Scotto's Wall Scrawls

Busy day at work - they had me before I even sat down - doing a lot of quick database fixes. a few items got confused, fortunately, we're all good about keeping proper backups to all triggers, tables and such before doing any fiddling.

This is National Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day. Ah well, I missed it! Maybe next year. Probably not. I wouldn't mind getting a Plush version of a Water Bear. (also known as Moss Piglets)

Tasty Junk food treat - Kellogg's Cereal Straws- I'm a bit more partial to the Froot Loops version over Cocoa Crispies, but both were snacky-good. The first think BHK said to me was that "Matt is totally going to review these, and you're going to have wanted 'em, so I beat him to the punch".... and they are yummy, even without milk.

The Office was one of the better episodes in a long time... funny, and bittersweet, too. Ugly Betty is just ludicrously goofy as well.

Moment of lyric - via - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeNO56xNlZo

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

Still too hot to do much of anything out and about in the Crisco soup-like atmosphere, so we opted to take in lunch at the Sbarro's in the Annapolis Mall and then hit a movie. Who knows why we woke up at 7:30 on a Sunday, but it gave us a solid head start.

We finally caught the Simpsons Movie on the big screen... I was surprised - it was a lot better than I was expecting... pretty solid TV episode from back when it was funny. We only saw 3 bits that would make it warrant a PG-13 rating - an instance of nudity, a curse word (or two) and some drinking / drug use. I could see them showing all of it after 10pm on network tv unedited, or without those three instances any time at all.

On the way home, we noticed that ATW has changed the sign again, as the search for "the man" continues. (atw is now a tag just for my ease of searching the story thread and pictures, now.)


It was a good thing we caught an early show as the later part of the day was comprised of -


Party at Tina's place... Mexican food! Both Meat and veggie protein varieties - Tina's not a big carnivore, either. Matt (her new boy) seems like a nice enough fellow and I hope they have maximum fun / minimum glum together. He's certainly more social and generally conversational than DR or W. Dessert was yellow birthday cake with chocolate icing, compared favorably to yesterday's lemon cake with lemon icing. Added bonus, BHK's mom didn't absent-mindedly start slurping the frosting off of the removed candles like last night, rather than giving them to the b'day girl to taste.

Aside from Tina and Matt, Adam, Jimmy, Louise, Chris and Larry all made it to celebrate. We fit pretty comfortably at Tina's townhouse... I wasn't sure if we'd all be able to manage, but it worked out quite well.

BHK's Loot received:

from Louise : Necklace and bracelet of multi-colored pearls.
from Tina : A pair of Peridot Earrings / Hello Kitty purse (which looks like ms. kitty is making a gesture I'm sure wasn't intentional)
from Larry & Chris - Red Coral necklace and Earrings / and some lovely crockery
from Danny - A swell looking green-stoned ring in gold. (and he got Tina some yellow-stoned earrings, too!)
from my Mom and Wilt - Turquoise and silver necklace, Halloween Snow globe, a little cornucopia and a really lovely card.
from me - a lot of knickknacks - Grease & Grease 2, a pair of pink pseudo-crocks, some stripy socks that mismatch/match, a pink headband with little jolly rogers, bath scrubbie, black cat bowl, a green wire basket, some fuzzy slippers and a gift cert to scalped.

I'm the only person that didn't get her any jewelry... she told me specifically *not* to get her any. Now, I understand why.

May've recruited Adam and Jimmy into a parlor game night. Who knows, maybe they'll lure Kendall and Amanda into it, too, and we'll have a big night of it sometime!

I don't know if Matt is into parlor games... I do know he digs the Redskins and is willing to put up with chick flicks. come to think of it, I don't know for sure if Tina is interested in boardgames or not... I suspect that she, like the in-laws aren't really into abstract games. Louise is a good candidate, but is harder to reel in to a date or time than the teens. The last time we saw her was her birthday, about 6 weeks ago.

Poor Danny has students in his classes now - he's back to running the Sci-fi club, and is incorporating Pirates into the after school program. I should send him a bucket of heroclix or mage knight commons/doubles as a donation. He really liked the Superhero stamps and Lord of the Rings Risk game we shot off to him a little while back.

DALLAS -- There are fried Twinkies and even fried candy bars.

Now, vendor Abel Gonzales Jr. has come up with a new artery-clogging concoction for the State Fair of Texas. It's fried Coke.

