9791 – at the library all day today.

why was 6 afraid of 7?  because 7/8/9!

I was doing research on gigs, and BHK studying. 11-6:30 today, where the internet connection is reliable, and less distractions.

grabbed a bagel at panera for lunch break

researched a bit more and then we watched a guy doing a presentation on shadow puppets… a lot of fun!

Dinner at Ruby Tuesday – strike two after the first home run. We may be back, though, since our new Neighbor Philmena said that they have great mojitos.

From today’s shadow puppets – tears of joy, belling the cat, , origin of puppets

Lyrics to current music – just came over pandora – I’d never heard it before on my channel –

You’ve heard of Ali-Baba
Forty thieves had he
Out for what we all want
Lots of LSD

He also had a camel
Stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel
And the camel loved him too
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali-Baba’s camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to the camel had to go
Some say he’s in heaven, but this I know is true
Wherever you think Ali’s gone, his camel’s gone there too

Crossing the equator, ooo, how hot is was
Poor old Ali-Baba cursed and swore because
He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows
It’s horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes.
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali-Baba!)

Ali Baba’s camel turned ’round and licked his hand
He said, oh Ali-Baba, I surely understand
We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow
But hark, I hear the temple bells, they’ll all be open now.
(Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it… aaahh)

They entered for the races and the desert sports
There goes Ali’s camel in his filthy cotton shorts
The starter cracked his pistol off the camels hared
Ali-Baba’s camel wins by half a camel’s hair
(Hey, Ali-Baba! Hey, Ali-Baba! Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!)

Ali-Baba’s camel had run for miles and miles
His tail was pointing backwards, that’s how a camel smiles
But Ali and his camel they both were out of breath
They’d run so far, they’d loved so much,
They laughed themselves to death

Oh, gather around the campfire, sing a roundelay,
But don’t sing out of tune, now. (‘Cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali-Baba, sing about his men
Sing about his camel, then sing it all again
(Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba)

Ali-Baba’s camel loved Ali-Baba so
No matter where he went to that camel had to go
Some say he’s in heaven, but this I know as well
Wherever you think Ali’s gone, his camel’s gone to….

Recapping –

Got my 401k comp check from my last gig – That worked out well. I told a little fib to BHk, and said that I expected about $500, and we got about eight times that amount. (I was planning for about six times.)

Went to Annapolis and promptly deposited that little windfall in the bank – then stopped off at the Amish Farmer’s Market for breakfast. BHK and I split two – ate half and then swapped Chocolate Chip Pancakes, home fries, cheddar cheese omelet, wheat toast – I let BHK eat up all of the bacon, of course.

Opted out of going to a movie – nothing we want to see just this moment.. maybe next week when it’s less crowded.  We did get a few other goodies at the farmer’s market – cheese, strawberries, trinket’s for our 4’th of July cake (gummy stars and confetti sprinkles), a blueberry fritter for me for tomorrow’s breakfast (or tonight’s midnight snack)

BHK remembered that I was due for shots (skipped when em was here) and we went there for a bit. Adam called, and mentioned that he was coming down for the 3rd’s fireworks, an was bringing Anna – so, it was a quick trip to the grocery to be sure he had a full belly.

I was feeling pretty out of it at that point, so I rested in the car. Going to nap now that we’re home. sweet dreams, dear journal.

added for no reason, except that I like Em and Otters – S6303931

9769 – Tuesday

job fair – some possible hits there!

After, we visited twilite zone comics and then games and stuff – got micro mutants. Wargame with a tiddlywinks mechanic. looks fun!

Lunch/ Dinner at Gina’s Cantina – then off to Sam’s club – It turns out that my card from work got understandably canceled – semi annoying since it took a year to get the thing, but it was deactivated withing a week of departing. trouble of a yearly schedule, I suppose.

Tomorrow I do a callback for Georgetown gig? Wish me luck, dear journal!


