While I am always glad not to be at work, I am particularly glad I wasn't here yesterday. We had a university women's soccer team arrive, but since we didn't have a rooming list for them (probably because the group sales lady never bothered to forward it to us) the computer had automatically released the rooms they had reserved. Therefore we didn't have sufficient rooms for them. Apparently we were able do some trading with our sister hotel and get them all in over there (we took some of the other hotel's reservations in exchange for them being able to squeeze the team in), but they weren't happy. Which is completely understandable, but it means that once again we are getting blamed by the guest, and probably by corporate, when it was the group sales lady who once again screwed us over and will probably, once again, refuse to take responsibility for.

That's funny we had a woman's soccer team last night too. Maybe they were both going to the same place.

I am very tempted to try and do this.
But I have too many other projects in mind first.

There is a cultural taboo against it - somebody surmised that it was a relic of ancient Celtic horse worship, but I'm not sure I believe that. However, I don't have a problem with it, which is further proof that I am a TRAITOUR.

It would probably be really hard to eat that way. you could just do that lame cop out that they do with the chocolate bunnies and have it just be a hollow shell of chocolate. or you could make smaller chocolate dice and fill it full of them.

It's only hard to eat if you aren't applying yourself properly.

I'm personally not overly fond of chocolate.
I can't say I'd want to eat chocolate dice, that sounds a bit... Unsanitary, clean table or not (especially if someone else rolls them first, I know how infrequently people like to wash their hands.
But I guess they aren't chocolate chip cookies, which I hate more than any other chocolate recipe, other than s'mores, which also have marshmallows, the only thing more disgusting then chocolate.
Admittedly, I'm a bit of an odd duck in that regard.

Now that I finally have a legal identity again (my new passport card only took three weeks from mailing the application to receiving it in the mail!) I was able to use my reciprocating membership benefits from the science museum back in Oakland to take the kids to the Perot Museum on the first day of the new dinosaur exhibit.
And, yes, it's good because a ridiculously wealthy man threw piles of money at the project so folks down here would remember him for that and not his disastrous Presidential bid, but still, it's an excellent museum.

...And oh, Im having a beer now.
Kampai kitty! ^^'
Also, while I might be an average cook, I would feed you any day of the week.
What does horse taste like exactly?
Quite beefy and a bit more tangy or sweetish.
I spent the week waiting for a surprise that Mrs Sunrise promised. When I came home from work on Thursday, she told me we were going to start training for a 5k. Before I could say "Sure honey, pull the other one...", my best old friend appeared out of nowhere.
Because she flew him in from NYC for the weekend.
I have the best wife EVAR!
Hope you've had a nice weekend with your buddy TS!
(And Yes, that is a best wife ever moment ^^ - give her a hug from me)

Or maybe embracing some long-lost continental European roots ^^'

Tis ok, my BF's dad fed me today. Again I can pretty much feed myself if I choose to. I'm a fluffy kitty like that. If nothing else there's always pizza and more orange cake =)

Oh, don't get me started on hand-washing.
It's so fundamental and ingrained into me that when I see guys come in, use the urinal, and not wash, I physically shudder.
And I have been at restaurants and seen guys use the stall and then not wash.
WTF?

Where are the missile launchers and machine guns? Does he come with his own ordinance?

the next time you dont have a legal identity, stay in the abscondi-cave, which is considered Freeholdian soil. You can apply for refugee status.

Wow. Just. Wow.
NobodysWife is doing due diligence on moving her flight, checking TAP Portugal's site every day to see whether she can sneak in a lower-fare ticket.
And what she has learned is that TAP Portugal auctions off its extra seats, starting at a whopping 520 Euros!!!
I have to admit, I've flown some shady airlines in my lifetime, but, "We auction off our open seats to the highest bidder. Hope you like hanging around in airports and paying ludicrous amounts for your seat!" is really the worst I've ever seen.
NobodysWife has decided that TAP Portugal will never see another penny from her, so she's stopped trying to check for changes. If she can get a cheap last-minute seat from a different airline, she'll do that.
EDIT: Just for price comparison, her flight out was $479.61, and her return flight was $531.81, so the bidding to change an existing ticket starts at almost 20% over the original ticket price. WTF?

He's tiny, only the size of a border collie. It's like a cross between a crocodile, a gila monster, and Spuds Mackenzie. Perfect pet for a Texan!

I'm personally not overly fond of chocolate.
I like a snickers bar once in a while, but otherwise same here. I have zero interest in chocolate chip cookies, chocolate this-or-that, double-decker death-by-chocolate whatevers, or 99% of other chocolate flavored anythings.
Marshmallows though I do love, especially in rice crispy treats.
...How did I become a smurf?

There are two issues with that... It is too small for Texas, and it might have been herbivore without being an actual horse, which I am pretty sure means they are suitable material for steaks in Texas...
