Free Online Dating

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:

  • sex (2x)
  • poop (1x)


At last, a memory erasing drug that doesn’t have a proof rating.

There’s a page over at MySpace that features what they’re cloyingly calling “minisodes,” which are episodes of television shows edited down to six to eight minutes. Having watched an episode of The Facts of Life and one of Silver Spoons, I really wonder what they did with the other eighteen minutes. (via lore )

Was going to the Kwik-E-Mart after work, see also , but instead got a fresh haircut (as did BHK) at Scalped.(we love Margaret and Ami)  Perhaps tomorrow?

Thinking about getting into letter-boxing in addition to geocaching… it seems more quaint and less commercial than what geocaching has become. BHK is more about the hikes than the technology, and I think we both would enjoy just getting out and wandering around a bit.

The Hippie Trail LbNA #: 26192

Placement date: Oct 8 2006
State: Maryland
County: Calvert
Nearest city: Huntingtown
Number of boxes: 2

Clues

King’s Landing Park, King’s Landing Road (off Huntingtown Rd).
Enter King’s Landing Park, and go the parking by the fence on the far side of the pool. Across the fence you can see the sign that says “Explore your Chesapeake”. Go to the path to the right of the sign, and take the right fork to the straight path. Almost immediately on the right, you’ll see a little sign by the woods that says “Trail” and a large sign with a roof that talks about Orienteering. Veer off the path and enter the woods by the Trail sign. You might want to grab a walking stick for the Flower Box.

Smiley Box- THIS HAS BEEN MOVED
At the start of the first board walk, look to your right. 24 paces away will be a fallen tree with its roots sticking up in the air. Right underneath the roots is the Smiley Box.

Flower Power Box
Continue to follow the path towards the wetlands. Where the path splits left towards the water and a sign that says “A Marsh for All Seasons” go right, away from the water. About 25 paces, look on the left and see 3 very large trees that grew out of one bottom, immediately off the path. Walk up the hill behind it, and see another smaller light colored tree that is about 4 paces behind it, then a large tree about 5 paces behind it at the top of the hill. Flower Power is hidden in the tree at the bottom back side under leaves in a notch in the tree.

8902 – Tuesday

BHK called me Scooter Libby ! (Keith Olbermann delivers arguably his most pointed and most powerful Special Comment yet on the ramifications of Bush’s commutation of Libby’s sentence. video_wmv Download (20263) | Play (28541) video_mov Download (9616) | Play (15158) ) WTF, mate? I’m not a rat… nor do I have cronies that can get me off the hook; maybe she thought that Scooter is too beautiful to go to jail? Perhaps they should have sentenced him to death by lethal injection; Bush seems to have no problem with that being too “excessive.”

Half day at work today – Good thing, because there’s so much to take care of before the fireworks tonight. BHK will be making some of her classic “mexican-bake-lasagna-thingie” of which I am a huge fan. Yes I am.

Got a kindly warning driving into work – 51 in a 40, a big traffic stop grabbing everyone who goes around a major turn. Police in Maryland are more polite to BHK than they are in Florida.

Also seen on the way in was a sickly-looking fox that got a “go home kitty!” and then “Kitty doesn’t look so good” before we realised what the animal actually was. I hope it wasn’t sick… odd to see a fox out in the city sidewalks.

Alerted yesterday by Jon at the DC Traveler that the mighty Titan Arum has begun blooming at the US Botanic Garden. He was, no doubt, tipped off by the oh-so-lovely smell of rotting corpse wafting through his window, which the flower uses to attract meat-loving (at least, meat-stench-loving) bugs to pollinate it. The giant, odorous plant seems to be falling into habit, blooming every two years since 2003 — before that it hadn’t bloomed in 12 years, and the species is usually known to bloom unpredictably.

Not only does the “Corpse Plant” feature the mouth-watering fragrance of dead rats, but it grows to fairly enormous heights, with some wild-growing plants (they’re native to Indonesia) reaching 12 feet tall, though most average a still impressive five feet. If you’re interested in seeing the purpley-crimson color that reveals itself as the petals open up, you must act quickly. The Titan Arum slowly began budding in June, but reached full bloom and began emitting its zombie-licious fragrance the day before yesterday, so you’ve only got perhaps today and maybe tomorrow to catch this unusual sight. At least for a couple of years.

The US Botanic Garden is located at 100 Maryland Avenue, SW and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m

Fireworks were quite lovely tonight; I didn’t expect a show of that magnitude from a small town… pretty close to the Miami show in volume… twin barges full of mortars just went to town at about 9:30pm. [attach flickr pictures here]

Danny comes for his week-long visit tomorrow. He seemed to like Fantastic Four 2:electric boogaloo, except for the end.

Fun word – pogonotrophy (po-guh-NAW-truh-fee) noun; The growing of a beard. [From Greek pogon (beard) + -trophy (nourishment, growth).] (Pogonology is the study of beards and pogonotomy is a fancy word for shaving. ) Norma should look into that with her beard.

This has no relation to BHK’s shoe attitude. (youtube link)

The Agnostic’s Prayer:

Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to ensure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.

