Scotto's Wall Scrawls

The Jetsons predate the Flintstones - sprocket war , robots cloned the dinosaurs to overthrow humanity - mankind won, but at a cost of almost all technology.

That's why there are dinosaurs from multiple periods, some that talk and complain about their jobs...

Adam is visiting this week.

obligatory pictures taken from moment 1 of the DSi use -

Adam, Anna, Chris, Larry, BHK, Pye and yours truly appear, dear journal.

Physical Therapy today, and the rest spent absorbing the drizzle, and doing job search. BHK has had Holly on the XM radio going since midday. I have seen hints of coming meals after her trip to the grocer, and my tummy is happy.

Adam and Anna are coming over tomorrow night - more bbq chips and good eats all the way through TG!

Growing my beard out again.... time for the "hunt for red october" look to keep my face protected from the elements that are coming. Oddly, Kathleen took today to do a mr potato head of my current beardo icon... serendipity?

Adam came over to visit last night. and we played a bit of dokopon before he was off to his church group meeting. No sign of andrew... he was going to come over for dinner, but double booked.

BHK and I continued playing a bit after Adam left and got some Papa John's pizza, because it was too windy, cold and rainy to go out to the grocery store or the chinese place.

Today was mostly spent looking for work, watching tv, and shooting skags in borderlands. I did take a brief launch outside with neighbor Chris to swap his car for a loaner while the window got fixed.... BHK made some amazing ravioli and pink sauce for supper... full after one bowl, with plenty for tomorrow's lunch and then some.

We finished watching Journeyman - it left on a high note, and I supect that it was cancelled just in time... our dvr is slowly draining of saved shows from 2007.

Today we'll be celebrating Adam's 20th birthday a day early.

I was born on the day of a full moon, 40 years, 5 months, 15 days ago, about an hour after sunrise on the 33rd day of 1969. Candlemas, Groundhog Day, National Change your Windshiel Wipers Day. (I really dig wolframalpha)

We've got to butter his nose today, and get him some razzles. Grill up some hot dogs, give him a cake to munch - maybe some ice cream.

It's cloudy, but hot as heck.. thankfully it rained to cool tihngs off during Adam's party.

We left so BHK could finish her studies - just as well, my back is really crimped today.

Walter Cronkite has died; he was 92. CBS News has a nice remembrance.

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 -

--
In-laws and Adam came over tonight - BHK made wonderful Thai Curry soup, and it was a meal fit for a king!

Added Bonus of the day - she got a food processor for $13 - price must've been marked wrong, as it said $26 (on sale from $40ish)

It's a school night - just enough time to fix Adam's mac and hit the sack! G'nite, dear journal!

I'm a little out of whack today - hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Current mood - Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc

Trimmed the 'stache to less sleazy-looking levels, but the whole goatee is coming back or I'm cutting it all off.

After work yesterday, BHK and I met with Adam and Eric for dinner at Hard times cafe. It was $4.99 chili mac night, so I was all about that. BHK and Adam got the chili dogs, and Eric took the healthy high road with grilled chicken sammich.

we spent an hour or two talking about politics, who is voting for what and why - I hope Adam finds his voters reg card. Eric seems to be allying with the 'phants, while BHK and I are leaning a bit more toward the 'keys. It was all civil, though, and we had a good time ribbing one another.

Played a smidgen more of fallout 3 last night... got gunned down severely while working under bhk's guidance.

NOT a game for kids... pretty graphic when you shoot a guy in the head - and a lot of dubious morality.

Right now I'm playing the high karma path... being nice, helping out. I can see going back and wiping out the town, though, later, just to watch it go up in a mushroom cloud.

Not going to do the trick-or-treater thing tonight - instead, we're off after work to the Edgar Allan Poe grave and memorial site in Baltimore for a little walk around the necropolis, and have a generally spooky time.
