Yesterday (Friday) I let the sicky Carrie sleep in until 11:30. I'd been up since much earlier, about 9:00 or so.
We got her ready and off to work, only to discover that they were about to call and tell her not to bother coming in; they had plenty of coverage, so she should just go home and get some rest.
So I brought her back home and she spent the rest of the day making some really pretty jewelry.
Around 4:00 I got insanely tired and fell asleep on the couch for about an hour. I don't know why I was so tired, but I sure was. After I woke I went to the liquor store and to Safeway to buy vodka and limes, respectively. As I was leaving the Safeway and walking across the parking lot, a man was walking towards the Safeway with a golden retriever puppy. It saw me and got all happy and bounded over to me. I said hello and it excitedly put its paws on my leg and let me scratch its chin. So cute!
In the evening I made pizzas for din-dins. Afterwards there was a tonne of Friends on the TV, which I didn't really want to watch. So I went in the bedroom and scrounged around for other TV. I found the pilot episode of Heroes and watched it (all except the first ten minutes). I liked what I saw. I wonder how grounded they'll keep it in reality (a la Unbreakable) or if they'll let it spin off into comic-book fantasy.
At 10:00 a new episode of Numb3rs was on, so I went back out to the living room where Carrie & I watched it together before going to bed. Carrie said she was kinda getting sick of Batman, so we just watched Dave and Conan instead.

Full-Blown
Yesterday (Thursday), Carrie's sore throat developed into a full-blown sick. So she came home from work a couple hours early. She'd normally come home early anyway, because she had a split-shift, so it wasn't that unusual.
Leia wanted to hang out in the afternoon, but I told her I was gonna stay home and take care of my sick wife and do her errands. Errands like going to Trader Joe's and Safeway to buy us some foodstuffs. 'Cause we really didn't have much food in the house at all.
After I took Carrie back to the store so she could teach her class (yes, even though she's sick), I was just kinda plugging around on teh intarwebs when I suddenly remembered that it was Thursday night. Of course, by the time I remembered this it was well after 8:00, so it was much too late to go to Capoeira like I'm supposed to. Oh, well, I'll go Saturday or Tuesday.
Instead, I stretched quite a bit and did some laundry so that Carrie would have clean pajamas when she got home. Which she did.

It's Really Gasoline
Yesterday (Wednesday) was one of those days where it was just too durned much effort to do much of anything. Like work, or getting up outta my seat, or blinking. That kind of a day.
Carrie had a rather social day, though. After work she and Laura went shopping. Laura was looking for some shoes and some sorta shrug/cardigan/covering for the dress she's going to be wearing to Heather's wedding. Carrie ended up only buying something for me: some dark blue/grey cargo pants. They look good on me, but they're a tad loose in the waist. I'm just belting them up right now, though.
Carrie also made an appointment for me for next Thursday... but I'll talk more about that next Thursday.
After she hung out with Laura, she hung out with Nyki. They went to The Rosewood and Metropolitan Market, and came back with something called "Pumpkin Whoopee Cakes" for each of us. I watched Mythbusters while they were gone (though they came back in the middle of it), then afterwards Carrie & I watched Project Runway.
Some time during that show we both suddenly smelled gasoline. We couldn't tell where the smell was coming from, but when we opened the front door and stepped outside it was even stronger. It wasn't enough to be dangerous or anything, but it was rather annoying to have the whole house smell like someone tipped over a lawnmower nearby.
We watched some more Batman: The Animated Series
at bedtime and tried to ignore the smell as much as we could. We both woke up with sore throats in the morning. Coincidence? I think not!

It's Finished Now
Yesterday (Tuesday) was a pretty normal Tuesday. Carrie worked in the morning, then I picked her up for her split-shift. I made potstickers for lunch. Elswise my memory fails me; I don't think either of us did much of anything in the afternoon.
In the early evening Carrie started cooking up some dinner: onions, cabbage, and kielbasa sausage, plus some noodles. When it was almost done, though, I got a call from Sandy wondering if we could come down to Gateway to India and have dinner there with them? Carrie had to teach in a short bit, but we figured we could just put the food she was cooking in a crock pot and heat it up later, so I was free to join them.
I had to walk, though, because Carrie wanted to take the car to the store to teach her class. It isn't a bad walk at all; in fact, it was the 2nd walk I'd taken that day (earlier in the day I'd walked the mile-long loop up the big hill to the west).
I had chicken vindaloo. So did Mathias, although his was spicier than mine. Man, it was really, really tasty. Afterwards they drove me back to my house and then came in and we all hung out for a while and watched Pleaseeasaur's Action Spectacular
. Afterwards we all went over to Sandy's AC:WW town. Then they left.
At that point I decided to finally finish up my Robot painting, which I did. I present it now for your viewing pleasure here:
I like it. I wanted it to have a more "pastel" feel to it. I think it's pretty successful.
After I finished with that I watched a couple of episodes of Azumanga Daioh. The first episode was absolutely awful. Horribly disorienting, disjointed, and unfocused. The second episode was great. Much more focused, and a lot funnier.
When I finished up with the 2nd episode Carrie called me to see if I could come pick her and Laura up from the store. "Sure," I said. I put on my shoes and stepped outside only then to remember that Carrie had driven the car to the store. She'd apparently forgotten as well. So I walked the six blocks down to the store instead.
Laura gave me an adorable thank-you card for the painting I'd done for her (WonderBot). We drove her home, and then came back to our own house where we heated up the kielbasa sausage meal and dug into it quite a bit. After that we ate some leftover strawberry shortcake (from Susan's birthday). And then after that we drank some sweet pear wine from Oregon. Good times!
We put on a disc of B:TAS and went to bed.

