Cajun makes pilgrimage to famed Saliva Pit
It was a fun and busy weekend hosting the lovely BrettCajun with TJ over the weekend. Brett wanted to see some rockets and capsules, so I took him to the National Mall and the Air and Space Museum. I liked all the WWII planes and Cold War missile exhibits. On Saturday we hauled him out to all the hotspots, including Nellie's, and then later to Blowoff for a dip into the Saliva Pit. But with all that socializin' and some rugby on Saturday, I'm tuckered out.
I also devoured an excellent book referred by a friend: World War Z - An Oral History of the Zombie War, by Max Brooks. It's a series of testimonials by the survivors of a fictional worldwide zombie infestation, from outbreak to global offensive against the walking dead. I liked it not only for its post-apocalyptic vision, but also because it wasn't really a story about zombies, it was about people. From the initial outbreak, disasters and tragedies due to human error, to testaments to the human spirit by the end. Not really the happiest ending, but an interesting one. You can calculate your survival risk in the event of a zombie infestation on the book's website.
On Friday we went out to Duplex for some homo cookin', and I had a nice chat with a bulldog:
Later that evening we went to Cobalt for two floors of Beariness, and then to JRs for balance amongst twinkage.
Gurl and Co. came out to watch our last home match of the season, and the weather cooperated. We won both matches and I got to get some time in as scrumhalf:
One more match before the big gay rugby tournament in Dublin, which will be lots of fun.

On that zombie quiz, I had a 37% chance of survival. On this one (http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/zombie), my chances are 71%. It'd be interesting to compare how they weight different factors.
I had a good time at Blowoff.
But you should head over to my blog. *nods* I left you a present.
And Word War Z is awesome, of course I have a thing for Zombies. If you get the chance you should pick up the Zombie Survival Guide by the same author. It's more humerous then anything else. But it has quintessential skills that will save your life when the walking dead come after you.
And time to get ready for work . .ugh.
Sorry I keep missing your games man. I will definately make more of an effort to see you sometime next season. Glad to see you won though, even without my support. Imagine how much better you guys would do if I were actually in attendance.
Also, good to see you out at Nellie's (very briefly) over the weekend. That was my first time on the patio and its pretty kick ass - if they had a better selection of beers on draft, I'd probably never leave.
It was so wonderful to meet you and TJ this past weekend. You fellas are a pretty huggable bunch of bear love. I basked in your auras all weekend. While I was in our nation's capital for the very first time, I found myself often vacationing in Jimboland and TJdom. Thanks for the tour and ride in both of your worlds. ;)

How much IS that doggie in the window??
Oh, and best luck in Ireland! Have fun and bring back tons of stories.
Good luck in Dublin, Jimbo! We won't be going to Bingham this year, but we've certainly done our share to help raise funds and will be cheering the Convicts on as they try and retain their title.
