…at 7a on a Sunday morning.

You Are Destined to Rule the World

You have the makings of a very evil dictator… Which is both kind of cool and kind of scary! Will you rule the world? Maybe. Maybe not. But at least you know that you could.

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You’re not going to mow over everyone to get ahead… But you’re also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it’s an ugly place. You just don’t get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

You Are 4% Republican

If you have anything in common with the Republican party, it’s by sheer chance. You’re a staunch liberal, and nothing is going to change that!

You Are 84% Democrat

You are a card carrying Democrat, and a pretty far left one at that! There’s no chance anyone would ever mistake you for a Republican.

Wow… somehow a three day weekend just disappeared and it’s already Wednesday! Let’s see… if it’ll all come back to me:

Friday: Insanity + relaxation. Fairly dead day at work due to the long weekend followed by a very very nice evening with Brad & Matt. Coffee @ Helios, dinner @ Rockford, pool/drinks/show/dancing afterwards. Funfun.

Saturday: Recovery. The realization that too much alcohol was consumed!! Well… for Brad & Matt. I held my own and didn’t do anything stupid. At least I don’t think I did - pictures haven’t surfaced. Yet. Post-recovery = Shrek 3 and dinner! the movie was just “ok”. Cute. Made me giggle. But… not in that sexy Las Vegas kinda way. So - 3 1/2 out of 5 for me.

Sunday: Cleaning! O-mg. We cleaned everything. The house, the clothes, the balcony & porch, the furniture, the kitchen. Good lord. Then… Matt joined us for dinner & a movie! We re-watched Pan’s Labyrinth (first time for Matt). Love love love that movie. One of Guillermo del Toro’s best.

Monday: Sleep. Sleep. BBQ. It was that kinda day!

whew… somewhere in there I had a lot of fun & did some shopping! With that - holy damn it’s already Wednesday! Oh wait - we covered that already. Anyway. I’m off to break and/or fix something at the office. Wish me luck

And I don’t mean us… whether you asked for it or not, that’s what you got if you saw Legends at Memorial Auditorium this weekend. Our season tickets to Broadway Series South included seats to the show Legends featuring Joan Collins and Linda Evans. Good lord. The best part of the show was the maid who (for our showing) was played by an understudy. How sad was that?! Five minutes into the show it was amazingly clear that their acting and personalities were that of self absorbed bitches and that they were ‘owed’ applause from the audience. Wow. I really don’t mean this to sound bitter myself - but - they were *really* bad. Ticket value for this show = $120. We left at intermission. As did ~ 30% of the audience. :: sad panda :: What’s really sad is that this theater was deserted from the start… a sign? Me thinks yes. Please oh please someone remove this show from future tours.

Anyway… THAT did not stop us from having a great weekend! We made our way onto the club after our intermission exodus for a few rounds of shooting pool with Matt and Mitchel and had a *great* time! After sucking major donkey… well… we were just bad at pool - we ventured onto the club side and enjoyed some drinking, dancing, and frivolity! The club crowd was a little older this weekend and the music just average. Eh. It’s the first weekend of the month. More fun to come later - I hear a guest DJ is comin’ on Memorial Day weekend!
All that weekend ‘fun’ aside - I’ve *completely* forgotten to spread the word that we’re back in travel mode! Woo! In two weeks we take a nice little weekend trip to DC to do some touristy stuff, as I’ve never been. And… In September we go on another cruise! Hot damn! The excitement just cannot be measured - I’m going to turn, well, older (lol) in the Caribbean. We chose a nice balcony room on the Carnival Triumph - Take a peek:

:: Sigh :: Is it September, yet?

Ahhh…   back home.   After a 3hr drive up there - 4 1/2 hrs in the park - rides enjoyed - 444 pictures taken - 3hr drive back…   we’re home.   Exhausted, tired, and satisfied.     An amazingly huge kudos goes out to my latest toy!   Never before have I been able to get action shots (roller coaster ones specifically) like the ones from today.   They’re uploading now - you should absolutely check out the photo’s section and take a peek.   More details to follow, however, one sneak peek… my fav ride was The Italian Job.   Very nice.

With that - I’m going to crash for a bit and then we’ll prob end up running through the shower and get a bit cleaned up.   I think tonight we’re going to check out a brand new club on Glenwood South - Illusions (formerly Aura).   If anyone reads this soon-ish then absolutely give us a buzz and join.

Lordy…   is it Really pre-6:30a?!   Ugh.   Anyway.   Today is Kings Dominion day ’round this household.   Brad’s still getting ready (surprised? no…) so I thought I’d take a moment and spread the word that I finally get to play with my new toy at the park!   Pfffttt…   I’ve waited at LEAST four days to use this thing in the ‘real world’ - far too long.   Be ready for a bazillion pictures from KD.  
With any luck the hardest part of the day will be the 3ish hours to drive to/from there.   I’m so happy that the Technology Fairy invented satellite radio and gps.
