i hereby declare tonight the official beginning of THAT stage of boog's childhood, the one where i'm doing weird shit like pulling a golf ball out of the garbage disposal.

its just all downhill from here.

jeremy: boog got his first d20, lol
batty: heh nice
jeremy: we were at gamer's haven
jeremy: and in the case there were dice, and he goes
jeremy: "daddy i want one of those"
jeremy: and i said "do you even know what to do with them"
jeremy: and he goes "yes, you roll it"
batty: hahaha
jeremy: so i said "very good! get the boy a die"

next step: ensure that boog is actually able to get girls that arent elves.

so HEY! remember a few weeks ago when i was all OMG EXCITED because i discovered the raspberry bush in my backyard and i dove right into it collecting as much as i could, once again demonstrating my lack of concept of personal safety?

you wanna know what else is out there? do you REALLY?

POISON IVY.

i have never, ever had poison ivy before in my life. however, thanks to my camping experience i know how to treat it. so that's hwat i'm doing now. but holy hell did it show up in the most amusing places.

PWNED.

NEVER AGAIN. REALLY. well, maybe next year when i'm stronger. but those hills were fucking HILLS, the kind that look like a giant wall when you are coming up on them. and they went on forever. and they were the kind of hills where you are just going from flat to up, there is no down. and when you thought they were done there were more. and then on mile 28 your legs are bricked and *any* incline feels like the big hills.

i woke up late - 6:15. hit the road @ 6:30, met up with shawn at the choo choo stop at 7:30 [16 miles in] and i pulled into the parking lot at 9.

IT shawn did fantastic. he was slow but he proved himself. near the end i got really ahead of him and ended up in the parking lot about 10 minutes before him.

and, after that, we walked up the 3 flights of stairs to the office. haha.

the guys requested that i stay in my bike shorts today. yeah, how bout no.

shawn: so batty! what's for lunch today?
me: i dont know, but i need something hefty.
shawn: yeah, jay suggested sushi but i think i need something more substantial. like.....a cow.

i feel good right now. really, really good.

WE RIDE AT DAWN.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:22:37 GMT

tomorrow is the ride into work with IT shawn. i have ridden all of twice in the last week. i am not worried about the distance as i am the elevation change.

my bahleetion wasn't intended to be dramamongering and/or attention whoring, lj was depressing me a bit, i felt that i had to step away and just sort out some personal stuff, and bahleetion was a surefire way to avoid lj temptation.

so, there you go. thank you droid and andrew and &reux and travis and habibe and jessie and onyx and stephen and laura for giving me a little poke. huhuhuhu i said poke. that actually meant a lot to me.

AND i got a voicemail from ass_ that was actually awesome.

i am ok. actually, i am better than ok because something just really phenomenal happened to me yesterday and now i am just srsly loving life.

if you can stomach going out on a worknight, i am spinning at the phantasy tonight!! oh, there might be this band called thoushaltnot there too. lookin forward to it.

i had an appointment in parma heights so i decided to save some gas. of course, when there is even just a *slight* chance of rain, if i am on my bike i will get caught in it. it always happens.

i was literally 500 feet from my destination when the deluge hit.

decided to hit the trail for the ride home. this was the first i have biked this week. i have been incredibly cranky because of that.

we all do realize that i'm not a raging cuntbag, correct?

if that answer is 'no': hey! i'm not a raging cuntbag.

really.

dumbass me thought she grabbed her bike shorts on the way out the door. no, it ended up being two shirts, so i could not go biking today. the amount of anger i feel about this is incredibly overwhelming. no, really. i was *pissed*. a phone convo with wraptboy helped me calm down. so boog and i went to the pool.

i have a chimpunk having its way with my garden. things are being put into place to prevent him from tearing more shit up. however, if i see his cute little furry face again, i will grab him by the tail and bash him against the wall until his cranial contents are nothing but a bloody stain against the brick.

....you think i'm kidding.

i will now perpetuate my woes of feeling fat today by going with boog to get ice cream. at least we're walking.

if you are like me and not able to have a grill, i would highly suggest this method for cooking your chicken.

parental units:

thanks to boog's mohonk, the kids at his sitter's have taken to calling him mr. t. boog thinks this is also funny. jeremy and i dont find it to be as such. i think the kicker here is that the sitter is doing it, too.

while it is a relatively harmless name, i am considering saying something to the sitter because i dont really think she should be condoning such behavior, much less participating in it herself. but i also dont want to seem over reactionary, either.

thoughts plz. also i dont need 52 comments about how everyone in your own neighborood is so accepting and liberal and how awesome this is. considering this is my only problem at the moment, i think i've got it pretty good.

dudes, this isnt about the name itself, its the intent behind the delivery.

2 hours 40 minutes thanks to a very crowded trail today.

i've only been biking for a little over a month now. i am proud of the progress i have made.

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:12:53 GMT

so you know how you start out on your bike at home and youre just chugging along and next thing you know you're in motherfucking akron?
yeah, its kinda like that.

i found myself alone today which is kinda sad. so i made a lot of food.

for starters:

guacamole that resembles poo when photographed and baked whole wheat tortilla chips. also pepper jack cheese.

main course:

my most brilliantly cooked steak to date. roasted veggies, and french fries.

and for dessert:

i didn't get enough raspberries from the bush outside so i added grapes and made sorbet. also i kept the seeds in. not all the way frozen yet but i couldnt wait any longer.

i met the lady who feeds the deer, turns out that she is in the apartment with the 4 zillion plants hogging the balcony. she gave me a heads up on the foliage outside, and the lowdown on our neighbors in the valley. she is pagan. i am not surprised by this.

THE STAR TREK EXPERIENCE IS CLOSING.
