Scenes from Medea

[datlowen]

ABSTRACTI had written something last week but then didn't post it. You are all lucky because it sucked more than normal. Not that this post is any better because nothing else of note has happened, but at least I'm moving my pathetic last post down the chain a little bit. I watched a lot of movies. Hitler was a human! I hung out with undergraduates

So should I refriend wperoundup?

I de-friended it since it was no longer being used and was not listing me as a friend. I mean, I have to be cool and try to make my "friends" number < my "friends of" number. :)

[datlowen]

I totally do the same thing--try to balance my friends and friends of numbers.

But, yes, I think refriending the Roundup might be to your benefit.

tell me what the surprise is, because i am always sad to miss curling-related things!

unless it's what i think it is, but you don't play with that team on mondays, surely?

[datlowen]

I don't know what you think it is.

The SURPRISE, of which there are no pictures, sadly, was that my Monday team--Derek, me, Ron and Michael Campbell--curled in matching kilts and shirts. It was pretty hot. We lost, but we looked good doing it.

[darthfox]

what i thought it might be had to do with teams and uniforms, but it was about your squeal team and not your monday team.

and: so it won't be a surprise, but you should do it again some random time, and make sure there are pictures. (unless, i mean, you did it because it was the last night of monday league, and you won't be playing together again. in which case, bummer.)

Conveniently enough, because we lost, we ended the regular season in a tie with Scott's team. So we have to play them again next week. Voila!

There is a superstition about ripping out newspaper pages?

[datlowen]

Nah, it's my own personal superstition about taking the page for the day off the calendar before that day is over. On one of those page-a-day calendars. It's just a weird thing of mine.

[tm_gemini]

Ah, I see. That paragraph makes much more sense now that I know it's a daily calendar, and not the paper, you're talking about.

[datlowen]

Was it scary because of how hot it was? Or just intrinsically scary?

You're right about the plaid. The pattern is offically called "Buchanan," but it's the pattern they could get four of to us in a week.

I imagine it's pretty chilly to skip in, but otherwise it's quite comfortable.

[datlowen]

I'm glad it was entertaining. That was the idea!

Scottish clowns. Ha! Next time I'm totally bringing my red nose.

RA looked uncomfortable... All I have to say.

OK and he doesn't have the legs to wear a kilt...

[datlowen]

Har. Well, he does have some pretty stiff competition on his team.

Although I can't say as that I noticed. HMM.
