Hm… some more good reviews on the DC to NYC bus – I wonder how much cheaper it is than the speedy-train?

BHK talked to PG county’s Sheriff’s Internal Affairs about the car chase a little while back. I’ll be interested to see what comes of it – I only wish I would’ve been home with her at the time.

Treat from BHK! Yum. Tastes great,
looks far too brown for human consumption.

Found out yesterday that someone I used to know very well is very deep in debt. I wonder what happened? I probably really don’t want to know.

We haven’t seen Louise for a month… I wonder where she’s been?

Flying_blind has a better entry about the ljopoly board and a lot of the recent drama – than I would make, so here’s a link.

I’m backing up my LJ pretty much once a week, just so I have a copy for when either inclination or necessity require me to put my stuff either on my own website, or transfer it to a different one. I suspect that neither will happen too soon, but it’s probably going to take place eventually.

Cruel 2 B Kind is a game of benevolent assassination.

At the beginning of the game, you and a partner-in-crime are assigned a secret weapon. To onlookers, it will seem like a random act of kindness. But to a select group of other players, the seemingly benevolent gesture is a deadly maneuver that will bring them to their knees.

Some players will be slain by a serenade. Others will be killed by a compliment. You and your partner might be taken down by an innocent group cheer.

You will be given no information about your targets. No name, no photo, nothing but the guarantee that they will remain within the outdoor game boundaries during the designated playing time. Anyone you encounter could be your target. The only way to find out is to attack them with your secret weapon.

Watch out: The hunter is also the hunted. At the beginning of the game, you and your partner will also be assigned your own secret weakness. Other pairs of players have been given your secret weakness as their secret weapon, and they’re coming to get you. Anything out of the ordinary you do to assassinate YOUR targets may reveal your own secret identity to the other players who want you dead.

Netforum 2006/01 or /02? Upgrade is looking pretty essential. That’s been part of my work lately, reviewing the next build and how well it’ll get into place. I just want it to be as seamless as possible… minimise any growing pains.

Being a giant guy has the side effect of being used as a mobile landmark. I’ve had folks tell their kids that if the get lost, look for me in a crowd. Not for me to babysit ’em, just that my head and shoulders tend to bob above other folks nearby. Also, it appears that I’m one of those “hey, I know you” types. I look both kind and trustworthy as well as looming and scary. I guess it depends on if I’ve shaved around the goatee and am more awake than walking dead. (In that case, folks cross the street to get away from me.) I’ve been in Maryland for about eight months now, and my newest gig just one. I’ve already been invited to a lot of picnics, parties, etc…. I don’t think it’ll be too long before the combination of North Beach’s small-townishness and other friendlies at work spirals it back up to a broader friends base. Right now I’m still a bit of “BHK’s Hubby” or “Larry’s Son-in-law”.

Back in the old days (when I was in high school and thereabouts) I was Mr. connected. Everyone knew me, or knew of me through someone else. I’m not sure how that happened, but I suspect it’s a side effect of the landmark issue above. I seldom bothered anyone, and folks rarely gave me any guff. I’m not as connected anymore – living in a new state, new job, etc. This came up during a little message exchange with Sirenity… regarding people who get talked to or “hey do I know you”ed a lot.

Dreamt of a white panel van with the word destruction on it. – BHK and I were hunting down somebody who sold us a faulty bed. We were pretty mad…. I wonder what we were going to do once we got the guy? That has no relation to the sailboat dream where all we had to eat was trader joes snacks that had gone stale. We were trapped on a catamaran with a big bag of stale crisps and candy-coated sunflower seeds… and no clean water.

Picked up a pair of new shirts, and two new ties. I never thought I’d ever own a purple shirt I could wear to work. I *really* never thought I’d ever wear a tie to work. Who knew? I actually enjoy putting on a corporate noose every here and again, even though it’s not required wear in the office. It makes me feel a bit more professional and has the sense of a “uniform” to keep me a bit more focused on my tasks.

Sting from the Macaroni Grill wasp has completely faded.. .it really didn’t feel like a sting so much as a very brief electrical shock followed by swelling.

