Halloween Junk Caldron -- Boo!

Blzrs_tiny by Y5k on

(knock knock)

SAS: Trick or Treat?!

TB: What? What are you old men doing here? Halloween is for children, not the elderly.

SAS: But we want our road win.

TB: Not a chance. Get outta my house.

So much for my radio drama skills.

I was considering taking the train up to the Edgar Alan Poe House in Bronx after work, but I forgot my camera, and it seems like a trip I might like to have a photo of. Did you know that he lived much of his life in NY? I thought he was from Baltimore, but infact that was just the man's deathplace.

 

Tell me what costumes you are wearing!!! (sounds like a dirty phone call)

(mine, I think, will be a full-length white jumpsuite with blue stripes, a while construction worker helmet w/ my name on the front, and blue face paint. I'm gonna take my guitar into teh subway and make some money! ... if it ain't too cold.)

So are we now going to getting into a discussion

on beavers and camel toes?

Speaking of camels, is there a school out there with a camel as a mascot?

Halloween Party with the kids.

They are super pumped about it and have been talking about it for weeks. They’re only young once. So our Blazer boys are going to have to do this one without me.

Go Blazers!

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

300 Level- Don't know where though

I had a ticket by myself and then last minute was able to get a seat with the crew that’s going…including TiH among others. So it will be lots of fun! And it worked out for my friend who was wanting to go to the game because he bought my ticket from me. Win-win situation.

It seems crazy at first

but after the first 3 months or so it just becomes like normal life. Of course it is a really bizzar normal life with things that you just aren’t used to encountering, but that becomes a normal part of life too. How long?

I know what you mean

I moved to the Caribbean twice in the last decade: Seattle, NE Portland, Caribbean, Seattle, NE Portland, Caribbean. Always an adventure.
I would be in Hong Kong for 2 or 3 years, if it goes through.
How long you been in Japan? And where in Japan?
Even been to Hong Kong?

Nah, that place is way too crowded

I’ve been here for 1 and 1/2 years. I lived in Sendai, now Nagano, and either back to Sendai in April or Hokkaido. I’ve got another 1 and 1/2 to almost 2 years here (either April or July of 2010). Honestly, if the Blazers are a top contender next season, I might have to take a hit and get out early so I can be there for it.

Interesting fact, Sendai comes up clean, but Nagano has a red line under it on my windows spell checker. Nagano actually had an Olympics held here and you would think be more recognized. Maybe it’s all of the pull that Sendai has on Bill gates.

I was just watching soccer

and every time someone comes close to those guys, they fall down and act like they’re hurt… for 5 seconds minimum. Automatically. Then, I switched to kickboxing, and they take some fierce blows and just get over it without trying to look hurt. Seriously, they can’t be built that differently built. Is it any wonder why that sport hasn’t caught on in America? Of course, there is the bit about not being able to use your hands. That is the part of the body that allows you to manipulate the outside world the most effectively. I always liken soccer to this; If people had the ability to fly, and had a game that would be completely land based, that would be the equivalent to what soccer is now. My question is, if we were able to fly, what kind of sports would we play?
