Scotto's Wall Scrawls

Happy Birthday to me... 39 years old today! Also, Happy Groundhog's Day. Saw my shadow this morning - More snow, I guess!

You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
And now you're older still

Time
Is marching on
And time
Is still marching on

This day will soon be at an end and now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
This day will soon be at an end and now it's even sooner
And now it's sooner still

You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
And now you're older still

First Present was a box of chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons from BHK by way of the cakery yummo.

Still sickly, so I spent the bulk of today in bed, resting after getting back from my allergy shots. BHK is bouncing back much more rapidly than I am. Big day out will be next weekend, most likely. Heading to Baltimore's National Aquarium and maybe the B&O railroad museum, if Larry comes along.

Dinner of tasty veggie meatball subs and baked potato - nom nom nom

Birthday cake is dark chocolate, with white icing... and gummi green army men fighting to the top! Pictures to follow as available.

Presents from Kev-o: Godzilla Cartoon - Vol 1, Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales, and Family Guy: Blue Harvest goodie sets.

From Mom& Wilton - $50 Barnes and Noble Gift card.

I get to cut the cake and open my other presents tomorrow! Superbowl Sunday... I'm in a pool, but I really don't follow football, even if my home team of the Patriots are playing.

BHK buttered my nose sneakily on a sneak behind this morning, after a failed attempt to get my beak while I was showering.

It's Robb's birthday today, too... I hope he's having a dandy one as well! Happy Un-birthday to everyone else!

Oh, come on.. the voice of Bart Simpson is a Scientology supporter, too?

Ugh and yuck. Recent donation list.

• Nancy Cartwright (Bart and Rufus the Naked Mole Rat), 50, Patron Laureate Award: $10 million.
• Kirstie Alley, 57, Diamond Meritorious Award: $5 million.
• John Travolta, 53, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
• Kelly Preston, 45, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million.
• Priscilla Presley, 62, Patron Award: $50,000.

I'm still trying to figure out how Kirstie Alley can afford a $5 mil donation.

I wonder if there will come a time where I boycott all movies because money is going to that organization. Dang Scientology.

Diet Chocolate Cherry Dr. Pepper.... My Closest approximation? It tastes like you're drinking a chocolate tootsie pop. Not really Chocolaty... oddly synthetic. Cherry Vanilla wins far and above over this, but it's an interesting variation. Still better than that "Berries and Creme" variant, that I'm not missing at all. Jone's Chocolate Fudge soda is better, but not much.

Against the voting public, I went to see lost souls, on the logic that the others will be around longer, and therefore more accessible in the future. I'm glad that we went... it was quite well done, frightening, and well done. Lots of twists and turns, a few plot holes, but a nice scary ride. Also Picked up pumpkins for next weekend's gourd-carving... now I have a week to decide what sort of face/design to put on Ol' Jack.

Robb's is a very cool shape, sort of a "muppet Bert" slightly tapered cone, with a neat haircut-swirly stem on top. Mine's a more classic rusty-orange, and round. I opted out of picking up two...Also went to best buy, and decided against buying crimson skies or the AOE2 update... I'm doing ok in the games department.... besides, it gives folks stuff to get me for Xmas and B-day. :)

Got to shop for the rest of my costume tomorrow, but aside from that, the day is free...

Worked to a decent hour, then went out to dinner, and a few games of pool with Robb. He's quite good... and I'm quite bad. My only saving grace was that he's bd at getting the last ball in at 9-ball. The servers at dave and busters are quite attractive, and while paying the bill, one of the girls there offered to let me take home a pool ball. I accepted, then she said she was kidding. Wacky servers! Had a girl whose first night was tonight...she did good, but was semi-pokey. All of the folks there are quite professional and friendly. The food's good.

Robbo pointed me at this site. Technical Virgin. It made me laugh , long and loud.
