9303 - Tuesday - No movie last night - instead we went to dinner with the in-laws, and after BHK and I played some boardgames. She won Labyrinth , and I took Oshi . (also discovered that the oshi set has one extra two-point piece, and one too few one-point pieces. we may play with pyramids in the future. (or penny, nickel, quarter as towers, for that matter) Both were our first time playing...

9273 - Friday! BHK is continuing to make great gastronomic strides with her "meatball" and bean soup. The veggie meatballs got a little crumbly, but they still added excellent texture and flavor to the spicy bean brew. Had more of the salad from yesterday as well, and it was a tasty counterpoint of cold crunchy to the hot and spicy. Watched the first half of Rataouille (hey! got the spelling...

Got my shots early - we had time to visit an awesome church yard sale / flea market. I got a webcam for $5 (retails for $40, minimum) - Coming soon now there'll be a Pyecam featuring Newt as well as a Newtcam Featuring Pye! Additionally, BHK got some cute crafty hair-clips, I got my grubby mitts on assorted baked goods. (A cupcake, a brownie and half of a whitch chocolate nut cookie) Additionally...

I wanted to post this one while it was still fresh, even though the automatic QotD entry for this morning was already posted: "But it's a bit surprising that SUP doesn't seem to realize that all advertising on the Internet is now essentially free advertising for ad-blocking software." -- flying_blind , 2008-03-13 [Context: While this is something I probably would have added...

Warning. This post is about a purple dildo infomercial, so if you are offended by purple dildo infomercials, please stop reading at once. It was on Oxygen Network earlier today, the purple dildo infomercial, according to a fellow blogger's post , which is worth a read if you want a good chuckle. As of five minutes ago, Geraldine Laybourne's name and headshot are still on the Oxygen Web site...

Hey, flying_blind , madslasher , got a t-shirt for you !

9070 - mon Started the week by taking a new route to work! Get an extra 10 minutes or so to sleep in, Fewer road hazards and a shorter trip home! Seems like a winner, so far. Rice and Beans combined with the last of our yummy thai/curry soup. I swear that BHK is an amazing chef. I suspect that if she went back into the restaurant field that she'd have quite a following. We watched Curse of the...

Why can't you get energy mints anymore? They used to be on every counter, now they are hidden somewhere. I'm just finishing off the last of the Warp mints I picked up when Gowings closed down. Dammit, don't tell me they're illegal. I gotta clean all this shit off my desk. Not literal feces, although it might reach that stage if I get bored enough. All these papers. The thing about paper in the modern...

9091 - Monday It started with a foggy Monday morning. (sakes, that's even weaker than "It was a dark and stormy night.") Sleepy start, but a little nap on the train into work gave me a little jump start. Warmer lately... upper 40s, with very little wind. Work progressed evenly, though there is plenty to do. The holiday cookie competition was launched in the break room - 4 entries this year. A white...

8940 - tuesday more good reviews on the dc to nyc bus BHK talked to PG county's Sheriff's Internal Affairs about the car chase a little while back. I'll be interested to see what comes of it - I only wish I would've been home with her at the time. Treat from BHK! Yum. Tastes great, looks far too brown for human consumption. Found out yesterday that someone I used to know very...
