Well now that my little goo is expired I can mention how our Halloween party went. I think it went OK. A few people knew who we were pretending to be. I think Darrin looks particularly convincing as the New Number 2. I guess I am glad that not *everyone* in the world got the goo :-). It was supposed to say, "This goo is not number 1118" as I wanted to avoid using the phrase "not a number" to make it just a tiny bit less obvious, but we can chalk that phrasing difference up to my inability to communicate.

Here we are. By the way, a highly budget-conscious person should never purchase a fleece scarf for $6 when they can instead go to Walmart and have the fleece cut to the desired width for an instant scarf for less than a dollar, as we did :P. Need I mention how much I hate pictures of myself? I think not. I'm sure everyone realizes that about me already.

If you mean the guy on "the" right rather than "my" right, we thought ourselves that he kind of looks like George Washington :P. That is Darrin (with the scarf and umbrella) as number 2. The one in the white-edged blazer is my husband Darrell as Number 6.

HAHAHA... I'm glad I wasn't the only one -- I was hesitant to say anything, but "George Washington" was *exactly* what I was thinking... ;-D

I still think those outfits turned out pretty darn cool. Well done, Denise. :-)

Back in Fargo

I have arrived home after a safe and uneventful flight. Thanks for the memories! It was fun. Go »

I'm posting a lot

Yeah I suppose I should mention for anyone wondering (besides Scott, who I already talked to) I'm 90% sure I'm too crazy to do this GooCon thing appropriately. But that 10% chance of a successful trip is driving me nuts. I'm really curious to meet some other site users and I know it would be fun if I wasn't so crazy. Go »

More about the coat obsession

I know I already put the pictures on Facebook but I have such an infatuation with this coat that I need to post about it a bit :P. Here is the real dude in the real coat: Here is Darrell in our coat we just bought: Here's me in the coat: Here I am in the coat again (brighter shot): Anyhow, generally when you find pictures of this guy he has on the suspenders and no vest. He does wear a vest sometimes though! Go »

False Hope

So the guys' band had a show on Saturday and it went really well. A bunch of people came up to say they did a good job, and the headlining band (another local act) really liked the music and wants to do other shows together. And they even got paid! Go »

Narcissist

Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »

The Two Towers

So last week Darrell's friend Mike discovered on Wikipedia that Galesburg, North Dakota, a town near where Darrell and Darrin grew up and where they often hung out at the cafe, actually has the third tallest structure in the world. I find the photo on the wikipedia page rather amusing, by the way, due to its unusual dimensions. Upon discovering this, Mike, Darrell, and Darrin immediately drove out to pay the tower a visit. Go »
