Just spent the last two hours talking about philosophy with a local old guy at the gas station. More evidence that supports my theory that my life is turning into an indie film.
Argh. My feet. This surprise birthday party is going to be the death of me. I was running around all day. Now I have to spend the evening pretending I sat on my ass all day, otherwise John will be suspicious.
On the flipside, one of his friends and I spent the afternoon setting up this little party tent to cover the buffet tomorrow. She brought the tent, and we pulled out all the pieces (there were a gajillion), and found that the instructions were missing.
I put it together anyway.
I am a boss.
I sent you some major positive waves today. How did I do this, you ask? You will see in a later post...
Also, I am trying my best not to spend too much of this weekend on the wedding drama.
** spoiler omitted **
Man, he has issues. I am so glad that they are not my issues anymore.
Yikes. I'm sorry man. That's awful. If you want to talk about it, please call. I understand you're under a lot of stress, I'm going to be up for a while, and misery certainly loves company...

Meh. It's not that there's anything I need to (or should) do about it. He just tends to make terrible decisions, and it saddens me to see him destroy any of his few friendships that way.

Also, when I decided to throw the party in a friend's garden, I did so because I did not want this party to break the bank.
Well let me tell you... there was some serious sticker shock when I figured out how much I needed to spend on food and drink for 30-35 people. Cripes.
I am crowd-sourcing the appetizers and salads, and I am making all the desserts myself, but this is still hella expensive.
Indeed. Very sorry to hear Orthos. Positive waves!More word on my end. PA came in this morning, found a mass that is near-certainly cancer. They're trying to decide if they want to cut it out and send it off for biopsy now, or wait until his pneumonia is less bad.Blarg. Sorry to hear that, Orthos.+1
I am hoping for the best, Orthos.
+1 damn....

"Yup, you'll get that on these big jobs."
Someday I hope to explain that quote over a drink. :)
Bad news on the Dad front. Dad is back in the ICU, and we don't know why. I recently got back from the hospital, but we are waiting on a zillion tests.
On the bright side, Dad is basically too weak to talk, but when I scolded him for fighting his CPAP he smiled and flipped me off. He's still in that broken shell some where, and he hasn't given up yet. ;)
Take care, all.

I spent lots of time in the evening and night playing Valdis Story. Great platform game. Anyone who liked 2D Castlevanias should consider this.

That's the way of things nowadays, I fear. It's expensive to cater. Painfully so. We may have to start cooking for special events for the day job, and noone is happy about that.

You compare it to Castlevania? That's a HEAVY comparison. I will be reading up on this game intently.

HOLY CRAP.
It's been way, way longer than it's supposed to have taken, but I've FINALLY DONE IT. I've uploaded ALL OF THE PICS!!!
First, to my cliffhanger from yesterday- as Sharoth(and only Sharoth) knows, I HUNG OUT WITH OUR OWN ASHE RAVENHEART/MATTDROZ YESTERDAY!!! Here are the pics of us hanging out, including an embarrassing selfie, a good look at what has become of Otafuku, my favorite(and only) takoyaki restaurant(although I didn't get a good pic of Ashe eating my balls, which for some reason he did not like...), and pics of him pushing the cube, which will seal our friendship forever, as it did with Aeglos and his wife and CH. I need to get the Moores up here to push the cube as well...
Next, a pic of Mom, which is also the pic for her on my phone. I'm not sure if this was her second or third beer, but she certainly drank me under the table...
After that, FINALLY, pics of the bike helmet!!!!!! I've since trimmed the white from the crest in the front of the helmet for a better appearance. A million internets if you're able to figure out where each sticker is from.
DOUBLE FINALLY, PICS FROM THE CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL!!!
And last, but not least, just make sure I've shared everything, here are pics from last year's NY Renaissance Fair!!!
Finally. FINALLY got everything up.
Today my nephew makes his First Communion. There will be a party afterwards.
Congratulations to him!

Sadness -
My older brother, the only one who still lives in Louisiana, regularly let's his boys spend the night at our parent's house. My mom loves it. Unfortunately, my dad's deteriorating mental condition has been creeping out the older boy, so my brother is probably going to stop this practice. My nephew' words were "I want my old gramps back."
So do I kid. So do I.
Also, I maintain my belief that the writers of children's shows are smoking some really good s$@!. I have now expanded that belief to encompass shows targeting tweens and teenagers.
That new show, Clarence, had me laughing quite a bit the other day. There was a cute ducktales reference, and the kid reminds me of myself at that age. Lots of puberty references.

Darn. Sorry to hear that, BT. I'm glad he's still fighting, though.

It's got to especially tough for kids to see their grandparents deteriorate like that.
I am much older, and I know it saddened me quite a lot when I visited my grandmother and she showed no spark of recollection for who I was.
HOLY CRAP.

great pics
the Ren Fair is at The Cloister ?
I noticed on your mothers Day pic a banner of "Schöfferhofer Grapefruit" in the background.
I did not know they exported that, it is a yeasty whitebeer (Hefeweizen) mixed with grapefruit juice, made here in Frankfurt, and very popular in germany, only 2%alcohol
I love it, if you can get it you should try it, I guess it would be after your taste

Things are getting worse for my grandfather. His heart rate was spiking last night and his blood oxygen dropped severely so they have him on stabilizing medication and a breathing mask. They're hoping it's just because his heart is being strained by the pneumonia and the medications for it, so hopefully once those are more under control his heart troubles will also back down.
They're planning on doing the biopsy tomorrow, barring further complications, meaning we should know if the mass is cancerous by Wednesday or so. In the meantime he's been moved to ICU.
Congrats! What is next for you?I have graduation in the morning...finally finished with my associate's degree. :)
To celebrate, we're going to see Godzilla afterwards....everything is better with kaiju. :D
Looking for a part time job and figuring out what schools to apply for to work on my bachelors degree. I definitely want to do online classes so I can have a flexible schedule so that narrows things down a little. And I need to find scholarships to pay for it. I have too much student loan debt already.

Had a really epic session of Kingmaker today.
Also, one week before the entry exam to University...

I will try the grapefruit beer in the future...
I had a 3 hour layover in Houston yesterday at 5pm CST
You should have looked up the people in Houston!
He recommended Sugarland as a nice suburb.
We're losing our Sugarland...The Domino's Sugar building in Williamsburg is being converted into several apartment buildings...

Here's praying it's benign. I hope your grandfather is able to undergo everything without complications and recover.

I'll be happy when this headache goes away. I blame pollen.
