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.

Zonking out early .. poor BHK has had too much holiday excitement, I tihnk!

Friday – Out-of-whack

Leave a comment

1115081732, originally uploaded by scottobear.

Forgotten image taken by BHK on our trip to the Baltimore museum with Alice. I actually rather enjoyed the giant magnetic poetry room.

Still feeling a bit out-of-whack, but getting there. Did walkies today, and we made it to the post office, goodie shop, and candy store – maybe not the most healthy way to go for a nice constitutional, but I do love the sponge candy.

Friday!

Date night! Where are we off to? Christmas Lights in Annapolis, I think. I’m looking forward to a nice weekend with BHK – it seem slong overdue.

I suspect that JJ Abrams will make it tough for me to interest BHK in the new star Trek movie. (She wasn’t too crazy about Cloverfield… or Lost. or Fringe… or.. ) For that matter, I gave up on Season 2 of Lost, episode 1 of Fringe, and Swarm of the Snakehead is more my idea of a fun monster movie than Cloverfield. – all of which fairly split me from most of the Science Fiction fans out there.

However, I still want to see the new trek, even if it is 90210 in outer space, with Winona Ryder, and Bana as a Romulan with a Scottish Accent. I think I’ve got her sold on the gal who plays uhura and the guy from Harold and kumar.

misc thoughts recently, most from today –

Scott is ready for date night!

Scott is impressed by sublimation. (It is a common experience to observe the disappearance of snow from the ground even though the temperature is below the freezing point and liquid water is never present.)

Scott believes that any tool is a weapon if you hold it right. (and vice versa).

Scott frequently prefers leftovers to the first time "put on the plate" food.

Scott loves working on the 11th floor. Snow is falling UP past my window. 

 

Scott wouldn’t bother with silver bullets to fight werewolves. Silver buckshot, maybe.

Valve was offering Half-Life for just 98¢ in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the company’s debut title – I had to pick it up – I’m only a decade behind for not playing it! Even my brother had it for about 2 years, and I just never got around to it.

BHK made some yummy stroganoff noodles with pseudo-meat patties… really tasty and delicious, though I’m still totally gaga about the shepherd’s pie.

Took it easy tonight – I found out that Amy won’t be here until Monday or so, due to her mom having some health issues – nothing new, and I think her mom will be OK. I hope Amy’s feeling all right when she gets here, too.

Not much mention of today’s historical significance at the office, and in town short of seeing more American flags here and there. Radio and TV however had it going constantly. Folks seem to forget the pentagon side of things, with the towers filling up the majority of memory.

Don Gorske of has eaten 23,000 Big Macs over the past 36 years. Wow! That’s got to be at least a two or three pounds of meat, total.

Meme of the moment:

::three joys::

  • when work is productive
  • down time
  • waking up next to bhk with newton and pye in the bed

::three fears::

 

  • accidentally hurting others
  • failing myself and others
  • dangerously predatory animals, including people

::three current obsessions::

  • Immediate Family
  • Games (both Electronic and tabletop)
  • Middleman TV show

::three surprising facts::

  • I am in the habit of anthropomorphising just about everything I see (at least in my head)
  • I am not as nice as I seem, but I think I’m still a nicer guy than most
  • Gorillas use tools! (It was a surprise to me!)

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.

Power out at the house tonight, so we’re off to Mama Lucia’s for dinner! Looks like strong rains and downed trees knocked out all of North Beach and Chesapeake beach! [edit – power came back up at 2am – accorting to the computer, it went down at 5:25pm)


CNBC reports that Netflix’ shipping systems have been at least partially broken since Tuesday. They managed to ship nothing on Tuesday, half of what they were supposed to on Wednesday, and nothing today. What’s the deal? Apparently the outage affects 1/3 of their customers (including good ol’ Scotto and BHK), to whom Netflix is trying to figure out the best way to refund some cash. They’re still not sure what the root of the problems are, so in essence, they have no idea how to fix it. Be prepared for a few more days of outages, unless it turns out that it’s a super easy fix that’s much harder to diagnose than to repair.

Random Scotto Factoid –

I’m an avid reader but some very simple words are sometimes mental stumbling blocks.

Examples:

Singer. Someone who sings… but my brain always reads it as someone who singes. As in: What is that singer superficially burning today? I guess I’m not altogether wrong.

Also Bewilder is not equal to “Be Wilder“… but that’s how I hear it when I read it. conversely, I read Wilder as “Will-der”. I have no idea how I mixed tohse up as a kid.

I know the old gags about manslaughter / “Mans Laughter” and Therapist / “The Rapist”, but my mind never really ripped those words in the wrong way.

Walk is a word that just looks wrong to me… as does talk and balk. Ls and Ks just don’t jibe to me.

Dan sent us a pile of stuff after cleaning out his guest room. A boatload of books, a few dvd’s:Batman Begins, King Kong – the newest one, Quest for Fire, Razor’s Edge, Life aquatic – and a copy of Valley of the Mammoths – looks to be a good game, but he couldn’t play it at the school’s game/SciFi club due to some of the caroon cavemen having visible genitalia. (He offered to draw clothes on them with a sharpie, but the students prefer Catan and Aquarius anyway.

His loss is our gain!

To me, tabletop games are a form of entertainment; I play to play, not play to win. I prefer light games that are amusing in and of themselves, games that are pleasing to play and offer something besides the chance to earn victory. Sometimes I’m in the mood to sit back and watch math at work, sometimes I just want to push pawns around and chuck some dice, and sometimes I want to claw my way to the top of the heap. Abstracts, beer-and-pretzels, RPG, wargames… I’m not picky, so long as it’s a fun ride.

I just found out that x1650 is the bare minimum of game cards for the next generation of goodies coming out this year. I gout rid of the x1600 just in the nick of time, it seems! I don’t want anything to make it hard to run spore or fallout 3. (Or ghostbusters, when it someday comes out. )

Random Scotto factoid – I can chug soda or beer at an alarming rate. That is part of why I don’t drink beer with any regularity.. it takes more than one to even begin to quench my thirst.


I sorta-kinda want to live in a styrofoam dome home. (at least as a little place or cabin out in the wilderness somewhere as a second home.)

Tooth is still giving me minor fits. Antibiotic seems to be taking it down, though. It was a little hard to chew supper, but it was quite tasty.

BHK went thrifting yesterday with Tina – got some good loot – a few chick-lit books for herself, a kepler and his mom on witch trial book for me, along with a white dress shirt, also for me – some brand new kitchen knives. (as opposed to what… bathroom knives? office knives?)

Additionally, when she got my antibiotics at the drugstore, she picked me up yellow and red canisters of drying model clay. could be handy to make some game pieces, or just silly fun sculptures and items. It’ll be good practice for future sculpey stuff.

Seeing BQ.. erm, SaH reminded me that BHK and I are long overdue for a meal at the vegetable garden. Rockville isn’t all that far away and despite what R.E.M. says, I could hit the Micro Center up there, too. I’d also like to visit Yuan Fu, which was our alternate plan if VG was closed.

I guess that since I do crab and shrimp that I’m more of a pescetarian than a true veggie.


One of the most nifty game ideas in a long time – levelhead – it uses a hand-held solid-plastic cube as its only interface. On-screen it appears each face of the cube contains a little room, each of which are logically connected by doors. In one of these rooms is a character. By tilting the cube the player directs this character from room to room in an effort to find the exit.

check out the video demo to get a good idea how it works.

Also – it looks like the Ghostbusters game is in a bit of trouble… may not get released – at least for a while. It looks good, and the chance for another year of development might even make it worth the wait.

Chinese dinner tonight with BHK, and the In-laws. We watched Definitely, Maybe, and I thought it wasn’t bad at all for a “chick flick.” Good amount of schmaltz, not a bad vehicle for a slice of life info. I still think he’s a swine, re: the book… he had postcards and whatnot.

Next on our netflix list – Machine Girl. Hopefully, BHK will enjoy that as much as I enjoyed tonight’s feature.

Pointless Scotto trivia of the moment – animal crackers eaten today, roughly in the order consumed.

whole –

  • gorilla
  • hippo x 2
  • seal
  • monkey
  • tiger
  • polar bear x 3
  • horse
  • lion
  • rhino
  • zebra
  • koala 2
  • sheep 2
  • kangaroo
  • camel


partials –

  • 3-legged tiger
  • tailless kangaroo
  • headless lion


amazing number of intact critters in my barnum box. (60g) Sadly, no elephants. I’ve been to the circus, and always seen ellies – can’t say the same about koalas or polar bears, though they are both adorable and cool, too.

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a hippo or rhino at the circus, either. Or a gorilla. (well, maybe a clown in a gorilla suit) What are they trying to pull??

Big salad and fried zucchini chips tonight. BHK made some fried okra, but ate it all up save for one tiny morsel which I tried, and really didn’t taste any “okra-ness”.

Middleman continues to entertain – Zombie-venom bite snakehead-type fish and a cola scheme for “!!!” soda.

Random Scotto and BHK factoids. I am fairly distantly related to Ludwig II, and on a pretty solid connection to the original Frankensteins and (not the Fictional Scientist, but the family that built the castle.) I’d settle for having a time-share at Linferhof Palace. All told, I’m just glad I don’t have to go through the same stuff Benita Falkenheyn did.

BHK is more “American” as a fairly direct descendant of Davy Crockett, and has more than a little native American in her bloodline as well. (great grandma) – Not to mention Ma & Pa Barker. (And a little French Huguenot according do Mother-in-Law.)

*SOME*body is rearranging netflix queues so that girly movies arrive before scary monster flicks. I wonder who it could be?

BHK is sneaking in and adding to my journal again! Her latest:

“S’ok cause I really love girly movies—-don’t tell anyone dear journal but I squealed like a giddy school-girl while watching Bridget Jones’ Diary!!”


Bleah and Bah, I say to that.


More crops from the garden.. it seems limitless!

more crops! squash and such!

Cukes, Zukes, squash.. and a .. green pepper? BHK also gave away lal our green beans to the neighbor – he thought that they were offered and took ’em -BHK didn’t have the heart to take ’em back.