Day 2 of work went well… plenty to do and review. I can see some solid things ahead. The challenges are mostly in the documentation, and some of the the service providers we use. Our inside team and outer ring of contractors seem to be on the ball and on the same page.

BHk’s cousin David and his girlfriend Gill came over for a crash pad spot before heading off to DC – Nice folk.

We politely scoffed at the in-laws invite to go see Wild Hogs, but they seemed to have really enjoyed it. We preferred to stay home and eat chocolate chip cookies.

Brother and Father in law jamming a bit last night before dinner. Adam was about ready to fall asleep, I think. Another swim meet tonight, if all goes as planned. BHK and I are going to take Tina with us this time! That means a bit of shopping and dinner tonight too, I expect.

Things have been quite great lately… I think that once I get a good solid gig, I’ll have nothing to complain about at all.

Side note – I’ve agreed to be on the City’s Emergency Preparedness Committee – maybe I can help out CodeRED a bit, and help to insure my region is more prepared in the event of rough tidings… not to mention, possibly network into a gig.

Last Day at the ACIM office… still will help tech-wise from home if needed for a bit. I still have no idea if the office is full or half day today. I’ll assume full, and be pleasantly surprised if it’s otherwise.

bhk and I are off for a bit of an early drive down the beach before the start of the work day – should be fun!


I still haven’t heard from bro.. it’s been months. TG is traditionally pretty dicey for him, see prior years.


It’s A Bully, Charlie Brown! (or whatever the title was) wasn’t very high on my viewing list… that, and the over-edited thanksgiving special on tv made me thankful for dvd players… and bittorrent.

Happy Birthday, graypumpkin!
monkeybday

I didn’t get to hit ¡Viva Broward! yesterday… I ran out of time. Today, however is a new day… I think I’ll trundle down there for a midday bit of entertainment.


Got a mild interrogation from someone at the pool on the way back from grocery shopping yesterday. I was toting a double armload of groceries, heading to my place; when a guy at the pool area calls over to me.

Guy:”Hey, you!”
Me:”Hi! Can I help you?”
G:”Do you live here?”
M:”Yup!”
G:”Which unit?”
(*note* – at no time did he ask my name, or say anything in a non-interrogatory style. )
M:”323D… can I help you?”
G:”No, I just wanted to know.”
(*note* – Did he think I was a hoodlum of some sort? That I was going to use packages of peanut butter crackers, deodorant, light bulbs, and a half-dozen liters of Diet Doctor Pepper to do some crazy MacGuyver evil on the complex?)
M:”Oh. What unit do you live in?”
G:”304A”
M:”Nice place. Have a good one.”
And I walked away.
He didn’t reply.

Wacky.

I didn’t look shabby or anything… wearing a nice clean Hawaiian style golf shirt, short hair, clean shaved, maybe perspiring a bit, due to toting the barge.

I figure I can look him up in the condo directory later… I’ll get the lowdown from Jesus-bread lady and/or the Condo Superhero sometime today, I’m sure.

What would happen if everyone on Earth suddenly vanished without a trace? Although that’s totally impossible, of course, a new article speculates on how long it would take for all traces of today’s human civilization to be reclaimed by the earth’s natural processes.

Moment of Lyric – mp3 (Via X-entertainment’s great halloween jukebox)

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.

This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around.

Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.

Now the d and the a and the m
And the n and the a
And the t and the i-o-n
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

Random pic taken of m’self in the office. I was working on paperwork, and was feeling a little beetle-browed – so I figured I’d take a peek at m’self. I’m a little rougher than usual, due to the raw nose and tired eyes.

Of course, the first critter in question likely to be photographed is Newt. He’s a cutie, and always available for pictures. His tail always seems a trifle short for a cat his size. Maybe he sees a carp in the pond.

Squirrels use the porch banister as a little bridge to run from point to point… I’m glad it’s there, because I figure they’d be climbing the screens otherwise.

Two different types of mold or algae growing at work. I wonder if that’s why so many folks have coughs?

Also at work, a little further up the evolutionary scale, spiders. One was behind the server, and the other was in the ol’ office. Both got escorted outside, and released alive. I fear that I broke one of server-spidey’s legs.


Tussionex + Walgreens Mouth-breathers+ Neighborhood Health Insurance = a real hassle to get my ‘scrip. finally picked it up last night…. I had to wrestle with the pharmacy to prove that my insurance would pay for it. 40 minutes later, I paid $28 rather than $150 for the same bottle of ‘cough syrup’ if I didn’t have any insurance. It’s a crying shame when the consumer has to do all the legwork and arm-twisting, especially when they’re not feeling so hot to begin with.

R.A. Maguire cover art. I can’t get enough of this sort of pulp cover stuff… I may like the model photo shoots more than the covers themselves.

“…Step right up, you’re doin’ fine,
I’ll pull your beard, you pull mine.
Yank it again, like you did before,
Break it up with a tug o’ war.

Now into the brook and fish for the trout,
Dive right in and splash about.
Trout, trout, pretty little trout,
One more splash and come right out…”

That’s for thanksgiving thoughts and good vibes in general.

Iguana and Squirrel in a Mexican Standoff.

Newt talks to both of these folks. (though I think he’s more likely to side with the Iguana over the Squirrels.)
