9:58a Data dump
Texas. Too much happened to recount it all here. The hill country was surprisingly green, and beautiful. Everyone I met went out of their way to be kind and welcoming. The food was ... overwhelming. The heat was crazy. I got along well with all of Jimmy's family. I experienced a lot of nostalgia from the family reunions I used to attend back in the day. Even though it was exhausting, I'm glad I went.
Jimmy wants to put the blackout curtain back over the bedroom window. He's having a harder time adjusting than I am. Ironic, huh?
Last night I baked a batch of my favorite chocolate chip-oatmeal-pecan cookies. Now I have all the snacks/dessert we'll need through the rest of the weekend, and with the oatmeal and nuts, I feel they're as wholesome as they are tasty.

11:06a Mixing it up
Had a men's party last night with an almost entirely new cast of characters. Of course Doug and Brad came; they're fixtures at these things. This time Matt & Larry B. and Jon & Glen came, as well as a few other acquaintances and guys I had "recruited" online. The highlight for me was Matt, and I was glad to finally get to have some fun with him; it was just as hot as I thought it would be.
current mood: pleased

7:06a JOTD Handicap Accessible
A priest checks into a hotel and says to the receptionist “I hope the porn channel on my TV is disabled.” She replies: “No sir, it’s just ordinary porn, you sick bastard.”

11:06p Good/bad
Survived a week with my parents, brother, and his children and am now in Lake Tahoe/am stuck in a hotel room next to people taking the pot (and lots of it). (Why isn't their smoke alarm going off?)
The Pet Shop Boys have the number one record on the Billboard Dance Charts/I am bad at math and Neil just turned 55, not 54 like I thought - enjoy your special menu at Dennys, Cupcake! I'm not sure which of us I'm more embarassed for.
There is no news yet about the closing of the hospital and the latest rumor is that they will still keep the emergency room open and at least one of the floors and probably convert one of the other floors (or two) to a rehab facility (as the city voted down the plan to convert the entire hospital to rehab/urgent care)./they are going to wait until September until they bother to re-vote or bother to tell us anything else so we will quit worrying or know to look for another job. STILL. This has been going on for like six months now.

At Rex's place on Albert's Eee (ohmygod I keep typoing and I can span the keyboard with one hand) with Jin, Shiehan, Jackie as well as the aforementioned.
Ate at Flushing, went KTV, tomorrow we're going to the beach.
Much poking fun at Jin's virgin eyes/ears. XD Desultory card playing and Mike's Hard Lemonade, mostly wang-ka-ing of course with all the laptops about...

12:25a Safely in NH etc...
Got in last night. Slept. Went into town today to see the new Harry Potter movie.
Still kinda freaking out over an accident I saw on I-90 in NY (somewhere around mile marker 220). Emergency vehicles were not yet on the scene, and there was a motionless, bloody, kind of not-right-shaped looking body lying face down in the road. A little ways up was a motorcycle in the left lane of traffic. A half-dozen cars had pulled over and there were two motorcycles parked in the shoulder. I have no idea if the guy was alive or dead but he looked...well... I managed to just be queasy and shaky for about 7 hours but I did throw up when I got to the cottage.
Went swimming in the lake this afternoon. It was bliss.

Oh Noes.
TV go boom.
We're hoping it's just the heat, and that will get better tomorrow. If not, that's a $100 replacement bulb. :(
This means no more rock band or blu-rays until it's fixed. :(
I shall perish!

6:52p I love my house. I love summer.
Dany's grilling steak. Justin's deep frying potatoes. We've got a salad of home grown lettuce, tomatoes and string beans. For dessert I made a triflote! It's like a trifle but in a casserole pan. It's made with from scratch lemon pudding, home whipped whipped cream (I like to put powdered sugar and vanilla in mine) and home made raspberry sauce. The raspberries weren't home grown because my raspberry stick never grew but they were fresh.
And now to relax with a beer and some old music and the smell of meat burning over coals.

10:55a OMGWTFHBP
Having now seen Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I feel the title could perhaps be altered to better reflect the content of the majority of the movie. So here are some suggestions in that regard: ( Cut for vaguely spoil-ish stuff )

6:53a JOTD Just Farting Around
An old man and his wife have gone to bed. After laying there a few minutes the old man farts and says, "Seven Points." His wife rolls over and says, "What in the world was that?" The old man replied, "It's fart football." A few minutes later the wife lets one go and says, "Touchdown, tie score." After about five minutes the old man farts again and says, "Touchdown, I'm ahead 14 to 7." Not to be out done the wife rips another one and says, "Touchdown, tie score." Five seconds go by and she lets out a squeaker and says, "Field goal, I lead 17 to 14." Now the pressure's on and the old man refuses to get beat by a woman so he strains real hard but to no avail. Realizing a defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he has, but instead of farting, he poops in the bed. The wife looks and says, "What the hell was that?" The old man replied, "Half-time, Switch sides."
