So Long B-lo, for a bit
in 12 hours I leave for a 5 day vacation in Boston with (e:maureen). What i need really bad is a vacation from work so it will be nice. But i will miss everyone here. How silly, it is only 5 days, but I don't leave a lot. I can't wait to do all the things we missed last time I was in Boston. Oh wait< i don't believe we missed a thing cuz we jam packed that vacation. At least we will see Salem and who knows what else this time....oh yeah the DUCK TOUR! I Can't wait for that. What I can wait for is dying in a plane crash though now with terrorists I am not nearly afraid of crashing as I am beiong hijacked. So thats' good right? At least in a hijacking you have a chance of winning. Who can't fight off a buttload of terrorists with Purell, Visine eye drops, sunglasses, a book on style and how the French made pop culture, and a couple magazines. Cuz that is what I have in my carryon, and i thin kthat might just be weapon enough to succeed against hijackers.

hey, maybe y'all should send (e:RZOO) a message. She's living is Boston and I know she is super awesome!
ladycroft - 11/08/06 10:50
duck tours are so much fun, you'll have a blast!
lilho - 11/08/06 09:25

Lazy Saturday- UPDATE
So I am still in my PJ's and it is almost 8pm. I had such high hopes for car cleaning and shopping today. Instead I got sidetracked by like 6 hours of Golden Girl Trivia online. If you get one of the top four scores your name will appear on an episode of Golden Girls on LIFETIME!!! My highest score is currently 125 highest. Holy heck it is way harder than you would think. People are hardcore trivia masters. I would have thought I would be one but I guess not.

I must shower soon though becuase of Teres's pole dancing classes Chippewa scavenger hunt tonight. If you see us out stop by because Teres gets points/prizes for getting different people to do tihngs on poles and stuff. We have to find all the bars with poles...

....ok back to one more round of trivia

I AM NOW IN 48th place. NUMBER 1 HERE I COME!
lilho - 11/07/06 15:25
i support you in your quest mike!
mrmike - 11/04/06 22:21
Keep your eyes on the prize, bro
iriesara - 11/04/06 20:39
Mike, What is the link for that site? I freaking LOVE the Golden Girls, and actually sometimes I watch the Golden Girls I think about how much you love them too. I can't imagine what the questions would be!

Waiting for the Adjustor
Well they found the girl from the accident. Worked out that she is liable. Now I am just sitting here waiting for them to arrive to look at my car and give me some money hopefully!
museumchick - 11/02/06 17:01
I hope it works out for you. I'm glad to hear that they at least found her.

3 Interesting Things
1. The girl who was drunk and hit me does have insurance. It turns out the police report and everythign was wrong. Her insurance company called me today basically saying they will give me the money. The catch is they have to talk to her first, and haven't been able to fnd her. They can't pay out claims without talking to her. I told them to call jail, she might be there.

2. Elephants groom themslves when looking in mirrors which means something really important that I can't remember at the moment. They join an elite group of humans, chimps and possibly dolphins as the only animals who recognzie themselevs in a mirror and use it to be pretty or soemthing. I love elephants and I love mirrors so it is good news all around.

3. Bob Barker is retiring in June. This is so very sad. to think me and my friend Carly from like elementary school always dreamed of going and meeting him and "coming on down" . Maybe I wil lhave to call her even though we haven't hung out in years and make a quick trip to LA for a little Pricing game.
iriesara - 11/01/06 11:29
Mikey you come stay with me - We'll totally go to the price is right - although with Bad Bob retiring, tix are going to be tough to get! Maybe I should try now!

"The catch is they have to talk to her first, adn haven't been able to fnd her."

I have a friend who went through the same thing. I have a suspicion this is a stalling tactic. Stay on top of them and get your money!

Frightworld
OMG me and (e:mk), (e:jill) and (e:beast) went to Frightworld tonight by the Eastern Hills Mall. (e:mk) talks about it in her journal also. Lets just say the four of us should not do haunted houses together. It was five different houses you could go in. In the first one after many a slamming ourselves into walls cuz we were in a huddled mass and could not run without falling. Well we eventually reach a room with a chainsaw man at which point (e:mk), (e:jill) and myself basically back into a corner screaming and refusing to move for way to long and then run out the wrong way aka the kiddie exit. We get lost in the bakc room where al lthe people in costumes walk around and eventually get escorted out from back there by a man in a furry costume.

me and (e:jill) thought we were gonna call it quits and (e:beast) and (e:mk) did the next one alone while me and jill tried to huddle near the polic officers cuz even in the outside area it was scary cuz they had people walking around scaring you and chasing you with chainsaws. there was no rest. We eventually huddled with an eight year old boy hoping he would protect us.

We decided to brave another house whihc was not supposed to be as scary and i kept my eyes closed the whole time. It wasn't too bad except it was so painful cuz we were huddled in a mass and it was thin walkways for one perosn so i kept getting my head/arms/body slammed into walls and cornerns. At the end of it there was this rainbowy spinny tilty bridge and I was terrified that they had accuidently lead us into the clown one which I did not think i wanted to go into so i freaked out nbut it turned out it was just the end of the one we were in. We were guided out by this man with a glowstick> I tink we were holding eveyrone up cuz it wasn't really suppsoed to be a scary one and we were in a huddled mass stuck in many spots.

We neededa nother break after that and the people in costume were so mean scaring (e:jill) mainly cuz she lookd so scared but we deivsed a plan where we put our heads together and if we didn't' look at them for long enough and cried hard enough they would go away.

MK and Teres did the insane asylum one by themselves cuz I am terrified of asylums , jsut the thought of one terrifes me and they said it was the scariest one.

We then went in thte circus/clown one and it was terrifying but fun. Clowns are scary. It was like funny/scary. We did slam into many more walls and I thkink i knocked some of the decoration off the one wall. One of the scary clowns eventually sang a song with us to calm us down.

Yeah we are like five year olds, we know it, I am prolly never going to a haunted house again ever! We were suposed to go out after because it is daylight savigns and we gain an extra hour but I am feeling way to beat up/in pain/stomach ache/headache. Seriuosly it took everything out of me goi ngin those scary houses.

They had a concensision stand. Who can eat at a thing like that. I am still tense as can be.
I may never sleep again....
