9051 – Wednesday.

Downright Balmy today – 70 degrees! Last year it was snowing.

I have to say that I agree with District Diaries… *many* buses (Especially the C7 and R2, in my experience) are just not very weather tight.

Got my ducks in a row at the doctor today… some cough syrup type stuff, an antibiotic to fight infection due to the irritation, and apparently I can get my pneumonia vaccine (renews every 5-10 years) after I’ve mended up a smidgen.

Dinner at Mexico… BHK got steak flautas, and I got a burrito loco, full of all the veggies BHK isn’t crazy about. (Mushrooms, onions, green peppers)

Got home and watched nat’l geographic special on mountains and one on tidal life…. Snow Leopards / Rams and Surfing snails / Jellyfish!


Gifts from Danny – sort of an acid-washed / tie dye t-shirt with mama gator & piggy back baby gators, a frog pin made in USA from Austrian crystal, and some tasty Tassimo chai tea. Thanks!


Latest comic book sighting – Helen Killer. – “In 1901, twenty-one year old college student Helen Keller, with the aid of a fantastical device invented by her friend and mentor Alexander Graham Bell, regains her sight and hearing as well as near super-human strength and agility. Helen is enlisted by the Secret Service to protect President William McKinley, who has been targeted for assassination by anarchists.”

Well, it’s about time a super-powered ex deaf-mute took on Czolgosz! Coll-gosh is the new Mix-yez-pittle-ick, no doubt!

It’s Fat Tuesday!

It’s Super Tuesday !

It’s PANCAKE DAY !

Sakes.. it all seems so early this year. I don’t have the chops to eat pancakes tonight… still feeling a bit under the weather – but I don’t do lent either, so it’s all good. some mini-bagels and wheat chex with blueberries is just what I needed.

JC told me about a pneumonia shot… I’d never heard of such a thing. I’m going in to see my doctor today about getting one… apparently, JC had some bronchial issues about 8 years ago, and this cleared it up to the point where she’s never needed anything again.

I’m for that… I’m hitting the doc’s tomorrow in Dunkirk and having a look.

Watched The Last Mimzy tonight… it was ok, but no amazing great shakes happening there. Sort of a shiny, happy 12 Monkeys for hippies and kids, but not really. It’s not a bad movie overall… I think that in the right setting, and with the right people it’d be a cute way to burn 90 minutes. As it stood, it was average. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible.

Pye liked watching it with us – Newt snoozed upstairs.


I haven’t had a hot dog cut like an octopus in a while… it’s overdue. Maybe with some cherry pez and an episode of the Tick, for that matter.


A slice of life from North Beach, by way of BHK – I’ve been waiting for some mail order stuff for a while, and Danny’s present hadn’t arrived yet.

Just went to the post office and got the mail—there was NO package slip in the box. I was waiting for your shoes and t-shirts so I thought I’d go ask just be sure and LO and BEHOLD we had 3 packages! Danny’s came on Saturday Afternoon. BUT there was a bit of controversy–2 things.

The postmaster SWORE she put a note in our box but I KNOW we didn’t get one—as I was leaving the blond post lady told me that sometimes the other post lady forgets to put slips in—-GLAD I asked!

ALSO there was a giant brown stain where something wet had leaked on your shoes box—luckily upon further inspection it didn’t make it into the inner box but without me asking the postmaster volunteered—-“Oh sorry Luther’s deer blood got on your package.”

I SWEAR I almost BARFED in the post office. I was like WHAT? And the postmaster explained that some dude who lives in North Beach and his son like to send meat back and forth to each other.

Last week the father got in a bit of deer meat packed in dry ice and it leaked If it hadn’t been our box and I didn’t have to unwrap a bloody box I would’ve laughed at the following conversation the two post-ladies had after they told me what was on my box.

One: “Is it legal to send meat through the mail?” (UM shouldn’t she KNOW?)
Two: “Of course it is–Luther sent his son some fish back last week remember?” (GAG!!!!)
One: “Well at least your box wasn’t as bad as Mrs. So-and So’s Southern Living Magazine. I felt bad for her the whole thing was SOAKED in deer blood. I doubt she was able to read a page.” (BAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF!)

It’s not Hooterville here, I swear! Sometimes, it strikes home how different things are now than in Fort Lauderdale… and how much I prefer being on the Bay to living in SoFL.


Yikes.

Peruvian anti-riot police officers participate in a military parade to celebrate Peru’s Independence Day in Lima.

Yikes. Remind me not to riot in Lima. Heck, I’m not feeling up to rioting anytime soon.


What the heck kind of name is Ghostface Killah? An awesome one, thanks. Better than any of his other aliases, I think.

Back to work, back to work. Hacked my lung like a fool at work today – that’ll teach me to not bring the ol’ inhaler along. It was pretty bad mid to end-day… I’m surprised nobody came around to put me out of my misery with a shovel or something.

The ride home on the subway wasn’t too bad… did a lot of people take today off, to recover form the Superbowl?

Speaking of which – It looked like Jordin Sparks was lip-syncing at the Superbowl yesterday, but it could just be a delay between the audio and video but it had a prerecorded feel – she wasn’t selling it… I wonder why more people haven’t commented on that, and the weird stock-footage air show? Tom Petty did a good job, and everything lined up audio and video-wise. I wasn’t crazy about fake fans rushing his stage… he really is turning into an old mountaineer, facially.

Dinner was eggplant lasagna… BHK made a tasty meal, despite being all sick… We’re tucking into bed shortly to rest up.

The birthday cake is even better left over… sort of like a hostess cupcake with the white whipped icing as filling.


Random Thought… What is the difference between a black diamond and a lump of everyday carbon?

Well, the Patriots lost, but I really don’t follow football. Too bad about them not having a perfect run, though.

Had tasty taco salads for belated birthday dinner tonight… quite yummy! BHK and I are mending up nicely – spent a goodly chunk of the day resting and watching America’s Cutest Puppy and then Puppy Bowl IV – I did enjoy the Kitty “halftime show”. Apparently, I’m a giant softie. Pye was equally fascinated to watch the real super bowl, (took some photos – to follow), so I don’t feel too bad.

Birthday cake was even better than it looked – dark chocolate with white frosting. Nom.

Presents –

From BHK (in addition to yesterday’s loot, wonderful dinner and cake)

From the in-laws –

all amazingly good stuff.

I was surprised that I didn’t hear from Danny or the Bro this weekend… I imagine that they’re caught up in other things, and will contact me this weekend.

Email-wise, I heard from Ldy, Sedef, Oneeyed and co…. I was hoping to skype, but must’ve been away from the computer / napped – because I missed it.