Nokia developing phone that recharges itself without mains electricity

A new prototype charging system from the company is able to power itself on nothing more than ambient radio waves – the weak TV, radio and mobile phone signals that permanently surround us. The power harvested is small but it is almost enough to power a mobile in standby mode indefinitely without ever needing to plug it into the mains, according to Markku Rouvala, one of the researchers who developed the device at the Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge, UK.

The difference with Nokia’s prototype is that instead of harvesting tiny amounts of power (a few microwatts) from dedicated transmitters, Nokia claims it is able to scavenge relatively large amounts of power — around a thousand times as much — from signals coming from miles away. Individually the energy available in each of these signals is miniscule. But by harvesting radio waves across a wide range of frequencies it all adds up, said Rouvala.

The trick here is to ensure that these circuits use less power than is being received, said Rouvala. So far they have been able to harvest up to 5 milliwatts. Their short-term goal is to get in excess of 20 milliwatts, enough power to keep a phone in standby mode indefinitely without having to recharge it. But this would not be enough to actually use the phone to make or receive a call, he says. So ultimately the hope is to be able to get as much as 50 milliwatts which would be sufficient to slowly recharge the battery.

Last day at the Gig. Folks were nice, and many were surprised that I was heading out. No hard feelings anywhere – lots of kind words and sentiment.

I’ll miss some of the folks there – but I’ll see more than a couple on facebook here and there for contact – and I’ll likely go to the crab feast in July, too. (I won’t miss the commute at all!)

Saw Franklin – working his litter area – he’s obviously still eating quite well. He’s good at digging a deep hole and covering it up, too- unlike a certain orange cat who will remain Newton.

also saw Franklin’s not-named buddy on the way home.

Found an old pic I had that made me think of miniMAX –

Hard to believe that in less than 2 weeks, my LJ will be 9 years old, and that’ll mean that I’ve been doing this online journal-type thing at least semi-regularly for about 12 years now.

Happy Cuatro De Mayo! BHK brought home a few fun things from the thrift store – Aztec statuary for the lawn – a temple, an Idol, and a terra-cotta dancer!

BHK drove me in to work today – made the transition the first day back a lot simpler. We scanned for Franklin, but it was raining. He isn’t as silly as the puff from yesterday – knows when to get out of the rain (unlike Pyewacket, who likes to stick his head under any faucet he can. Hurricane baby.

WalkGiants1

Some days, I feel a bit like Lennie from Of Mice and Men… I feel that I have to be extra gentle, just so I don’t demolish everything in my path. I don’t want to break any necks, either figuratively or otherwise.

I’m getting better about it, though. Today was exhausting, but I’m glad I’m back at my gig.

Big Bang was cute tonight – lots of nods to nerds, and dinner was a broad assortment of nibs and nabs… veggie spare ribs, taquitos, rice, jalepeno poppers, and edamame! very tasty, and I’m going to pop in a moment.

Sweet dreams, dear journal.

Meanwhile, I can catch up with old emails, and go see Wolverine with BHK! Not a bad flick, but I suspect fans of wolvie might not dig it.

Happy Walpurgisnacht!

Not at work – workers comp / work in general needed a tighter definition of “light duty”. (I got the email last night after the doctor’s office closed – so I get another day from the house. Kind of annoying – not sure if worker’s comp is going to pay for my day off today.)

Should be self explanatory, but I have to wait. I guess back tomorrow. Spoke to the doc, and she’s sending over more info this morning.

As of now (approx 3:20pm) they still haven’t faxed the information over. I tried calling a little while ago, but no answer. Going to try again in about 10 minutes.

Back too far gone – didn’t make it to work today. I still had to do work, however, and take a sick day, besides. Not much one can do about that, but at least I could work from the bedside, and stay in my pjs.

In-laws came over with Chinese food, and I primarily slept off my back with some prescribed night-night pills.

