Beware the ides of January! Oh, how it snowed today! It went for a brief period, stopped, and then came back, all crazy-like.
I heard that it wasn’t going to stick, but it was pretty white out there for a little bit. If it had done its drop after dark, I’d wager there’d have been less sublimation.
I’m glad that BHK doesn’t mind my meat-free ways! Larry opted for a fried chicken tv dinner, but Chris was game. I have enough to bring…
Holy cow, is it snowing.
it’s snowing!!

I’m glad that BHK doesn’t mind my meat-free ways! Larry opted for a fried chicken tv dinner, but Chris was game. I have enough to bring a goodly does for lunch tomorrow, too – with plenty of mixed veggies and peas on the side.
Random Scotto factoid – For some reason, as a kid, I got Baretta and Columbo mixed up. I got it worked out pretty early, but there was a time that I thought it was the same show.
An animal rights group had sought to have the chimp, Matthew Hiasl Pan, declared a person in hopes of gaining guardianship of the animal.
The shelter where Matthew has lived for 25 years is going bankrupt, threatening to leave him homeless. Donors have offered to help support him, but under Austrian law, only a person can receive personal gifts.
The Vienna-based Association Against Animal Factories sought to have him declared a person and petitioned to be appointed Matthew’s trustee.
But the high court upheld a September ruling by a judge in the town of Wiener Neustadt rejecting the petition, the group said Tuesday.
The rights group said it would take the case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Matthew and another chimp at the shelter, Rosi, were captured as babies in Sierra Leone in 1982 and smuggled to Austria for use in pharmaceutical experiments. Customs officers intercepted the shipment and turned the chimps over to the shelter.
Organizers said they may set up a foundation to collect donations for Matthew, whose life expectancy in captivity is about 60 years.
But they argue that only personhood will ensure that he isn’t sold outside Austria.

We took it easy today, as per our usual Sunday… BHK and I woke and puttered a bit, at at The Frying Pan before heading to Aardvark’s to use the gift certificate we got from the Newsies. We picked up family fluxx, my comics and a few deck boxes for our card games – with the bonus stuff for Zombie and regular fluxx, they’ve rather outgrown the cardboard boxes they came in. I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice display of looney labs stuff there – werewolf and and assortment of…

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez wants to give you 100 gallons of free heating oil to help survive the cold cruel capitalist winter. The hogshead of liquid warmth is available to anyone enduring a financial hardship who fills out a handy online form.
Eligibility is determined with two questions: First, do you live in one of these 16 states?
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland, Alaska, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana.
Second, do you need the oil? Need is relative, but if you have a family and make less than $40,000, you probably qualify. Citizens Energy, which administers the program, evaluates each application on a case-by-case basis and issues eligible applicants a voucher redeemable for 100 gallons of CITGO heating oil.
It’s almost sweet of our communist friends to shove the inequalities and harsh realities of capitalism in our faces with a program that actually helps people pay for an increasingly unwieldy cost of living expense.
For more information, call Citizens Energy at: (877) 563-4645, or fill out their online application.

We took it easy today, as per our usual Sunday… BHK and I woke and puttered a bit, at at The Frying Pan before heading to Aardvark’s to use the gift certificate we got from the Newsies. We picked up family fluxx, my comics and a few deck boxes for our card games – with the bonus stuff for Zombie and regular fluxx, they’ve rather outgrown the cardboard boxes they came in. I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice display of looney labs stuff there – werewolf and and assortment of Fluxx decks is a sign of good fun.
If all goes according to plan, Bugah will be staying with us next weekend – I’ll be recovering from the dentist, but playing wii and just generally goofing around should be a great time for us all. Maybe we can convert him to playing fluxx, too.
In other gaming news – Half-life 2 progressing in a fun way, slowly – about 10 min of game play each time… playing on the airboat right now. Just made it to the red barn. Total Playing time: 4 hrs past 2 weeks (all pc games, including peggle, portal, team fortress 2, counterstrike, hl2, and so on) I’m just not hardcore anymore… if I ever was. Too much fun stuff to do in meat-space – video gaming is usually what I do while I wait for BHK to get ready to go out.
We were planning on heading over get groceries and then to the in-laws to set up some trains, but we grew too fatigued, and just headed home to watch our backlog of psych episodes and began the business of packing up Christmas decor for another 11 months.
I don’t even remember what I had for supper… Oh, wait, got it. Cheese crackers. I skipped the leftover spaghetti – will lunch that tomorrow.
