8800 – fore sex

Added a new word to my lexicon – SMIB– southern Maryland inbred.

Apparently they can be seen at k-mart in St Mary’s on Friday nights.


Journey to DC on our Good Friday Vacation day! Lovely long walk… Assorted photos from the trip. Hover for details, or click to embiggen.

I really dug the subway and metro system – Cherry blossoms were fairy roughed up due to the cold patch, but the monument walk and time out with BHK was really quite wonderful. Ended at the Pentagon mall, had some johnny rockets fries and such, then headed on home… (but not before stopping at a really great deli to get some easter cookies and treats!)

8798 – foe foe

Sakes, I’m more of a victim of the 80’s than I thought. The Transformers movie looks really appealing to me. (ninja turtles, not as much, but I still wouldn’t have any problems checking it out on DVD)

I can’t believe that it’s been 20 years since I graduated from high school.

In other media news, there are a few movies out or coming soon that I’m interested in.

Meet the Robinsons will be hard pressed to fail me, because it’s based on William Joyce’s stuff.

BHK seems more enthused than me about blades of glory, but I’m sure I’ll get some good giggles out of it.

The Last Mimzy could be good or it could be dung. I’m going to expect a weak sci-fi flick and hope for it to be better.

Reign Over Me has my same expectations as above. The content will have to be handled well.

The whole getting 18 hours of netflix online a month with my dvd subscription is pretty dang keen, too. Introduced BHK to Red Dwarf, and she seemed to like it.

I fear that I’ll not get as much out of Grindhouse as possible, due to the over-promotion of it. Sort of like snakes on a plane – I think I’m possibly sick of it before I’ve even seen the movie.

8797 – for-tree

A different employee got the database gig I applied for – primarily because he’d been at tech for 8 mos. I was told that otherwise, it was a tie.

That said, his position is opening up here now — perhaps I can boost the next one that comes along.

Going to Cyn’s new space in DC on Good Friday – seems that the location is excellent and that there’s a Burlesque / Fringe fest thing taking place there soon.


Dinner last night at Cathy and Dave’s – really yummy they always put out a good spread (Cheese & Crackers, Tortellini, spinach w/garlic, garlic bread, fruit tart – all tasty and dee-lish). It was the first time I’d been to the place during the daylight hours, so I got the full yard-tour of the back, groundhog hole, wildlife camera and all. Apparently they get quite a few deer and the occasional red fox when the time is right. We played eight hands of fluxx – 3 to Allison, 2 to Cathy, 2 to me, and one to Dave. Zoë-kitty was shy, but came out by the end of the night.

I’ve been missing BHK quite a bit while I’m at work. I hate to seem so clingy, but I just love having her nearby.

Looks like it’s going to be cold and rainy this weekend – I hope the cherry blossoms hold out until we get there on Friday. All of the trees are starting to show the yellow-green of new buds… Springtime seems so much more colorful in Maryland than Florida . Come summertime, the yellow aspect will fade to a deeper, more mature green, but for now there’s a lighter highlight to everything. Even the pear trees are replacing the white blooms with more interspersed green canopy.

For a Monday, this wasn’t bad at all. Imaged a few machines, was contacted by a possible gig (one that’s off near Dulles Airport, which is something like 90+ minutes away) Discovered that one of my online resumes had a typo in the phone number and have since corrected it.

You can watch video on demand on netflix now! I thought that was an april fools joke!

Spoke with Cathi and Dave last night, and it had been quite a little while. Hailey is all about speeding about from point to point like a pinball, while Mayah is a bit more reserved. I was saddened to hear that Kringle-kitty was put to sleep on Halloween last year… he broke his hip and at 19 it didn’t want to heal up. Zen-kitty and Luna-pooch are still going like gangbusters, and are mighty friendly to one another, too. Kim and her husband got a divorce, but Leisa and Brian are still together. Apparently they’re not doing the NC move for sure now… maybe I can court ‘em up to DelMarVa?

Newton was exhibiting some dominant behavior over Pye… standing over him, mouth on the back of his neck. Not biting hard, but definitely had a grip going. Pye didn’t seem too upset about it – I think that he’s pretty darn passive about the whole pecking order deal.

8795 – April Fool’s.

Rode with Tina and BHK to urgent care over chest congestion – seems like sinus infections related to allergies is the rule of the day. Larry fixed our fence, and paced out the back yard for the garden.

Saw Joe Magnolia at the pharmacy funny how “Joe Magnolia-y” he looks. Black tracksuit, gray hair held back with tonic.

Received this text message on April fool’s. I have a strong idea where it came from, but I’m not too concerned about the content –

“you live amid lies and deception. you’re being used. all you’ve suspected is real.”

I counter with a picture of a garden gnome looking malicious.

Dinner with BHK and Cyn after watching Cyn do ink on a client’s ankle – Mardi Gras mask and beads. It was very pretty—lots of greens and peacock feathers. Afterward, we went to the Mexico restaurant and got some yummy foodies.

Back is a bit better today… I think that I just pulled a muscle, thank goodness. A few pain spikes during the day, but nothing totally debilitating. I should have no problem by tomorrow afternoon. BHK is on the wost part of her cold… Hopefully she’ll mend up quickly under Dr. Scotto as I did under her care.

Taking it slow and easy today – back got pretty bad last night, but dr bhk and the nurse-kitties set me to feeling better this morning. Watching movies and internetting are about all I’m up to doing today.

I wonder how much of my cough is from springtime? The plum trees, japanese magnolia (I think) and willows are all ready to rock and roll. BHK brought me some flower seeds for our garden out back.


I just remembered… the best part of 300 was a preview for HOT FUZZ. – it looks great.


Found out bro is living with the girl who sent him to jail, and lied in court to cover her butt. He’s been behaving quite badly since he got out, and I suspect he’ll be back in before we know it. (he got a year’s probation, narrowly dodging 3-5 years in the clink)

8784 – fresh Haircut

run forrest!

Run, Forrest!

A bit shorter than I’d planned, but I think it looks ok. certainly good in the warmer weather that’s coming. Spring has pretty much sprung. Green shoots are coming out of trees everywhere. (Not to mention a lot of pink and white buds on plant life, as well.)

Not sure about the cause, but I’ve been coughing today… to add injury to insult, I coughed so hard that I threw out my lower back. Walking is a bit of a chore… we went to the Amish Market but I wasn’t up for a long trek through uneven terrain, so we went on a driving tour instead in the love cube (after BHK picked up a shoofly pie from one of the vendors). BHK’s got a little ickies chasing her down, too.

Swung by Arizona Pizza for a later din-din with Tina, but between my ickies, and the general food quality of the place – not much was consumed by me. The visual ambience and smells were fantastic.. maybe it just takes a better server and/or ordering something different from the menu next time.
