and tuscan sweatshops make prada, recently eaten silly named food, cat lovers and haters through history

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!’"
