EnergyChannel made amazing french onion soup last night. This is extra amazing due to the fact that I don't like french onion soup, or much else that tends towards the oniony end of things.

Be jealous that I live with a gourmet.

BBQ officially over. One guest left to sleep on the couch. Tomorrow comes the cleanup.

To everyone who showed up, thanks for coming over. I had a great time.

I think that Mother Nature knows that I have an outdoor activity planned for tomorrow, and she has decided to punish me for some reason.

The rain started as soon as I got off work.

I am a true Pacific Northwest resident though, and as such, the rain does not stop me.

Fuck you, rain.

Steak, boobies and friends. The only way to spend a Monday night.

Went to the Miss White Trash Beauty Pageant last night. This is apparently an annual event here in Portland, where the ladies compete for a lovely prize. This year's prize was a beat-up pickup truck, a huge trophy and twenty bucks. Awww yeah.

Driving to Seattle to return the boy today. I wonder how bad the traffic will be since it is actually Memorial Day? I mean, the idiots are out in force enough when it isn't a holiday weekend. This time, I may actually get to witness EnergyChannel's head explode from frustration.

But I hope not.

I can never sit down and eat a small, dignified handful of chocolate-covered raisins. It's always like, 50 of them, even if I'm not that hungry.

Don't worry, they're the good raisins from Trader Joe's, not the crappy Raisinettes or anything like that.

I don't normally post funny emails, but this one is, in my opinion, required reading.

Actual Analogies and Metaphors Found in High School Essays

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

We all have our opinions on the new Star Wars flick. My opinion is that it's the best of the new three, but sadly, that's not saying much. Did they get Hayden Christensen to play Anakin as an homage to the whiny bitch that Mark Hamill played in the original three? Because Christensen is literally painful to watch. He makes trees look less wooden.

And off to work I go. I actually do feel better, so as long as people don't expect me to talk too much, or have much of a brain, this day should go swimmingly.
