Happy Birthday to Kat (and 3 years of journaling!)

Today, I got my shots, and BHK visited the doc for chest pains-  turned out to be muscle-related… knot in her back radiated out to the rib area. Knot is fading considerably now, thankfully.

This afternoon, BHK and I finished Happiness of the Khatkuris, and The Dunwich horror – both were much better than I’d hoped, for totally different but similar reasons. "Bad" horror flicks, that were fun to watch, mostly because BHK was in the room with me while we lounged on the couch and ate chocolate cookies.

After the movie-fest, it was off to Selby with the in-laws – Not bad, but not the best – lots of new folks there – owners out, so the quality was a bit under par, but still good.

BHK got her big warm coat for our trip to Punxy – she’ll be toasty warm while we’re there now, I’ll wager.

BHK picked me up from work tonight – we pretty much came straight home to a cucumber salad, leftover (but delicious) quiche, and a viewing of the first half The Happiness of of Katakuris  – so far, so good.

Farewell, Christmas lights… North Beach is slowly taking them all down. All that remained this morning were the igloo, santa, a reindeer, and one lone tree, where there was once a dozen or so.

Our lights are off, but not yet down – maybe this weekend, the roof will get cleared.

Molecular Analysis Confirms Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Evolutionary Link To Birds

Putting more meat on the theory that dinosaurs’ closest living relatives are modern-day birds, molecular analysis of a shred of 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex protein — along with that of 21 modern species — confirms that dinosaurs share common ancestry with chickens, ostriches, and to a lesser extent, alligators.

Chris’s Merto car conked out – (re-parked with the ignition on) BHK got her from the metro prior to my pickup. She couldn’t reach Larry – his cellpohne was turned off. As a result, Chris came with us to dinner with Tina, at Mexico.

Supper was good, we all chit-chatted a bit – Tina’s going to the inauguration – I’m passing – too crowded and mobby for me. Best to just stay home and enjoy coverage via the news while I relax in my jammies.

Newton leaping down from his perch – BHK relocated Pyecam for a more worm’s eye view. Newtcam seems less active these days – time to open the windows, maybe.

Regular day in ol’ Scottoville, dear journal.

Icy, cold rain all day – bhk and I came home, and she had some tasty quiche for us to munch for dinner.

We both chatted a bit with Angie Goff last night via mogulus – I’m not sure if it’s what I want ot use to strema newtcam, but it is a good little website, once you work out the kinks. Also so Kim Martucci on video as well – it was fun chatting with both of ’em!

It occurs to me that I haven’t yet mentioned my Christmas loot. here is a brief list, likely in need of more detail later.

Here are some of the goodies I got this year, in no particular order, just off the top of my head:

  • Some wonderful coupons – BHK’s undying love, homemade fudge and dinner of my choice!
  • Battery charger – runs on usb or wall plug
  • book on playing the bass guitar
  • bananagrams game – I love the bag and the pieces – can’t wait to play
  • scrabble poker game
  • a bubble-balance (on a keyring)
  • a snakehead fish plushie (in orange and green)
  • Several books – Some Steven Fry, The Twelve, a book of goofy letters sent to companies, National Musueum, assorted super-hero, and other keen tomes
  • a shoeshine sponge
  • Wings of War – Balloon-Busting Biplane combat game from Danny
  • $200 coupon good for cash transfer into the bank
  • A boatload of candy, cookies and such! Including homemade haystacks from BHK – crunchies, butterscotch and peanut held together with chocolate. yum!
  • Baked goods of many varieties
  • a tea towel
  • Oranges & assorted citrus (also a chocolate orange)
  • A lovely blue striped sweater, that actually fits
  • 2 new train cars for my engine – a flat freight and a yellow grain container
  • A miniature Stonehenge kit (will look good by the train)
  • a laser-pointer/flashlight gizmo
  • best of the Thunderbirds on dvd (the puppet tv show, not the rock band)
  • a tissue box cover made of scrapbook paisley and clip art frogs
  • a martha stewart pie cutter/server

Did I forget anything? Sure I did… but I’ll mention them as they pop up either in use or conversation.

Still pretty darned psyched about going to see Punxatawney Phil on my B’day. I am concerned a bit about the weather, though. Last year, it was 27 degrees, not horrid, but pretty dang cold.

It’s been snowing there all this week, and it’s only going to get chillier!

We should stock up the love cube with some hot cocoa, cider, and plenty of blankets, too. Oh, and plenty of Polka Music for the 5 hour drive. 🙂

Using one word for each letter of the alphabet, make a list of the words you most associate with yourself or that you feel best describe you.

Best? I’ll just go with first that comes to mind. Maybe I’ll come back and fill in more detail – maybe not.

Allison – my love.
Barefoot
Creaky – Back, hip, jaw… a little work around the joints would be nice.
Determined – not much of a quitter here.
Eyesight – one of my better physical traits, at least as far as viewing the surface of things. No x-ray vision, sadly.
Food – When food is prepared to my liking, I get a sense of comfort. BHK is an amazing cook. MD has far better food than FL, too.
Goofy
Helpful
Intelligent
Journal-y
Kind
Large. (I’m fairly close to Bluto‘s not as mean Twin – tall and overweight both)
Monkeys!
Newton
Orcs
Pyewacket
Queries (both SQL, and everyday life)
Reading
Sleepy 
Telephone-hater
Ubuntu
Vegetarian – (Not too severe – I’ll do eggs/diary, and the occasional sea creature with more than 4 legs)
Wombat
Xorn. Why? Because I have a soft spot in my heart for tripod creatures… the mouth-on-top eating precious metals and gems is a bonus. What was I going to say? X-ray? Xylophone? I nearly went with XXXL, but I figure it’s covered at L.
Yeti
Zombies (though they are getting a trifle passe’)
