Monday, Monday. So good to me.

5 Differences. We've all played this game. Nice little time waster.

If long tailed rodents freak you out, don't visit Show Rats.

Red Motel. A cool and funky indie video site.

I gotta try one of these things. I saw it on TV a few weeks ago, looks like a blast! Zorb!

Another exciting PS weekend. Friday night was J's birthday party at St. James. Wonderful hosts and a wonderful party. Cocktails were at 8:00 and dinner at 9:00 - there were 4 courses so it was a long night. We all had a great time but I must say that William and I got the short end of the stick when it came to seating. There were three long tables - maybe 8 people each and we got the "quiet table". I had a sober Left-Eyed Guy (yes, there was an issue with one of his eyes - I still don't know which one was looking at me) on one side of me and one of my current clients on the other side. Love him but... I just had a 2 hour meeting with said client that afternoon.

I understand the logic of our seating. William and I are both gregarious and chatty and it's good to put a few talkers like us in with the wallflowers. But since he and I were seated at either end of the table, we never got to talk to each other and we were forced to pull conversations out of each end of the table. It got a bit tedious and we found ourselves taking a few extra smoke breaks. God knows what they talked about while we were gone...

Unlike the missus over at the FUN table! She had quite the lively crowd with, among others, "uh oh, him", Robert, and my ex-cousin in-law (is that really a classification?) Bob, who provided constant entertainment. Bob, in his classic straight Italian guy way, was totally loaded, boisterous and making several inappropriate toasts - god bless him! He had a drunken hard-on for the mummified diva sitting next to him. I have no idea who that was or what tomb they exhumed her from, but we all had fun telling Bob later in the evening that it was actually an old guy in drag. His response? "Does she still have her cock? Cuz if she doesn't have a cock, then she's all woman to me!" Pretty.
*Update - This photo just in. I think it illustrates perfectly the loving and caring friendship that my cousin and her ex-husband share. Can you feel the love?

Saturday was Spartan football over at my cousins during the day. After the game I picked up a couple of gorgeous rib-eyes for the grill from Jensens and we had a nice summer dinner at home; Steaks, corn on the cob, roasted red skins, and a big sliced beefsteak tomato. Yum.

Yesterday we rounded up the usual suspects for a little bargain shopping in the morning. After determining that Store A didn't have anything new since the last time we were there, we went on to Store B which wouldn't open for another hour. What were the seven of us to do until the store opened? You guessed it - Bloodies! We found ourselves at Sidewinders. I've never been in there during the day and frankly, I don't know that I ever need to again. It's just as dark and sticky in the light of day as it is at night, but the bartender was really nice to us seeing as were were the only folks in the place. After our eye-openers it was time for some shopping.

I find it amazing that I can't get out of these retail adventures without spending at least $100 while the boys walk away not having spent a dime. How do they do it? Incredible will power. Granted, I bought a compressor and a mattress pad (not for use at the same time) but still... I know they had a hard time passing on those beer steins... Damn them.
