9270 – tuesday OH YEAH!

Spent most of the day shuttling around, getting things in order, both at work and off-site. BHK and I made it home about 7:30, after supper at Ledo’s at about 6. – I ended up famished right around 9pm.. .I guess the small veggie calzone didn’t want to stick with me…. especially since I pretty much had been sans food all day.




Oh Yeah!


Thank you, cardboard graffiti artist, for making tuesday extra fun!



The thought was to go to the movies after my midday stuff, but neither BHK nor myself were really up to it – sort of fragged out and just wanted to get home.

Movies:

Despite all the reviews to the contrary, I suspect that I’ll like Hancock more than Iron Man. More than either of those, I want to see Wall-E.

Indy 4 I don’t have high hopes for, but I’m certainly going to see it if possible. I just want it to be better than National Treasure 2.

We still have netflix copies of Cloverfield and No Country for Old Men – Maybe next weekend for those.

Guys like this, *and* the people he sat in front of are two reasons I don’t like going to movies on opening night. If you don’t like what’s going on, either tell the manager, or leave. Those kids had witnesses and there are cameras in most theaters… his behavior was good at least for an assault charge, maybe battery too. (I’ll leave that to my wife’s legal knowledge.) Add to that that he’s far from a minor, and they were… way to lead by example.



Jailbreak 0.4 is out.. looking pretty sharp! I’ll get to it after I finish the Orange Box and Bioshock. (got ’em both for xmas, but I’m having too much fun doing other stuff to goof single player on the ‘pooter these days!

9269 – Monday

Happy Cinco de Mayo! see last year’s entry for more info on the holiday. I hope we have Mexican food for supper!  [edit – BHK made Fajitas!! delicious, but my gut wasn’t happy after a suspect lunch.]

Unrelated to my feelings on Mexican food – After Saturday’s little tummy trouble, BHK and I are considering a “best public potties in SOMD” site, unless something like that is already available. For the record – The Giant supermarket in Lusby has potties that are *very* clean and easy to access.

Hm, a quick google search brought up this. (with this being the Maryland section – no Lusby… I tried to add it and the page hung. I’ll try again from a non-phone browser when I get home from my commute.)

Picture from said commute – It looks more monday-ish than it feels.

I prefer the doodle further below.



I can’t believe I’ve been playing FPS games for over 20 years. My first multi-player LAN party experience was MIDI Maze at Sun Atari ’87, where I gunned Tom Hudson down repeatedly as an orange smiley face. (remembrance due to Wolfenstein 3D being released 16 years ago today.)

First solo FPS on the PC for me was Rise of The Triad – given to me by Kevin, Christmas of ’95, after playing the freeware beforehand, and we played Unreal Tournament in ’99 as the first regularly played FPS LAN game for about a decade after MIDI Maze.

I still have trouble with the translocator, 9 years later.


Never say “hopeless”. My prior back doctor could use a copy of this article. Thankfully, he will be retiring in the next year.



Well, officially back to the goatee – It does feel a lot less warm than the full beard. Last doodle made was on Saturday – I won’t have to draw the jawline for a bit, I guess! playing with the idea of colors mixing through transparencies. I forgot to make the white background transparent for the doodle, though.
