Sometimes I have these really inexplicably weird dreams that wake me up and leave me wondering “What the heck was that?”
It started off with me wandering around the townhouse complex where I grew up. There was this funny looking chihuahua following me around for some reason. Then this funny looking dog thing appeared. It looked a lot like Speak, the South American rodent thing that the Tick adopted as a dog. Suddenly, the chihuahua gave a yelp, jumped up and landed on the back of the Speak-resembling-thing and started humping it.
A woman standing next to me asks “Is that dog humping the other one?”
After looking a little bit, I replied “No…I think he’s trying to ride it…like a horse”
Eventually the Speak-resembling-thing took off with the chihuahua riding on it’s back. There’s this guy filming the chihuahua jumping onto the Speak-resembling-thing’s back to send to America’s Funniest Animals. He’s recording it on a strange format film, so when it’s played back it looks and sounds like slow motion.
Suddenly, Speak-resembling-thing is being operated on. Midline incision is made, and strange looking guts are revealed. And then I woke up.
Remind me not to read my wife’s anatomy textbooks before going to bed…
Opposites really do attract
My wife and I are completely and totally the opposite of each other. It’s a wonder that we get along as well as we do.
- My wife is a social butterfly and people person. I am not.
- She likes going out clubbing and dancing. I hate clubs, and have no rhythm at all.
- She likes eating out at fancy restaurants. I just want to go to the burger place down the road.
- Physics turns me on. It turns her off.
- I like playing outdoors and doing outdoorsy things. She can’t stand being anywhere bugs might land on her.
- She likes to plan and schedule everything. I have a hard time planning what I’m going to be doing in 10 minutes.
- I cook experimentally and throw together whatever happens to be on hand. She wants to stick with the recipe.
- She waffles. When I make a decision, I’m committed unless there’s a good reason to make me change my mind.
- I’m a pack rat. She’s forever looking to throw away my stuff.
Despite all that, we still manage to get along amazingly well and have been for the past 11 years. Rather than thinking of us as being total opposites, I prefer to think of us as being very complementary.
Hooligan wedding on the way
Congratulations to my fellow Hooligans on their upcoming arrival and as yet unplanned wedding. All my best wishes to the round headed kid and his little blonde haired girl :). I’m looking forward to the festivities!
From Hooligan.net:
Someone is pregnant!
Ok you may have heard the rumours, you may not have, either way it is still big news. Someone who shall remain nameless for the time being (not because I want to protect the innocent, nor the guilty. But because it is fun to make you guess) is now preggers. I will only reveal that this is an old dear friend of the hooligans, whom we have known for many many years and who dates back to the gleee club days. I think we all wish this leggy blonde all the best, and hope that the father of her baby will do the honourable thing and marry her. Granted a promise has been made to that effect but nothing more has been forthcoming. Why is he waiting to make plans? only hoo knows.
Orlando photos
We had a good time on the trip. Went to Seaworld where we got to pet penguins and dolphins and feed stingrays. Rode on Kraken, one really kick ass rollercoaster and got soaked on Journey To Atlantis.
The next day we drove out to Kennedy Space Center and explored around there most of the day. Very cool place. I particularly enjoyed the Apollo/Saturn V center. It’s hard to imagine just how large the Saturn V really is until you see it up close.
Our last full day we spent the evening at Downtown Disney and saw Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba. I love Cirque du Soleil. They’re so much fun to watch. And like many shows, it’s even better to see in live. Definitely worth going to if you have a chance.
Back to work
Back from my trip to Orlando. Much fun was had, much baking in the sun was done. I’ll put some pictures up in my gallery shortly, once I’ve gone through and organized them a bit.
