Tuesday Evening with Maggs

03 February 2004

1. The weather here is ridiculous. For all the readers coming here from out of town, let me give you a brief description of the ridiculousness taking place, eh, here.

Punk-so-nerdy Phil sawer his shadow, or didn't see his shadow or (insert favorite word) whatever. The point is there's more winter which is just peachy. (Insert favorite phrase) I'm just sayin'. If that sorry excuse for a groundhog were hibernatin' his furry little ass here in Minnesota he would SURELY have done his duty and heralded spring early. As it were, I hear he's spending time in Pennsylvania these days where the frost doesn't jump out at the civilians like deadly assasin's.

I saw one of the assasin's today - he jumped out from behind the snowbank and nearly took out Em.

2. Keira is coming to visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I get any more excited about this my little head is going to pop off. When I sat down to actually think about the last time I saw her, it was just after our cross-country trip 2 and a half YEARS ago! Damn!

< Keira's introduction to the world > I met Keira in the first day of Cobol at UW-EC - it just so happened we're both overachievers and sat in the front row. At the end of the first day this overachiever said to that overachiever, "Like, oh my god! We should totally study together!" She said that sounded 'dope' and the rest was history. Along the way there *may* have been some bar-hopping, Blake-happening, Beno-slapping, table-dancing, class-skipping, beach-going, deviled egg eating, dope-smoking, libran-conquering goodness. It's scary how alike we are - anyone who knows us... huh, I don't think anyone actually *knows* the both of us - ok, so what was I talking about again? Oh right, Keira's the bomb, my partner in crime, my sister, and she's coming to visit Valentine's Day weekend. *Big smiles*

3. Just got home from the movie "You Got Served." It might have been chee-hee-sleezy, but the movie was about the dancing and DAMN! The dancing was off the hook. I *need* to see the last scene again. *Big sigh* It was amazing. Does anyone want to know what wasn't amazing? Sitting in the parking garage for 28 minutes while Em and I sat in line waiting to get out. I smell like gas, scratch that, exhaust now.

4. I got Steve a desk calendar for Christmas - and each day has a "Would you rather..." question. Fave question so far: "Would you rather... swim across a crocodile-infested river OR camp one night on an island inhabited by man-eating tigers?"

My answer - and all ya'll have to come up with your own - was the island with tigers. Why? Because they're MAN-eating tigers. D'oh!

5. Taken from here try this game at home, phun phor the whole phamily:

"While sitting down, lift your right foot slightly off the floor and make clockwise circles with your foot. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction..... counter clockwise...

You can't help it!"

Comments

That drawing a 6 thingy is weird. I saw it on BoingBoing.net this morning too. Freaky.

1a. The weather here IS ridiculous. Thank GOD my make believe boyfriend likes me layers.
1b. Maggs, let's kick some Punk-so-nerdy Phil ass. I'll shove that MF groundhog where the sun don't shine. Seeming as though we don't get to see sun, he shouldn't either.
1c. You said "ass"asin.
1d. Thanks for saving my life.

2a. Keira aka second soul de Maggs is going to be in WINTER. You think she's going to make snow angels, I think she and I are going to drive to Pennsylvania two days after she's been here (please see 1b).
2b. Kiera said "dope" hehehehe..
2c. You going to relive any of that hyphenated stuff you were talking about.

3a. You could spread crackers with the "You Got Served" cheese.
3b. We WILL see the last scene again
3c. I hate driving - I hate lines - I hate exhaust

4. See my comment on Steve's website http://www.prakope.com

5. Someone has WAY too much freetime on her hands!

Did you *try* the game? It's totally true!

Of course it's true! You HAVE to make a counter clockwise motion to get the curvature figure of the "6". Want a GREAT GAME? See my blog!
