Again slow to rise this morning – I need to hit the sack earlier during the week.

I brought some snacks for Franklin, but he was nowhere to be found this morning.

9660 – wednesday
Franklin was back – and happy to have a little nibble for breakfast. I ate my bagel and gave him treats and pets for breakkies.
speaking of critters – BHK master list of things for us to adopt –
- duck
- llama
- alpaca
- puggle
- griffon (spunky one)
- pig
- baby otter (preferably 2 )

Comcast came back – apparently they didn’t complete the disconnect from the "walled garden". Fortunately, BHK was savvy enough to tell them that our equipment wasn’t bad – told them to get one off the truck, and test – failed, and that led them to call and fix earlier.
They reset the router though – I’m going to have to rename and reset some security. (not crazy about having it called "linksys" or "default" when "mr meaty" or "salmagundia" will do better.
Let’s see how well this stays together.

Fooling around near the bus stop, while waiting for BHK to come get me – it’s pretty gray outside for springtime, yet, and plenty cool.
After work tonight, BHK picked me up, an we went to Pizza Hut with Adam. Brought him back his hoodie and power cable left behind the other night he slept over, as well as some little treats picked up for him at 7-11 (chips, gummis, soda)
Adam is still not interested in getting BHK a Llama via his rental company, and we were all too tired to do candlepin bowling.
Dropped him off, saw a cd/video game exchange place… swung in for a moment – not a bad collection of stuff, and the prices look right. I’ll be back.
We got home, and now are heading to bed… early, but both of us are bushed!

Open BVE Train sim! – probably only interesting to me and Larry, dear journal.

European researchers have discovered that chimpanzees have a built-in mental GPS, keeping ‘a geometric mental map of their home range, moving from point to point in nearly straight lines.’ Using GPS, two primatologists followed 15 chimpanzees for 217 days, and determined that the apes were ‘using a mental map built around geometric coordinates.’ They’re not just identifying landmarks in their surroundings, and in fact, even when swinging through trees, the chimps planned out their route several trees in advance. Here’s the paper in the journal Animal Behavior.

Comcast was difficult again this evening, but I called and they reset the modem – hopefully it’ll be smooth sailing, now. BHK made tasty pretend chicken and creamy noodles with peas for supper.. until later!

Batman Brave & the Bold continues to be exceptional – I really liked the recent Joker’s 50’s design is … also "brake, choke, throttle, " my kind of car! comment was perfect.
Speaking of Throttle – Comcast returned – didn’t call BHK to let her know they had come by – seems they had throttled down our connection because they couldn’t figure out how to properly bill us? What? Anyhow, it is back up to speed now. Just as well – Verison’s service isn’t in our area – our only other alternative is satellite-type stuff – Hughes net. That’s the price we pay for living in a rural-ish area, I guess!
Grabbed subs, did $2 worth of scratch-off tickets (and won$2! – broke even), and headed home to watch Hancock tonight – I thought it was pretty enjoyable, all told. I think the thing was to not expect "meteor man – drunk hero" throughout the whole film. I do have to wonder about the other super though… why was Hancock the only person being a hero? Just seeing the movie made me wonder if a Damage Control film was a viable thing – a ton of collateral damage.
I just figured out the cartoon I was whistling the song to earlier (singing to pyewacket and newt) – An Itch in Time – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-zA16E-_NY about 1:30 into the video

Springtime… the weekend!
I’d like to take BHK to Annapolis this weekend, do a little walkies and just enjoy each others company. That’s the plan, anyhow!

Cable guy came by this morning to evaluate our Internet – he replaced the line from the pole to our house, and the box on the pole – looks better, but they’re sending out another truck on Monday to…

Lazy day today, to make up for yesterday’s jaunt. We had a leisurely morning at home – woke up slowly and got ready to head out for the day.
After BHK got out of the shower, we took another nap……

After BHK got out of the shower, we took another nap… so walkies were out.

This morning the National Park Service announced it has revised the peak bloom dates for D.C.’s famed cherry blossoms, to April 1-4. They’ve also added on an overall "Blooming Period," from March 28-April 11, which nicely overlaps the dates of the National Cherry Blossom Festival (March 28-April 12).
