The One With Movie, Halloween and Baseball Stuff

[cabenson]

Just when I start to feel better from that flu thing I had a month ago, I get hit with a cold. I feel a bit like Michael Corleone from "Godfather III". I just can't stay away.

So my throat is all scratchy and my ears itch. And my voice, husky enough naturally, has become quite Sling Blade like. Every time I have to clear my throat, the words of Karl Childers run through my febrile mind. And of course, it makes Mrs CB laugh.

Mrs CB: What do you want for dinner
Me: (clears throat) Some a dem french-fried taters be awful nice mmmmmhmmmmmm
Mrs CB: Oh god. Not again with the Sling Blade.
Me: How bout some a dat potted meat too, if ya got any extry mmmmmhmmmmmm
Mrs. CB: (stares at me with mock concern and decides to see if I still have a fever)
Me: Some folks calls it a kaiser knife mmmmhmmmmmm, I calls it a nanner knife on a counts it's shaped like a nanner. mmmmmhmmmmmmm (proceeds to chase Mrs CB throughout the house)

Oh fun times. My best friend and I got drink once and did a conversation between Marge from Fargo, The Rain Man, Karl Childers and Ren & Stimpy. Oh sweet bachelor days...

It's Thursday...I have three days off. I have to start carving pumpkins. The centerpiece for the party next week will be a Martha Stewart pumpkin in a small cage. (I think she got a raw deal in light of the Enron boys, but prisoners are fair game to me). I need to find a skirt(Ick!!) for my costume. I am going as Mary Katherine Gallagher (SNL/Superstar). Mrs CB, refusing to go as a tree for me to make out with, is going as my nun bitch. If I can't find my costume, then I'll go as "Stuart" from madTV. I like to do his voice...especially at work. I don't wanna say. I need to make my tombstones tomorrow as well so I can get them painted. Mmmmmm....jigsaw love!!

Oh...I fixed the curtain rod snafu from last weekend. I can hear the sighs of relief. Thanks.

So...NL, I guess I'll go with St. Louis. I don't think I can ever get over the hideous uniforms the Astros wore when I was growing up. Ever!

I'm with you on St. Louis. I've spent enough time hanging out there to know it's an ok place to cheer for, especially since my Cubs are out (stupidfuckingnorthsideboys with no follow-through).

Yeah!!! We picked a winner! Now...do I pick St. Louis or Boston to win the WS?

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

You shall pick St. Louis or feel my wrath, wench!

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

I don't know...your wrath amuses me.
Hmmm...this makes my decision all the more difficult.

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

your wrath amuses me

That makes several hundred of us. I'll be over as soon as I'm done disciplining H. She will crumble the second I start singing "Super Trouper" by ABBA.

TOUGH choice! I'm with St. Louis on the hometown (ok, closetown) thing, but Boston does have the coolest scene in contemporary accoustic women's music... How about if I cheer on St. Louis, and you cheer on Boston? That seems fair.

[returnofpiper.livejournal.com]

Yes, go with St. Louis. Because I'm from St. Louis and it would be super fun to have a World Series here, PLUS as a joke, my Criminal Law prof put on his syllabus that we'd not have class during any Red Sox home games. Well, now he's going to have to live up to that joke. And if it's a Cards/Sox series, he can't say "Oh, I meant when the Red Sox were playing here, not home as in Boston." We can't lose.

I think that made sense.

Hope you get out of some classes!

I'll be the tree! I'll be the tree!

You are crazy. But I wanna see pics of this pumpkin. I think it made a guest appearance in my dream last night ... weird.

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

I'll be the tree! I'll be the tree!
Yeah! I have a groupie!

Pics will be posted as son as we get them developed...unless I just say fuck it and go get a dig cam before then...which I probably will.

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

You liked them?

Okay...it's probably the orange red and yellow combo that bothers me [/light sensitive]. But I do like their current jerseys.

[maroukian.livejournal.com]

AND...?

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

and nothing. Considering our friends were here at the time ;)

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

ok, you managed to get out of it gracefully...

[aqua-blurr.livejournal.com]

Okay, what's weird is that I got H's post that she said wasn't on anyone's friends page (I saw it before she posted saying it didn't appear), but none of your posts are ever on my freinds page. Ever. And I have checked that you are listed on my Default View repeatedly. Hrmph.

I'm jealous of and impressed by your Halloween enthusiasm and creativity. I can never get excited until the last minute. Like an hour or two before a Halloween party. Mrs. Blurr and I usually end up going as lesbians. :D

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

That is really weird. I got your posts. Maybe you are hallucinating and never actually friended me. Or...there is a wicked unfriender/hacker amoungst us, trying to stir up Dyke drama...

Mrs. Blurr and I usually end up going as lesbians.
I met Mrs CB 5 years ago at this same person's house. I was wearing a t-shirt that said "I slept with Xena". When people asked me who I was dresse up as, I said, "Gabrielle". She thought that was cute and I was cute too...that's why we really like halloween so much...it was when we met.

[aqua-blurr.livejournal.com]

...trying to stir up Dyke drama...

Eh, no, I think it's just me. I logged out and checked my f-page--you're there. I log in, pffft--you're gone. I did something stupid somewhere....

And, hello, that's so sweet a how-i-met-my-girl story! Awwwww!