I should be ok to head to work tomorrow – I can’t afford not to! If I do stay home, I’d still have to visit the doc to get a time off slip, and transit is transit – no fun. The in-laws wanted to go to Selby bay for pizza, but also didn’t want to leave me behind.

I’m convinced that Dollhouse is better because we’re seeing less and less of the lead actress. Castle is still doing pretty well, too.

Franklin (the outdoor cat who lives near my office) followed me a bit this morning to work, I stopped to give him some love – he’s a sweetheart. I made sure to wash my hands very carefully – don’t want to allergy myself too much, or possibly bring back feline leukemia to the boys at home. I should start bringing Franklin a little treat or something.

If I’m not careful, BHK is going to make me adopt him and bring him home. Plenty of little hellcats at the house already, but I’m a soft touch.

Though I am of no particular religious faith of my own, I don’t mind when others express belief… to a degree. Riding the green line into work this morning, a wall-eyed lady was shrieking out hosannas and praise the lords intermixed with some tuneless chant-like singing. she had headphones on, but I suspect that they were just props so she could ramble loudly.

I’ve seen this from assorted people, numerous times – usually on the bus, but the train here and the tri-rail back in Fort Lauderdale.  Why are folks permitted to holler at the top of their lungs while I’m confined to the same space as they are? I think that the train is better for just making a lot of noise without repercussions, because it’s less likely that it’ll stop and eject the person.

mouthbig - animatedsleep
(They won’t shut up – all I want to do is nap)

I’ve been "witnessed" to at least 4 times, maybe more while on the bus. I’ve noticed that the best thing to do is just be quiet and let it pass, because the folks doing it are generally more than a little unhinged already – I don’t want someone flipping out too much.. it seems like they run out of gas after about 15 minutes (which seems like an hour) and then start again maybe 5 minutes after that.

There needs to be some sort of code of ethics – if I’m trapped with a person that is at the minimum causing sound pollution that I don’t want, or at maximum is a foamy-mouthed looney, I get upset. I was fantasizing about picking up a tranquilizer dart gun somewhere for the bulk of the noise.

See also about 11 months ago

In a similar vein, I don’t mind being trapped on a bus with folks talking a little loudly on the phone if it’s a language I don’t know… if it’s English, it bugs me, but if it’s something very exotic (something Asian or African – not too uncommon in DC area) I don’t mind nearly so much. German, French, Creole and Spanish is fairly annoying too, for some reason. (if I’m in a movie theater, however, it’s easy for me to leave and get an attendant.)

The ride home on the train was easier on my ears.

Called Comcast about some service – if they slack on me too much, I think we’ll just cut that internet cord, and go to hughes-net or some other provider.

Tasty buffalo "chicken" salad for dinner tonight – and I had the rare beer – (Michelob Lime/cactus – good, light fare).

BHK and I are giving up on Castle, I think – 2 episodes, and neither had the grabbing power. Going to give Better Off Ted another chance, but I suspect the quirkyness is already too stiff for real fun, and it’ll get switched off, too.

Our netflix came in, in time for the weekend – Hancock and Run, Fat Boy, Run . My hopes aren’t too high – If I’m entertained, that’ll do the trick.

Got home from work, and had more homework to do before bed – I think I’m pretty prepared for tomorrow’s meeting, though.

Not much to say, save that I’m sleepy, and tonight’s Big Bang Theory was pretty weak. They’re on a train and Summer whoozit from Terminator / Firefly is there. Bleh. Best thing about the episode was the end title card.


From BHK –

"Funny story about this morning. I made a bagel and went upstairs to sit on the bed and eat it and watch the news. I kept hearing this rumble. I couldn’t figure out what it was—maybe my stomach or something outside…at 6am??? On the bed was my jacket which I’d taken off after curling up in yesterday when I wasn’t feeling well and I was cold—-the sound seemed to be coming from there—I touched the coat and felt a lump—trying to figure out if it was Newt I picked it up and—-he had WRAPPED himself like a burrito A BURRITO in my coat and he was purring like CRAZY!!!