Robot Isn't Ready!
Yesterday (Monday) was a rather typical morning; in fact, I can't really recall any specifics about it at all.
After I picked Carrie up for her split-shift, I took her paycheck(s) to the bank and then continued on north to Seattle, where I hung out with Sandy. We both painted pictures of robots! Here is hers:
It's a li'l blue obot sitting on top of a monitor! I'd show you my robot, but it isn't done yet; there are a couple of touch-ups I wanna do (tonight) before I consider it finished. So you'll see it in tomorrow's post.
Mathias worked until well after 6:30, at which point Sandy & I drove down to Cobalt to pick him up. On the way we listened to The Shaggs
. If you don't know who The Shaggs are, then shame on you! I'd never actually heard any of their music in any quanitity before (just bits here and there), and I have to say there is a train-wreck fascination with their guileless, primitive art.
As we pulled up to the Cobalt building Geoff just happened to be walking out. We convinced him to get into the car as well, and then the four of us went to Bush Garden in the International District for din-dins. Mathias, Geoff, and I shared sukiyaki for dinner, which was rather tasty (though not as filling as getting tanooki udon or something like that). Geoff even insisted on getting the bill, which was extremely nice of him. Oh, well, if I worked at Cobalt and made that kind of money, I'd do nice things like that for my friends more often as well.
We drove Geoff back to his truck and then the three remaining people in our party (including me) went back to Sandy & Mathias's apartment for a little bit before Sandy decided it was time for bed and I independently decided it was time for me to go home. Mathias had me borrow Azumanga Daioh - Class Album (Complete Series)
, of which I'll watch some tonight. Maybe even whilst I finish up my robot painting? Who is to be knowing? Are you to be knowing? I am not to be knowing.

Camp Harmony
Yesterday (Sunday) I can't really remember what happened in the morning. I don't think much of anything did, really. I made an onion and salami scramble for our breakfasts. I also remember walking down to Starbucks to buy Carrie a coffee.
Around 12:30 Carrie left to go take Sophia to the Hilary Duff concert at the Puyallup Fair. I am not kidding. Hey, did you know that the Puyallup Fairgrounds was the location of one of those shameful Japanese-American internment camps during WWII? It's true!
Instead of going with her, I stayed home and had practice. Mike came over and brought Leia's leftovers from their breakfast at Southern Kitchen. A side rant: A half-dozen of my friends all decided to go out to breakfast at a restaurant that is about five blocks away from my house and not one of them thought to call me to see if I wanted to join them? I'm actually pretty pissed off about that.
Anyway, practice was fun because I got to create a character based on Inspector Zenigata.
There was a major Mythbusters marathon on the TeleVision in the evening, so I spent most of the time doing that. I cleaned some dishes during commercials, but other than that I found that I really had nothing pressing to do. So it was kind of a relaxing evening.
Why, then, did I have such danged trouble falling asleep? I probably didn't get to sleep until almost 3:00.

Cupcake Face & Bethesda, Maryland
Yesterday (Saturday) after discovering my new favorite song (see here), Carrie & I spent the whole afternoon working on stuff for our upcoming show(s). I formatted my Robot & Bird pictures, and started printing some out to fit in these cute (but inexpensive) frames that I got at Ikea a while back. I'm going to sell them as "framed art prints" at my booth. I have to get started etching glasses really soon, because I have absolutely no inventory for my booth yet.
In the later afternoon we were watching something-or-other on the TeleVision, when this commercial came on:
I laughed and laughed and laughed. You could almost say ROTFLMAO. But only if you're a NERD!
I really, really love the skittles commercials they've been putting out the last couple of years. They're wonderfully surreal, and they remind me heavily of stuff we'd probably do at Fools Play.
Speaking of Fools Play, I drove down to Fools Play and arrived only about three minutes late. Mike was already there, though. We had set the whole place up before Taisha and Geoff showed up. Taisha was feeling extra-special crappy because of a sick she had, but she still performed anyway like the trooper she is.
We expected the crowd to be smaller than we'd been getting, due to the fact that all the state schools had started up, and due to the fact that there were a whole bunch of sicks going around (as evidenced by Taisha's sick, and a funny story about Leia that I won't repeat here).
We were pleasantly surprised, then, when the room was pretty durned full! We made some good bank off that show. It was also a pretty good show, and espeically for one scene I was in wherein I played three consecutive characters who all baked a pie and then looked for their missing chocolate. Good times. It also didn't run over-long, ending three minutes before 10:00. Consequently we were out of there and over to the Rib Eye at a reasonable time.
Afterwards was Rib Eye, where I had some good coversation with Cupcake Face (AKA Amanda) and Bethesda, Maryland (AKA Chef Kevin Dibble).

