B-Lo Day 1
Right now I am in (e:maureen)'s apartment while she is at school. This vacation is all about relaxing and just having fun. Last time we did they hyper powered see everything so this time is more laid back. Last night we ordered in Chinese food and watched like 2hours of Laguna Beach.
The flight was not great. First we were delayed in Buffalo for like a half hour. And then waitedin the plane in Buffalo waiting to depart for another kinda long period of time which hardly ever happens in B-lo. Then there was a lot of turbulence. I felt so much pressure in my head and ears which I don't usually get. Like my body just has to feel bad in some way, like i wasn't really sick to my stomach and didn't vomit (yeah me!) so instead I got really bad pressure in my head. I still couldn't hear for like 2 hours after i got off the plane and it was weird cuz I didn't realize and just thought everything in BOston was really silent at first. The pressure reminded me of when my family went to South Carolina and (e:paul) thought his eyeball was going to fall out because of the pressure and asked the stewardess for a cup of water to catch it in. It was hilarious. At the same time I was vomitting. The old lady next to me kept trying to get up whne she wasn't allowed and they asked my mom to try and keep an eye on her. Needless to say it was an interesting flight. That was the first time my family ever flew together somewhere.
Today we are going to supposedly one of the best burger places in America called Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage. It is supposed to be really good. Then off to some museum where they have glass flowers that look like real flowers. It sounds cool. Then maybe some shopping and lazying around. I can't wait to buy some clothes and stuff. THough where I will fit it, noone knows. My suitcase is packed to the max. Maybe I will have to buy another suitcase to carry stuffI buy home. WE'll see...ok i'll keep on updating maybe. HOpe the b-lo is good!

Plug your nose, close your mouth and try to blow out your nose. It will decompress your head.
twisted - 11/09/06 12:07
I lived in Boston for 20 years and never made it to see those damn glass flowers! I'm so jealous you're there. I really miss Boston/Cambridge -- except for the weather.

p.s. -- remember, no sales tax on clothing! woo hoo!
lilho - 11/09/06 11:35
i miss you lots and have gifts for you! come home :O(

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
its like rock-paper-scissors, style wins over terrorists; every time.
libertad - 11/08/06 00:26
hmmm maybe you should grab a copy of Vogue at the airport.

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!
jason - 11/01/06 08:30
"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!
