$5 on the over
Yes, it's been a while. Doug was right in his betting. Summary time!
Good things happened in the last two months. I knelt before my altar of consumerism and extracted therefrom some discs to make the all-too-near winter more comfortable. I got the second season of the Muppet show, a copy of Krrish, and Katamari Damacy.
Probably more importantly than just the discs is the new medium of play. I finally gave in to the compulsion I've had since, probably, 2002ish and got myself a giant TV. It's a 46" LCD 1080p monstrosity from Polaroid that has already gone down in price by $50 in the couple of weeks since it's been in the TV loft. The good part is that the picture is beautiful, it has all the inputs I need for cable, DVD, computer, and gaming systems. The bad part is that it's probably going to explode at any moment. Eh, such are the chances you take buying the off-brand. I've had good luck in the past, so I'm not feeling any real trepidation (he said as he knocked wood).
More good: I've been hanging out with the esteemed Dr. Kim more and more. We hit up the Stone Lion Inn murder mystery extravaganza and found ourselves well entertained. It's a really big and pretty house, very well kept, and the evening's entertainment was welcome. Good times were had by all.
Less good was the chunk of September that I spent sick. Across this great land of ours spread a plague of coughing and hacking and wheezing and aching that could not be stopped but for the power of one magical beverage. Behold! The Tussin Cocktail!
- 2 shots Maximum Strength CVS Tussin
- 2 cups PCFOJ
- 2 shots Tanquerey Gin
- 1 tablespoon Grenadine
Pour the tussin in a glass, fill with the orange juice and gin, then stir. Add the grenadine on top. The whole result looks like a fruity drink that Dave Foley would order during the "coconut monkey's head" sketch. The acidity of the orange juice helps clear some of the phlegm and the gin and tussin calm the cough reflex while also making you stop caring about coughing in the first place. It's an overall win.
You're fear in the face of strength I guess spinning 'round till dizzy better suits you.

PS, flu shots starting soon. If anybody wants it, I'll call you during generals after the vans of old people are done and it's slow (sans elderly rush waiting time, the whole process takes under a minute). That's my "going the extra mile" for service here at the health department. I'm working the one in Norman on November 1st. There's also one in Moore on October 25th but I'm not working at that one for reasons that are unknown to me.
we had a lot of fun at oktoberfest with you and "dr. kim." i will always think of her as "kim from up the street" but that wouldn't make sense to any of you.
anyone know any good plumbers?

this is my favorite time of year. i love halloween, thanksgiving (my absolute favorite holliday) is just around the corner, there is a festival which requires either drinking beer, dressing up, or just going to a fair (another of my favs) every week, i get to put on fall/winter clothes which have always looked better on me, and right now is smack dab in the middle of the holiest of the three seasons in "our" religion.
speaking of halloween, anyone wanna go see rocky horror picture show on wednesday at 10pm? the sooner theater is putting on the show for halloween and tickets are only $8. they also have these prop bags for $5. i'm not sure whats inside them, but i would bet that it would be worth the 5 bucks to find out. yukiko and i are gonna go, so give me a call today or tomorrow and i will make reservations for tickets. the lady told me there will be a big turnout so we probably won't be able to get in if we don't get tickets in advance.

BUT! I get Statehood Day off (16th) and five days for Thanksgiving off. We should definitely do something then. Maybe watch Nightmare Before Christmas - or even hold a "Movies I Should Have Seen By Now, But Haven't" Film Festival.
