A Moment of Healing 2
The Girard Plague(tm)
Had a little get together for some various college friends this weekend in Hopatcong… I’ve done this for the past few years, and everyone seems to enjoy it, especially when the weather is as gorgeous as it was this weekend past. We just chilled out on the Party Barge, Regency Edition, swam, ate, and drank. This party is always complicated because the boat really is the limiting factor, as it only seats 14 including the driver. We were pretty much at capacity this year, which means I might seriously have to look into renting a second boat next year… Which should make invitations less complicated but increase the planning required.

and
were among the attendees, and they came with a bit of a cold. Unfortunately, I seem to have picked up that cold, and it is really kicking my ass (but I’m still glad they were able to come to the party)… I’ve been out of work for the past two days, but I’m starting to come around… I’m sure tomorrow I’ll be fighting off the congestion, and I probably won’t walk to work, but I’m starting to get a little stir-crazy in the house.
The couple buying the condo below us closed today, so it is our first evening with neighbors in two months. I’ve gotten so used to having the run of the place, it will take a little getting used to. They seem cool as hell, though, so I’m not anticipating any troubles…
Strange Week
I’ve felt out of sorts all week, and I’m not sure why… I ended up driving to work most of this week, so perhaps that has something to do with it. I slipped and fell on the way to work on Monday, thanksto some piece of shit who couldn’t be bothered to clear their sidewalk… After I got to work, I hooked up my iPod to the computer and it wasn’t seeing the connection. I thought it got damaged in the fall, but after banging it on the desk a few times and blowing out the dock connector, it finally seemed to work.
Corinna and I continue trying to button up the remainder of the pre-sale house tasks… Last weekend we moved even more stuff into the storage locker.. We have a few final things to put in there, and I will hopefully get them together this weekend and be able to check that box. Last night I took
to Home Depot so she could pick out paint for the bedroom and get some other supplies. I am no fun to shop with, so we have an agreement where I am the chauffeur and then I sit in the car doing whatever.. Last night I spent the time catching up on old issues of Skeptical Inquirer. I have a stack of about 6 issues that I never even opened, and I’d rather not move them if I don’t have to…
Today I walked in… It’s so beautiful outside, it was really invigorating!
This Sunday, the film club is going to a pre-screening of “Hot Fuzz” at the Brattle, and Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright will be there in person… Should be a good time!

Oh….. Fudge…..
I was pulling into my neighborhood yesterday and heard the dreaded sound of a flat tire. The tire had a slice on it’s sidewall on the INSIDE of the tire, which I don’t even understand. I pulled off to the side of the road to swap it out, jacked up the car, took off the lugs, and couldn’t get the wheel off. I called

The god of headlamps hates me
I have replaced one or both of the headlamps in my car several times (4 or more) in the past 365 days… Yesterday I replaced my passenger side low beam. This morning while the car was warming up, the drivers side low beam blinked out. What the fuck is going on?
Please, don’t talk about getting hand oil or residue on the bulb, I’m fully aware of that and quite careful.
