Peek a boo

I'm in hiding.  If you can find me, you'll know why.  Okay, I won't make it that hard - just tag it.

Uber happy excited fantastical Monkey!

So we bought a jeep today and I had the plans to name it Hellboy as soon as I saw it and all the red...

and then....

Frank tells me I get a vanity plate for it.

I KNOW!!!

So...........

Guess what I get tomorrow morning??

First modification: license plate.  Pictures tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hellboy, the before pictures

We're turning my new toy (89 Jeep Islander) into a Hellboy!  I'm pretty excited about it.  Pictures to come soon!

Randomosity

It's been a while.  Don't have much time before sleep hits.  Seriously...

But... movies you should go see (that I've seen so far... and I'm sure there will be more to add by the time I do the real update thang):

Hancock
Hulk
Iron Man
Sydney White

Uhm... yeah.  Reason for not updating?  Work.  Lots and lots of work.  Cool new phone and hopes to blog from it one day.  I might get more than one post a month with it...

HA!!!

*shakes head* Love you guys, peace n junk.

Summer madness (and not the song...)

Just saw the trailer for Hellboy 2.  Now, I knew this was coming out... but.. I never imagined... *sigh*

I'm really at a loss for words.  It looks spectacular.  Like as in "woah I just came a little and I hope no one noticed."  I love Ron Perlman.  I'll watch anything with him in it.  Period.  Just like Christopher Walken and Jason Statham.  Yeah, I know.  I can be lame.  But I have my favorites.  Anyways.  This summer is going to rock.  If only for this movie alone.

Oh yeah, and on the home front... the kittens are gone and we moved.  It's a long story and one I'll probably not share here.  What I will say is that we are looking to the future and what's best for all.  Spook is once again King of teh Castle and makes sure everyone knows it.  Since the place is carpeted, every one has a chance to see his no-no's any time they look down.  In other words, he spends most of the day on his back with all four legs in the air... or, barring people walking around, he pwns any and all furniture, accessible or not.  Also... my hair is long.  I haven't cut it since my last birthday.  I can almost get it into pigtails without any clips... almost.  It's the dang top layer in the front that just doesn't quite make it.  I wouldn't mind so much, except it's just long enough for the ends to bend in and tickle my ears.  Yay clips.

Our biggest brunch yet.  Started on a down note when the beast wouldn't start due to a dead battery.  But, quickly went into high notes when Mom brought out the dog treats.  Fluxx was played after the table was cleared and fun was had by all.

Fail.

Apparently some people need friends more than others and yet, some are the exact opposite.  So do not go onto a personals site, message someone looking for friends only and then get upset when that person gets upset because you want to spout off erotica instead of, uh, I don't know, being a friend.

That'll teach me.

And no, I was not the one spouting off erotica.

Neither was he, but he wanted to.

I wanted to talk about movies and puppy dogs.

Who was teh fail?

Tea geeking

Not to be confused with teh geeking.  Totally different.

The latest teas I've been drinking and loving daily are as follows:

Morning brew:
    1/8 tsp berry rooibos
    1/8 tsp vanilla rooibos
    3/4 tsp orange rooibos
          for variety, can substitute blood orange herbal tea for berry rooibos
          or substitute earl grey rooibos for vanilla rooibos

Afternoon iced tea:
    full serving (1 tsp) Yunnan Jig or whichever plain black tea you prefer
    pinch of peppermint
    pinch of lemongrass

Sunday Brunch, part duex

We're not quite sure whether to count last Sunday as the first official brunch or not, but considering I told everyone it was (even if only one person showed up), it's the official start date.

So today was the second installment and we had three, three peoples hah hah hah, show up.  The menu consisted of quiche (with ham, roasted red peppers and onion) and waffles.  Condiments for the waffles included strawberries, maple syrup and chocolate whipped cream (real whipped cream too... not that faked can or tub crap).

After taste bud merriment ceased, we broke out the Fluxx.  Oh... yeah...

Memories

I miss word associations.

My friends and I would pass around a sheet of paper pretty much all day long (usually ending up with more than one sheet) doing one big word association.  It usually got dirty pretty quickly.  Usually the time it took to get to me.

Want to start a word association with me?

I'll even start:
