TRES DE MAYO

...is right around the corner, and I'll be flying out tomorrow evening to Kimberly & jim_t's to celebrate. I haven't seen them since they moved to the Mountain Time Zone last year, so I'm really looking forward to some happy reunion goodness. Posting - unlike hilarity - may or may not ensue while I'm away. (Hilarity is guaranteed)

Kimberly put this together awhile back, and it still makes me happy - so I'll take this opportunity to formally introduce you to the South Park version of the Squoogy Gang, from left to right: Mark the Bowler , Rita (aka Space Kitty) , Kimberly, & jim_t.

Just when I thought I'd seen it all...

I'm preparing for the upcoming Squoogy Tres de Mayo festival of Happiness and Joy (Much, much more to come on that subject later). So, I checked the American Airlines website to get their guidelines for carry-on luggage.

And I found this.

You'll have to scroll down a bit, but you'll find everything you need to know - but were afraid to ask - about transporting antlers on the plane. Evidently this is a common enough occurance that they had to create a contingency plan for just such an emergency.

Is it me, or does life just keep getting weirder every day?

More penguins.

I feel like crap and I'm fighting off the fucking flu my boss was considerate enough to bring to work with her all week, but even with all that - this cracked my shit up. Via MeFi.

*snicker*

OH, DEAR GOD - THE CUTE.

Thank you Natasha. Thank you, thank you.

Where you'd least expect it...

Damn.

The only possible explanation I can think of is - he must actually love her. Why *else* would he show up in public with her looking like that?

Amazing.

Ass!!

Blogger's been ass all weekend, I've tried & tried to post with no damn luck. I have no idea what voodoo Kimberly has just performed, but she made it work again. Yay!!!

Apologies if any comments were lost in the ether during the unscheduled hiatus but I'm back! Back I tell you!

*whew*

You'll never believe...

Achooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (echo-echo-echo)

You know what that means, kids? That's right - it's time for your Dodger Ditch Day!

Don't forget the traditional beernoculars, wiggle sticks, and Kimberly's patented Moment of Silence sneeze.

Enjoy!

Heh.

Yes, this actually does qualify as a blog entry, thanks for asking. (via Mefi)

*Insert the mother of all SQUEEE'S here*

Tonight.

It was the very last thing I indulged myself with when I still thought my savings account would last forever.

Considering I've waited over twenty years for this, I give myself permission to stifle the guilt for once and just enjoy. I remember sitting in front of MTV (when they still played music videos) and watching Bono wave the flag on Sunday Bloody Sunday and being inspired in the way only a love-sick teenager who wants to change the world can be.

I guess I haven't changed all that much.

I've never, ever regretted spending stupid amounts of money on concerts, and I don't think tonight will be the exception.

I. Can't. Wait.

Weekend Update

Under the threat of more nipple comments, I'm doing a quick post.

I've reached defcon-4 in the PMS trenches, where being asked to schedule a single meeting or file one measley piece of paper can very nearly reduce me to tears. And typically, I'm freezing to death in 75 degree weather, so as soon as I'm done here I'm off to thaw in a warm bubble bath. Need any more TMI? I didn't think so.

Let's focus on brighter things then, shall we? Had a lovely congratulatory, 'Yay new job!' dinner with Mark the Bowler and Natasha on Friday evening. (Thanks, guys!) They have the best thai food restaurant by their house with yellow curry to die for and serving sizes that guarantee carb-coma happiness and joy. No, I won't link it because we had to wait long enough on Friday without inviting all of the internets. More for me.

I overslept Saturday morning and missed my RVLDP class. I am a jackass, but at least this jackass can now see the bottom of the kitchen sink, floors, and a hell of lot more clean clothes than I could before. I'll take the tradeoff this once. Note to self: Just. This. Once.

Saturday was Peter's pre-birthday extravaganza at Spundae. I haven't danced that hard in a very long time, and it was outstanding. And now I have some serious love for Blank & Jones.

Sunday, due to the time change (chorus of angels sing here) started out really late - hung out at Peter's house, and through the magic of tivo discovered Serial Mom , Arrested Development and Coupling. So, yeah. I pretty much want a tivo and BBC America now. And lots and lots of free time to indulge my new hobby.

I'm off to thaw then, 'night everybody....
