Back to work, MLK day 0121 Or R.E.LEE day for folks too racist to even take a day off to say thanks to a black guy. (Well, Virginia’s state Motto is what John Wilkes Booth shouted in the theater.)
BHK and Bug lifted me into work this morning… I said my goodbyes, as he was back in VA by the time I made it home. We had a nice time – lots of stuff to do, and good goofing off periods.
MRI came back, and I have a herniated disk – S1…
Pancake and scrambled eggs brunch at Larry & Chris’s, checked out L’s trains upstairs, and rooted around BHK’s old bedroom and returned with salvage of wacky packages, headphones and a weight ball. Not to mention BHK’s 14-wheeled skateboard. I would love to try it if I didn’t fear breaking the rest of my spine.
Retired downstairs to view the last 85% of George of the Jungle.
Too dang cold outside for playing, so back to our place – fooled around with pirates, star-wars hero-type…
More nutshelling.
Slept in a bit – 8:30ish
Had a blueberry bagel, chewed on left side.
Played a little rayman and more Mario Galaxy with Bugah
Went to get allergy shots – started reading Making Money
Bugah did his reading – Tales of a 4th grade nothing / superfudge.
Headed up to Annapolis with BHK and Bug for movies
Bought Bug’s present – Lego Star Wars Saga, vans from Larry & Chris
Picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance for m’self – $18 used!
Went to see National Treasure 2…
Nutshelling.
Mario Party 8.
Swift cleanup – mostly BHK’s doing. She’s a member of the reverse-hurricane school of speed-tidiness.
Watched psych and held my poor, sore jaw.
Straightened the office a bit, mostly clearing my desk, dealing with paperwork and holding my jaw.
Picked up Bugah in the early evening (~7:30ish)
Went to Bert’s diner w/in-laws – Milkshake was soothing and delicious.
Got Bugah back to our place, and played video games until the wee hours. Preferred titles were…
AM- MRI done… got films, but no record on CD/DVD… I’ll have to scan ‘em before I bring them to the doc.
midday – Snow! big, fat flakes. Almost to stormy to go to my mouth appointment.. but not quite. He almost shut down, but things eased up enough. We were running a little early, so we got a pizza hut pit stop… more games of hangman, tater tots and stuffed crust pizza… no choking this time, but we were regaled about our server’s critter collection at home. 2 dogs, 4 cats, birds, fish,…
Dreamt of the boardwalk coming to life like a Japanese Umbrella Monster. Why? Now I wonder how many 100-year old things are in the house. I’m guessing not much, save for a few books and coins.
BHK made a tasty pseudo-chicken / broccoli / alfredo noodle dish… I scarfed down two full bowls of the stuff… and they were not little bowls. The in-laws invited us to chinese food, but I think that I came out way ahead with what I got.
Beware the ides of January! Oh, how it snowed today! It went for a brief period, stopped, and then came back, all crazy-like.
I heard that it wasn’t going to stick, but it was pretty white out there for a little bit. If it had done its drop after dark, I’d wager there’d have been less sublimation.
I’m glad that BHK doesn’t mind my meat-free ways! Larry opted for a fried chicken tv dinner, but Chris was game. I have enough to bring…

Not much to say today – have an assorted news links edition, dear journal.

We took it easy today, as per our usual Sunday… BHK and I woke and puttered a bit, at at The Frying Pan before heading to Aardvark’s to use the gift certificate we got from the Newsies. We picked up family fluxx, my comics and a few deck boxes for our card games – with the bonus stuff for Zombie and regular fluxx, they’ve rather outgrown the cardboard boxes they came in. I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice display of looney labs stuff there – werewolf and and assortment of…
Tasty crab cakes and sea scallops – salad itself was just ok, but the home made dressing was fantastic. Prices are very reasonable – very rustic / mom & pop atmosphere. Friendly servers – still a…

Baby Polar bear homepage! When does he get his armor, and star in a crappy movie? (I set google to auto-translate from german) He was born on Just about 4 weeks ago.
Aww.. I love him. Maybe BHK will let me have one, if we get a duck and a llama.
Came home, had subway subs and watched The Ex, and the finaled of…
The octopus who loves his Mr Potato Head
Louis the octopus clearly thinks two heads are better than one when it comes to toys.
The 1.8m-wide (6ft) creature is so attached to Mr Potato Head that he turns aggressive when aquarium staff try to remove it from his tank.
The giant Pacific octopus was given the toy for Christmas and has even learned to dig out food hidden in a secret box at the back…
