So the retail store downstairs started selling these Dream Waffles... which are basically shrink wrapped dessert waffles. I went to their website and their logo looked awfully familiar... then it hit me:
The best part though is the creepy packaging with the picture of P.J. SnackenWaffles - apparently their mascot or something - eating his children like he was a Saturn in a Goya painting or something.
Or maybe he's not eating little versions of himself. Maybe he used to be a normal boy, until he ate too many Dream Waffles and TURNED INTO ONE.
dum dum dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
Either way, I'm freaked out that they keep trying to get me to try them at the store.
"They're delicious. Try them. They're so good. Go ahead. Try one. Won't you try one?"

I met this nice woman in the airport on her to way to Kazakhstan. She was making conversation about the ridiculous lines so I chatted her up.
"Kazakhstan? Wow... so, like peace corps or what?"
"Nope. Oil."
"Oil? Really?"
"Yep. Oil."
"Cool, so what do you do?"
"I'm an engineer."
"Oh, like a mechanical engineer or chemi--"
"Chemical engineer."
"Cool."
I guess she lives on this little compound over there half the year, and then in San Fran the other half of the year. She kind of had this tick where she was perpetually clearing her throat.
She totally got put through the sniffer by security and then they searched her bags. I'm guessing it was because she was headed to Kazakhstan.
I saw half the Golden Gate, small sections of the Bay Bridge, and then the towers of the Golden Gate again in the plane... and the parts I didn't see were obscured by the ubiquitous fog. A beautiful young girl in a classic Mercedez paced my car to exchange glances and smiles as I was cutting through the city just before the Golden Gate. That was a nice welcome.
I had an amazing time at my brother's wedding. I promise to catch anyone interested up on the redwoods I saw and the wedding festivities in more detail when I have a chance. Napa was lovely. Good times were had by all.
My brother and new sister-in-law are off to Bora Bora for their honeymoon. Some people thought he was kidding, because who would take their new bride to Afghanistan. An understandable mistake.

As far as your sword or hat or full-on costume... I've found this online store and if you're in the Twin Cities I can suggest Twin Cities Magic & Costume Co. as well.
You should come in a damned eye patch at least or something. Come on.
If any of you jerks listed above are going to skip dressing up like a pirate and getting sauced on rum with me, then you better be going to the Zombie Pub Crawl this Saturday, instead.
