Stuff you may not realize about me :)
by Denise Sawicki on October 19, 2010
I don't know if people realize this, but I do talk, and I do have a sense of humor of a sort... it's just that it's only with Darrell and Darrin that these things come out! It seems my frame of reference for the world is quite a bit different than most people's. I think the live goo game illustrates this rather nicely. Not once but twice, the first "celebrity" to jump to my mind was Bruce Boxleitner.. someone most people probably have not heard of. This was for the Tron question (because I could not remember the name Jeff Bridges) and the Scarecrow question. In the Irish section of the goo game, the top Irishmen I could think of were Dylan Moran and Aidan Gillen.... granted I probably could not come up with even these names on the spot. The Irish accent is so cute though. That's my new favorite accent. I think also in the Irish section someone mentioned something about the size of Bono's house?? This would have been a prime opportunity for me to say, "He has the world's largest collection of hatchbacks" but I did not, because nobody would know wtf I was on about. :P Anyway... the trip was kind of an experiment in whether or not the Prozac can induce me to act like a regular human being. The answer being... not really. But because of the Prozac I will just skip blithely on not caring what a weirdo I am.
edited to remove someone who is not even irish hehe

You're definitely different than most of the knuckleheads I hang out with but weirdo is a bit much. And you ate the alligator! How cool was that? Just as well you didn't try the conch fritters as they were a bit fishy.

The alligator was fine. I guess it is something to do just so you can say you did :). I am sure the conch fritters wouldn't have killed me or anything but I figured I should let someone have them who really had a craving for them. I maybe should have ordered grouper with you guys. According to my research, it is a fish that people who don't like fish, like. But my popcorn shrimp were delicious and I can't seem to resist being a *little* bit economical, if I can get a giant pile of popcorn shrimp for the same price as 6 large shrimp then why not? haha

Denise, you mentioned feeling a cold coming on when you left. Did that happen? Mine set in last night, and I've been asleep for most of the last 30 hours. I'm still nursing a fever.

Well it was pretty nasty on the plane when I left and my ears were plugged up the rest of the day (and I slept a lot) but it has been a lot better since. Still a mildly stuffy nose and my hearing is a bit weird. Perhaps this is too much information ;)

I myself am tip top. Should I feel bad about that? But I didn't go in the pool. The plot thickens.

False Hope
So the guys' band had a show on Saturday and it went really well. A bunch of people came up to say they did a good job, and the headlining band (another local act) really liked the music and wants to do other shows together. And they even got paid! Go »D&D update
The guys made it to 4th level and then we added 2 new characters. We had a dragonborn warlord and an elf ranger, at 4th level we added an eladrin wizard and a dwarf fighter. Darrell is playing the fighter and warlord, Darrin has the ranger (though he's not exactly into the game so we're lucky if we're able to call him to the table to actually make his dice rolls) and I got the wizard even though I'm DM :-P. Go »More weather and anime
So the flood is on its way out, but not without bringing a little excitement. It was time yesterday to go 50 miles to the farm for Darrell's grandma's 90th birthday. Foolishly, I chose our usual route instead of the alternate route that was high and dry 2 years ago when the water was 2 feet higher. Go »Thundersnow
We had a nice thunder snowstorm on Tuesday evening. It was kind of surreal actually. I don't remember experiencing such odd weather before. Go »Our dog is smart
Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »
