Should be a good time. Only downside- R can't go- she's stuck at a lreally crappy craft bazaar all...

So I watched Kung Fu Hustle a couple of nights ago. I was really pleasantly surprised at how good of a movie it was. I expected silliness, I expected some typical genre improbability, and i expected a good time, but in a "Kung Pow: Enter The Fist" kind of good time.

Have a great weekend!
dorwayin:
Thank you sir for your kind words
Wow!!
I totally didn't mean to subjugate others to that hellishly long quiz, nor make them feel obligated to take it themselves. just thought it would be a kinda fun way to put myself out there a little.
Anyway thanks to dorwayin and Almalthia for being troopers and doing it too!
Very enlightening...

Heh heh... I wore my new Napoleon Dynamite boxers. They say "Flippin' sweet moves" and have pictures of Napoleon doing his "Vote fro Pedro" dance. Heh heh. Sweet.
My wife is so cool.

ahhhh! those boxers sound amazing!!!
dorwayin:
well sir, it appears as though you should be on my friends list. If you'll accept of course. It is rare for me to find people who know what I mean when I say something. Lots of people would chalk what I said off as some emo waaa give me love bullshit. You however know exactly what I mean. I think that too many people are so blinded by ignorance that they don't see the positivity in my negativity, and that is going to get us nowhere. Thank you for seeing it my way.
You should absolutely reacquaint yourself with the gits. This would be a better place if Mia was still here.

Well, I've had a fat lot o' nuthin to say the past couple of days.
So here is a fun fact about me. Or not so fun. Whatever.
I've only been out of the country twice in my life.

Well, the birthday went well. Despite being slightly sick (held at bay thanks to Excedrin), I had a great time. Regan got me a new car stereo- yippy!
The old one was such a piece of crap i had actually taken to reading while I drive to keep myself from dying of boredom in the car. Pretty ironic, eh? Moronic maybe.

I work the front desk at a veterinary clinic.
So yes it's a health field for non humans
The patients are much cuter.
Hope you and your wife are feeling better.
I had a little relapse today, and i have a feeling its going to take another week for this to get out of my system

Thank you. 
My birthday today. I am a big 35- feels a little strange. I'm not feeling all that well for one- feels like a flu or some such, and we are not really doing anything special. But it still feels like a big one. kind of the point where I am not "young anymore" - not old, but no longer young. "Mature" i guess would be...

You obviously got very spoiled yesterday!
Your film choices were excellent, i am a huge Christopher Guest fan as well.
I love the fact that he always works with the same ensemble cast and pretty much lets them improv. They work so well off each other.
"Yeah....but this one goes to eleven"
Glad to hear that your wife has given you the gift of music all over again.
Funny to think how far technology has taken us since we were younger, i still remember the day of eight tracks.
Keep me informed regarding your personal opinion on the brandy vs. whiskey debate.
and feel better soon.

I tried one half of a fencing lesson. Maybe I'd do better with a better teacher. I want to learn how to use a bow and arrow. Pointy shiny things are fun.
Well, I finally get to update about last weekend. And it's time for a new weekend!!
Went to the Market Fair, and actually it was everything I'd hoped for (well, almost, but we won't talk about that )
Got there Friday and set up, everything went well with my girl, no sniping at each other as we put up the tent or any of that....

Happy birthday!

happy birthday man.
As usual, my excitement about something is tempered with anxiety.
I have been enjoying Rev War reenacting for 3 years now. Enjoying is probably too weak a word. But I can't think of a better for now. Anyway, I anticipate events like they are the only thing keeping me sane sometimes. But this year has been different- rifts in the group, low attendance and turnout,...

Hope you are doing okay
I am currently sick, and feeling extremely sorry for myself.
At least i had taken this week off from work, so hopefully i will have this virus gone from my system by the time i have to go back to work.
What have you been up to?

What have you been up to?
You obviously have good taste in food and booze.
The treacle dowdy sounds rather tasty....if not a diabetics worst nightmare.
And you have an iguana as well.
we see quite a few of them at our clinic.
But yeah, like yourself....i'm into the cuddly animals more so than reptiles, fish or birds.
Hope you had a great weekend.
I'm fixing myself some soup.
We just got back from the wake a little while ago. Damn....they are not only depressing, but you always feel so awkward and fidgety at them too.
If i had my own home, id probably have a menagerie of animals myself.
But with an apt. four cats is enough.
Your wife sounds wonderful by the way
And i can relate to sometimes taking for granted the good things that are in my life.
Thus the reason for my sappy journal entry which is a little out of character for me
