doodle - 4/16/10

Had the in-laws over for supper – cooked hot dogs (meat for everyone but me, veggie dogs for myself.)

Finally got the taxes out of the way – there was an issue with last year’s digital signature – fortunately, it’s now a pretty well known issue with the IRS – if you didn’t file before a certain time, just make your AGI 0 rather than what was actually made, and it’ll pass through with no problem.

Neighbor Chris looks to be mending ok – I have been wanting to spend more time with him – hopefully he’s getting as much rest as possible – I know how mending from back surgery can be.

A return to doodle posts?

IA7C29_0961C9E425248_002

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.

9720 – sun

As always, Happy Birthday, Oneeyedcat! We Love you and yours!

We slept in this morning, after the late night out… Chris and Larry stopped by to check out the garden, and bring us some biscuits and bacon… (I focused on the former, BHK, the latter, of course.)

While folding laundry, We watched the first episode of Primeval: Season 3 . Looks like it’s off to a good start.

Later, Chris and Larry came back over, and we grilled, as is our thing lately… meat burgers for the in-laws, veggie-burgs for BHK and me. Baked beans, cole slaw, some of the most awesome corn on the cob of the season, and tasty mac & cheese. It’s hard to diet with this much good food nearby.

BHK made key lime pie for dessert, and we watched the end of The Last Templar – it started strong, but petered out – I can’t recommend it. I do recommend BHK’s key lime pie, though.

9585 – Sunday

Slow, lazy day today. We slept extra late, napped while watching Pick of Destiny, went to Aardvark’s, said hi to Shaun, Margaret, and Mike, picked up a few video tapes for 4 bits apiece, I had a bit of a blackout/tunnel vision event that I’m chalking up to low blood sugar for now (recovered after swigging a coke) , and then headed off to Mexico for a bite of supper.

When we got home, we snuggled up again like happy little bugs in a rug and watched the inauguration concert on the boob tube.

Misc doodle done – groundhog, BHK’s backache, metro bus, dandilion, me teaching the boys to dance, zombie snowman and so on.

9522 – Thursday, continued.

A quick lunchtime fill-in.

More Flurries this morning – I’ve been having a rough time lately with my back and the cold, but it’s getting a bit better as I go.

Moodwise,  I’ve been feeling pretty down here and there for the last month or so – Stress, back issues, and some poor gut-level stuff. I’m working on feeling better about things – I just have to remind myself that there is a positive destination in sight. I’m glad that BHK and the kitties are on my team, and that my teeth are all fixed.

Some good things ahead – 4-day weekend for Thanksgiving, Christmas is coming, Computer seems to be working well.

BHK and I have made some headway with new friends – The Manspergers and Shaun W. It’s always nice to meet nice people and goof with them. Alice came out of the woodwork, and we spent the day with her at the museum after a spot of lunch at papermoon.

One or two of our other friends have dwindled into the mists recently – Who knows if we’ll get a chance to hang out for the holiday(s) in the next month or so? I haven’t really seen hide nor hair of Tina or Cyn – maybe BHK and I can lure some folks (new or old) up to Gina’s Cantina for some snackies sometime soon.

Speaking of snackies – BHK made some pea soup, with a side of boca burger sammich (replay of yesterday’s foodies)…. good stuff, just right for the weather today. I’d best get on that.

In other news –
I still have no beard.

BHK made tofu curry / vinegar soup – pumpkin muffins. Awesomely good food, and it makes it feel like autumn is coming.

Sunday – 9400

Larry’s Birthday – He made pancakes for us all… Tigger nearly escaped the house, and is now no longer allowed on the porch.. purely an indoor kitty.

BHK made a lemon cake, an we gave him a lemon meringue pie and tickets to the bluegrass festival. (and the first three lethal weapon movies on dvd)

Adam brought a keen gift of fridge and microwave combo for his workshop… and stocked it with 5 cases of soda and water.

After the get-together, BHK and I headed home to get some rest… I think we fell asleep on the couch within moments of landing there. We were awakened by neighbor Daniel (10) at the door, wanting to visit and gab because he was bored. We talked a lot about social topics a 10 year old might have, like school, movies etc. – Buckaroo Banzai was on, mute dint the background, and was an interesting juxtaposition of listening to the little guy gab.

He eventually went home, and we had sloppy joes and garlic fries for supper – super yummy.

Danny and Mom phoned… or I phoned them, I forget which. I think I called Danny, the momster called me. Just general catching up, both are doing ok.



Autumn is coming… that’s when BHK gets her pumpkin eyes.

Friday 9398 –

I neglected to mention that the love cube (our Honda element) is now repaired… they replaced the whole hood – BHK think that it may be from a different model, and she might be right. I haven’t seen any good photos of 2006 vs other element hoods online yet, but we’ll get to the bottom of it, if it requires us to go to a car lot somewhere and look in person.

Last night at about 5:30ish, there was a storm that knocked out power to both Chesapeake Beach and North Beach… not to mention the surrounding towns, too. No juice means no oven, and since I was still dressed from work, I figured it’d be nice to take BHK out to dinner, seeing as she’s been craving meatballs all day. We tried Ledos, Asia Cafe and Mama Lucia’s north to no avail.. apparently everyone else had the same idea about eating out… even mexico was too mobbed, so we continued onwards to Mama Lucia’s south – The service was a bit on the weak side until BHK politely asked the waitress (while I was washing my hands in the men’s room) . Service improved after that…. we got home and both towns were still dark, save for places with generators.