Stand Up & Be Strong
Yesterday (Saturday) morning when I was driving to Fred Meyer (to go to the bonk there), a song came on the radio. It was this rock ballad all about standing up and being strong. It had the cheesiest, most horrible lyrics this side of a Pleaseeasaur's "You've Got the Tough." But it had good production values, and it wasn't over the top, so I couldn't for the life of me figure out whether it was a parody or not. If it was a parody, it was one of the funniest parodies I'd heard in a long time. If it was NOT a parody, then it was one of the saddest, most pathetic songs I'd ever heard in my whole life. Several times while listening to the lyrics I blurted out loud, "This can't be real!"
So when I got to Fred Meyer, I parked and called Carrie to have her go on KMTT.com and look the song up. It turns out it was "Stand Up and Be Strong" by none other than Soul Asylum, those refugees from the 80s. That meant only one thing:

IT WAS REAL!
I think, though, that it actually makes the song better, in that several people thought it was actually a good enough song to record! It's like watching those poor schmucks who sing worse than I do, but who for some reson still try out for American Idol. Don't they know?
I now present, for your listening (and viewing) pleasure, Soul Asylum's "Stand Up and Be Strong." I don't blame you at all if you don't want to listen to it.
Horrible! Gloriously horrible!

It's a Cliff... Howse
Yesterday (Friday) I had to get up at 7:00 in the morning to prep all the workshops so people coule sign up for them at 8:00. I then hung around my computer for the rest of the morning in case the store needed to call me to make changes/updates.
Carrie made a trooly delicious onion, mushroom, salami, and cheddar cheese scramble for breakfast.
Around noonish we went to Target to buy Susan her birthday present. Which we did.
Around 6:00 we drove up to Carrie's folks' house with a bottle of wine that we'd gotten on our trip (the Ashland Vineyard's Shakespeare Merlot) and hung out with them for about an hour before we drove to the bottom of the cliff to meet the family at The Cliff House. Years and years (and years) ago Carrie's mom used to be the pastry chef at The Cliff House, but Carrie hadn't really been there since, so it'd been a long time. I can't ever recall having been there before.
Anyway, the whole family was there. Clockwise from me:

- Jason

- My Da
- Michael
- My Ma
- My Grandma
- Carrie
I had some potato-leek soup (that was made with really thick heavy cream) and a steak. It was a very good steak. It had gorgonzola butter on it. Time for a heart attack!
Afterwards we all went over to my folks' house for presents and strawberry shortcake. We left just before Carrie's face was about to explode because of the cats. For some reason, my folks' house makes Carrie's allergies go crazy-go-nuts.
Unfortunately, we didn't get home in time to see the season premier of Numb3rs.

Bean Soak
I'm a little sleepy right now, so let's see what I can umember of yesterday (Thursday). Carrie had the day off, but I didn't. So I got up at around 9:00 and caught up on all my intarweb stuffs.
Carrie went out to the store in the afternoon and bought beans. A whole bunch of beans, which she then proceeded to soak. Then later in the afternoon she added some stuff like onions and tomatoes and started it a-cooking. Around 4:00 she went for a walk with Cat. While she was out I had phone conversations with Sandy (whose co-worker ran into a shelf and has a big black eye), Geoff (who was stuck in traffic and bored), and Brandy (who has a new phone number). I talked to them all separately, not together.
For din-dins I ate a pizza. Then I went down to Capoeira, which I didn't enjoy very much this time. The instructor was not very helpful at all and I got frustrated.
Carrie & I watched some B:TAS in bed. She's really liking the show a lot, which is cool by me!
The whole house smells strongly of beans, though.

Out!
I'm not gonna post for a couple o' days on account o' the wife & I are goin' outta town for a couple o' days. Why? Because today (Sunday) is our 2-Year Weddning Anniverserary! We ROXORZ!
We celebrated early yesterday (Saturday) by having me take the day off from Fools Play. In the morning, though, I had to get up early to turn in a work thing at the Bead Factory. I bought coffee on the way home for the still-in-bed Carrie, which she thought was a very nice present. We went out to breakfast at Shakabra Java, then went shopping (Carrie found a couple of cute things; I found nothing for myself), then went to the Mandolin Café for lunch.
In the afternoon we cleaned up the house quite a bit. Mostly Carrie, though.
In the evening Cartoon Network played that Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo OAV. It was kind of cool to see, because it was the last Teen Titans thing they ever made.
So anyway...
Today (Sunday) is our ACTUAL anniversary, and we celebrated by not doing much of anything at all. We slept in until 10:00. We did some cleaning (Carrie again did much more than I did). At one point in the afternoon I went out to see if I could find an iPod car adaptor for a reasonable price (I failed), filled the car up with gas, and bought coffee for Carrie. After that we went grocery shopping to get treats for the trip.
But that was really about it... except for the cooking. Carrie cooked (with a tiny, tiny bit of help from me) a chicken casserole, rice crispy treats, and brownies. Yums.
Okay, so I'll see y'all when I get back.

...it splatters all over everything
I worked most of the day yesterday (Friday) on the upcoming Bead Factory How-To Book, completing the layouts of all the pages and as many of the illustrations as I could in the time allowed. My Pleaseeasaur DVD arrived via the mail, so in the evening when Carrie had class (boo to class on Friday) I watched that. I'd really love to see Pleaseeasaur live at some point; the show looks like an absolute hoot. A hoot I tell you, by Jove! And I watched a History Channel program about dogfighting (airplane type, not canine type). I had this nagging feeling that I should be doing something productive with my time, but I was just dangedly worn out for some reason, so I sat like a lump on the couch.
So, yeah, yesterday was kind of an uneventful day for me, but I was just about the only one. Apparently if anything could go wrong at the Bead Factory, yesterday it did. All at once. Fortunately Carrie was comparatively unaffected by it, but Melissa and Christine took the biggest brunt of it all.
So after Carrie taught her class in the evening the three of them went out to the Parkway to releive their woes. Around midnight they all decided to "call the boys," so I went down there followed by Lawrence and (much later) Travis.
It was really very later after all of that.

