Hey Matt & Terry & Mike,

remember the time we drove all the way to Rochester (I guess it's really not that far) for some "Clue" night at a bar.......

and it was way not what we expected.....
the bar was nearly empty,
the game was complicated,
and the drinks were super-pricey
?

I think that was the last time I was there........

Went to church with my parents today......
I was looking around for familiar faces (same place I went to grammar school)
I checked face after face.......
Then realized all the faces I was checking were about six years younger than me.......
What?!.....you mean I'm not in highschool anymore.....not even in college either......
I spotted a girl I went to school with, she was there with her husband and little girl..........
She was a year younger than me........
I am old.
This will be me in a few very short yearss, er' months.......
Very "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"



Ohh well....... Merry Christmas (E:strippers), Happy belated Channakuh!!!

Hope yours is one to remember!

Every once in a while I will have a crazy, really long involved dream.
Two nights ago I dreamt that Johnny Depp was tracing his family's geneology (or some such thing) and he found out he was related to my parents....... He decided to live with them for a while so he could get back to his roots (you know absorb all the culture Kenmore has to offer..........although now that the kiosk by the municipal building s gone how could he ever know what is going on.......I don't even know what holiday to celebrate..........)
So of course I decide to move back in with my parents too (so as to absorb all of the culture Johnny Depp has to offer.....if you catch my drift............Sexxxxy)
.....What's sad is that even in my very own dream, where anything can happen...like Johhny Depp moving in with your parents, he still shunned all of my advances.....bastard.............. so the nature of our familial relation is never made clear.......
Johnny Depp could be my freakin' twin brother and I'd still be down.....
Anyways........gradually word gets out that my folks have a special visitor and my extended family starts dropping by unannounced....... Uncle Fannypack, the Home-schoolers, they all show up......
Whatever, even with my family around I still keep up my advances.........Then, his wife and daughter (they have a daughter right?) show up..........
I resign myself to the fact that it's just not gonna happen and try to act cool around his family........
The dream actually went on for quite a whil after that, but it was basically me making sure that all our houseguests had something to drink and a sleeping bag to sleep in........cause no one's going anywhere when Johnny Depp is in the house.



ooooooooooohhhhhhhh yeaaaaaah!

The movie had its moments........

but,

I get abnormal strength what with adrenaline and all but Why do "Zombies" (who really are normal people with a virus) develop the ability to climb walls?..........

And.......... real people in makeup are a thousand times scarier than any computer-generated creature.............

And........how are they all still wearing clothes?

And....................... Why is Will Smith so freakin' dreamy?

Consider this while I attempt night two of the Tree Skirt.

I am making a tree skirt.

To make a pattern I measured the diameter (which is not the same as the radius) of the area under the tree , then the diameter of the hole for the stump.

I looked up the formula for circumference ( which is not spelled circumferance), and figured out the circumference for each circle.

Then I divided each number by eight (I will have eight slices on my skirt).

Now I have to create the actual pattern for a single slice........ I do not have a compass.......

My brain is worn out........
