I’m so afraid of the internet and people who can deadpan today.
It is April Fools Day. Gmail already got me. Who’s next?!
If I were clever, I’d post some terrifying entry about being pregnant or Boston declaring independence from the US and setting sail to Ireland. Unfortunately, I’m not a convincing liar!
I have a bunch of pictures to share with you soonish. I have tomorrow off, so it just may be the day.
(maybe that was my April Fools Day joke?)
Uhm. Er. Anyway. Hanna is telling me the hilariously tragic story of trying to apply to Starbucks (I am not dissing the ‘bux. I work there. and I love it.), and I hope she posts it on her blog at some point. It’s amazing.
Today:
* Qdoba
* The Library
* Work
toodeloo.

Sounds AWESOME, right?
Last night, Tellef, Ethan, Pat, Walsh and I went sledding/tubing at a nearby park.
I’ll set the scene. 10:30 PM. Heavy snow. Tellef has been making a wizard’s staff out of PBR cans. We have a tube.
We trudge up the big hill at the park and Tellef (I think) takes the first try. Apparently one picks up a lot of speed with a tube on fresh snow. a LOT. Tellef promptly crashes into the wire fence surrounding the baseball field at the bottom of the hill. Also there is a tree a foot to the right of the path they’ve taken.
The final injury tally is: Tellef hit his head on one of the bars on the fence. Ethan hit his thigh on a cornerpost. But Walsh wins, because he hit his TEETH on the bar. He DENTED THE BAR. WITH HIS FACE. and lived to tell the tale.
Tellef and Walsh also got stuck halfway under the fence on seperate occasions. Walsh did somersaults down the hill and Tellef ran over him with the tube.
It was a lot of fun, though I wasn’t brave enough to try it for myself.
Tellef will probably be posting the pictures I took for him eventually on his Flickr.
I just had to check how to spell somersault and M-W.com sez:
- “Etymology:
- Middle French sombresaut leap, ultimately from Latin super over + saltus leap, from salire to jump — more at over, sally“
-
weird!
anywho. I’ve been playing a lot of Halo multiplayer with them, and I will say proudly that I handily won for the first time EVER playing to 15 kills with shotguns. I couldn’t believe it myself, really.
Okay. the end.

Because I have found this book, and I must have it.
..and..
….and…
it’s no longer in print and it seems to generally cost at least $150. I have never really wanted something like that before. I generally don’t want things that are valuable and hard to find.
But of course, it is Disney themed.
Apparently it’s the most thorough, amazing book on Disneyland. Le sigh.
In other news, I obviously am not doing my 365 project right now. I’m sorry I’m so lame. I just got a really bad cold and then I went back to work and frankly, a lot of my time is being taken up with learning about Bangladeshianite culture from my new Bangli-American friend, Nicole.
It is plainly a lot to take in.
Anyway, I DID buy a book today because I had a sweet 40% off any book with a $20 purchase. So I looked through three or four sections.
The runners up?
Slash by.. uh..Slash.
The Dirt by Motley Crue
Any non-fiction Anthony Bourdain book
I also considered some Starbucks books (Pour your heart into it, How Starbucks saved my life and It’s not about the coffee)
I ended up getting Spinning Disney’s World by Charles Ridgway, mostly because it’s hard (for me) to find Disney books in a real book store. There are SOME in film, SOME in business, lots in travel (but I don’t really need a basic guide to the parks), so..I jumped on it.
I’m going to the library tomorrow and I am very excited about it. I do love books. One thing I wished, while I was at Border’s, was that all the fun craft books they have actually had..FUN projects. I don’t know. maybe I need to slow down and think about what they show you how to make more. I just feel like the photography is great and the book design is great and then..bleh. the projects are kind of dopey?
Oh well. anyway. I’m going to go probably try to learn to play Civ 4 because I haven’t played ANY Civ games in years. Ta.