Open Door Policy
So Yesterday (Thursday) Carrie had a regularly-scheduled split-shift day. In the early afternoon my mum came over and the troi of us went out to Gateway to India for their lunch buffet. He had a gohst (lamb) curry thing that I hadn't had before (it was really, really tasty), and also something that had "soy clousters" in it (too chewy for me), plus the regular bright-red chicken dish that I loves so much. It was tasty, and I ate way, way too much foods.
Later on in the afternoon my wireless mouse started acting like it was running low on batteries, and we had no batteries anywhere in the whole entire house. So I ran over to Target to pick some up, and while I was there Carrie had me pick up some Benadryl for her allergies. I also snagged a couple of Halloween things from their cheap-as-dirt section: a pumpkin candy dish and a cute little ghost purse thing. It has a zipper and handles on its back. I dunno.
After that I swung by Laura's house so I could give her back the Veronica Mars - The Complete First Season
DVDs that I'd had to "borrow back" the day before (see here). She didn't answer her phone when I called, so I thought nobody would be home and I'd have to "break in" like I did when I snagged the DVDs, but when I parked I noticed that the front door was open. I didn't just want to waltz in so I rang the doorbell. And waited for a minute. And nobody answered. So I opened the screen door and stuck my head inside.
"Helloo?" I called. No answer. So I quickly slipped inside and put the DVDs on the end table and propped up WonderBot on the couch (I painted it for Laura after all), then slipped out. I hope somebody was home and just didn't hear me; when I talked to Laura later that evening she seemed a little disturbed that one of her roomies might have left their front door open when nobody was home.
Anyhoo, I took Carrie back to teach her class and spent the rest of the evening working. I called Steph to apologize about missing Capoeira, and later on to make myself feel better I did some Ginga stuff. What little I've learned so far.

For Anyone Who Has Ever Looked at the Stars and Wondered
Yesterday (Wednesday) was a regular work-day for Carrie. I did a regular work-morning for myself. Before lunch I put out Roomba to run around and clean the floor, but he was acting very strangely, hitting walls that weren't there and lurching drunkenly. I was a bit concerned, but before I could do anything Carrie called me for lunch. I drove over to It's Greek to Me and got a falafel for her and a beef & lamb gyro for me. I picked her up at the store and we came back to the house and ate together, after which she drove the car back to the work.
I then flipped Roomba upside down and figured out that the problem was probably the fact that he'd eaten a big ol' plastic water bottle cap, and it was lodged between his brushes and his waste bin. I got that out and gave him a thorough cleaning, and he seemed much happier.
Leia came over a short while later (while Roomba was still running around—in fact, Roomba tried to eat the chain off of the easel on the corner of the front room shortly after Leia got there). I gave Leia one of the extra I Love Egg things, and she seemed pretty happy with it.
Leia of course wanted to watch some Veronica Mars, but—Oh No—Carrie and I had loaned it to Laura only last week! So I called Laura to see if I could "borrow it back" for the day, but she wasn't at her house. Good thing I called her cell phone, huh?
Laura taught me over the phone how to (I kid you not) break into her house, so Leia & I drove down there and did just that, picking up the DVDs and then coming back to my house, where we proceeded to watch the third disc and to paint. Leia painted a bird that she wasn't too happy with, although she did paint a giant egg next to it with an I Love Egg face in it. I painted this, my final Painting of the Week:
I call it "WonderBot." I like it. I'm going to give it to Laura (shh... don't tell).
Carrie came home loaded with groceries (she'd gone to Trader Joe's directly from work), and quickly set about making an absolutely fan-f*cking-tastic spaghetti dinner: She made a sausage/mushroom marinara sauce, then she made an honest-to-goodness pesto (with basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper—the classic recipe). She spread the pesto on pieces of bread that she then put in the oven to toast up. She also very lightly tossed the spaghetti in the pesto before having me serve it up by scooping heaping helpfuls of marinara sauce all over it. The three of us ate the sh*t out of it. Leia seemed a little bit in awe of how good a chef Carrie is. Food is love!
Unfortunately, the amazing dinner provided Carrie with an incredible case of food coma (what do they call it on The Boondocks? I forget), so she fell asleep in the bedroom shortly after dinner. Leia & I watched a couple more episodes of Veronica Mars before she left. Then in the evening there was a special two-hour episode of Mythbusters, so I was all set.

