9382 – Thursday

Tooth is still giving me minor fits. Antibiotic seems to be taking it down, though. It was a little hard to chew supper, but it was quite tasty.

BHK went thrifting yesterday with Tina – got some good loot – a few chick-lit books for herself, a kepler and his mom on witch trial book for me, along with a white dress shirt, also for me – some brand new kitchen knives. (as opposed to what… bathroom knives? office knives?)

Additionally, when she got my antibiotics at the drugstore, she picked me up yellow and red canisters of drying model clay. could be handy to make some game pieces, or just silly fun sculptures and items. It’ll be good practice for future sculpey stuff.

Seeing BQ.. erm, SaH reminded me that BHK and I are long overdue for a meal at the vegetable garden. Rockville isn’t all that far away and despite what R.E.M. says, I could hit the Micro Center up there, too. I’d also like to visit Yuan Fu, which was our alternate plan if VG was closed.

I guess that since I do crab and shrimp that I’m more of a pescetarian than a true veggie.


One of the most nifty game ideas in a long time – levelhead – it uses a hand-held solid-plastic cube as its only interface. On-screen it appears each face of the cube contains a little room, each of which are logically connected by doors. In one of these rooms is a character. By tilting the cube the player directs this character from room to room in an effort to find the exit.

check out the video demo to get a good idea how it works.

Also – it looks like the Ghostbusters game is in a bit of trouble… may not get released – at least for a while. It looks good, and the chance for another year of development might even make it worth the wait.

The Queen’s Confidante

Congrats! Only 5-7% of the population score this!

The Queen’s Confidante is the first to hear the beat of a different drum. Many plunge into the avant garde experience and generally set the trend for their friends. They are more in touch with reality using their senses but this makes them want to live for the ‘here and now’. The Confidante is full of charm and may flow with compliments even if it isn’t deserved. Rather than write a poem on the beauty of life – they would rather live out the written story of beauty.

The Queen’s Confidante is usually peaceful and easygoing in nature. They usually adopt a ‘live and let live’ approach to life. They take things at their own pace and live for the moment. They may be quiet but are pleasant, considerate and caring. They may not be inclined to debate or air their views, but of course their values are important to them. They will solve problems as they arise especially if it concerns people. Generally the Confidante is one who develops great team spirit through the promotion of cooperation. They will only repeat facts without placing too much spin or interpretation on them. Because of this they may be the best mediators.

The Confidante is sensitive to its environment, and much more perceiving than others with regards to the physical world. They can notice variations in behavior of others. They are highly conscious of companions and friends, but they prefer to let others direct. This ‘Pawn’ is rarer than others because they are emotionally well rounded with a great degree of empathy. Because of this empathy, they can be overly concerned with ‘feelings’. They may even sacrifice their ideals and not contribute enough, especially if they don’t wish to exercise criticism.Geotarget Geotarget

scotto and chae, he-man styleOh My Goff! –Emmy award winner Angie Goff profiled me, the kitties and Alan & JC’s pup Chae on her blog entry today ! (Picture here from the entry… eek and awesome. BHK is going to tease me mercilessly – She’d better watch it, or she’ll get She-Ra’ed.) The WUSA9 team all have blogs it seems, and the bulk of them are very entertaining!


Called Dr. Wolfe – cracked my back tooth, the one with the composite filling. I’m taking antibiotics starting tonight, and I’ll be seeing him in a week for a fix-up. It only hurt a wee bit yesterday, but has progressed to headache level annoyance now. I wonder if the tooth will come out of my noggin before thursday… it feels a bit loose.

We need to get pye in the light like that, so he doesn’t look like the phantom blot !


A very interesting graph of the estimated ideological positions of US voters, senators, and representatives shows that members of Congress are much more liberal and conservative than are US voters, who fall somewhere in the middle. (via 3qd)


Maryland Renaissance Fest is coming up. I figure we’ll go again, probably for one weekend, this time to just people watch, if nothing else. Scottish Weekend might be fun.


Got a postcard from the bro. He sounds better when he’s sobered up. I’ll be writing him sometime between tomorrow night and this weekend. It breaks my heart every time I think of him… I thought I was mostly over it, but I’m really still fairly tender about it at times. If luck enters the picture, maybe he’ll get some good, solid treatment, but I won’t get my hopes up.

His arraignment was supposed to have been on Monday – I wonder how long before public records will give me follow-up info? He’s got a calendar call on 9/2/08 – I guess I’ll know more then.


Al Gore Places Infant Son In Rocket To Escape Dying Planet

“I tried to warn them, but the Elders of this planet would not listen,” said Gore, who in 2000 was nearly banished to a featureless realm of nonexistence for promoting his unpopular message. “They called me foolish and laughed at my predictions. Yet even now, the Midwest is flooded, the ice caps are melting, and the cities are rocked with tremors, just as I foretold. Fools! Why didn’t they heed me before it was too late?”
