From Whimper To Bang
It was another pleasant weekend in Hubsville. It started off with a whimper. After work on Friday I went immediately home and proceeded to lie on the couch all night. I watched A Simple Plan, which was relatively good. It certainly confirmed my enjoyment of Billy Bob Thorton’s acting and had some enjoyable aspects but belongs firmly in the “wait for it to come on video” category. Or you can do as I did and just catch it on the USA channel or something. I was in bed by like 9:30.
On Saturday I got up early and drove to my moms house were we all met for a ride down to the springs to visit my grandma and celebrate thanksgiving, cause here in Hubsville we celebrate holidays when it convenient, not because the calendar tells us too. We had a large turkey, mashed potatoes, greenbeen casserole, stuffing, salad, yams, and pumpkin pie. It was your all American t-day dinner. My brother, Pandy, and I spent a couple of hours rummaging threw my grandmas stuff. My brother came away with a couple of my grandpa’s old suits, which were really cool. I came away with two full photo albums of my baby pictures. My brother was humorously pissed that I had two photo albums of baby pictures and he didn’t have any. I guess that’s one advantage of being the first born son.
Afterwards we hurried back to town and I took off to Hecklers graduation party. It was nice. Somehow I was able two fit two bowls of chili in my stomach while there. I was nice to see him cause it’s been more than a few months. AP also showed up with his family. I took a shine to his boy who was a five-year-old spazz with a toy Tarzan spear.
After the graduation I went to the Beaches for a housewarming/holiday party. The party was huge with two kegs of beer and an open bar and tons to eat. The beaches house is enormous, something like five bedrooms, and they’re angry that all the neighbors asked them how many kids they have and not if they have any kids at all. At around midnight the debauchery started with beer-pong and quickly digressed from beer-pong-without-pants-on to basement dancing to their new Booty Time cd. It always good when the host ends up passing out in a chair with nothing on but his boxers, a t-shirt, and a Santa hat. I ended up not getting home till the wee hours of the morning.
Most of Sunday morning was spent sleeping in. I ran some errands, gots me’s hairs cut, and did some x-mas shopping. In the evening I went over to my moms. She was having a get together cause she had friends in from Australia. They were really cool and had the uncanny ability to make fun of everything and everybody without making anyone feel bad about it. It was wonderful.

lotus - “taking the piss out of people” is a wodefully rare (or rarely wonderful) gift that aussies seem particularly adept at.