Chip and Chip Away Your Shell and Come to Me
Yesterday (Tuesday) Carrie took the whole morning off, due to the fact that she had go to work on her day off. She spent pretty much the whole time in bed.
It sure looked like the day was shaping up to be one of those days wherein I hardly ever step foot outisde, and the only other live person I see is Carrie. That happens now and again when you work from home.
But after Carrie went to teach her class in the evening, I decided to actually go and do something. I decided to buy an anniversary present for my wife (it's our two-year anniversary on Sunday). So I drove up to Southcenter. On the way there I was in the left-hand lane and an ambulance pulled in behind me, quite a distance back. No lights or sirens on or anything; just driving along. At a couple of points in Federal Way the left lane of I-5 splits off to go around an overpass support and then re-joins the freeway. It was right in the middle of one of these disjointed segments of the road that the ambulance suddenly put on its siren and started charging towards my tailpipe. I had no way of getting over right then, because there were huge pillars to my right and some jersey barriers to my left.
As soon as I was past the pillars I jumped across that empty strip of road that you're not supposed to jump across, and the ambulance was able to pass me by without incident.
I actually didn't actually go to the actual Southcenter (or whatever the heck it's called now). I went to the Toys 'R' Us nearby. Why didn't I just go to the Toys 'R' Us in Tacoma? Because the one in Tacoma doesn't have these:
That's right! Your eyes do not deceive you; those are tiny (about 1") figures of the infamous I Love Egg characters! I first heard that these trinkets existed from Sandy & Mathias, when they showed me some. They actually come from one of those machines where you put in a couple of quarters and turn the handle, and a random one falls into the little hole for you to pick up. I checked the local Toys 'R' Us a while back and they didn't have an I Love Egg machine.
And the one in Southcenter almost didn't either. Imagine my horror when I drive all the way up there and there is an "Out of Order" sign on the machine!
In a vain attempt to make myself feel better I wandered through the electronics section of the store. The attempt didn't turn out to be so vain after all because I found Dig Dug Digging Strike
for the DS on sale for $10.45. Any time I can get a brand-new video game I want for less than 15 bucks ain't a bad thing. I can afford to get a video game for less than 15 bucks.
I felt a little bit better, but when I walked by the exit where the I Love Egg vending machine lived, I just couldn't leave it at an Out of Order sign. So I plunked in some quarters and turned the handle. And an egg came out. Lies! That machine was not Out of Order! Whoever put that sign there was the one who was out of order! I got six total eggs (that was all the quarters I had on me), although three of them turned out to be the same. With random vending machines ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances!
Now I know what you're thinking: "He bought I Love Egg toys as an anniversary present for his wife. Could anything be more romantic?" The answer is simple: No.
I didn't wait until Sunday to give them to her. I let her open them as soon as I picked her up from Class in the evening. She liked them. I'm a good guy.

Not Really a Day Off
I had really unpleasant dreams Sunday night. Not nightmares per se, just not very much fun at all. So yesterday (Monday) I was still awful groggy for much of the day.
Carrie was supposed to have the day off, but through some sorta mix-up that I don't quite understand, she had to go in at 9:00 (she got a phone call at 8:55 that woke her up) and meet with a supplier. She didn't get home until almost noon.
Then she napped for a good part of the afternoon, and I at one point fell asleep as well. One of the best things about the day was that all our food was free; Carrie snagged a whole bunch of leftover catered food from the Bead Factory while she was down there.
In the evening Carrie cleaned a bunch while I looked up stuff about Ashland (where we'll be in a week) on teh intarwebs. Rather uneventful.

14-Hour
So yesterday (Sunday) Carrie worked, let's see... about 14 hours or so. Me? Not so much. I did have to get up at 8:00 after not having gotten home until 2:30 in the AM, so I was working on only about five hours of sleep. Actually, we were supposed to get up at 7:00 so Carrie could get to work by 8:00, but there was a whoops-up and she didn't get there until 8:30 or so.
In the morning I did some work on the Diamond-Level Fall 2006 Event, specifically some handouts for various demos that were going to be going on. I had them all on a disc and drove them down to the store, but in walking down the back hallway of the store I managed to smack the disc on a door frame and it cracked almost completely in half. So I had to go back home and burn the stuff on another disc and then bring it back to the store once again.
I had practice at 1:00, and we worked on a new format ("Song" and the more ambitious "Album") and some Strip Club Sub: The Next Generation.
When I got home about 5:30 I discovered that there was a mini-marathon of Mythbusters going on, so I put that on. After eating some leftover gnocci, though, I quickly crashed to sleep. When I awoke it was about 7:45 and was three-fourths of the way through an episode of Mythbusters that I hadn't seen yet. Dammit!
After that I did a bit of dishes and then put on The French Connection
, which I haven't actually ever seen. Carrie called me about an hour or so into it and said that she wasn't done with work yet, but that people were packing up all the food from the event, so I should come down and snack on it.
So I did. There was much cheese and salami and schweet goikins and cookies and strawbrees.
After everyone was finished with work, Carrie, Melissa, Christine, and I walked over to E-9 for a drink (though I didn't have anything). It was nice to finally be able to hang out with my wife during the weekend. I'd hardly seen her at all!
Melissa drove Christine home and I drove Carrie home.

