9652 – Tuesday – St. Patty’s Day!

Happy St. Patty’s, All you Irish!
(And I think everyone is Irish today.)

S6301503


In-laws and Adam came over tonight – BHK made wonderful Thai Curry soup, and it was a meal fit for a king!

Added Bonus of the day – she got a food processor for $13 – price must’ve been marked wrong, as it said $26 (on sale from $40ish)

It’s a school night – just enough time to fix Adam’s mac and hit the sack! G’nite, dear journal!

I’m a little out of whack today – hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Quiz-meme –

With technology on our doorstep and it’s affect on daily living, how concerned are you?
Tag your friends and see what they think. Cut and paste the questions and replace my answers with your own.

1. Do you see currency being replaced entirely by debit accounts and wired transactions by 2050?
No. I think that there will always be a desire for a harder to track form of currency, especially for consensual crime.

2. Do you feel intrusions into our very thoughts by technology in the next 10 years?
Facebook and Livejournal are already here!

3. If transactions become entirely electronic, do you feel that every thing you buy, sell or earn will be recorded?
Absolutely.

4.Of the 3 questions above, do you feel this data will be accessible by government and industry?
Yes.

5. Do you think this information could be used to control you in any way? Mishandled?
Certainly, which is why I suspect currency will not die.

6. Are you aware that scanning devices are now capable of translating our thoughts?
To a degree.

7. Are you aware that devices are becoming so small and integrated that they could be as small as a cell phone, and perform all of the actions exampled above including what cell phones already do now?
yes

8. After viewing this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ-VjUKAsao and reading this article http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16751-brain-scan-reveals-memories-of-where-youve-been.html
Do you still doubt the future possibility of technology?
Nope

9. would you like to play a game of poker wearing such a device if no one realized your ability?
nah

10. Do you think others would?
yes

Amy’s mom passed away today after battling with lung cancer for quite some time.  I didn’t know her, but my heart goes out to Amy and her family. I need to call her tomorrow and express my condolences. We knew it was coming, but it’s still a shock.

Writer’s Block: The Kids’ Section

I really liked Disney movies as a kid – I didn’t get to watch many over and over, though – I would guess that the stuff that came on the Wonderful World of Disney werethose that got the most replay value.

Of that lot, I’d have to go with Donald in Mathemagic land, though it’s not really a movie.. Maybe Blackbeard’s Ghost  or possibly the Scarecrow.
Neither are really my favorite now, but I still hold them in a place of nostalgia.

9649 – sunday

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.
