notes

I have been SO freaking busy with my fun new job (I'm working part-time for my brother-out-law's company, in addition to all the contract work I was already doing) that I've been essentially absent from here. I'm taking a quick break, though, to post a few little notes:

1) sogwife rocks. Not only is she Snow Fucking White (a *chicken* followed her home yesterday), but she rescued all my plants from my horrid neglect the other day. She trimmed them, watered them, cleaned them, and set them back in their windowsills. She even did the outside ones. Now to see if I can start treating them better. My house has basically gone to shit the past week while I've been riding my new learning curve (which also involves some NP(roject)E), but today I am trying to whip it back into shape.

2) I like "Heroes" more and more, and "Studio 60" less and less.

3) I forgot to post the funniest line at last week's slam. The guy who won actually had a line in one of his poems about Blackbeard coming back from the dead. The phrase he used that just dissolves me and someotherguy into giggles, though, was the unfortunate "disembodied corpse". WTF?

4) Worst slogan ever, on the wall of one of our favorite Thai places, Tuk Tuk Thai (a tuk tuk is one of these): "Tuk Tuk Thai: Let us drive you to a good Thai cafe"

Costume party?

If you have any plans to come to the costume party on Saturday night at my place, please let me know. So far, everyone who earlier expressed interest in coming has said they have other plans, and the Munchkin would prefer not to throw a party that no one comes to (and so would I, as I only have him for three days). If we get no yeses by tomorrow night, we'll go ahead and cancel and do one of the other things on his list. Thanks!

The costume party is on

...so if you want to come and eat and hang out with us, and see my family in costumes, you should come!
