Living Near Jesusland
J:
Hey, I
remembered to throw a few Halloween pictures into
last week's news. Take a peek!
Our First
Friday party went well. I wore eyeliner and Gina wore her pointy elf
ears. I got a lot of nice comments on my eyeliner and, surprisingly, a
lot of strange looks and questions like, "Hey, what's with the makeup?"
I just wanted to put my post-Halloween party face on and relive the
good ol' eighties, but now I'm thinking of applying eyeliner every
First Friday until people get used to it or it starts a new trend in
men's eyeliner.
On Saturday Gina, Booda, and I went for a walk in our woods. As we
started to cross a little stream canyon we
spied some trash and stopped to pick it up. Someone had ripped and
burned up most of a copy of Darwin's On
the Origin of Species. Yep, the religious burning of books has
begun, along with the desecration of the forest! Woo Hoo! Welcome to
the borders of Jesusland,
sponsored by Bush and company. My immediate reactionary thought was to
burn a bible in retaliation, but I cooled off well before we returned
home. No need to stoop to their level... yet.

That night we
met up with a bunch of friends for dinner and a movie. We met RnA,
Rizolda, Janet, Petra, and Liam at The Macaroni Grill in Silver Spring.
We all had fun drawing squiggles on the paper table "cloth" and making
weird pictures out of them while we waited for our food. After dinner
we went down the street to The Majestic to see The Incredibles. John
was suffering from the beginnings of a cold so we went home afterward
while the rest went for ice cream.
On Sunday we went over to Alfredo's place to watch a DVD of The Beatles
First U.S. Visit. From there the three of us went to Bethesda to have a
birthday dinner for Alfredo at Jaleo.
It's a Spanish tapas restaurant that both he and Luisa love. John and I
joined in that love, but it cost a pretty penny. Almost everything we
had was absolutely delicious. The rest was very good. I'm saving my
pretty pennies to go back again. We had a great time.
We eat out too
much.
On Monday night John and I just hung out at home and watched two
episodes of Six
Feet Under (from season 2). Has he always been so snippy and
snarly, or is Nate's condition affecting him that way?
J:
I caught a cold this week, probably (and ironically) from the
receptionist at the ear/nose/throat doctor I went to last week. This
was a doozy of a cold— full of chills, dizziness, malaise, and snot. I
suddenly recovered today, though. Whatta relief.
So anyways I'm a bit late on some tombstones.
Sorry; maybe next week...
