Pirates had corn mazes?

Who knew?

[KeithHernandez]

Personally I think no real concert starts before 10 or has seats.

Yes.  If you want to be in bed early go watch Hitch or something.

Pirates had corn mazes?

Who knew?

They had 3 mazes, one shaped like a ship, one like a squid, and one was the word "Pirates" with a compass, skull, and crossed swords. They also had a corn/apple canon and a pumpkin canon. With pirate ships mocked up so you had something to shoot at.

Of course I found all 18 fence posts. But they give you a map, so it's not like it's that complicated.

Last night I had to blow off seeing The Cliks because the SO thought 9:30 was too late of a start time for a show with two openers. Personally I think no real concert starts before 10 or has seats.

That... what?   What?  I would go see the Cliks if the show started at 2 am, with three openers.  I would go see the Cliks if it meant missing an appointment for surgery.  So, ugh, not going due to a 9:30 start time is hard for me to understand.

today I am going to feel like it is still yesterday due to not sleeping. I am weirdly un-tired, just kind of dazed. I feel like I black-out wrote? I just suddenly realized that the whole hard part of my paper  was done, and that an hour had gone by? I don't understand how I wrote a big ol' paragraph with all these citations which doubled the length of my paper without realizing it. The good news is, it isn't due for another 3 hours, so I can totally finish it in time! it's not like I had all day yesterday, and the day before, and the day before to write it or anything silly like that!

My roommate is in the same class, and is taking a one hour nap on our couch before his first class. I have never seen someone look mad while sleeping before. He's got his arms crossed and is frowning, and I keep thinking he's pissed off because I woke him up or something.

but yeah, um, boo to missing a concert due to your lady's bed time. I can understand not wanting to go to a standing-up-type show when you are tired, though. My legs always get so tired, dang. It sucks. Especially when most of the tiredness is from standing there like a fool for 2 hours while the band didn't feel like coming on yet, and oh boy here's another opener...

...tell people that I proposed to my girlfriend on Saturday.

We've been together for almost 8 years and we've basically been married for the last four or so, but I finally allowed her to make a decent man out of me.  I picked up the ring last week and found a way to suprise her with it, even though she's been on Engagement Watch Level 10 since, oh, 2003 or so.

It looks like we shall be wed on August 31st.

[theinevitable]

awesome, man! congratulations on that.

today, I worked for 4 hours. Then I went out and bought myself some new, hot, undies. they had man-kini bottoms and I laughed. like... string mankini.

People, that was me. I said that in this thread.
I said something which, due to poor wording, sounded like I was saying that I bought such as a man-kini. People, I am so disappointed in you.

[jaydub]

Yo, congrats newly honest man dude.

Seconded.  Marriage is awesome.

They're looking for the &^%$^%%^%$$%$##@!!!! fire bug who started it right now!

On my first read through I was wondering if the pic of your pack and rifle was associated with your opinion of the arsonist. 

[Lister]

...stay home from work due to Fire, too.  There are eight of them in this county.

I'm not in immediate danger, but places north of me are under evacuation notice.  This is weird.  It's like a slow tornado or a series of small hurricanes.  Localized destruction, but 3 miles away there's nothing wrong.

This is almost like a snow day, except outside tastes like Las Vegas before the smoking bans.

EDIT: Oh yeah, a reporter for one of our stations reported FROM THE SMOULDERING REMAINS OF HIS OWN HOUSE.  Talk about surreal.

[Arachno-capitalist]

Sorry to hear about the fires, thats gotta be pretty damn scary. As a firefighter who has dealt with way too many wildfires, I can tell you its a bitch. The wind (specifically the strong winds your area) carry embers all over the place, no matter how many burn walls we make or fires we put out. Good luck, friends. I hope  everything works out.

[Lister]

Well, tonight I'm gonna be spending the night with friends.  I don't believe my place is in danger, but me and the SD County Fire people don't agree on that, so, like... now I'm up in Vista.

Me and my hard drives and my papers in a file.  At least there is internet and an XBox.

[wombat]

At least there is internet and an XBox.

Yes. I keep reminding my friend in Lake Forest that the most important thing is to evacuate to somewhere where there is internet. And don't forget your power cords.

In the middle of the horrible winter, I usually pause and ask myself why I live where I do.  I mean, why not go somewhere warm?  But I will look back on this thread and remind myself why I am where I am.  A blanket of snow - a blanket of snow vs wild fire - wild fire.  That shit is way too stressful.  I don't know how you can put up with it.  I hope for all of you effected that you are effected in the least problematic of ways possible - you know like the kind of thing that a garden hose can clean up.  Just... just some settled ash on your siding.

[wombat]

Hey Wombat, I work in Lake Forest now.

Really? Well, let me know if they evacuate you from work again - my friend was all worried about her dogs at home yesterday while she was at work and couldn't find any information. It's fine if you're home when they tell you to evacuate from your house but what if you're not home? This is a scary business.

On the bright side, my urge to move to Southern CA has greatly diminished in the last couple days...

The song Earthquakes & Sharks convinced me to stay away.
