lessons from the weekend

things i learned this weekend:

1) i taste good, at least if you are a mosquito. saturday night was the luau at nick, curt, debbie, and paul's place, and as a result of sitting by the pool in my swimsuit, i am now one big mosquito bite. last night i told ron "you would not believe how much i want to show you my ass right now" and he laughed really hard, but i have 32 mosquito bites on my butt alone (you know, right below where my bathing suit ended), and i didn't figure he'd believe me unless i showed him. oh well. he said he trusted me. imagine that! anyway, in addition to the 32 on my butt, i counted 23 on my right thigh, 13 on my left calf, 2 on my face, 1 on my shoulder blade...and then i got bored and stopped counting. i estimate i have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 mosquito bites right now.

2) i like dancing on bars. yes, i was surprised at this one too. we went to bar houston on friday night, and got our groove thang on for a few hours. brienne and i took to the bar for a few songs, and i was quite entertained. very fun. will have to do it again.

3) i am a clumsy oaf. so i was minding my own business walking from the kitchen to the couch on saturday when a bear ran into our apartment and stomped on my toe, making it all black and blue and swollen and generally painful to walk on. either that, or i ran into the couch.

4) determining which pitcher gets the win in a baseball game can be arbitrary. random. i figured one of my guys would get a win for my fantasy baseball team because his team was winning when he left the game, even though he lasted less than 3 innings. apparently this is not so. apparently starters have to go 5 innings to be eligible for a win. see baseball rule 10.19.

5) i must have a convertible. nick let me borrow his car on saturday, so i got to cruise clear lake in a green mustang convertible. it was quite enjoyable, and i felt like a royal pimp, it was great.

6) don't leave the emergency brake on while driving. yeah. i knew this one. i just forgot. bad for the brake, and makes a funny smell.
