You know, me too.
I can't figure out the world - I spent the better part of a day ready to drop money to fly to chicago for a weekend, and all the flights were $400. Ouch.
So I'm at home, waiting for a call, watching "Blue Collar TV". I love that show.
Awesome, dood. Screw those shitty priced flights. We'll share beer over the phone lines, though it'll be later on Friday for me. I hope Jeff Foxworthy's still funny.
He is.
Anyway, nice weekend. Helps that it was three days long. What did I do?
1) Spent a good portion of the time learning to play Boston's "Peace of mind". Got the general chord progression and two solos down, need one more to make the song.
2) Went to Kohl's - a chain of clothing stores that is nicer than Sears but less than Macy's. I sometimes like Kohls. Maybe it is more like Mervin's when we were kids. Anyway, located the clearance rack while the wife was in the dressing room. On said rack, I located the following: Straw cowboy hat, no hat band. Texaco Baseball cap. Chevolet Baseball cap. Coors short sleeve t-shirt, worn. Total cost: $11.47. Three hats and a T-shirt, all making me look like a total redneck (which I am): priceless.
Also made a Bee-double-Eee-double-R-You-N (Say it out loud and then spell it, if you still need help, it is a Garth Brooks song, look it up)!*** Got a case of Harpoon IPA (a middle of the road, extremly drinkable 6%-alcohol content brewed in Boston IPA) and a half-case of Coors Light in cans (aka, Silver Bullets) for the...
NASCAR race next weekend. Picked up a cooler (aka, the coolest name for a cooler ever: the official Igloo Playmate) at Target for the race, because my old cooler only holds nine beers. My new cooler, which is *just* inside the size limits for taking into the stands, holds 30 cans(!!!!) of beer. The nicest thing about said cooler is it was $11.98 and included a $9.99 rebate. Sweet. $1.98. Score. The one extra beer or water I'd end up buying at the race would be $5.00. Score. For those of you that have never been to NASCAR, you're allowed one cooler into the race per person as long as there is no glass in there. Yes, you bring your own beer, water, gatorade, Jack Daniels in a plastic bottle, or if you're adventurous, Diet Coke, into the race. The disadvantage is you'll end up walking two miles with a cooler full of beer before and after the race (if you need an incentive to drink your beer, that is it). The advantage is you're carrying cold beer and everyone else is too. And there is room for 3 liters of water and a gallon of gatorade in the cooler with that 12-pack of Silver Bullets.
Went to see Knocked up. Highly entertaining, but close your eyes at the end of the movie. Never has one movie done so much to destroy my level of interest in sex. Good otherwise. Damn good date movie, actually.
