Lazy Wednesday afternoon

It's just a lazy Wednesday afternoon at work right now. We haven't been busy except for people asking about Thanksgiving travel, and then choking on the price that they've been given because of holiday travel.

Sorry T. about the breakup, but it's a good thing that you did it. If she didn't "get" you, then it's best to cut both your losses and get out. Not having met the girl, I can only form my opinions from what you're saying, but if she's getting drunk and believing the worst in you, well, maybe she's not ready. She should know who you are and trust in you, and not believe the worst of you, which really can't be all that bad because, hell, you're the Llama. Now T (the gf) should be worried about me, because sometimes I am that bad. *laughs*

Not much of an eventful last couple of days. Me and T (the gf) went to Voodoofest in New Orleans curtosy of the job. We had a blast. Also saw a documentary on a friend of mine and his attempt to create an arts "scene" here in Baton Rouge and sort of got a bit melancholy. Just remembering some of the more eventful moments I've had with some friends at the Moon.

Clear skies to you all.

Halloween

It's amazing to think about the evolution of certain things like holidays. All Hallow's Eve was a time when the veil between our world and the other side was weakened, when ghosts and goblins and ghouls and witches had to be placated to prevent nasty things from happening. A close relative to our Halloween would be the Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), which happens on the 2nd of November. Whereas ours is rather morbid, the Day of the Dead is a festive time, celebrating the lives of those that have died, and the continuation of life as embodied by the children. In the US, Halloween has been subverted by three main forces; the Catholic Churches organization of All Saint's Day, the many fundamentalist churches attempts to outright ban the most pagan of holidays (Christmas is a pagan holiday too !), and by the ho-ization of the holiday by the rest of the population. But I do have to say, I do like the third force.

And my announcement that the hibernation of the boobies is a bit premature. I saw some excellent specimans (Boobicus Giganticus even!) last night at the Halloween party I went to last night. Ah yes, the hardy ones are still going strong, and that gives me hope!

and yes, my girl T. does know I'm writing about boobies on my blog. She hit me and just accepted it as part of who I am, a dirty youngish boy-man-child.

Sad boy today

I'm walking to work today and suddenly I got very sad. The season has turned cooler and the boobies have gone into hibernation. Guess I'll just have to wait until spring to see the many varieties of boobies again. *sighs*

A dawg, a dawg

Ok, seems like everybody wants to know about the dog.

It's a fox terrier, cute little bugger, black and white with spots. He's a real sweet dog, though I am loathe to say it because I've always wanted a DOG, not a dog. Irish wolfhound, Bernese mountain dog, great dane, not a freakin' terrier. But alas, I've been won over by his charm and somewhat grace. His name is Max, short for Maximus Radioactive (full name).

Toni, my girl for you first time readers, found him in the parking lot of the radiation lab that she works in. Max, like Toni, does tend to glow in the dark at times. We've had him since the 18th of October, and he's only about 12 weeks old, not quite sure because we have no birth date on him. He's already had his shots, took him to the vet on Saturday, so if he does bite Ron, we won't have to worry about Ron getting rabies. At least, not from Max. And if Ron does bite Max, then we won't have to worry about Max getting rabies. *scratches his head* hmmm, that's about all I can think about, but I will be uploading picts soon of Max as soon as I get off my lazy bum.

A beginning?

Well, this is somewhat of a beginning. I really have nothing to blog about, except my job, my life, my girl, my family, my gaming habit, and my new dog. So if ya'll have anything that you want me to blog about, tell me and if I'm not too lazy, I'll write about it.

Thanks

The Management

ps the only reason I got this was so I could post comments on the Hedgehog's blog.
