9358 – Tuesday, the ides of July.

Big salad and fried zucchini chips tonight. BHK made some fried okra, but ate it all up save for one tiny morsel which I tried, and really didn’t taste any “okra-ness”.

Middleman continues to entertain – Zombie-venom bite snakehead-type fish and a cola scheme for “!!!” soda.

Random Scotto and BHK factoids. I am fairly distantly related to Ludwig II, and on a pretty solid connection to the original Frankensteins and (not the Fictional Scientist, but the family that built the castle.) I’d settle for having a time-share at Linferhof Palace. All told, I’m just glad I don’t have to go through the same stuff Benita Falkenheyn did.

BHK is more “American” as a fairly direct descendant of Davy Crockett, and has more than a little native American in her bloodline as well. (great grandma) – Not to mention Ma & Pa Barker. (And a little French Huguenot according do Mother-in-Law.)

*SOME*body is rearranging netflix queues so that girly movies arrive before scary monster flicks. I wonder who it could be?

BHK is sneaking in and adding to my journal again! Her latest:

“S’ok cause I really love girly movies—-don’t tell anyone dear journal but I squealed like a giddy school-girl while watching Bridget Jones’ Diary!!”


Bleah and Bah, I say to that.



More crops from the garden.. it seems limitless!

more crops! squash and such!

Cukes, Zukes, squash.. and a .. green pepper? BHK also gave away lal our green beans to the neighbor – he thought that they were offered and took ’em -BHK didn’t have the heart to take ’em back.

9357 – Monday

Random Thought – My niece (via Momster’s younger sis Diane & ) Inger is 17…. I can remember when she was born, and wore the candle headdress at age 4! How the heck did 13 years skip on by that fast?

We watched the most thinly-veiled possible telephone ad / infomercial on the tube last night.. Picture This. Poor Kevin Pollak. Ah well, I was happy just to relax on the couch and veg for a little while. Note – It is not a “hilarious coming of age teen comedy.”

Mamihlapinatapai:considered the hardest word to translate.

It describes a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start. This could perhaps be translated more succinctly as “eye-contact implying ‘after you…'”. A more literal approximation is “ending up mutually at a loss as to what to do about each other”.




at the suggestion of MGK – I’ve added Zero Effect to my netflix.
