Tales of ickie sickie and other random nonsense

Captain Midnight has been down with a woozy head and unhappy tum for a couple of days. Today he went back to work. I'm sure it'll be a while until he is back to boldly coding where no geek has coded before, but I'm glad he feels better.

During his convalescence, CM spent a lot of time in bed doing two things: re-reading Kiln People by David Brin, and watching the Black Adder series on DVD. My favorite randomly picked dialogue from this series, culled from Blackadder's Christmas Carol:
Prince George: What can I possibly do with a girl that I can't do with you, eh?
Blackadder: I cannot conceive, Sir.
Miss V is on the phone with a friend right now, imitating her now-deceased guinea pig Ruby. This involves making little supersonic squeaks of "Wheeet wheeeet wheeet." She is a silly girl, but fun.

It's ya birth-day, it's ya birth-day...

Since it is now 12:54 AM Pacific Standard Time, it is officially MY BIRTHDAY! (Yay!) I have reached the advanced old age of 39 today.

Incidentally, that just happens to be the same age my dad was -- although he was pushing 40 -- when he died. No, I am not planning on kicking it any time soon.

Hmmm, what deviltry should I get up to today?
