Tourist Attraction

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Here I am with an out of towner I just happene to meet at the pier. We
got to talking and she really wanted a picture with me. She didn’t have
a camera so we took one with mine. I asked a local yokel to take it for
us. This is just before ihe ran off with the camera.
We look so happy in that moment, so innocent.

My apartment

Friday, April 7th, 2006

This is my new apartment building. Isn’t it shiny? They polish the
outside at least once a month. The nice thing about a place like this
is you don’t need mirrors. You can just step outside and walk around
the corner.
The doorman is also a plus. He filters out the riff raff and scallywags
from the street. The view from the 50th floor is amazing. The sunsets
are especially nice.
It has all the benefits of a medieval castle, the views, the security,
and less of the downside. Of course there are still peasents outside,
but they’re not YOUR peasents. One bad point, there’s no moat outside
but then again there are no maurading neighbors to worry about either.

Supernova

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

That’s when the supwrnova exploded, bringing choas and joy to the
world. It was thoroughly unanticipated. An unexpected tide of light
swept through newark. The sun looked like it had been switched to the
third click. Plants began to grow at astonsihing rates. Weather
patterns shifted and the peoples of the world migrated to suitable
climates en masse.
The people of earth were liberated from the 40 hour work week.
Supermarkets were replaced with groves of fruit bearing trees as the
forests surged in what had become a predominately tropical world
climate.

Body Combat - First Session

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Kitty and I just got back from our first training session under our Kung fu kids 2new sensei, REX KWON DO! I WISH! Napolean Dynamite anyone?

More seriously, we just got back from BODY COMBAT at Gold’s Gym. This was an hour of solid heart pounding, sweat inducing, punch throwing, jump kicing action. yeah. That’s right folks. It was hardcore!
Apparently this is where all the cage fighters are training these days. I’m in it for the glory, Kitty’s in it for blood. Together we have no worthy opponents.

Take for example Tutsusimi Nogapity. He thought he was tough. Turns out that he’s not as tough in the octogon as he is on the playground. I made short work of him with two uppercuts, a left jab, and a round house kick. He swore that we would meet again, and that our second meeting would end differently. We shall see Tutsusuimi!!
Kung Fu Kids

Next Kitty fought the hook-kick brothers. That’s Joe on the left, and Homer on the right. They didn’t know what they were about to face. They tasted the bitter taste of bitter defeat! It was a bitter battle that couldn’t have been any better for Kitty. She was gracious however, and did not break bones. Not even one.