Chore Wars lets you claim experience points for household chores. By getting a few people in your house or workplace to sign up, you can assign experience point rewards to individual chores, and see how quickly each of you levels up. Experience points are tracked both as weekly high-score charts, and as ongoing character sheets – every time you rack up 200XP of chores, your character gains a “level”, and their class changes to match the type of chores that they’ve been doing. (here’s my character, if you want to invite me to your party )

Apparently, Comcast out here doesn’t like livejournal’s dns… and flickr’s…and yahoo… and a bunch of job-seeking sites. so much for getting work or play done online! I was able to do a few things through anonymous proxies online, but I’m not putting my passwords through there.

On 04/18/2007 between the hours of 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, the Town of North Beach experienced a sewerage discharged from Man Hole # 33 located on Bay Ave between 5th St. and 7th St.  In a 3-hour period an estimated amount of 180 gallons of sewerage discharged overflowed from the manhole into the Chesapeake Bay via the storm drain located next to the manhole.  The affected surface area was blocked off and cleaned. The cause was a blockage in the down stream main line located on 5th St.BTW Bay Ave and R261.  This section of line has a belly or depression and has frequently been a problem in the past. The line was jetted and cleared of blockage and is operational.

There has been non-stop work today. If it isn’t actual duties, the phones haven’t stopped ringing.

Random Factoid – the first deer that RD ever shot was a hermaphrodite. Apparently, that’s not too unusual, given how incestuous those guy/gal critters are.

Dreamt last night that I was telling folks about BHK taking the bar exam, and *everyone* was giving back a lame joke of “how hard is it to make a martini” or “have her bring home a mai-tai for me” sort of thing.

Saturday we get together for dinner with Amy. I have a huge urge to go to the Baltimore / National Aquarium. Maybe if one doesn’t happen this weekend, the other shall? If not, there’s always next weekend!

BHK teases me because I talk about stuff with her about who I talked to at work that day. She already knows and likes JD & RD despite not having met them yet.

Fix at the dump was easy, once we found out that they had the gate arm-lift plugged into the server’s UPS. D’oh. Trouble was compounded by folks claiming nothing had changed.

Today I discovered that “the cage” (where we send all of our discarded equipment for future review that may never come, a la the warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones) is located behind the detention center. All it’s going to take is one evil MacGuyver / Lex Luthor-type SMIB to bust out of jail to create a giant robot out of old dell monitors and forklift parts. Of course, the robot will probably turn on his creator and eventually begin a master Ultron-esque rampage to end all human life as we know it to be replaced by a more reasonable technology-based race. Ah well.

I’d rather go halfway…Make mine MODOK! (Hm, I may need to edit this icon to have BHK, Pye, and Newt all in Modok bodies)

I rec’d this in my email today – re: condo commando HB –

Late this afternoon he was arrested by Broward deputies here. I saw him handcuffed in the parking. Don’t have many details, but it almost certainly must have been for illegal entry (or something like that) into an apartment in A building occupied by a woman renting. We will know more tomorrow since all this should be a public record.

Rainy, wet day today… but that’s just all right with me. The gray skies throw the greens of the local flora into sharp contrast. Today is also my first official payday since 2006. I think that the last 3-4ish months were something else, but it’s really good to be back in the saddle and getting something accomplished that puts some coin in the bank. This one doesn’t quite cover the mortgage, but it’ll surely help. Next one will be even better, since it’ll be nearly 2 full weeks (less Good Friday).

Last night, BHK and I totally slacked off after grocery shopping. We nibbled on chips, cookies and soda-pop in front of the Tv for a bit, before.

Whoopsied on my auto-deploy for the lj entries – I’ll have to go back and redo the dates for m/t/w. Queue dropped them in a timely way, but not backdated how I like.

Grindhouse may be a possibility this weekend if BHK is into it.

Today’s lunch is pretty dang good – Cashew Butter on Hawaiian sweet roll, the last of the heard-boiled easter eggs, mac & cheese, last of the green beans, and a pair of cherry coke zeroes.

4:29PM – I’m doing telekinetic experiments in my cube. So far, nothing has levitated. Ah well, time to go!

