Resurrection
Posted on | October 27, 2006 | 8 Comments
I was in bad shape yesterday. My right eye socked throbbed. Each heartbeat brought about another rush of pain. It didn’t let up. I managed to make it to school. I should rephrase that. I made it to the parking lot, finished my reading in the car, and then it started. My stomached clenched and seized. For a good 10 minutes I dry heaved in the parking lot. There would be no class (this is the second week in a row). When I got home, I called D, and I wrapped myself in a blanket and curled up into pained ball on the couch. He made me eat, and gave me one of the ibuprophins that I had for my back. I went to bed very very early. I feel much better now. This is a starting over point. Next week things will be different and my expectations for myself will be more realistic. I’m only human, no matter how much I deny that little fact.
So, I am working a little late, but this evening, D and I will start off our lovely weekend with a nice dinner at Babbo’s. Where it goes from there, who knows. But, we are planning a lot of rides (I would like to manage 120 miles in the time we have off.) and I am going to catch up on the homework. I still have to go to class, but I will in a good space.
Final Punking Party thingy!! Remember, it’s Saturday @ 9:00. Bring your drinks and a lawn chair. I’m providing snacks and a good time. Oh, and I am supplying punkins!!! Hollie — you asked about s’mores. Regular marshmallows have gelatin, but one of my friends is trying to make vegetarians marshmallows for me. If you want, bring s’mores stuff. I have the sticks for the marshmallows
I haven’t done links for a while, so here you go!
Alternative punkin patterns. Since we haven’t carved anything yet, I thought we should try one or two of these!!
Trade paperbacks! I am very into the trading thing vs purchasing at full price and throwing things away. I think this is a brilliant idea. So, what do you think?
Firefox 2.0. I updated Firefox as soon as I could. 1.5 ran slow on my Mac and got buggy on my work PC. But, 2.0 is like buttah. And little features, like the internal spell check make me very very happy. I won’t get into how much I hate IE, and I’ve been very disappointed in Safari. I heart Firefox. And because I am a total dork, I have lots of fun with the extensions and the themes. Yes, I’m a geek. Bite me.
Wil Wheaton reviews Sandman. I love his sense of humor. He always seems to make me giggle.
How much do you know about the Peanuts classic “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown?”
And in honor of my beagles and the great pumpkin – a morning strip for you.

I’ve seen that paperback swap thing and kept meaning to do it. I think it’s a nifty idea! And the Great Pumpkin is a favorite of mine and my father’s; it’s one of the few things we agree to like together.

I love Peanuts. Well, I should say, I love Snoopy. He always has the best lines. I have only seen the Great Pumpkin twice, when I was very young. I think I am going to record it this year and sit down with my beagles and watch it. My papa-san (stepfather) and I don’t agree on much, and I doubt he likes this. It’s just not his thing. That’s okay though. No one is perfect

I could see Puck saying that to little dogs.
I used to love Peanuts as a kid, but I’m no t the biggest fan now, though I have to like Snoopie, cause well, I get to see his dance every day at beagle feeding time. I am glad you are back alive, though.

I honestly didn’t understand the dance until we got Puck. I need to make a short video of him dancing. It’s fucking hysterical. And it feels good to be alive.

Doesnt Chamberlins or Whole Foods have the “special” marshmallows?
I will bring some regular ones for my chillins… but I will try to find the special ones for you.
We have not been carving punkins with faces lately; I like to drill holes all over the punkins and put twinkle lights inside them. Its pretty. I like pretty. The Great Pumpkin is on tonight… I think its on 2, 6, or 9… I dont remember.

Ok, random joke…not about beagles, fathers or magical marshmellows…but it might make you laugh.
Cannibals capture three men. The men are told that they will be skinned and eaten and then their skin will be used to make canoes. Then they are each given a final request. The first man asks to be killed as quickly and painlessly as possible. His request is granted, and they poison him. The second man asks for paper and a pen so that he can write a farewell letter to his family. This request is granted, and after he writes his letter, they kill him saving his skin for their canoes. Now it is the third man’s turn. He asks for a fork. The cannibals are confused, but it is his final request, so they give him a fork. As soon as he has the fork he begins stabbing himself all over and shouts, “To hell with your canoes!”

How was your carving party?

Sorry I couldn’t make it to the party – I am still only half alive.
