As a Side benefit of getting the DSi – I suppose I’ll try doing the occasional doodle-post again!
As mentioned above, Amy is here, and we’re getting lots of gaming in – Jungle Speed and Small world taking up the lion’s share of our time.. though Pop-up pursuit is a lot of mindless fun, too. I’m looking forward to playing a little cir-kis and buzz word before our time is up, as well.
We also have been doinga little Super Mario World-Wii – which is fun, but hard with multi-player.
I’ve been cheating quite a bit – I prefer to post verbal over visual content. I’ll admit that I like to see pictures of Christmas, family and the kitties as much as the next guy, but to me, a photograph with just a small caption is strangely silent, especially coming from me.
What have I been up to lately, dear journal? Let’s see.
On Wednesday, I went to a job fair in Northern Virginia… I’m thankful that my background allows me to qualify for a good clearance ranking. DC area seems to prefer folks with an ability to do so.
Yesterday, BHK, Chris and I went to the Mexico restaurant for supper – aside from that, I went to physical therapy and rested in bed with the boys. Tonight we’re scheduled to visit the Manspergers for some baked Ziti and good conversation – Sean has been very helpful, in helping me to seek out opportunities in this region.
I’m looking forward to a snowy day tomorrow. Supposed to be 12-20 inches in my neck of the woods!
Amy is coming to visit from the 26th to the 30th! Right on!
I’m digging the new statistics page for livejournal. Makes it easier to track hits than by hiding little sensors in each post, certainly. The “my guests” feature is especially engrossing – I never know so many flyby’s happened to old entries!
I’m glad the tv show lost is in it’s final season. I don’t hate the show… but I am tired of the hype. I watched the first season or so, and then stopped, when it occurred to me that they’d keep making shows as long as advertisers would pay to keep ‘em on the air, and not because there’s a solid plot going from beginning to end. I feel the same about Heroes, sadly. If there had been something more engaging than “what is the answer” and one I’d never get, I’d probably dig both of those shows.
Also, I think Blade should’ve been in Twilight, not Buffy. 
New Years, I’m planning on doing the Polar bear plunge, unless my health isn’t into it. Current holiday loot breakdown – all of it wonderful!
Just a reminder to folks on Steam or Windows live gaming – I’m user Scottobear there (and just about everywhere else, too) – If you want to friend me there, please do! I’d love to do a little left 4 dead or borderlands with a pal. My official new year’s resolution for 2010 – do the yearly countdown daily again, if possible.

