Yikes, it’s the Ides of March! Sorry, Ceasar! Reminds me that it’s Dave’s Birthday yesterday.. I wonder how old he is now?

Sleepy day today – no walkies,too rainy. did some chores and took a midday nap upstairs. Lunch was pretzels and TV – last of alien in america – I’m kind of glad to see it go out on top, rather than fizzling.

We meandered downstairs, did some more chores, and then watched the pilot for  Castle (has potential, but suffered from "pilot-itis) and caught up with Ugly Betty and House.

Note – Dutch from the Shield Showing up all over the place – Burn notice, CSI and House, most recently – And this guy who was on House, CSI, and Psych all in the same week. (The in-laws do the CSI thing) – They must have good managers!

Supper was what we meant to have yesterday – spaghetti and meatballs – pasta was good, but the sauce was just ok – not worth $6… can get better or at least similar for less than half that at safeway.

We didn’t leave the house all day… rather a blessing.

Happy PI day! To celebrate, we went out for pancakes at the Main Ingredient with Duncan, J, and Sean. A nice time, and we piddled around the stationary store next door to digest afterward. (Picked up a set of cute barrettes for BHK!)

For the record, Pyewacket could care less if it was PI day, Pie day or Pye-day.

Midday, we headed home, swung by the candy store and got our mail, a brief stop at Coffee, Tea & Whimsy for a wine-tasting (well, I was there for the snacks), picked up some crabby crackers, a loaf of italian brad and some pasta sauce, spent $10 to support breast cancer awareness (BHK got a homemade pin, I got a sleeve of sugar cookies)

and watched Mr. Meaty. BHK said that it’s like that show is in my head… episodes today were about Zombies and a Planet of the Apes sort of parody.. the show just hits things right on the nose. Thanks, Canada!

This evening, we had a minimalist supper (nibbles above), and watched the 2008 Bangkok Dangerous – I was a little disappointed, and BHK was more so.

BHK enjoyed the Sex in the City movie in part tow of our "flush out our old netflix" film fest more, and I thought it was a passable chick flick based on a girl’s TV show, but not much more than that.

Tasty Salad at lunch, with lots of work on either side of it.

Made a date with BHK to see the Pietasters in May! A little Ska never hurts! Also made plans to go get some pancakes with Duncan, J, and Sean this weekend!

Bloody Fun Day is a strategic arcade game where players control the Reaper as he plows his way through little critters. Every time Death sticks his scythe into one of the creatures, he gains points but loses health. Destroying red creatures will bring his life back up.

 

Each set of creatures killed leave behind eggs which need to be left alone to hatch into even more critters. Building up points also gives Death special abilities which can be activated in order to grab even more points. It’s all about bagging as many points as possible before you run out of life.

 

The game mechanics work really well and it’s a very nice concept. There’s a tutorial to get you going and a couple of game modes to choose from. Play it over at Kongregate. (via indiegames.com)

Got home from work, and had more homework to do before bed – I think I’m pretty prepared for tomorrow’s meeting, though.

Not much to say, save that I’m sleepy, and tonight’s Big Bang Theory was pretty weak. They’re on a train and Summer whoozit from Terminator / Firefly is there. Bleh. Best thing about the episode was the end title card.

From BHK –

"Funny story about this morning. I made a bagel and went upstairs to sit on the bed and eat it and watch the news. I kept hearing this rumble. I couldn’t figure out what it was—maybe my stomach or something outside…at 6am??? On the bed was my jacket which I’d taken off after curling up in yesterday when I wasn’t feeling well and I was cold—-the sound seemed to be coming from there—I touched the coat and felt a lump—trying to figure out if it was Newt I picked it up and—-he had WRAPPED himself like a burrito A BURRITO in my coat and he was purring like CRAZY!!! He’s so silly!!!!"
