weekend recap
My weekend wasn't as disappointing as it was for these two guys, it was actually pretty good. I relished my first Saturday off from rugby in 10 weeks and it was nice to get many, many chores and small tasks done that had been ignored for so long. And I got a massage from the man with the hands. It was great but he didn't spend enough time on my tense neck. Don't think I'm tense?
I am going to kill that fucking leafblower guy outside my office window. He's been at it for two weeks. Really, can't we use a fucking rake? I'm going to shove that fucking leafblower up his ass so that he'll be able to blow out a bonfire from his mouth and his eyeballs are gonna pop right out of his skull. Then I'm going after the guy with the bug zapper in his backyard...
While I was zipping about downtown on my bike I decided to catch up on phone calls and have a DC Moment, parking my ass out in the park across the plaza from the White House. It really looks quite white on the outside, as most of the dirty scum is on the inside.
Last week my mother reminded me that I was conceived in Texas. This explains why I am lactose intolerant despite being raised in Wisconsin. She probably told me once before but of course I forgot. Thus the existence of this blog. My progenitors shagged at a military base in Fort Wolters, Texas, a training base for helicopters. It later became a starting place for Hmong immigrants after decommission. The nearest town was Mineral Wells, near the Pecos River. On the way to Dallas, eastward, you could pass the King Ranch, the biggest ranch in the state.
We had a nice gaming session on Saturday, using my new fabulous coffee table for the map and miniatures. Sadly, it does not compare to this masterpiece of geek engineering.
OK, OK I'll frikkin' get City of Villians already!!! Jeez! Everyone is talking about their new evil bases, and soon even the good guys will be able to build a base as well. But as Gurl pointed out the other day: "Dammit! Now I have to worry about paying virtual rent as well as the real thing!"
Not surprisingly, rent in Atlas Park is lower than rent in Washington, DC.

Mineral Wells is a bit misplaced in your account. It's a few miles west of Ft. Worth, but no where near the Pecos, in west Texas, or the King Ranch, which is south of Corpus Christi near the coast. Mineral Wells is more north central, However, it is a few more miles west to Possum Kindom Lake.