The OverKnights
As I mentioned in Friday's post, yesterday (Saturday) the two of us started the day by continuing to get ready for Heather's Bridal Shower.
After waking, breakfasting, showering, etcetering, we went to Starbucks so I could buy Carrie her morning coffee. There I ran into Gina, who was on a coffee run for the Bead Factory. After collecting all of our collective coffees, Carrie & I gave her a lift back to the store (all two blocks). We then went straight to Party World where I purchased three helium balloons (one purple, one orange, and one red), while Carrie went upstairs and bought plates and napkins.
She dropped me off at home while she went and picked upFosia Sophia in Milton. When the two of them got back we loaded up the car with all kinds of crazy things and drove over to the Lovejoy homestead, where I helped them unload the car. I was s'posed to help Jim to get his new flat-panel monitor up and running, but he'd done it himself earlier. Oh, well.
I drove home and had lunch and all that, and finally remembered to look up Heat Vision and Jack, the fabled pilot that I'd heard about but never actually seen. But now thanks to Kane Software's invention of streaming video, HV&J is all over teh Intarwebs.
I only got to watch about harf of it before Mike picked me up to take me down to the Fools Play workshop, the last one for a while. 'Twas fun. We taught them "directing" in improv, with the after-information that doing this actually does make you a "better" improvisor. We also did some serious scenes. I of course mean the comedy technique of Serious.
Leia & Kedar showed up, despite Leia recently having Strep Throat.
Mike & I ate at El Nopal for din-dins, then headed back to the theater only to take Taisha out to Jack in the Box for something to eat.
The show was Fools Play Slumber Party, a brand-new format about the Knight children, Eunice and her brother, whose parents move around constantly. Afraid that their children won't be able to make any friends, they arrange for Eunice and her brother to stay overnight at local children's homes. There they have various (mostly) normal adventures, and each night they tell a bedtime story (a scene).
We'd never done the format before (obviously), and we had done a shockingly small amout of preparations for it. In fact, we didn't finally decide on the structure of the night until about an hour before showtime. Nonetheless, it went over like gangbusters; the audience seemed to really love those world-weary kids.
It also probably helped that there was an exceptionally funny episode of "Ragz and his 20s and 30s-Style Tin-Pan Alley Band" with special guest Marie Antoinette.
After the show a whole bunches of peoples went to the Rib Eye. Leia & Kedar came so that she could have a milkshake to ease her sore throat, but the poor thing couldn't even taste it because she was still sick. They left before I even got my food (pancake combo deal thingy), so I didn't get a ride home with them. I sat mostly with Sandy and Amber, then with Sandy, Mathias, Jake, and Tia. I also performed Bozarth's brother (called "The Congenial Party Host" by mike and "Brozarth" by Mathias) for Becky and her table. Several times.
Eventually Sandy and Mathias decided to leave, so they gave me a lift home, but I didn't get in until almost 2:30 in the AM. And then this morning I got up at 8:00.

Someday We'll Find It...
Yesterday (Friday) I was pretty sore in my calfs from doing the capoeira the day before. That is not surprising. I swung by MSMII for lunch and picked up the sammitch that Carrie had called in, then took it to the Bead Factory and we had lunch together at her desk.
After work Carrie went and did some more shopping for Heather's shower. After she came home we picked up Melissa and jumped on the freeway to see Lawrence perform live at the Starbucks in Parkland! It was his first time performing since being chased outta N'Orleans by Katrina, so it was very exciting. Besides Carrie, Melissa, and me, there was another Starbucks guy (who Gina likes or something; I'm not sure what's going on there), and Heather & Chris showed up.
We got there very early and grabbed our drinks. Then, surprisingly, Carrie got a phone call from Mary in Guam. She was very surprised, and ended up going outside to talk to her until almost showtime.
Geoff emailed me a photo of the traffic jam he was stuck in, which is why he was almost a half-hour late to the show. I'd show it to you, but I'm not sure exactly if I can get it outta my phone. Hold on a couple of minutes... Oh! I figgered it out. Here it is:
Lawrence did a one-hour set that included several originals and a handful of covers. He ended with a song from The Muppet Movie ("Rainbow Connection," which has perhaps some of the greatest lyrics EVAR written), a song from Sesame Street ("I Don't Want to Live on the Moon"), and then a Bob Marley song (I don't know what it's called).
Lawrence is a very good singer. He sounds at times like a cross between Ben Harper and Seal. Not a bad thing. Him singing "Rainbow Connection" really made me want to buy The Muppet Movie
.
Afterwards Geoff & Melissa both came back to the house. We put on Veronica Mars Season 2 Disc 1. Melissa helped Carrie chop and mix and get the food ready for Heather's shower, while Geoff & I mostly watched movie trailers and some Beijing Wushu Team videos on YouTube, like this one:

He ended with a song from The Muppet Movie ("Rainbow Connection," which has perhaps some of the greatest lyrics EVAR written), a song from Sesame Street ("I Don't Want to Live on the Moon"), and then a Bob Marley song (I don't know what it's called).
Lawrence is a very good singer. He sounds at times like a cross between Ben Harper and Seal. Not a bad thing. Him singing "Rainbow Connection" really made me want to buy The Muppet Movie
. Afterwards Geoff & Melissa both came back to the house. We put on Veronica Mars Season 2 Disc 1. Melissa helped Carrie chop and mix and get the food ready for Heather's shower, while Geoff & I mostly watched movie trailers and some Beijing Wushu Team videos on YouTube, like this one:
(Turn the volume off if you wanna watch it)
At one point Carrie had the two of us run to Fred Meyer to buy some food containers.
Geoff and Melissa eventually ended up leaving by around 11:00, but then Carrie & I stayed up until well into Conan while she made more pieces of jewelry for to be given out as prizes at the shower. This shower is a lot of work! We're still working on it today (Saturday), but thankfully the shower is actually today, in about two hours & twenty minutes from now as I'm typing this.

Can't Think of a Title
So yesterday (Thursday) Carrie had another split-shift, and during that time we finished up most of the stuff for Heather's shower. I also, for some unknown reason, just absolutely crashed hard for about an hour. It was really, really strange. I was sleeping so hard that I couldn't even wake myself up, which is highly unusual for me.
I cooked up some chicken with some homemade gorgonzola sauce for din-dins. At 7:30 I went and did the Capoeira at Barefoot Studios. There were a lot of students there this time, upwards of eight or nine, including both Steph and Geoff!
A while after I came home I drove down to the store and picked up Carrie & Laura. We drove Laura back to her house and sang her "Hovering Sombrero" by They Might be Giants

Link Roundup
Here are some interesting things I've found:
- If you've ever wanted to know how to dress like a Mac, well now you can just click on that link and learn. Aren't teh intarwebs marvelous?
- Here's a story about a real life Daredevil (the superhero, not the generic term).
- Bill Plympton has animated a
"Weird" Al Yankovich video! - Why is the studio burying the new film by Mike Judge ("Beavis & Butt-Head," "King of the Hill," and of course Office Space)?

Applesauce
So yesterday (Wednesday) was a pretty typical day, except in the morning I actually went for a jog instead of just thinking that I should go for a jog.
After I took Carrie back to the store after lunch, I came home and decided to do something with all them apples we got from Laura's folks. So I looked up Food Network on teh intarwebs and found a recipe for applesauce. It was insanely easy. I just had to peel and slice the apples, and then it was just putting it all in a saucepan with some other ingredients and letting it cook for 15-20 minutes. I only had to stir every few minutes. And y'know what? It was really tasty! It only made anough for (maybe) three or four servings, so Carrie & I (and a few other people) ate it all in the span of one evening.
"What other people?" you ask? Well, a short while after dinner new a Bead Babe, the red-headed Jennifer, came over with her 10-month-old daughter, Leila (sp?). She came over because she wanted to watch Project Runway and doesn't have cable at her place. Leila burst into tears when I walked into the room, and it took her quite a while to warm up to me, but eventually we kind of played ball. She never really warmed up to Fantastico, though (and vice-versa).
While they were watching Project Runway reruns, I was working on the bingo tiles for Heather's bridal shower this Saturday. I also put Mythbusters on in the bedroom, because I like it a whole heck of a lot better than Project Runway. Plus they were playing one I hadn't seen.
Laura and her roommate Caitlin came over to watch a new episode of Project Runway (and eat all the rest of my applesauce) just a short while before Jennifer and Leila left. After Laura & Caitlin left, Carrie & I went to bed.

Spout, Spout, Let it All Out
So, a while back I signed up at a beta website called Spout, which is kind of a movie database website where you get to dig through thousands of movies and click off which ones you've seen, which ones you wanna see, which ones you wanna buy, etc (you can make up your own categores, like "Films I wish I hadn't seen"). You can also "tag" the films with your own descriptive words or hyphenated phrases, such as "killer-robot" or "dismemberment."
It's shockingly addictive. I've only listed that I've seen some 600 films or so, and I haven't even scratched the surface. There are also forums you can join to chat about whatever. Come on... join the fun. Click below.

On My Own
Yesterday (Tuesday) Carrie ostensibly had a split-shift, but actually was only home for an hour before she had to go back and have lunch at Primo with the rest of the managers and new Bead Babe Jennifer. Then she had a meeting with Viki before finally actually coming home.
We finished off the last two episodes of Veronica Mars - The Complete Second Season
. I don't think I liked the 2nd season as much as the 1st season. 2nd season just seemed more... I dunno... sloppy? No, that's too harsh. It just didn't seem nearly as tight as 1st season. Don't get me wrong, though: I loved the sh*t outta the 2nd season.
Anyway, after taking Carrie back to teach her class I drove on to Trader Joe's and went grocery shopping all by myself! Based on the total at checkout, I know I forgot some things. Like parmesan cheese and gnocci. Y'know.
Um... yeah. I'm not gonna have that article ready for another day or so, probably.

Eu Viajei à Praia e Retornei
Yesterday (Sunday) was quite the day-o for me! I started writing a post all about it, but it was becoming such a long post that I've decided just to turn it into an Article. So if you wanna know what happened to me on Sunday, you'll just have to wait for that Article to come out (should be tomorrow).
Until then, Muito Amor.

Fresh Apple Cider
Yesterday (Saturday) Carrie & I went and picked up Laura and her roommate Caitlin, and then drove over to Laura's folks' house in Shelton. Why? To make fresh apple cider, of'n course!
First of all, their house is awexome. It has several different yards that are mostly immaculate. There are a whole bunch of berries and tomatoes and goods like that. There's also a small apple orchard (maybe a dozen trees). We tried first to pick berries, but there was only a very small yeild (the blueberries yielded the most).
So then it was straight on to the cider-making. An huge wheelbarrow of apples was near a confabulous fraptraption. Here's how the process worked:
Apples from the wheelbarrow were washed in one bucket and then rinsed in another bucket. From the rinsing bucket they went in a small, open-bottom buckety thing at the top of the fraptraption. Inside the buckety thing, blocking the bottom hole, was a thick dowel with several small, blunt metal blades set into it. This dowel was attached to a wheel on the outside of the fraptraption. Turn the wheel, and the bladed dowel starts grinding/mashing up the apples. The mashed up apples and their juices are now small enough to slip through the open bottom of the buckety thing and into a larger, slatted bucket below that is lined with a mesh bag.
Once the slatted bucket is full of mashed-up apple bits, the top of the mesh bag is gathered and then a lid is put down inside of the bucket. An enormous screw is then turned (by hand of course), which pushes down on the lid and compresses all of the apple bits, squeezing out their sumptuous juices, which collect in the wooden tray in which the slatted bucket sits. There's a small hole on one end of the tray, and through this hole the apple cider spurts into whatever container you put beneath it.
This made gallons and gallons of apple cider. No additives, no preservatives, nothing but mashed-up apple juice.
Oh, and also the leftover apple parts (after all the juices were squeezed out of them) were thrown on a pile in the yard behind the backyard. This place was pretty big.
For a late lunch slash early dinner, chicken was barbequed according to an Alton Brown recipe. There was also home-made potato salad, bow-tie pasta salad with parmesan and olives, salad, corn on the cob, and hot dogs. There was also something for dessert, but we were all much too stuffed to partake by then.
So we grabbed our jugs of cider (as well as a couple of bottles of hard cider that we were given), said good-bye to Laura's family and drove back to T-town.
Later in the evening I was picked up by Sandy & Mathias and driven to Fools Play, where I performed in a show called "Fools Play Improv" or something. Afterwards we all went out to the Rib Eye as usual, and then Sandy & Mathias drove me home (well, Sandy was the one actually driving).
But before they drove me home, we all drove Amber home. She lives in a trailer out in the woods. It was really cool, and it totally reminded Sandy of where she grew up.
Then they drove me home. I'd left my keys in the house, so I had to call Carrie and have her get out of bed and open the front door for me. Whooops!

