It was three months worth of grass and weeds plus cutting back the humongous blackberry on the back fence. The guy did a good job, and I don't feel ripped off, plus it's probably a one time thing, since Randy's parents have promised us a lawnmower, we just haven't managed to get it yet.
Entering Day 4 of Wii ownership. I've developed a condition I like to call "Wii Arm," meaning my right arm is sore as a motherfucker. Thanks, bowling and tennis! The gym should be extra fun tonight. 
The Wii is awesome, though. I foresee winter rocking much more because of it.

So this weekend we decided to pretend we were rich and we bought a whole bunch of stuff. I could say that we had the excuse of it being EnergyChannel's birthday yesterday, but I don't think that would cover it.
We are now the proud owners of:
a new bed
a new TV
a Wii
Here's hoping we can afford groceries next week!

come on now, you know i wasn't watching that. i have watched the clip on youtube about 100 times and it just get's better and better...and such as.
Boo. Last day of vacation already. As I knew it would, it passed by quickly.
We were at Eagle Lake for a week, and got back to Portland on Friday. It was beautiful over there, never too hot, but dry as a motherfucker. It's desert, so this isn't surprising, but my skin was not pleased by the end. The lake itself was wonderful for swimming,...

Yeah, so I totally bought the new Harry Potter book last Monday and had it finished by Thursday. So much for waiting for vacation. 
It was good. I can't wait to see how they butcher it to make it into a movie. I agree with what a lot of people are saying in the HP group here, both the positive points and the negative ones....

I just read 'Everything's Eventual' By Stephen King.
It's got a bunch of his recent short stories, all of them are good.

the time traveller's wife i even have a spare copy!
I've been having one of those "I'm getting old" weeks. I've managed to fuck up my right foot somehow, resulting in what I think is a case of plantar fascitis. It means I can't walk long distances, and I can't really be on my feet for very long. I've been staying home from the gym, and just doing yoga to try and keep it limber....

Have great camp. And Enjoy that Book. its been a long time coming.
We've reached the end of Dadstravaganza 2007. It was a great weekend. The weather was perfect, allowing us to do the touristy thing on Saturday and hit Washington Park, visiting the Japanese Gardens and the Rose Gardens. I believe that we may have been the only English-speaking folks who decided to do that, as all around us we heard snatches of different languages. Japanese, Chinese,...

HA! we almost went into the city grill on Sunday, the line was too long. I'm sorry we missed each other.
Greetings from the middle of Dadstravaganza 2007, the month where we receive visits from not one, but both dads! Last weekend was EnergyChannel's papa, next weekend will be mine.
The first visit was awesome. His dad enjoys fine dining, so there was much of that to be had. We got to go to fancy-schmancy restaurants that I could never justify and/or afford. Paley's and...

I read that as Dadastravaganza 2007. I thought you and EnergyChannel had spent the week hiding behind apples and walking around saying, "This is not a pipe." or somehting.

Friday through Sunday. not sure when exactly I'm arriving or leaving.
It's always fun going to a Raveonettes show, if only for the drooling guys who wait at the front of the stage for Sharin. I think I was the only female at the front before they went on. I just didn't want to deal with another dicky Doug Fir crowd, and figured the front of the stage was the best way to avoid that. But...

I'm really looking forward to that. We probably won't venture out much until I'm working again, but we're both looking forward to meeting all the Portland people.
A word on show-going etiquette: If you are going to see a band play, and you make a point to stand near the front of the stage, please don't spend the whole show shrieking with your girlfriends in a display that tells everyone how drunk you are.
Oh, and a personal note to the blond idiot making out with his three girlfriends: no one cares...

I had fun with mine.
It was Kenetic madness, followed by sleep and lols of BBQ.
I had been watching a friends cat for the last 2 months. I would have been cool if they had told us that the cat was not fixed. It howled all night for 2 months striaght. I now feel that I deserve all the sleep that I can get.