Gonzales deep-fries Coca-Cola-flavored batter. He then drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it. The fried Coke is topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales said the fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud.

Gonzales' diet-buster wins the creativity honor at the second-annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest.

Judges for the contest chose Shirley London's Fried Praline Perfection as the tastiest fried delicacy.

The two won out among 26 entries such as fried macaroni and cheese and a deep-fried cosmopolitan.

London said she came up with the fried pralines idea after buying pralines at the fair last year. She plans to sell the pralines alongside fried marshmallows.

Gonzales achieved notoriety in 2005 with the fried peanut butter, banana, and jelly sandwich -- selling an estimated 25,000 of the treats, according to the fair's Web site. The site said London got media attention in 2004 with her fried marshmallows on-a-stick.

This is the same state fair that brought about the corn dog. The Web site said Neil and Carl Fletcher conjured up a sweetened corn-battered wiener on-a-stick and sold it for 15 cents during the 1942 State Fair of Texas.

[Poll #847600]

Mmmm... Chocolate Skulls!



The perfect Halloween treat! Each skull is individually packaged in a clear bag and tied with black ribbon.

2.2 ounces (dimensions about 3" x 1.75" x 1")

Blanca: Venezuelan plain white chocolate, 33% cocoa butter

Red Fire: ancho & chipotle chillies + Ceylon cinnamon + dark chocolate

Barcelona: hickory smoked almonds + grey sea salt + deep milk chocolate

I love me some Día de los Muertos. Corpses, Family and Candy. Some of my favorite things!

The Erlking - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - mp3

Who's riding so late through th' endless wild?
The father 't is with his infant child;
He thinks the boy 's well off in his arm,
He grasps him tightly, he keeps him warm.

My son, say why are you hiding your face ?
Oh father, the Erlking 's coming apace,
The Erlking 's here with his train and crown!
My son, the fog moves up and down. -

Be good, my child, come, go with me!
I know nice games, will play them with thee,
And flowers thou 'It find near by where
I live, pretty dress my mother will give."

Dear father, oh father, and do you not hear
What th' Erlking whispers so close to my ear?
Be quiet, do be quiet, my son,
Through leaves the wind is rustling anon.

Do come, my darling, oh come with me!
Good care my daughters will take of thee,
My daughters will dance about thee in a ring,
Will rock thee to sleep and will prettily sing."

Dear father, oh father, and do you not see
The Erlking's daughters so near to me?
My son, my son, no one 's in our way,
The willows are looking unusually gray.

I love thee, thy beauty I covet and choose,
Be willing, my darling, or force I shall use!
"Dear father, oh father, he seizes my arm!
The Erlking, father, has done me harm.

The father shudders, he darts through the wild;
With agony fill him the groans of his child.
He reached his farm with fear and dread;
The infant son in his arms was dead.

Hm, it seems I'm pretty lucky! I just got a call last night that I won a playstation portable from a raffle at st ambrose's church! (neighbor kid sold me 6 tickets for $5, so I figured why not?) this is the second time I've one big with them since I move here... a few months ago I got some folding green (about $150) and a stuffed tiger at at a redemption game - no pun intended from the fair they had.

This is what it comes with -

• The PSP system
• Headphones with Remote Control
• Pouch and Wrist Strap
• AC Adaptor
• Battery Pack
• Cleaning Cloth
• Memory Stick Duo (32MB)

No mention of games? I would imagine it comes with something, even if it's the "Noah counts the animals" educational game or somesuch. I wonder how it'll compare to a video/mp3 player/wireless web browser next to my clie?

Passing it on, to whom it may concern: Somewhere in this very moment there is happiness. Happiness will be if you will let it. Choose to let it touch you. Relax your defenses, open and expose your most authentic self to life. Happiness will surely reach and fill you! I hope you have a wonderfully happy day today.

Moment of Lyric - (mp3), oh, you're going to pay, bhk.

See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everything's alright

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world

See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Danny didn't like 12 Monkeys nearly as much as I do. Yesterday was calm and gentle, and I'm all for that. We discussed a question posed about usefulness of high school algebra by most people in either the workplace or at home. I'll pass it along here, just as an informal quiz, once he gives me the exact wording. Quite honestly, I don't really need either much, if any of the math I learned after about 7th grade or so.. or probably earlier... I do rations, percents, and arithmetic a lot, of course, but I can't remember the last time I had to solve for X or cut something on a proper angle.

