I Know What I Want For My Birthday

I'm not a real big fan of my birthday mostly because I'm a big baby and don't want to get old. But also because it bugs me that somehow it's up to the person whose birthday it is to decide what to do to celebrate it. My position is that friends or family should take on the coordinating duties so as to relieve the celebratee of the burden of making a decision. Doesn't everyone hate making decisions as much as I do?

Most years, someone will call and ask what I'm doing for my birthday and I would scramble to come up with something that sounded fun although, inevitably, I'd be in a sorry frame of mind to make such plans due to my "woe is me, I'm old" moaning. This year is different, I'm happy to report. Not only is JoySoy Habanero taking me, my Mom and Super Sue to a Cardinals game AND making sure I don't have to drive in an inebriated state Sunday night, but I also have a fantastic idea of what my family should do for me: have a pie fight.

Anyone that grew up watching and appreciating the Three Stooges ought to know exactly where I'm coming from. How could anyone watch those timeless pie fights and NOT want to participate in one themselves? I know I always have and yet, the opportunity has not presented itself to me no matter how much I've tried to position myself to be in the right place at the right time. For instance, why else would I go to the Ladies Auxilliary Bake-Off? Or the time I went with Lard Ass to the Great Pie-Eating Contest?

So, that's what I want for my birthday - a genuine pie fight. I'm thinking whipped cream pies should be fairly easy to assemble and fairly easy to take on the kisser. Anyone want to volunteer their house? I'm thinking if we each have a dozen rounds of ammo (punny!) that will be plenty of pie-in-face action for one birthday.

K - Why don't you try it and find out? But you have to promise not to be mad when I scrape the pie off my face and chase you down the street with it, all while screaming "Whore!" at the top of my lungs. Just like the stooges would do, ha!

A - I'm sure we'll be doing something downtown after the game, I'll keep you posted. No other weekend plans save for the game on Sunday - I think my family all has previous engagements as I haven't heard from any of them about it. Cawl me!

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

Should Be Working...

...but I'm not. It's ten-to-six and I still have two things I absolutely must get done before I can leave this god-forsaken computer alone for the 14 hours in between work days. So naturally, I'm here instead. I've developed some twitches lately. I've heard these come up as a result of stress and it's not like I haven't ever experienced a twitch, but never these body parts. Who's ever heard of a twitch in your ear lobe? Not really. My index finger on my right hand, my quad muscle on my left leg, my eye and my upper lip have taken turns twitching for extended periods over the last couple of weeks. They're minor irritations of course, but the index finger twitch is seriously affecting my typing and enjoyment of sitting at the keyboard for hours on end. I'll be sitting there with my fingers resting on the keys and out of nowhere, there's three J's out there on the screen from Sir Index Finger jumping up and down of its own accord. What's
