Happy Birthday to me… 39 years old today! Also, Happy Groundhog’s Day. Saw my shadow this morning – More snow, I guess!
First Present was a box of chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons from BHK by way of the cakery yummo.
Still sickly, so I spent the bulk of today in bed, resting after getting back from my allergy shots. BHK is bouncing back much more rapidly than I am. Big day out will be next weekend, most likely. Heading to Baltimore’s National Aquarium and maybe the …
I’d love to get this for Todd or Kevin. Kev, because he loves the ol’ stratofortress…. and Todd, because he needs a way to get out of the office in style.
Me… I’d rather have a bunch of these stone pillows piled in a corner like an ogre’s cave… a place to curl up and snooze comfortably.

First Present was a box of chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons from BHK by way of the cakery yummo.
Still sickly, so I spent the bulk of today in bed, resting after getting back from my allergy shots. BHK is bouncing back much more rapidly than I am. Big day out will be next weekend, most likely. Heading to Baltimore’s National Aquarium and maybe the B&O railroad museum, if Larry comes along.
Dinner of tasty veggie meatball subs and baked potato – nom nom nom
Birthday cake is dark chocolate, with white icing… and gummi green army men fighting to the top! Pictures to follow as available.
Presents from Kev-o: Godzilla Cartoon – Vol 1, Babylon 5 – The Lost Tales, and Family Guy: Blue Harvest goodie sets.
From Mom& Wilton – $50 Barnes and Noble Gift card.
I get to cut the cake and open my other presents tomorrow! Superbowl Sunday… I’m in a pool, but I really don’t follow football, even if my home team of the Patriots are playing.
BHK buttered my nose sneakily on a sneak behind this morning, after a failed attempt to get my beak while I was showering.
It’s Robb’s birthday today, too… I hope he’s having a dandy one as well! Happy Un-birthday to everyone else!
Ugh and yuck. Recent donation list.
I’m still trying to figure out how Kirstie Alley can afford a $5 mil donation.
I wonder if there will come a time where I boycott all movies because money is going to that organization. Dang Scientology.

Margaret Thatcher or Idi Amin, anyone? (or Aquino and Mandela, for the positive side of things) Those should prove that if anything, genitalia and skin color shouldn’t mean too much regarding national leadership. There are good and bad leaders of all stripes.
When I hear that someone is voting on the basis of gender or skin tone, my mind plays a sing-song voice of “I’m voting for Joe So-and-so, because of his dreamy blue eyes”…. it makes as much sense to me. This isn’t friggin’ American Idol… vote for the “talent”, not the “style”.
What happened to judging folks by the content of their character? That alone is the big reason I can’t get behind Clinton. She’s a good politician… but I think that by being so, she’ll tell anyone what they want to hear to get elected… and she hasn’t done a very good job of showing consistency on any issues I care about. Obama may be as bad or worse… but I don’t have the huge pile of information like I do on Hillary. I can’t in good conscience put a vote toward her… I don’t even want her as VP, which I suspect she’ll get.
Um.. Ann Coulter supports Clinton over Bill McCain, because McCain isn’t conservative enough? Isn’t that like getting an endorsement from the devil?
Slang of the moment (via BHK) – Electile Dysfunction. – The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year.
Ok… enough with the politics. Waxy Monkey Frogs are awesome, and I love them.
I’m fully aware of the fact that my nose will be buttered by BHK sometime tomorrow… and I don’t have a chance of dodging it. I imagine that caches of grease are already placed throughout the entire county, just waiting to be used. I know it is an expression of love.

Feeling better, but not at 100% Maybe 60%…. Better than the 15% yesterday. – went back to work, mainly because I had far too many meetings I couldn’t afford to miss. Accursed Bronchial tubes!
Physically achy from the coughing, but otherwise doing ok. Got a nosebleed right before my 10am teleconference… that was a hoot.
Later tonight, after dinner, I got to replicate my hulk icon from yesterday… so… there we are. *Blarf*
Heading to bed at 9:30 tonight good rest will mend me up. Poor…

sick.
just coughing, and not really moving much, aside from rolling in and out of bed to the purple chair. shower helped, but I’m whipped. Contrary to icon, no vomiting.
Ate some of BHK’s super homemade soup for heat and some ice cream for cool in the war-torn throat… but primarily a lot of fluids. Newt held a longtime vigil at the bed, and only left for a snack when Pye came up to cover for him. He was back moments later. I think he likes it when I’m acting as a bed-warmer all day.
Yesterday, I played the demo version of Bioshock for the PC while BHK read her book after dinner. Very cool designs and vibe… my only complaint is how some of the splicers look – and that’s a really small complaint. Beats watching the state of the Union Address.
Downright scary game with a pretty keen storyline and set of game-play traits. I’ll probably pick it up after polishing off the Orange box.
In other news, somebody developed a free Apples to Apples online game ! That…

In other news, somebody developed a free Apples to Apples online game ! That could be a lot of fun…. I’ll have to invite all my A2A pals to a session. I like that you can contribute new cards. [edit – join me in game 92 – password is the name of a particular orange cat!]

BHK made tasty pizza for the in-laws and me tonight… mine had eggplant and garlic with ricotta, and the other was true pepperoni. good stuff.
Presenting a doodle for the coloring book done on the palm while on the subway, then fiddled with GIMP once back home. I was thinking about making him more beveled looking, but rather dig the 2D vs 3D vibe going there. I’d like to see the coloring book community revitalized again.
peradouro drops pictures in there now and then, but aside…
9041 – sun – return of the nutshells
Today was all about rest… rallied strength, watched feasting on asphalt (Alton Brown’s tattoo looks… rather unplanned, to put it as kindly as I might) and an episode or two of monk, had BHK’s home made pizza bread and pseudo chicken strips atop a yummy, crunchy salad.
Finished off the first Harry Dresden book, and began the second.
talked to danny at 930 am about terry pratchett’s alzheimers. He’s pretty down about it.
slept a lot
tried hello kitty counterstrike. it’s cute. I love…
Happy Birthday, MissV! I hope you have a fantastic day, and all days ahead are as good.
Lunch in deale with the in-laws, they were tardy but they did buy the food! Ok Blueberry pie for dessert.
Newt and Pye in the Window – see previous entry.
Stopped into good deale bluegrass, eyed the stand up bass. keen!
Train Shopping & antiques – Chris got a lovely bit of stained glass, I spotted a wireless cam possibly suitable for…
The Secretary of Defense is giving President Bush his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”
“OH NO!” the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!”
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”