I used the flashlight on my key chain to get us inside, and we lit a few rechargeable candle-style lamps for some ambient light. We have access to a lot of battery-powered light – cell phones, pda, laptops, flashlights… I think we could go days without running totally out of lamp-juice. That said – I want to recharge the candle-lights, since we hadn’t done them fully beforehand.The emergency flashlight and radio lit up the bathroom area nicely as a night lite – we opened the bedroom windows and went to bed, hoping that the heat wouldn’t be too bad… it wasn’t… but poor BHK didn’t sleep very well… I was snoring big time, as the CPAP runs on juice, too. Next time, I’ll bring the UPS from the computer room in to run it.

So, power was restored at about 2am this morning, and we were all able to get an hour or two’s rest before it was time for me to get up and get rolling to work. I hope to catch a little nap sometime tomorrow in order to try and catch up.

Today is Chris and Larry’s 33rd wedding anniversary, and plans are to hit Selby Sub Shop for a nice little nosh. We’ve got to pick up a lemon meringue pie and sneakily get it past the parental guards.

9389 – Thursday

Went the dentist – got a temp filling and I need a crown. Later at dinner, the temp filling fell out, but it’s aok for now.

Went to the Walgreens and I got BHK a pedegg – foot callous remover and orange zester, apparently. I think it’s a pretty surreal device, and is more surreal to me en espanol.

Watched latest Psych and Dragon’s Den… that’s about it!



Hey, Thanks, Knife-wielding robot! You’re not as dangerous as you sound, I guess!

I just realized something about German boardgames. Seldom do you see dice. Cards are drawn and are sometimes used as randomizers, but you can still play the odds a bit – it’s rare to roll the ol’ bones. I wonder why?



Bengie’s is showing Wall-E, Dark knight and step brothers… I don’t think that I care to see Dark knight again, so it looks like we’ll wait another week or so before our return trip to the drive-in.



Follow up on the mayor’s “drug raid / dog shooting” indecent. He’s completely innocent, it seems. Prince George’s County Police really fouled up, in my opinion. That and the armed car chase through my neighborhood (well outside PG county jurisdiction) only adds to my problem with that organization. Some sort of Internal Affairs review needs to be done… but it seems unlikely.

“The mayor’s counsel also disputes authorities claims that they killed the dogs, Chase and Payton, because one of the dogs was coming at officers. Maloney says one dog was running away and the other was shot some distance from the front door.

Still, county law enforcement officials say they do not owe the Calvo’s an apology. Chief High defended the officers actions, but expressed regret over the death of the dogs.”


As someone that’s been at swat team gunpoint more than once… (06/02/2001 when my landlord went loopy with his guns over his face cancer and 02/24/2004 once when my bro committed “grand theft boat”.) – I can honestly say that sometimes the police has good reason to hold someone under potential deadly force. I’m thankful that neither I nor Newton were shot



Well, bro is right on the border of the 44 violation points rule. (he has exactly 44 points)(pdf info ) If convicted of all of his charges, he could either do under a year in county jail, or over a year in state prison.

from here

If total points are equal to or less than 44, the lowest permissible sentence is a non-state prison sanction (however state prison up to the statutory maximum can be imposed).

If total points exceed 44, the minimum sentence is established by taking the total point value subtracting 28 and decreasing the remaining value by 25%. This end result value is the lowest permissible prison sentence in months.

This means than only those offenders scoring 44 or less points may receive a non- state prison sanction under the code. All others must receive a state prison sanction, absent downward departure from this structure. The threshold under the guidelines for mandatory prison incarceration was 52 points.

and from here

The magic number is 44: Anyone scoring above 44 points “must” be sentenced to state prison under the Code. However, the plea bargaining process can a) reduce the number of counts charged, b) have an agreement not to score certain items, c) substitute charges, d) reduce the actual count charged, or e) several other creative techniques can be used to get someone sentenced to a non-incarcerative sentence. Note the departure grounds under Rule 3.992(b), but also note the actual language of the “Sentence Computation” because someone charged with a felony can be sentenced to state prison even if the score fewer than 44 points. For this reason, felony cases are always very serious legal matters.


For his Faces of Evil project, Hans Weishäupl made composite photographs of the world’s worst dictators by photographing hundreds of people in each dictator’s country and stitching them together. The results are a bit disturbing, particularly when viewing very large, clear, vibrant color photos of long-dead monsters like Stalin or Hitler. (via conscientious)

9328 – friday

Just a note to mention how much I love BHK. beyond quantification. Lots. and Lots. She’s the most amazing person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

Misc doodles done recently on the palm – the medical stats are from my last epidural, both before and after. The fish or carrot eating firebutt and frank oz (with hair) guy are from the avectra meeting break. I was surprised, because I was the only one there wearing a tie… Frank Oz guy was hypnotic in his tone of voice.

Other stuff is from the bus ride – still congested, doc’s appt, and a random blue ghost with newtcam. the little gray slug is something pye was chasing that night.
