Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half century.

Mainly, because it led to this.

Random thoughts on a rainy morning.

• Looks like the warm break from winter is over. Raining pretty good out there.


• Luckily, I can see no reason to leave the apartment today.


• I was awake at 0300. These aching legs are becoming an issue.


• Beer helps.


• I think today we try to get a least a few of the pieces of art onto the walls.


• Not going crazy with the decorating, just want to look at something other than white walls.


• Which reminds me, art and crazy, I mean.


• Right before the whole "lungs don't work" epic began, I got my first moving violation ever.


• Illegal turn on a red light, totally my fault.


• We were finally able to pay the fine, two days before the deadline. Yay.


• But now I want to frame the original ticket, and hang it over my desk.


• Right next to my certificate from the Army making me a Field Hygiene and Sanitation NCO.


• My proudest moment. I actually got a medal for it, since I was the only soldier in the entire XVIIIth Airborne Corps to get a perfect score on the test.


• I was a Private (E-2) at the time. This was a slot for Sergeants and above.


• Army Achievement Medal. The look on my CO's face when he pinned that thing on me was priceless.


• So, is framing my first ticket weird?


• Not that weird is bad. Weird, for me, is desirable.


• EAT ALL THE THINGS continues. Tonight we're having spaghetti and trying Classico's Vodka Sauce.


• Haven't had that before. Looks interesting and the reviews are positive. Also have some really yummy looking garlic bread. Plus wine.


• 15 days until pitchers and catchers report. Still questions at shortstop, but we're returning most of a team that won it all last year.


• Best news is Pablo "Kung-Fu Panda" Sandoval has lost a lot of weight and really become committed to conditioning. A healthy Panda with plate discipline (home and dinner) is what the Giants need.


• GO GIANTS!

Heavy Metal Sunday was raised on the Beatles

So how about Soundgarden covering Come Together?

Really, do I need to say anymore?

So ends another Covers Month! Stay toasty, metalheads!

Well, bother

I've posted that I've been bothered recently by pain in my legs. I thought it was due to my moving around more after long periods of inactivity. Today I noticed that my ankles and lower legs are swollen. Badly. Checked the medication sheet for Prednisone...

Listed as serious side effects. Fuck. Doctor contacted, and I'm suspending the Pred until told differently. Damnit, this stuff is letting me breathe!

Tonight's feast...

Our dinner from tonight. Spaghetti with Vodka sauce, and Garlic/Parmesan Monkey Bread. Really good food. Alas, the Chardonnay was a little too acidic.
