Howdy pardners
Yeah, I really dont want to be at work today Not one bit No sireee bob I definitely dont want to be here
And yet I am
Sooo went to the Renaissance Faire with PERHAPSEVIL on Saturday. I think she enjoyed herself. I mean, she appeared to be having a good time, but considering the scorching temperature and all the beer we drank, she might have just been suffering from heat stroke Which would have explained all the spasms and drooling But you never know with her.
I tried to convince her to get a black leather barbarian girl corset thingie. Personally, I thought it was very tasteful, but she just wasnt taking.
She did come away with a CD of bawdy drinking songs, but we later learned they really werent all that entertaining when listened to sober. Oh well, live and learn.
And that takes us to Sunday
We reached a compromise: Wed take her little sis to see Sith. Shed get to hang out with the munchkin, and Id get to see the movie again. Everybodys happy.
Unfortunately, little sis was too sick for the flick But well enough to go to the park for paddle boats and bicycling.(!?!)
Of course this evasion was based on little sis not wanting to disturb the other viewers with her coughing.
Suuure
Ive said it once and Ill say it again, theres no perhaps-ing her brand of evil.
Im pretty sure they conspired. They pulled it off flawlessly; a classic bait and switch con, if ever there was one. They set a trap and lured me not into a nice air conditioned theater, but to a hot old park full of stupid trees, ponds and nature-ish stuff.
And in classic Murphy fashion, in a great big huge park, I manage to run into the one freako carrying their pet snake around as Im coming out of the bathroom.
Even better, I had to sacrifice life and limb to keep little sis from driving us into the pond on a two-seater bike. She maintains that she was in full control, but I saw the terror in her eyes. We were headed straight into the drink. So as I put my foot down to stop us, I went over the handlebars in perfect ass over teakettle form, providing many a park-goer the opportunity to laugh and point. Luckily, after years of less than stellar coordination, Ive become accustomed to such mockery.
Anyway, when I got back home, roommate number one was all smiles, having seen Sith earlier in the day. Now you must understand, this is a guy who hasnt really left the couch since 1998, yet hes seen Sith twice in less than a week BEFORE ME!!!
So yeah, I explained to the Evil One that my giving up Sith to hang with she and her sis is probably the greatest compliment shell ever get from me. Thats not to say Im short on niceness, but on the Murphy scale, niceness is measured something like:
3. Helping a friend move
2. Giving a sick friend a spare organ
1. Not seeing a star Wars movie to go to a park
Thats right, youre more likely to get a kidney out of me, than for me to give up seeing a new Star Wars movie. We all have our priorities. This one just happens to be mine.
Anyway, what about my reputation? I mean, work in geek saturated environment, and let me tell you, the word whipped has been bandied about quite a bit today.
Oh well It was still a delightful day, I guess Just one without Star Wars.
