Well, in about a months time, people will have forgotten what rain looks like in this part of the world. They may see some of your rainy pictures in a fairy tale book (together with unicorns and the tooth fairy).

 

Not doing much this weekend. Had to standby on the phone all Saturday, from 04:30 in the morning and onwards. Never got a call though. Today, Sunday, I am just procrastinating. I should cut some of the stuff in my garden now that the weeds have been brought under control. Meh, one thing at a time.

I made a small snowman tonight. Our neighbours go down to Florida every winter to avoid the snow and they looked like they were getting all packed up to leave tomorrow morning. Went down to the hockey arena and grabbed a couple bucketfuls of snow and brought it back. Made a little snowman on our driveway and carried it over and set it down on their front porch so that they will see it first thing in the morning. Hopefully it makes in through the night intact. It has a carrot nose that I'm hoping won't disappear. Thankfully it's dropped below zero so it shouldn't melt too much.

instead it will be a chunk of ice that will destroy your neighbors deck and possibly break a hip on someone... the carrot will no longer be eatible!

 

 

in other news I appear to have made a funny in the zero punctuation thread.

 

I didn't know I was humorous (oh self esteem... is this what it feels like?)

 

 

And I managed to get through a night of trickertreaters as the door man. only about 100 kids dropped by but we had three and a half extra bags of suckers so I've been trying to make those things disspapear... into the night!

You're probably right about it being a chunk of ice. I haven't gone over to check it out yet today, but it's now sitting in the middle of their lawn. From what I heard, they seemed to have a good laugh about it before the left this morning.

[Guard Dog]

I had dinner with a lady I just met last week yesterday. First date I've been on in ages. She dosn't like dogs. I don't think we would get along.

[Guest The Architect]

No, no you wouldn't. It wouldn't be easy dating someone who doesn't like themselves.

[Musopticon?]

Did my first teaching(in an academic subject) for two classes aged 15-17, on Religious reformation in the 16th century and on Second World War post-Barbarossa.

 

That was...difficult and different. They are certainly a handful, but much less than say, teaching young fire fighters about knots and first aid. And I've done that, a lot.

 

I should do a quick transparency on Absolutism and perhaps on Louis XIV and Baroque, but I'll leave that for next morning.

 

 

Bloody hell, I could become a teacher. I actually have it in me.

Had an awesome evening last night.

 

Ordered pizza. Talked the wife into a quick romp in the 40 or so minutes before the pizza arrived. The delivery got there immediately after that was concluded to the great satisfaction of all involved (I was just washing my hands when I heard the knock at the door). Then we ate pizza and drank beer. And after that, we watched a football game on TV (and the team I preferred won!).

 

Call me a stereotypical American heterosexual male if you must, but the beer/pizza/sex/football combo is pretty much the gold standard, at least on a weekday when there isn't time to do any serious home cooking*.

 

 

* (This may or may not be a euphemism.)

[Theseus]

So far I woke up at 6:40 and walked directly across the street and voted. Next up im going to see W. the movie with a friend, go golf a few holes and then go to a bar and yell at a tv for a couple hours. Yarr!

You know, other than football(we watch anime and movies and of course the elections now), that's pretty much the format that never gets stale.

 

I mean, no complaints from either of us.

Voting = points.

[taks]

i voted. my experience is detailed in the elections thread.

[Kor Qel Droma]

I raked leaves for the missus.

[Killian Kalthorne]

I voted.

[Guard Dog]

I voted. Tonight I'll go home and watch the election returns. If Obama wins I'm going online and buying a shortwave radio, two sets of rechargable batteries, canned goods and bottled water and a thousand rounds of ammo for each of my firearms. Oh and five hundred pounds of dog food and two cases of Milk Bones.

 

I kid of course....

 

 

I'll probably just play NWN2 (still trying to get throught the first time) and get well and truly drunk and try to forget that the majority of my countrymen might be out there making a serious mistake.

[Trenitay]

How is it a mistake. Obama is much better than McCain.

[Hurlshort]

McCain and Obama are remarkably similar in their policies. I'm not sure if you will really know the difference. My vote is based on the VP candidates this year.

 

The insurance company of the lady who hit my car finally accepted full liability. It's been two months of headaches.

[Guard Dog]

I strongly disagree. And I disagree with Hurlshot, there are stark differences between the two. Obama by himself is not so bad. Obama with a liberal/socialist supermajority in congress and four years of unfettered power.... terrifying.

liberal/socialist

Politics are incredibly differnent in the US it seems. In my political environment, this combination would seem like a contradiction (except if "liberal" means socially liberal, and even then it wouldn't really fit).

 

I have some incredibly productive days behind me now, and still two of them to go. I certainly hope I'm not totally burnt out by then...

You are absolutely correct Samm. And kudos for pointing it out. In US politics the word "liberal" has taken on a meaning that is polar opposite it's textbook definition.

[samm]

I see. That's interesting, and thanks for pointing it out! How come? I'll have to be careful with the word 'liberal' then when talking with US Americans about politcs (which does happen every now and then, my girlfriend's father coming from California).
