Had a great weekend in Houston. Went to Texas Cattle Company with the roommate. Forgot the name last time I mentioned it. May I recommend the jalapeno pork chops. Went to Number’s with The Bease-Off™ and roommate. Saw some old friends including Cool Gui, his wife Corrie, CECE™ and ROXIE™. I hadn’t seen CECE and ROXIE for at least five years. CECE slimmed up. ROXIE didn’t. CECE was still tall. ROXIE still wasn’t. CECE was prettier than before. ROXIE… had a new cellphone. Ahem. I think you get what I’m sayin’. We also met an Angelina Jolie lookalike named Olivia. We also met her boyfriend. Pfft. We chatted it up. We exchanged cards with The Boyfriend™. They insisted we go out to dinner with them sometime. I’m like, ”Sure, I’ll go out and stare at your girlfriend and plot your overthrow for dinner. Where do I sign up?”
Saturday came and I had a flurry of errands including driving the DeLorean out to Hockley Texas for the monthly Kickapoo Run™. I also made sure the Corvette conversion was still in the next storage stall. There’s a lot of room in there. I wonder if they make a shelf thingy I could put over the car so I could use the extra storage space. I suppose I could build one. I felt my Home Depot Adrenal Glands suddenly kicking in. I went to Best Buy and bought some hardware to appease the aforementioned glands. My new 1 GB compact flash card will now insure I can take 6 megapixel photos until the cows come home. When questioned regarding the new Super Genius compact flash card purchase, the cows had no comment.
I drove to Galveston on Sunday to buy up some Mardi Gras beads. I got pulled over in Freakin’ Friendswood for doing 86 in a 65. That’s not a felony, believe it or not. I’ve already applied to take defensive driving and anty up $91 for the honor. The courthouse secretary was nice, however. I hope she buys a nice household accessory with her share of the 91 bucks. I now have a mountain of beads that I will somehow transport to New Orleans in a few weeks. Why am I going? I’m… uhhh… inspecting churches. Yeah. Oh, and for the food. And the… uhhh… Oh, forget it! You know.
Returned to Philly after waiting an extra long time on the runway in Houston. They made up for it by showing ”Master and Commander” on the flight. I really enjoyed the action and adventure. The special effects in the battle sequences really did raise the tension level. I recommend the movie if you don’t mind the fact that this is an all male ensemble piece. There is a woman for a brief moment, but she just looks up from a smaller ship and winks at Russell Crowe. He smiles, assured that he’s not ugly, and walks off. The same thing happened to me at Number’s on Friday. She smiled, winked, blew a kiss, then walked away. I would have followed her but she had a long piece of dirty toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her shoe and it totally grossed me out. Next!
