Scotto's Wall Scrawls

Regular day in ol' Scottoville, dear journal.

Icy, cold rain all day - bhk and I came home, and she had some tasty quiche for us to munch for dinner.

We both chatted a bit with Angie Goff last night via mogulus - I'm not sure if it's what I want ot use to strema newtcam, but it is a good little website, once you work out the kinks. Also so Kim Martucci on video as well - it was fun chatting with both of 'em!

It occurs to me that I haven't yet mentioned my Christmas loot. here is a brief list, likely in need of more detail later.

Here are some of the goodies I got this year, in no particular order, just off the top of my head:

• Some wonderful coupons - BHK's undying love, homemade fudge and dinner of my choice!
• Battery charger - runs on usb or wall plug
• book on playing the bass guitar
• bananagrams game - I love the bag and the pieces - can't wait to play
• scrabble poker game
• a bubble-balance (on a keyring)
• a snakehead fish plushie (in orange and green)
• Several books - Some Steven Fry, The Twelve, a book of goofy letters sent to companies, National Musueum, assorted super-hero, and other keen tomes
• a shoeshine sponge
• Wings of War - Balloon-Busting Biplane combat game from Danny
• $200 coupon good for cash transfer into the bank
• A boatload of candy, cookies and such! Including homemade haystacks from BHK - crunchies, butterscotch and peanut held together with chocolate. yum!
• Baked goods of many varieties
• a tea towel
• Oranges & assorted citrus (also a chocolate orange)
• A lovely blue striped sweater, that actually fits
• 2 new train cars for my engine - a flat freight and a yellow grain container
• A miniature Stonehenge kit (will look good by the train)
• a laser-pointer/flashlight gizmo
• best of the Thunderbirds on dvd (the puppet tv show, not the rock band)
• a tissue box cover made of scrapbook paisley and clip art frogs
• a martha stewart pie cutter/server

Did I forget anything? Sure I did... but I'll mention them as they pop up either in use or conversation.

Newton sunning upstairs on Pyecam - he loves going up there from about the time I leave the house to midday, when the sun has passed, and the heat-beam has shifted.

Tooth is definitely damaged - filling and tooth itself have pulled apart, and the tooth portion is loose. we'll see what happens tomorrow. Pain is ok - still only at medium headache level.

BHK and I have really gotten into following the blogs of a few WUSA9's folks - Kim Martucci and Angie Goff, specifically. They're trapped in a horrible blogging software called pluck, but once past that, it's really fun to see folks that are brand new at the whole on-line journal thing... and puts a more interactive and social face on folks you normally only get to see in a one-way medium of TV. I've mentioned both Kim and Angie before once or twice, and they both seem to be swell people.