I do, however use critical thinking skills all the time, which I think I may have picked up as a side effect of geometry/algebra/calc. If I had it to learn all over again, I would have preferred to learn those skills without some of the more esoteric greek math.

In other news, we had sushi - I had spicy tofu, some tempura sweet potato, and a veggie roll - Danny shared the tofu, and went with his usual Scandinavian-style sushi with orange fishy-eggy-type stuff. It was very pretty for being made of reproductive fish bits.

After Sushi, we went for some walkies around the cove, and discovered a few pretty tasty-looking restaurants for next time. Not a bad mix - Brazilian, French, a Dive bar, and a final place to stop and sum up the night with ice cream. We had a few scoops, and headed back home.

When I got home, I found a lot of goodies waiting for me... 2 Kids in the hall dvds, the final Zim, and best of all, my lovely Yoga package from bhk! In there was a spiffy dvd in 3 parts... AM, PM, and Relaxation. Also in the package was an awesome blue yoga mat, and swell letter to newt and m'self, and a delightful postcard, to boot. Thank you! I plan on doing the nightly on every evening, and the morning stuff on days I don't get up before dawn. The relaxation, I'll shoot for midday on the weekends before walkabout.

Moment of Lyric -

Waiting at the station,
waiting for the right moves,
waiting in the basement,
waiting for the right cues,
waiting in a daydream,
waiting in the slipstream

waiting...
waiting in the right bars,
waiting in the right shoes,
waiting in a fast car,
waiting in the airports,

waiting for my airmiles,
waiting in slow motion,
coming through the turnstiles.

And if you ever change your mind,
you know I'm hard to find,
and if you ever need someone...

I'll still be waiting...
Waiting with the orphans, waiting for the bee stings, they tell me that success brings,
waiting in the half light, waiting for your whole life,
waiting for an ideal...a low deal...a no deal, to play your stereotype.
And if you ever find the time,
you know I'm not far behind,
And if you ever need someone...

I'll still be waiting...
just waiting for a friend.
I say it's all right,
It's all right my friend...just waiting.

Got together with Kat and Graypumpkin yesterday at lunch. Nice time was had lunch of bagel sammiches and I got gifties of Issues 4 & 5 of The Thing Comic, 1, 2, and 3 of the grant morrison superman comic, and a cool squishy toy.. an awesome replacement for blinky. It was nice visiting with 'em... It's been over a decade since I've seen 'em. '94, I think. We spoke about the usual.. fmaily, firneds, comics, livejournal, sushi, the appropriateness of naming a flower shop "adam and eve" -quoth kat "I'd like some apple blossoms, please!", the danger of shrimp trucks.

Squishy octopus is pretty awesome, and he looks more durable than Blinky - hidden inside his swirling, glittery maw, are the two ultimate yin yang of good/evil of the deep... a great white shark and bottle nose dolphin, eternally battling inside the octocosm.



I didn't give 'em the Dr. Who dvd, because I didn't know we were doing lunch until mid-morning. If I was a cool guy, I'd drop it in the mail for them to come home to... or I can try and ge tthe first ep of th enew season on Sat, first.

If I wasn't a dolt, I'd have taken pictures but I was too busy enjoying their company to remember my camera. Tomorrow they're off ot tampa, and I doubt I'll ge tot visit again before they head back to the lone star state. I look forward to seeing them again sometime soon.

Kev took a job doing programming as a civilian for the DoD at Gitmo. (The same place Hav used to do his gig.) Sounds like a sweet deal.. they're training him, giving security clearance, paying for his lodging.. (everything but food and phone) great pay too.. only downside is, well.. it's Cuba. He'll get time off and such, but he can't bring the puppies or kitties with him, either. (That'd be a deal breaker for me).. It's about a 2 hour flight from here, so returning won't be much of an issue on holiday. (about a month off every year).

I'm really happy for him.. he's finally doing something worthwhile, well-paying, and for a boss he respects. I suspect he'll really flourish there. He's heading out there ein June, so we've got to have a few "fart parties" before he's off to points south. I really would love for him to tell the pilot "TAKE THIS PLANE TO CUBA!", but that's probably a bad first impression.