Door codes were changed again when one of the team unthinkingly gave them to the air conditioning repair guy. It’s a shame, because the old code was very easy for me to remember, because it had good obscure geek significance for a 5-digit number … the one prior had a nice, fast keypad pattern that worked well. This new one is easy enough to remember, because of something totally unrelated, but it’ll be hard for some folks to hang on to. At least it’s not a 10-digit sequence.

The funny thing was people talking about other folks hacking the code … the easiest way to get any number is by social engineering, and the folks are so friendly and unassuming here that I think someone fairly slick could get it without anyone even knowing that it had been picked up. That’s one of the things I like about this place, though … sort of a small town feel, where everyone knows everyone else. It fosters a strong sense of community and camaraderie.

Try #2 at the temp gig – second verse, different than the first, I hope. An interview at St Mary’s College as the web-guy on Thursday, too!

BHK and I made up for lost time yesterday and picked up a few work clothes, and stumbled over one of her ex-employees from about a decade ago. Fun to compare BHK’s bookstore past to my own…she and I have had a lot of parallel development over the last decade and a half (or so) – not to mention the vast divergence in said development, too. Environment / Nature comes up with a few unusual branches there… more to follow when I’m not bolting out the door.

Saw David and Gill to the Metro station… from there, they’re off to New York.

Piccies from metro [edit – to follow once a better net connection appears]

Emergency Preparedness meeting went ok, plans have to be drawn up for notifications, evacuations, and other levels of distress (boil water, etc)

After the meeting, I took a little walk by the store, an got some of those St. Patty’s Day Irish “Potato” candies for BHK (coconut cream rolled in cinnamon – the candy, not Bhk)… dang yummy (both BHK and the candy)! (not these that missv pointed me to, but dang tasty, nonetheless)

We returned late, and missed going to see 300 with chrishaas and cath555 – maybe next go ’round!

Birdwatching / dinner with the In-laws (Bhk made a ploy for them to get Tigger adopted – if they don’t take him, we’ll very likely integrate him here with us.)

Had yummy chinese food at the in-laws with bhk, some of the best I’ve had in quite a while. odd not having so many delivery places, but the food is superior.

First sentences of the year –

January- 8079 – Welcome, 2006!

February- 8156 – Odd, considering yesterday’s news, that I took Wilt and the Momster to see The Matador last night (Was going to do Kong again, but a 3 hour movie on a “school night” is a no no for me)…sort of a chaotic film, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in particular, but I liked it, after a fashion.

March- 8215 – Argh, try as I may, I missed free pancake day

April- 8282 – Well, I went and got a Nikon coolpix l2 (the 6 megapixel version)at office depot on sale.. got a 1 gig memory card to go with it.

May- 8332 – The Sarah Jane episode of Dr. Who didn’t disappoint, and it was delightful to see both her and K9 again.

June-8384 – Lunching with mom after work, catching up on family business, and will generally gab.

July-8434 – Today is a better day.

August-8489 – Sharks don’t have knees.

September-8536 – An object at rest cannot be stopped!

October-8580 – Sunday return!

November-8628 – Happy All Saint’s Day!

December-8664 – first day of my new life in md.

27 degrees tonight, 35, feels like 32 right now. Yikes. I’m glad for a fishbowl-like living room that can absorb sunlight and heat so readily. Flurries tomorrow, maybe!

Beautiful full moon last night. I’ll post some pics once the images get to flickr. Bright orange, over the bay, christmas lights and sand.

Review from Patton Oswalt re: HANNIBAL RISING

It’s like reading fan fiction. It’s that bad. How depressing. I love Thomas Harris’ books, but this one…it even has a climax where our hero looks skyward and yells, “NOOOOOOOOOO!”

Which is what I did, when I read it.

Santa’s evil sidekick gives jolly fright to kids

By Alexandra Zawadil Wed Dec 6, 1:49 AM ET

GRESTEN, Austria (Reuters) – As Christmas nears, Austrian children hoping for gifts from Santa Claus will also be watching warily for “Krampus”, his horned and hairy sidekick.