William, Bryce, Dominic, Dalton, (and Donnie , but he was outside, and didn’t come in) came over for a surprise visit and afternoon of Wii gaming. It seems that Bryce and William’s own Wii was broken, and so they figured they’d swing by our place for some goofing around and general fun.
Bryce was the rare talent today – creamed us at Wii bowling and barely lost mario party 8…. not to mention being a surprise champ at Hey, That’s my fish, and Labyrinth.
It was a pleasant, though chaotic visit… the kids were all very well mannered. They all just piled out of the house to go home to dinner.
(Damien wasn’t here tonight, but he did check out haunted.scottobear.com for the Callis Haunted Adventure earlier this week.
In other gaming news, I won mario party 8 and blokus at the Nailles on Friday night — the trophy is ours once more!
friday –
Gaming with The Nailles, Philomena, Ana – Apples to Apples
yet another quiz –
Rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen tv series you’ve seen all/most of the episodes of that will always stick with you. Series you have bought/would buy on DVD if money was no object. First fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.
Tag fifteen friends, including me because I’m interested in seeing what shows my friends choose.
1. MiddleMan
it just came out on dvd recently! what are we waiting for?
2. Gorilla Girl
doesn’t really exist, but it should. (ok, ok – I’ll put Probe in there – Parker Stevenson needs the money, and I dug it)
3. Rockford Files
A PI that gets beaten up, and isn’t smarter than everyone else.
4. Red Dwarf
Got to love it. No alien life, just stuff from earth. Droid crewmen, hologram crew, way before star trek.
5. Bonanza / Big Valley / Rifleman
They all should be in the same universe.
6. The Dick van Dyke show
Still Great, every time I see it. Beware of alien walnuts!
7. Andy Griffith
Just the black and white episodes.
8. The Complete Dr. Who collection
Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker vs the new guys should be fun viewing.
9. Ugly Betty
BHK got me into this, and it may be jumping the shark now, but I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons
10. Ripley’s Belive it or not
– starring Superman or Curly, either are ok by me.
11. M*A*S*H
Have to steal this from Kath – I really liked the mix of drama and humor a lot.
12. The Prisoner –
thanks to Ray and Kath for this one – I actually own it and secret agent on dvd already.
13. sesame street / electric company / Mr. Rogers neighborhood –
brilliant songs and nostalgia – they cannot be split apart
14. Black Sheep Squadron / Tales of the gold monkey
– my love of corsairs / seaplanes started here.
15. Night court
wonderfully surreal – the green acres of the 80s
Honorable mention: green acres / petticoat junction / hercules & xena /quincy m.e. / mannix / banacek
Hard to believe it’s only been 3 years since I was first planning to visit BHK on her birthday. Funny to me how little I can think of life prior to being married to her, and having our crew of four under the roof.
I’m in the office now, taknig a brief break from gig-searching to catch myself up on LJ. Larry is setting up BHK’s Best Birthday Present Ever ™- a widening of the closet door in our bedroom. For the record, I also proposed to BHK on her birthday, 3 years ago in two weeks. Heck, she’d have wanted closet spasce, even if single.
33333333333333333333333333333333 – Newton’s left foot on the number pad says hello. Pye is sleeping on the purple chair to my left, and Netwon has leapt to the couch on my right (newtcam couch) and will be in sleepytown soon.
Here’s a breakdown of my music via Media Go –
According to my SenseMe playlist – the fastest/happiest song is a three way tie –
Slowest Saddest songs are also a 3-way tie –
I seem to have mostly happy, mid-speed songs in my library.
I am really interested in a few new looney labs releases – Aquarius 2.0 and Chrononauts: The Gore Years expansion
(Chrononauts 1.4 The Gore Years: Like Aquarius, Chrononauts is also about to get upgraded to the new uniform box. But although it will feature a couple of new cards and a new rulesheet, the new edition of Chrononauts won’t be very different from the original. For this reason, and since it’s the fourth printing, they’ve decided to call it version 1.4. However, since a lot has happened since 1999 and Chrononauts is really showing its age, theyere also creating an expansion product that brings the TimeLine into the 21st Century. This packet of 11 cards will feature 5 new Timeline cards (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2008) along with 3 new Patches and 3 new characters who need to change recent events in order to get home. (Of course, it’s called the Gore Years because that’s what the last 8 years are known as to certain time travelers.). Release date: October 23th.
(Martian Fluxx, too, but not as much as the other two)
Additionally – I’d like to try Apophis sometime as a game. Looks neat, and I have all the pieces already to play!

BHK and Mandy out today – they headed to Annapolis and went shopping at Sephora (got makeovers) , Lush (nice smelly soaps), some sammiches at selby, coffee at fab brew.
I stayed home, in fear for my testosterone… Instead, I opted to stretch out my back, I put in 2.5 miles around the neighborhood… it was cloudy, so weather was cooler. After the first half-mile, I was able to stand up straight, and the walk became rather comfortable… I visited the candy store and picked up BHK a praline and some gummy soda-bottles to share along with my primary goal of a bottle of water. At the post office, paperback swap sent me (c/o BHK) The Vesuvius Club (not the graphic edition, just the novel) and Song of Kali – I look forward to reading them both.
Later that afternoon, I gabbed, watched some Bones and played some phase 10 with Chris – The girls brought us home some selby subs – steak and cheese for Chris, uber-veggie for me!
Chris and I are planning to hit the gym sometime soon – it’ll be nice to do some weight training / back strengthening with another guy who knows what I’m dealing with.
He had to do the news starting at 4am tomorrow, so Chris hit the sack at about about 7:30 – BHK and I headed back home (across the street).
Laid back and we played a lot of DS (BHK) and PSP (me) while watching the finale of Burn Notice – we were both rather underwhelmed about the summer closer. Hopefully Psych will take up the slack.
Back is complaining now about the earlier walkies. I forgot to mention that I went with the old gps – made some waypoints – kitten safari, bus stops, etc.
Upon looking at my spinning Scotto heroclix icon… I think I have to update and make a new one for myself, BHK, Newton and Pye.

