9255 – Saturday
Garage sale across the down today after shots… Our first blush on the way to the doctor wasn’t that successful.. saw old clothes and lots of little bits of junk here and there. Quickie lunch at Mexico and then back to the town to shop.
Our hope was to find some good furniture – nothing amazing really stood out. BHK asked what I’d want to see at my ideal yard sale… my response was a mummified monkey head, some old heathkit robots maybe, and maybe a retired super-scientist’s collection of prototype death rays and forcefield belts.
What we did was pick up a few dvds, more than a couple of “chick lit” books, wall art, a teaching chess set, two toy robots and A ROBOT MONKEY !
We didn’t spend more than $20 total for the lot – The ‘bots were the bulk of the cost, at $4.50 each. Puzzles were a quarter, dvds a buck a pop, and books were a big bundle for $3.
Came home, chilled out and enjoyed BHK’s nom nom nommy thai cabbage soup.
Forgot to mention that yesterday also heralded the arrival of our blue robot boy to pair up with our pink robot hula girl. The girl is cuter, but they make a fine little dancing pair.

9254 – Friday –
18 month anniversary today. After work, BHK and I headed out to Silver Spring to meet up with Sirenity, Leagle_beagle555 and Chrishaas. Friendly folks and meeting was long overdue.
I forgot my camera, so I’m depending on Sirenity for picture documentation later on. We had a nice time and conversation over supper – more to follow as I think of it.
Ultraportable / subnotebook comparisons
New back drugs are – Lyrica, Cyclobenzaprine and Nabumetone. I want to do a bit more research on ’em before I take them. Nabumetone in particular had a lot of nasty, scary warnings in the information text.
I am glad that they’re not habit-forming, and have a lot of pretty decent write-ups so far.
Dell will be offering Windows XP pre-installed on their computers past the June 30 cut-off date. Computers purchased with Vista Business or Vista Ultimate past June 30 will come with a copy of XP Pro. Dell plans to simply install that copy upon request to save users a step. Perhaps this will help Microsoft officials make up their minds about another extension.
According to F-Secure, over 500,000 webservers across the world, including some from the United Nations and UK government, have been victims of a SQL injection. The attack uses an SQL injection to reroute clients to a malicious javascript at nmidahena.com, aspder.com or nihaorr1.com, which use another set of exploits to install a Trojan on the client’s computer. As per usual, Firefox users with NoScript should be safe from the client exploit, but server admins should be alert for the server-side injection. Brian Krebs has a decent writeup on his Washington Post Security Blog, Dynamoo has a list of some of the high-profile sites that has been hacked, and for fun you can watch some of the IIS admins run around in circles at one of the many IIS forums on the ‘net.
I need to remember that free comic book day is coming May 3… next weekend! Will I forget? Probably. But it’s exciting to not write it down anywhere else and then rediscover. I wonder what loot Aardvark will have for us? I hope issues of Gumby and Hellboy (and maybe an Iron Man heroclix figure?) will be left.
I should scope out umbrella academy – probably my fave freebie book from last time – I could go for a trade paperback, if available.
Just so you know – I have never, ever pistol-whipped anyone, dear journal. Please don’t make me change that situation.

Lovely day today.
Lots of gypsy moth and / or tent caterpillar nests in the crooks of trees around here. Seeing birds and moths in flight through the early morning fog is something magical, if you’ll excuse the lack of a less cliched expression, dear journal. I really dislike defoliation, but watching moths and butterflies flit around makes me happy. The first date I had with BHK, we saw a luna moth in the parking lot of Mama Lucias, and we were both captivated by it. Now of course, it’s doing advertising for a sleep aid.
Believe it or not, I’m a very quiet cricket, too.
Tomorrow will be my 18 month (I just spelled it moth… on the brain) wedding anniversary. Good stuff! only 33 more of those until our 50 year mark!
Goal at the doc today was muscle relaxers or a cortisone shot, maybe an appointment with a physical therapist? I don’t want to take narcotics for this, or only in an emergency.
Results were pretty positive – found a potentially good resource for physical therapy, and a few non-dopey pain fixers. I’m going to do more research on the different drugs before taking them this weekend.
After the doc, we went to Ledo’s – BHK got a cookin’ break. Yummy, but not as good as her stuff.

A month after the beta dropped, Linux distro Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron is officially out. Besides running GNOME 2.22 and Firefox 3 Beta 5, a big new feature is Wubi support, which’ll let Ubuntu live on the same partition as Windows and makes it easy to uninstall if you want to retreat back into Microsoft’s bosom. If you’re Li-curious, now’s a good time to try. The site’s getting hammered so torrent might be your best bet.
Is it vain wonder if people I haven’t seen in years ever think of me? Not even friends or people I knew really well… but random classmates, ex-coworkers, etc. I sometimes contemplate my effects on people long after I’ve gone. There are any number of folks who don’t know me from Adam that have caused changes in the way I think or react to things.
More random spam journals adding me – I wonder what is causing it? Is it the time of year? Same thing happened a year ago. ban_set is still my best friend when it comes to dealing with them – far more expedient than dealing with lj-abuse team. I suspect it’s a side-effect of the number of google hits the journal gets… ad folks trying to get some free hits.
Assorted doodles done recently on the palm, usually on the bus, or at the stop in the morning.
From the night we missed the scarlet pimpernel. I still think of the Daffy duck version whenever I hear the title.
I had a lot on my mind that day… supposed to represent swirling colors that remain discrete, but it looks pretty static.
A scribble made while waiting for the bus. Not jacket weather anymore, but not sweating in shirtsleeves yet, either.
From yesterday. The color doesn’t do justice to her hair’s brighness, nor does the balloon properly exhibit her boomingly loud voice.
Ah, Almost Friday.
