my brother was in town last weekend. he rolled in on thor's day and i we did some hanging out. it was great. we talked about a lot of useful stuff and even better was talking about all of the useless shit. i love my brother. he "gets" it. we didn't have the evil dysfunctional family, just the stock dysfunctions with very few upgrades. as a result, we're quirky. we have a lot of shorthand and the jokes almost don't need to be made out loud. a lot more can be said with the patented half-smile and shrug or lifting of eyebrows. he's a good guy, if a little lost. hopefully, he'll not take as long as i did to figure shit out. and good luck to him!
it was, if you might have heard in the hole, st. hulver's day last saturday and that means a celebration of the birth of the dude. we had a pretty full house. plenty of family (blood and extended) roaming around. we did see thebozes, which was hell sweet. they got brought the dude one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domo-kun and he loves it. i need to archive some things for his 14th birthday. little miss theboz is still cute as all get out. that girl is something else.
it was kind of surprising to see the goodly pile of folks and all of the dude's little friends. opening presents was a lot of work and when the cake showed up and everyone started singing, he just balled his eyes out and grabbed for mommy. for all he knew, we were going to celebrate his birthday with some sort of "feast on the baby" ritual. poor kid. but he ate half of his massive cake later that night. we have roughly 500 pictures of him covered in frosting and loaded up. i think that the dog got sick on the frosting, silly pup.
so the dude is one! long live the dude!
and tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of my first date with stacky. the 3rd of september we'll celebrate 2 years of being married. actually, all of the celebrating has been scheduled for tomorrow night. the dude is going to his grandparents for the night and we are hitting a nice little restaurant on our side of town that might actually require wearing pants. i think that speaks for itself. it will be nice to slow down and enjoy an evening. hell, we might be awake at 10 pm. you. Never. KNOW! we're wild like that. don't be too jealous.
for the record, if this latest weather thing fucks up the gulf and gets in the way of me riding my bike all over brazos bend, i'ma gonna be pissed. fucking weather. i need less of it. someone call me when it's fall. or winter. what? i'm in texas? fuck.
my job. wow. i don't talk about it.
with my brother here and all of the festivities, my projects have fallen behind. that always sucks ass. fortunately for me, i'm taking off friday and tuesday turning a 3-day weekend into a 5-day weekend. take that, bitches! i might be able to get a few things done. i have low expectations because a major focus of this time off will be napping. i just want a fucking nap. the end.
the (hopefully) impending drop in temperatures should increase our frequency of outdoor activities. camping here we come! there are lots of places i want to hit and we really need to plan a semi-serious adventure for the spring. we're weighing our options.
more to say, but i have to blow out of here by 3 my time.