Meanwhile...
Yesterday (Friday) morning after I dropped Carrie at her work I got straight to work myself, prepping and then uploading the new online PSBF vendor registration.
Carrie took an early lunch, around Noon:15. After I dropped her off I did a big revision to her Peyote Sampler handout because Laura is going to be taking over that class next quarter! Very exciting.
I dropped that off at the store and then drove up to Seattle to hang out with Sandy and Mathias. We went and got Vietnamese sammitches at this littel hole-in-the-wall deli that had a disgustingly gross smelling dumpster in the parking lot. We took the sammitches to Seward Park in that area of Seattle where I never go. Them sammitches was really good! And they were only $2.00 each for a six-inch sub with a lot of barbequed pork, carrots, cilantro, onions, all that kind of thing.
After going back to the apartment for just a bit, we went down to that bubble tea place for one of those Nintendo DS meets. We played a good bit of the new Star Fox Command
game. It takes quite a while to get used to flying with the stylus, but the play control is really cool. We also played the old stand-bys: Big Brain Academy, Tetris DS, Bomberman DS, and Mario Kart DS. Leia & Kedar as well as my brother all ended up showing up, so there was a pretty sizeable group going on.
One kid there was better at Mario Kart DS than I was, so I consistently came in 2nd to him. But I consistently won Big Brain Academy, and actually did really well on Bomberman.
After the meet Mathias showed off an insane book he'd found called Do You Know What I'm Going to Do Next Saturday? It's a Seuss book but it wasn't written by him, and there are B&W photographs instead of illustrations. Plus it's just batsh*t crazy, including such things as:

I'll dump water on Sam.
I'll make him take a walk.
I'll make Sam walk about a hundred miles.
Plus an unhealthy obsession with the United States Marines and some very un-childlike activity with them. You'll see.
After all that fun I started to drive back home.
Meanwhile...
Down in Tacoma Carrie & Steph had planned to have an early dinner because Steph was doing some sorta audition thing at 6:00. But the audition thing got cancelled. So instead they decided to have Steph's new beau, Jamie, over to our house for dinner as well.
A while before that was supposed to happen, Carrie went to Starbucks, presumably for coffee. Lawrence said he got off soon, and wondered if he could come over and play some Mario Kart with Carrie! Which he did. Also, Carrie made Margaritas for the two of them. They walked to the Neighborhood Market and bought dinner fixin's to make Chicken Marsala. When Steph and Jamie came over, Steph started making mojitoes.
After dinner, Jamie said he wanted to go to Shakabra and pick up his friend who was performing there. So they all tipsily walked down there, and Carrie realized that Jamie's friend was Chad, a guy she's known since he was 12.
They all walked back to the house so they could use the restroom and whatnot, and then continued walking on to Steph & Christine's house. This is where I met up with them all on my way back from Seattle. I arrived just in time to drive Chad back to his car at Shakabra, then we came back and hung out for just a few minutes more before going back home just a little bit after midnight.

Dinner & a Movie
So yesterday (Thursday) was one of those rare Thursdays where Carrie does NOT have class to teach in the evening.
So instead we went out on the most classic of all dates: Dinner & a Movie!
For dinner we went to the Parkway where she had a quesadilla and I had a cheeseburger dipper. Then for the movie we went to The Grand and saw Little Miss Sunshine, which was very cute and had some really big laughs in it, so good.
We got back before 10:00 and so we watched a couple more episodes of Veronica Mars from bed. Only two more to go now!

"Of the Month" September '06
Link of the Month:
Galbadia Hotel
While certainly not compleat (there are several notable missing things), Galbadia Hotel is one of the most comprehensive video game music download sites I've ever seen. The legality of it all is highly questionable, so I suggest you go there and start grabbing stuff as soon as you can...
DVD of the Month:
Veronica Mars - The Complete 2nd Season
Ahhh (contented sigh). We know who killed Lilly Kane now. But there are 26 more fan-freakin-tastic episodes of this, the best TV show since Firefly went off the air. And the 3rd season starts soon on the new CW!
Game of the Month:
Yoshi's Island
This was my favorite video game for ye olde SNES, and now it's been ported to the GBA, playable on my DS. That last sentence had a lot of acronyms. From what I can tell, this is over 99% accurate (I've only spotted one and only one thing that is different, and that was just a special effect thing) and it is still just absolutely beautiful and a tonne of fun to play. Plus I picked it up for under ten bucks. Score!
