Mornin’ everybody. We’ve made it to Friday. That means my new article is up on the City Wire. To read it, click here: Elephant Ear Smoothies.

On a different note, did you know that until November 20th, there are exact replicas of the Nina and Pinta docked here in town. Apparently, the Santa Maria replica was here a while back. I had no idea that they’d even built replicas of the ships let alone that they sail them around rivers and visit towns. Shows what I know. Anyway, if you want more info on the ships, click here: I’m on a boat.

Yesterday was a crazy day. It started with Teacher Sis and family discovering that all of their cars had been stripped clean of their belongings. So, needless to say, she was a little on edge for the remainder of the day. Prop Ninja ended up losing three weeks worth of homework and project research when they took her backpack, so she got to spend all day doing makeup work.

I, on the other hand, scored the mother load while they were pulling their hair out. I got an entire case of fresh asparagus. Something like 12 pounds (5.5kg) worth. I plan of blanching it and freezing it until I need it next week for my back to back Thanksgiving feast days. Mwhahaha…

I then spent the majority of my day glazing. After work, I came home and decorated the pre-baked cookie cake that I also scored. I sat down to try and watch Sorcerer’s Stone, but the phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. At some point, Teacher Sis and Prop Ninja came by to get me so that we could go birthday shopping for Word to Me. And it was off to the mall with us. Ugh. Their cheery disposition combined with my loathing of the mall made for loads of comedy gold, none of which is rated below NC-17 and therefore cannot be mentioned here. Just know that the stupid store in the mall no longer carries the purse covers that Word to Me wants for her birthday. We ended up having to choose between a vibrator that looks like Lord Voldemort at Spencers and a hookah that looks like Ganesha at Romancing the Stone. I can’t spoil it here, but let’s just say that Word to Me is going to enjoy here presnent.

While we were in Jerrytown, I mean Romancing the Stone, I went ahead and picked some incense. Hey, it beats me buying a sticker that reads “I (heart) Cats. It’s People I Can’t Stand.” Plus, the incense isn’t for me anyway.

This weekend I’ve got normal stuff to do. I need to get lunch on assignment. I’m sure we’re doing something for WtM for her birthday. I need to write an article. I need to watch Star Trek. One thing I definitely need to do  is suss out this podcast hosting business. I’ve been getting some great feedback about Zaxxon and I doing a show, so I have got to get my ass in gear and get the pilot up. If anybody knows anything about hosting podcasts, let me know please.

Anywho, I’ve got to run. There’s pots to be ground. Have a great day. More soon. ~SC
