Stuff you may not realize about me :)
by Denise Sawicki on October 19, 2010
I don't know if people realize this, but I do talk, and I do have a sense of humor of a sort... it's just that it's only with Darrell and Darrin that these things come out! It seems my frame of reference for the world is quite a bit different than most people's. I think the live goo game illustrates this rather nicely. Not once but twice, the first "celebrity" to jump to my mind was Bruce Boxleitner.. someone most people probably have not heard of. This was for the Tron question (because I could not remember the name Jeff Bridges) and the Scarecrow question. In the Irish section of the goo game, the top Irishmen I could think of were Dylan Moran and Aidan Gillen.... granted I probably could not come up with even these names on the spot. The Irish accent is so cute though. That's my new favorite accent. I think also in the Irish section someone mentioned something about the size of Bono's house?? This would have been a prime opportunity for me to say, "He has the world's largest collection of hatchbacks" but I did not, because nobody would know wtf I was on about. :P Anyway... the trip was kind of an experiment in whether or not the Prozac can induce me to act like a regular human being. The answer being... not really. But because of the Prozac I will just skip blithely on not caring what a weirdo I am.
edited to remove someone who is not even irish hehe

You're definitely different than most of the knuckleheads I hang out with but weirdo is a bit much. And you ate the alligator! How cool was that? Just as well you didn't try the conch fritters as they were a bit fishy.

The alligator was fine. I guess it is something to do just so you can say you did :). I am sure the conch fritters wouldn't have killed me or anything but I figured I should let someone have them who really had a craving for them. I maybe should have ordered grouper with you guys. According to my research, it is a fish that people who don't like fish, like. But my popcorn shrimp were delicious and I can't seem to resist being a *little* bit economical, if I can get a giant pile of popcorn shrimp for the same price as 6 large shrimp then why not? haha

Denise, you mentioned feeling a cold coming on when you left. Did that happen? Mine set in last night, and I've been asleep for most of the last 30 hours. I'm still nursing a fever.

Well it was pretty nasty on the plane when I left and my ears were plugged up the rest of the day (and I slept a lot) but it has been a lot better since. Still a mildly stuffy nose and my hearing is a bit weird. Perhaps this is too much information ;)

I myself am tip top. Should I feel bad about that? But I didn't go in the pool. The plot thickens.

Dog Tricks
Cross post from Facebook. Here are two new videos of our genius dog doing his amazing tricks. Mimicking Verbal Tricks Go »Chair
Over the weekend we went to Mills Fleet Farm to pick up the specific present my dad wanted for his birthday. I doubt you have the Fleet Farm in the more "civilized" parts of the world but it is a bit like a Walmart with the addition of things like calf medicine, saddles, fence posts, and a huge amount of hardware, machinery, building supplies, etc. I mostly stick to the more Walmart-like areas of the store, except for that one time when I built a fence :). Go »Greatcoat
So I am rather pleased to have bought what seems to be a US Air Force greatcoat for $12.50 at a thrift store... Darrell wants to be Jack Harkness for the convention or for Halloween and I can't say I blame him. 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 »Free stuff bandits
So we discovered that the limited edition "holiday" flavors of that Swiss chocolate are secretly on sale for 90% off... so we went and bought out all the gingerbread chocolate from the Target stores in Fargo and Moorhead, haha. We are so evil. Go »
