9587 – Tuesday

Congrats, President Obama! We listened to coverage on CNN radio while I went to the MVA – ( I have to contact the state of Florida for more record info, before I can get my D/L here.  Strike two!)

Soledad O’Brien couldn’t stop talking about "White House was built with slave labor" thing… once worked, thrice is two times too much. Message received, etc.

BHK made this nifty cake for Jay and Sean’s Inauguration party –

Pretty Keen – did a tick for each president prior, in red or blue for republican or democrat – tick marks are black for other (like Whigs or D-R’s)

Says "Time for a Change" with clock hands, and the Obama Logo in the center.

Small gathering, but it was neat to celebrate the changing of the guard. There are going to be a lot of sleepy people in DC tomorrow after all the parties and etc.

9586 -Testing Windows Live Writer

Pretty impressive so far – I like it more than semagic, but I think Google docs is still better overall for my style.

Quick day today, Dropped off at the Library, got some groceries for tomorrow’s inauguration party, picked up some gummy dinosaurs (and hopefully, got an order in for gummy chicken feet for my birthday cake)

Fat-fingered a button, and stupidly invited everyone in my yahoo account to my facebook – Ah well, nobody there that I wouldn’t mind saying hello to, but I hope I didn’t bug my boss.

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.

9583- Friday

Friday at last. Got a long weekend ahead of me – but I’ve got a couple of issues I’ve got to tend to before I fully relax. Two things for work to get in alignment – Wednesday will have to go for it! 4 day weekend ahead. Part of it will be spent celebrating the new prez, but most of it will be just relaxing. I’ll see if BHK wants to go on a little date maybe, too.

Low today of 7 degrees Fahrenheit.  (High of 22). If it’s going to be this cold, it could at least snow, but it is as sunny as can be.

Trimmed back the beard – may return to goatee on the weekend. It’s really good at fighting the cold, though.

Rest in Peace, #6 and Mr. Roarke. I hope the new islands suit you both, glad you spent so much time on this one.


A cat named Sammy was usually seen lounging in the window of the post office in Notasulga, Alabama until someone complained.
*
“They said ‘This is a federal building and he doesn’t pay federal taxes so he can’t come in’,” said postal worker Rochelle Langford.
*
But Sammy’s supporters think they have found a way around the banishment. They have rented a post office box in his name!


Speaking of Orange Kitties –

newt leaps newtcam

Forgot to post this on Monday – Newt leaps in from the side of Newtcam! BHK said that something got into his head and he went on a tear through the house—up and down the stairs and jumping on all the cat furniture. Pye and BHK as usual looked at him like he was a crazy orange beast 😀

BHK picked me up from work tonight – we pretty much came straight home to a cucumber salad, leftover (but delicious) quiche, and a viewing of the first half The Happiness of of Katakuris  – so far, so good.

Farewell, Christmas lights… North Beach is slowly taking them all down. All that remained this morning were the igloo, santa, a reindeer, and one lone tree, where there was once a dozen or so.

Our lights are off, but not yet down – maybe this weekend, the roof will get cleared.

Molecular Analysis Confirms Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Evolutionary Link To Birds

Putting more meat on the theory that dinosaurs’ closest living relatives are modern-day birds, molecular analysis of a shred of 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex protein — along with that of 21 modern species — confirms that dinosaurs share common ancestry with chickens, ostriches, and to a lesser extent, alligators.

9574 – Thursday 1/8/9

Chris’s Merto car conked out – (re-parked with the ignition on) BHK got her from the metro prior to my pickup. She couldn’t reach Larry – his cellpohne was turned off. As a result, Chris came with us to dinner with Tina, at Mexico.

Supper was good, we all chit-chatted a bit – Tina’s going to the inauguration – I’m passing – too crowded and mobby for me. Best to just stay home and enjoy coverage via the news while I relax in my jammies.

newtdroponpyecam

Newton leaping down from his perch – BHK relocated Pyecam for a more worm’s eye view. Newtcam seems less active these days – time to open the windows, maybe.

9571 – Monday

Back to Work! Didn’t kill the beard for now, but it’s still pretty close to the face. Not quite the "wild man from borneo"

I think I bit my lip while sleeping the other night – probably the ear thing again. Pain is mostly gone now, just a little irritant here and again.

Looks like snow outside – very gray day.

0105091536.jpg

My jaw still looks a little out of whack and swollen… but it’s a lot better than before.

After work, BHK and I had Chinese food with In-laws, and discussed birthday plans for me – BHK has an idea for us to go to Puxatawney, PA for Groundhog’s day –

a few links for me to peruse before the trip – http://www.punxsutawney.com/calendar/ and http://www.groundhog.org

It’ll be the 123rd anniversary of the event – and my first time there, though I’ve wanted to go for some time.

Item of note – Phil’s Birthday Celebration, Punxsutawney Community Center, Peterson Room, Come and celebrate your February 2nd birthday Phil’s way. Cake and punch served. Free gift with proof of birth date.

9569 –

I got to skip shots today! BHK and I pretty much just took it easy. We watched a good bit of TV – The first and second "Librarian" movies – cute for made for TNT flicks. We still have the third on the recorder. I also watched an episode of Freakylinks – forgot how inspired by Blair Witch the show was. I may or may not watch the remaining episodes, depending on how much shaky-cam film style I can take.

Ear ache is really rough today, but the compresses improve matters a *lot*.

Pictures are of a model house burning down at the local motorcylce store’s train display (the same one with the squirrels) – not to woory – this model is designed to look like it’s burning down, complete with smoke and lights.

Farewell, 2008! It was a pretty nice time, all told.

In attendance to watch the ball drop (and play some Arkham horror, Witch Trial, If Wishes were fishes, Easter Island, etc)

[edit – I won Easter Island, Either Amy or BHK won Witch Trial(I have since forgotten) , Nobody won Arkham Horror(AIEE!), and Shaun won If Wishes Were Fishes.]

BHK, the in-laws, Shaun W, and Amy all made it to hang out, eat snacks, and stay up until the extra :60 rolls over.

until I recap more, have some spooky christmas decoration photos taken up the street.

BHK seems to really like Orioles!

She and I went to Geppi’s ( http://www.geppismuseum.com/ ) and the Ravens / Orioles Stadium was between the parking and the entrance – see also, the Babe Ruth Museum, not shown.

 Gabby Hayes has been a running gag for us, since before we were married.

in other news –
 

According to Bulletin C of the International Earth Rotation Service:

 

A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2008. The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:

    2008 December 31, 23h 59m 59s
    2008 December 31, 23h 59m 60s
    2009 January     1,   0h   0m   0s

The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:

    from 2006 January 1, 0h UTC, to 2009 January 1 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = – 33s
    from 2009 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice           : UTC-TAI = – 34s

This means that tomorrow, 3:59:59 PM PST will be followed by 3:59:60 PM PST prior to the advent of 4:00:00 PM PST.