In folklore, Krampus was a devil-like figure who drove away evil spirits during the Christian holiday season. Continue reading 8671 – →

Wiped out again last night – it seems like everyone at the office has some sort of assorted yuck, from flu to worse. I think GG and LD are the only ones showing some form of immunity. I look forward to a solid night’s rest this weekend.

A Florida woman has been awarded $11.3 million in a defamation lawsuit against a Louisiana woman who posted messages on the Internet accusing her of being a “crook,” a “con artist” and a “fraud.”

Legal analysts say the Sept. 19 award by a jury in Broward County, Fla. — first reported Friday by the Daily Business Review — represents the largest such judgment over postings on an Internet blog or message board. Lyrissa Lidsky, a University of Florida law professor who specializes in free-speech issues, calls the award “astonishing.”

I thought I posted my 6am entry, but maybe I forgot to hit submit. I’ll check when I get back to the grotto. D’oh!

Crazy busy activity outside on the way to the bus this morning. Folks inside stores, renovating, and the parking lots and roads seemed fairly bristling with manned vehicles.

October 25, 2006 – 2pm. Going to be good.

vade mecum: a book or other thing that one regularly carries about. (Vade mecum is from Latin, literally meaning “go with me.”)

Hm.. outside of essentials, like money, bus pass and keys, I always carry my little tokens (whisker, monkey bead), PDA and digicam (in a utility pouch on my belt).

I wonder what other stuff folks carry daily… do people do rabbit’s feet anymore? Pocket dictionaries? Penknives?

Strange activity on my Myspace page –

This user’s profile has been temporarily disabled for special maintenance.
The profile will be available again shortly.
Sorry for the inconvenience. 9/12/2006

“Special Maintenance?” What does that mean?

I really only use the page to keep tabs on a few buddies that can’t be bothered to do anything in lj. (or supplement lj with other stuff there) I have a lot of buddies that have multiple journals, and it’s sort of odd to me… I can hardly stay on top of this one, these days. Some folk have a type pad and a vox and a GJ an LJ a DJ and whatever other “J’s” there are… I don’t seem visit many sites hosted by blogger anymore. I wonder why that is?

I’m just glad that I have a “blogroll” that I can click up and down, and see who’s updated what, and when.

Venture brothers “fallen arches” was back on track. Nice to see Orph with his own team. Nice use of Ouroboros and the All-Seeing Eye as a logo, too.

Ah, explanation why that notification thing only worked for some people before.

James Good (the same guy that made this video) has more aerial photos taken with his RC airplane over Miami..shots from about 800 feet up, and stunning.

Voted Yesterday – these guys were who I was rooting for. Let’s hope most follow through, and only a bare minimum kick me in the pelotas.

Warm, still air on the balcony this morning. Newt’s lazing on the edge of the table, and we’re both enjoying sounds of the outdoors. The fountain in center of the lake, a light variety of birdsong, and Blackie having an argument with Faraday while I type on lappie’s mushy keyboard.

Slacking by spending far too long on lj, catching up with my reading and commenting hither and yon, where applicable. Graypumpkin had a moment of synchronization with one of the artists for Teen Titans (and The Coming Legion of Super Heroes cartoon) over a third-rate Marvel villain by the name of Gamecock.

Nice time out with mental_circles and an assortment of other lj-folks – Was surprised to see grrwoo there (I hadn’t seen him since ldy last in town, a couple of years ago), not as surprised to see sammystudio, and met some keen new folks in newbabel (Frank), _chandra (Chandra), home_grown_cl (Carol Lynn) and hedache (Baruk). Light convo and dumb jokes abounded over at the kids side of the table, good cheer was had by all – surprisingly little drama considering the diversity of lj-folks. A guitarist playing 70’s hits was faint but pleasant background noise. There were three tardy arrivals, whose names are eluding me now, in the haze of the morning light. They were cool, too, but on the other side of the table’s horizon, so regular convo with them was more difficult. Anyhow, I had a nice time at the “kids table”. Tina’s haircut is much cuter in person.

I’ll post pics later on, when I can be bothered to get up and go to the other room to get the camera. [edit:added.]
