o captain my captain

seriously?

Do people actually click on these things? And moreover, do they think to themselves "Oh my gosh! I know who that is! Im gonna win!"? 

Beyond that, you're asked to 'Name the politician" to win a dinner for two at Chili's. I suppose it would be a challenge to those that think that a dinner at Chili's qualifies as a grand and extravagant prize - and of course those people are likely to have some difficulty with this question since, you know, "they all look alike".

Not such a challenge to those of us that have indoor plumbing and teeth.

don't go changing

  

Oh, just STOP already! You were fine headed the way you were...  why do you want start heading back East? Seriously, Ike. No one likes indecisiveness. Just not cool.

Billy, if  you're reading this - you really need to put down the Jaeger shots and get back to your hurricane steering mind control mojo thing. Sure, you can command the sound on the TV to be turned on with your thoughts - and yes, that is impressive - but I won't believe that you are LRH level until this thing stops moving toward me.

Not to wish all of this on the residents of TX - but you know what? I dont live in Texas. Since a blog is about the most self-indulgent and narcissistic thing a person can have (besides children, I mean. "Im so awesome I need to make miniature versions of myself") I feel that I get a pass. 

I cant really complain about yet another crappy weekend of bad weather... its not like I go outside. But Id rather not have the outside coming in, either.

westward ho!

 

Thanks to good fortune, unexpected shifts in weather patterns or perhaps to my amazing friend Billy's ability to shift the path of / or dissipate the strength of oncomig hurricanes with the power of his mind - it looks like we won't be getting a direct hit from hurricane "Ike".  Granted, its still early - but I dont plan on pissing Billy off any time soon. And I wouldn't suggest that anyone else piss him off either.

I knew he was a man of many talents. I was surprised that controlling the weather is one of them. Although, there was that whole "Katrina" thing. I suppose its like Jedi powers or something - takes a while to deveolp after learning that you have the ability. 

 (And if Im not accurate about the Jedi Power thing - I really dont want to hear about from you sci-fi nerds and a Star Wars buffs. Im talking to you, Amanda and Billy.)

friends in high places

Ginny and Aaron on my roof replacing shingles before the next big
storm. I feel a bit helpless since I haven't really been able to do
much to assist them. Of course it's probably better than being in the
way and/or having my fat ass fall through the sad, saggy, old and
unstable roof.

And seriously, how badly does this dump need a pressure wash? Of
course that would probably knock the house over.
