Are you out of your element?

Love's Labor Day's Lost Weekend

Agatha, Pert, koALa, and the EvaDewer head down to PCB this weekend for days of fun and frivolity. Katrina didn't damage the building at all, as far as I know, but it will be interesting to see how much beach we have left. We keep bringing sand in, and Mother Nature keeps taking it away. I see that battle going only one way in the long run, but we'll see.

I'll post some pictures when we get back (or maybe even while we're there, if I'm lucky).

Pert and I are gonna take in a rarity in baseball these days: We're going to a doubleheader tomorrow night at Turner Field. Should be some fun! Thanks to Agatha for the tickets, and to the aforementioned Mama Nature for raining out the original date (last night), thus forcing the two-fer.

Questions on everyone's mind:

1. Is the Gockster going to Orbfest 2005? Is there going to be one?
2. Can the EvaDewer really sit through two whole baseball games?
3. Once we get to the beach, will we really return?

Time will tell.

I've set the blogs to accept comments from members only. It seems that Eva Pictures has been found. Sorry about that. Somebody has to fuck up everything. I'm not a capital punishment guy, but I swear to god...

Let me know if you get impacted in any way when trying to comment or post.

Thanks,

For them what thinks they might get use out of this, try it out.
I just registered, myself, on the advice of a coworker.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

You know, I once had to learn a lot of this stuff.

It seems like maybe it's time for a fresh post.

Happy Birthday To Daya

Happy Birthday To Daya
By now it is August 14th in Germany, so Greetings and Salutations to Dipity Do on the occasion of yet another anniversary of his fortuitous arrival into this world of weirdos. His handsomeness is much admired this side of the Atlantic and his wisdom is lauded worldwide. Yet he remains ever humble and respectful of his elders. A gentleman and a scholar, let us praise his works.
Happy Birthday OML

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? Oxygen drops (Oxymune)? Local friend (our optometrist) suggests. Any comments, opinions, suggestions? About all oxygen therapy EXCEPT Hyperbaric I tend to say humbug. Hyperbaric? I wonder. Needs prescription by doctor, travel to provider, stay at location of provider. Medicare and insurance would not pay for this condition. Cost +- $100.00 per treatment and I infer that many treatments are recommended, maybe 40. I'm considering pursuing this, ie: trying to get a prescription. We could pick a fun location and make it a vacation sort of trip. Is this going to Mexico for almond seed extract injections for cancer? Or......? Honesty please.

September 11?

Ok, I don't get that at all.

That's a pretty heavy way of making sure you never forget your anniversary!

Who's going?

Free Credit Report: Info here

It was pretty painless to do. There are three agencies; from each one, you are entitled to a free report from each of them annually. I'm figuring on getting a free one every four months by rotating through.

JoJo's Pictures

Go to "Eva Pictures" to see photographs from JoJo's and KoF's visits with "the stars." KoF has the funniest (and creepiest, depending on your perspective) story about JoJo and his "encounter" with Adrienne Barbeau. (Sorry I kept editing this post, sending you each another message each time.)

Almost Blue

Two songs stood out: "Indoor Fireworks" and "Red Dirt Girl." We are sad to have been present for an excellent concert that we missed. (Ravinia on the lawn is no way to see or hear an artist.)

Looks like fun

Golf on Duff

Okay, what do you think of this?

The object is to state the main plot of the episode introduced. The introduction begins with one player's descripiton of the opening scene. The rest of the players then have the opportunity to come up with the plot description. The scenes are then described in order until one of the other players comes up with the plot. The players are given an adequate amount of time after each scene description to come up with the plot description. Judgement as to whether or not the given plot descripiton is correct can be a group decision. One point is accrued for each scene description needed, and five points deducted for a correct guess. The player with the least amount of points after a given number of rounds wins. A round can be when each player has had a shot at an introduction, just one introduction and solution, just one introduction, or when the players just want to quit.

Clearly, the player introducing an episode must know it well enough to describe its scenes in sequence. The more detailed and colorful the descriptions, the better. This should be part of the fun. Yeah, that's right, I said fun, dammit!

They just aren't even pretending anymore

Really nothing to add