Got BHK her Birthday present a month early – a green DS lite, with a copy of treasure world. Bugah got a copy too – it’s a pretty addictive game, and it’s fun to drive around listening for found "treasure" while sightseeing areas you might otherwise not go.
Bugah got me back into playing with the PSP, too. MediaGo is a great improvement over the old media player/data transfer. Put a few episodes of the wire on the PSP for the Sleep Study coming up.
Scheduled my sleep study in about a week – new CPAP will be soon to follow. It’ll be the first night since we got married that BHK and I won’t be in the same bed. I doubt I’ll sleep very easily without her nearby.

We went to their place today – played some Can’t Stop (you can get the computer version here) Had some tasty grilled food with them tonight – dogs and burgers with corn on the cob a la BHK, and some awesome potatoes. We’re going to have to recreate those once our garden gives us a few spuds.
Twisted my back a bit more yesterday, just carrying the pizza to the table… hopefully some stretching today will iron it out.

Lunch/ Dinner at Gina’s Cantina – then off to Sam’s club – It turns out that my card from work got understandably canceled – semi annoying since it took a year to get the thing, but it was deactivated withing a week of departing. trouble of a yearly schedule, I suppose.
Tomorrow I do a callback for Georgetown gig? Wish me luck, dear journal!
Nokia developing phone that recharges itself without mains electricity
A new prototype charging system from the company is able to power itself on nothing more than ambient radio waves – the weak TV, radio and mobile phone signals that permanently surround us. The power harvested is small but it is almost enough to power a mobile in standby mode indefinitely without ever needing to plug it into the mains, according to Markku Rouvala, one of the researchers who developed the device at the Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge, UK.
The difference with Nokia’s prototype is that instead of harvesting tiny amounts of power (a few microwatts) from dedicated transmitters, Nokia claims it is able to scavenge relatively large amounts of power — around a thousand times as much — from signals coming from miles away. Individually the energy available in each of these signals is miniscule. But by harvesting radio waves across a wide range of frequencies it all adds up, said Rouvala.
The trick here is to ensure that these circuits use less power than is being received, said Rouvala. So far they have been able to harvest up to 5 milliwatts. Their short-term goal is to get in excess of 20 milliwatts, enough power to keep a phone in standby mode indefinitely without having to recharge it. But this would not be enough to actually use the phone to make or receive a call, he says. So ultimately the hope is to be able to get as much as 50 milliwatts which would be sufficient to slowly recharge the battery.

Contemplating going to Bengie’s Drive-in this weekend. Triple feature of Fanboys, Monsters vs. Aliens and Star Trek a fun, dorky night.
I’m not sure though – I’d prefer to see MvsA in 3-d.
Talked to Danny on the phone tonight – he might be jumping into a game of Champions at his local game store this summer. 150 points – the store used to be the Dragon’s Lair, but it’s now Adventure something or another.
Bro sent me a text from his new phone – I’ll call him tomorrow and see how he sounds. I’m sure he’s happy to be out and about.
No Franklin again this morning – I noticed that the lawn was treated with chemicals – hopefully that kept him away, along with the cold, drizzly rain.
Pull in your tum,
stick out your tush,
wiggle your hips,
now give ’em a push
Godspeed, Captain Chaos
As I was starting to say, I’m glad it’s staying a bit rainy and cool outside… I’m probably the only one who is loving a little soft, cool rain over sun and heat. I’m a hairy, big beast… hm, an excuse for another old Ditko picture, I think, dear journal.
