Nice day, innit?

[wednes]

Everything's coming up Wednes today, which is nice.

My handfasting besom arrived in the mail, along with a bunch of jewelery I ordered as gifts for people. I love getting packages, so fun!! BTW, thanks lirrin for the extra goodies. I had no idea there were so many other products associated with Peeps. I'm so excited to be giving out gifts that I'll probably start early.

TV played one of my fave Simpsons episodes, and one of the few I don't have recorded. It's the one where Marge is the Listen Lady and Homer finds his face on a box of Japanese soap.

H kicked my ass at Wii baseball today, and I beat him at bowling.
That was pretty fun. We're both pro bowlers now.

Now, I'm off to make us mostaccoli with ricotta. That'll be yummy.
Although my internet troll seems to think I'm too fat. As you might imagine, I'm all aflutter trying to get back in his good graces. Oh wait, no I'm not.

H thought I was making up the fact that there used to be a Rubik's Cube cartoon. It was terrible, it lasted only one season, but it really did exist. I know more about bad 80's cartoons that H. Woot Woot for me!!!

As for my honeymoon, which we are currently planning, it looks like we'll be spending 2-3 nights in Chicago. We'll get to see the zoo, the aquarium--which will have komodo dragons--and who knows what else? It's gonna be swell. H's fave place is Dave and Buster's, which I've never been to. I hear they have skee ball. I like skee ball.

Sweet!

Planetarium? Museum of Science and Industry? Used Bookstores? View from the Sears Tower? Drive North to Milwaukee afterwards to take the spiffy high-speed ferry home across Lake Michigan?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Cool. Good ideas all. Can you tell I've never been? Well, I've been to O'Hare and to the greyhound station on my way to Madison, WI. But I've never been just to go.

[peteralway.livejournal.com]

Field Museum of Natural History? I've never been but I hear it's excellent.

Cathy and I will be going to Chicago for our first anniversary.

[groovesinorbit]

Ooh, I'd love to go Chicago. I've only ever passed through.

And who is this pompous troll of yours? Yeesh.

[lostsatellite.livejournal.com]

I dig your Homer icon!...one of my Simpsons t-shirts is of Mr. Sparkle...

it's cool that you're going to Chicago for your honeymoon...do check out Millennium Park...and my favorite place to return to again and again in Chicago is the Chicago Cultural Center...it's free, has different exhibits and events every time I stop in, and it's a beautiful building just to walk around in (bonus being that it used to be a library)...

I've been to a Dave and Buster's once, in the Cincinatti area, quite a few years ago...Skee Ball is always fun...

[lostsatellite.livejournal.com]

you're not talking about Dairyland Greyhound Park, are you?...that's in my town!...

so is the Bong Recreation Area...I don't know if you still use the icon of the road sign for that, but I know you used to...if you're into camping or nature, it's worth checking out...

Your troll = FAILBOMINATION. o.0

The rest of us win at life just by not being him.


So anyway, honeymoon sounds great. Komodo dragons, yay! And tonight's mostaccoli with ricotta, yum!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Nice.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Cool. What are you gonna do there?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Some Z-grade pagan "celeb" of some sort. To be honest, I've never encountered anyone so hypocritical or pompous. We had an argument in a comm where he deleted my comments (not his comm, BTW) and then made several posts about being against censorship. It would have been funny had it not been so sad.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Cultural centre eh? That sounds pretty good.
Thanks!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Nope, just the regular greyhound bus station. it was nothing fancy.

I do have that icon around somewhere. I don't know how much time we'll have since we're only going for 2-3 days. But I always like a little nature!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

LOL Your troll instincts are mahvellous!

The Art Institute of Chicago is always worth a looksee. I've never been to Jackson Park on the south side, but I would like to, as it was the site of the 1893 World's Fair, which had quite a fascinating history, as the book The Devil in the White City can atest to.

[cmdavi-70.livejournal.com]

Or, attest rather.

[eroslane.livejournal.com]

Please, spend a lot at Dave & Busters.

A friend of mine owns stock there. :-)

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I have that book but haven't read it yet. I still need to finish Hannibal Rising.

I guess I'd better read it before I go.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I imagine we will. H loves those video games.

[lostsatellite.livejournal.com]

and if you're interested in the Cultural Center, it's right across Michigan Avenue from Millennium Park, on the corner with Washington...

[lostsatellite.livejournal.com]

ohh, it was those kind of Greyhounds :)

I imagine you wouldn't have time for Bong, when there's so much to do in Chicago and only so much time...and it would be a bit out of your way...

[madush69.livejournal.com]

Eat Pizza.

Oh, and we're gonna see Amy Winehouse in concert.

And we're gonna eat more pizza.

And probably kiss and stuff.

[swayworn.livejournal.com]

Aw, hell. I remember Rubik!

I even remember the episode when he turned into a time machine... shaped like The Time Machine.

“Bad men!”

[swayworn.livejournal.com]

Of course, I meant to say, “The Time Machine”

[trav28.livejournal.com]

Love your use of "innit". You are so anglais!

And your troll is a twat, what a pompous arsed twat (I was about to say cunt but that could be deemed as offensive).

[wednes.livejournal.com]

That sounds easy enough to find.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Ew. Get a room.

Oh wait, you will.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Wow! you DO have a memory on you.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I thought you must mean the real one.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I think the C word might be appropriate in this case. He is easily the most offensive person I've met on the whole damn internet.

[trav28.livejournal.com]

heh, I can even say it in a London accent. I guess that makes it more socially acceptable.
