Here it is, midnight on Sunday and I'm left scratching my head. Where did the weekend go?
Saturday:
- Up at 7, went out for breakfast. Mmmm, blueberry pancakes.
- Watched Friday night's Monk and Dr. Who
- Went swimming. Ass got a bit burned.
- Watched half of Kitchen Confidential on DVD.
- Worked on my new vlog intro animation.
- Did my usual work.
Sunday:
- Up at 7. Started working.
- Worked until 10. Started reading Harry Potter.
- Finished Harry Potter at 1:30. Watched Friday night's Psych.
- Watched my wife paint our refrigerator.
- Went swimming.
- Watched the rest of Kitchen Confidential on DVD while I got Postcard Hell orders ready to ship.
- Wrote this tripe.
I had such a long list of things I wanted to do, too, like cleaning my office (it's an absolute pigsty right now), replying to about 180 emails, creating a new postcard design for Postcard Hell, work on relaunching IT2M, etc., etc. Sigh. I need one more day. Or maybe two. Or three.
Regarding Harry Potter - I'm not going to spoil it, but it was a decent read, and a good way to end the series. It's just as hackneyed and clumsily written and cliched as the other books, but it's still fun to read as long as you don't try to be too critical.
Oh, and I seriously contemplated finding a place that would wax a man's balls. If I had a handheld video camera, I would go down there and have them do it while I recorded my face during the procedure. But, alas, I don't. Oh well.
Anybody do anything interesting this weekend?

Thanks for not spoiling HP. I'm not done yet. (I might be if I didn't have to get stitches today.
)
I think it's a very slow read though.
Comments by heather
I'm amazed by how fast you read! I wish I could, but I lose the "feeling" of a book if I read it to fast.
Comments by Geeky Tai-Tai
No.
Comments by Amy
Does cleaning out my closet and laundry count?
Comments by Amy
Monk was HEE-LARIOUS this week!
They way they had him talking "hood" with Snoop Dog cracked me up.
I love when White people do that!
Comments by Mistress
Wife painting the refrigerator?
Comments by Trish K
Heather, stitches? What happened? I didn't think HP was a slow read, though - it seemed to be pretty action packed.
Geeky, I'm usually still as engrossed in the book and the environment when I read that fast if it's an easy read. With a difficult book, I have to slow down or I'll miss some parts.
Amy, yeah, how interesting!
Mistress, fo shizzle.
Trish K, yup. She decided to paint it silver. It looks pretty good!
Comments by Avitable
I have never heard of anyone painting a refigerator before.
I don't know where my weekend went either. I need an extra day to catch up.
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
If "painting our refrigerator" isn't the best euphemism I've ever heard, I don't know what is.
We went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
Comments by Wayne
Ummm, you read as fast as I do. Plus if I start a book, I have a hard time putting it down until I'm finished with it.
Comments by ADW
Okay, I gotta ask:
How do you burn your ass swimming?
(I know I'll regret this)
Regarding HP, I'm getting it today. I hope the "leaked version" was not the proper version.
Comments by Mike
Mr. Fabulous, me either. My wife also painted the couch out on the lanai that you guys sat on when you came and visited.
Wayne, if I wasn't still dizzy from the paint fumes, I'd agree.
ADW, with speed reading and my natural geniusnessosity, I read faster (with almost full comprehension) than anyone I've ever known. And I usually have to finish a book once I pick it up, too.
Mike, the leaked version was the proper version. And I think if you really think about how I might have burned my ass in our private pool (did you see the pictures in yesterday's post?), you'll know the answer.
Comments by Avitable
Your wife paints the refrigerator? What an odd thing to do.
Comments by MsFreud
The "Pimping for a vote" post? There's pictures of your pool in that post???
Sorry, I've been out of town for the week-end, I'm catching on the posts out of order... I figured it was something like that (bare ass swimming), I guess I need a second coffee today. ;-)
Comments by Mike
Oh. Because of the stains I left there? I SAID I was sorry.
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
MsFreud, she decided that she didn't like the color, and it's not worth buying a new one yet.
Mike, yeah, but here's the link: http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=117944694&size=o.
Mr. Fabulous, no, it was painted when you guys were here! And the semen just washed off with warm water, so you're forgiven.
Comments by Avitable
Wow, nice pool.
If I want to burn my ass swimming, I have to do it at the park's pool with the kids.
Sucks for HP. I'll still re-read it today. ;-)
Comments by Mike
It was 50% semen and 50% pus. I've had some issues.
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
I had The Wonder Twins written on with a Sharpie.
Comments by Mistress Yoda
geniusnessosity???
Uh, que?
Is that like Lochnessnossity? Are you now comparing yourself to a sea serpent instead of a gorilla?
Comments by ADW
You think you read faster than me???
And I LOVED Monk this week too.
I got a pamposan (no idea how to spell it, one of those wicker bowl chairs) for $5 through craigslist, that was reasonably exciting
Comments by Julianne
I did interesting things but I'm not telling what they were.
(Lying, nothing interesting.)
Comments by Poppy
Mike, bare-ass swimming at the park's pool? Sounds like a good plan!
Mr. Fabulous, the dog must have cleaned up the pus, because we didn't notice that.
Mistress Yoda, what was written on them?
ADW, it's the natural state of being a genius. I can make up words - it's one of our rights.
Jules, yes, I do. You naturally read fast, just like I did, but then I also had additional training, which honed my skills. A papasan for $5 is a good deal - those things are expensive new.
Poppy, nothing? No fist fights or gun battles?
Comments by Avitable
Well, I did watch The 4400 and Brisco County, Jr because I do whatever you tell me to do. Plenty of action in those...
Comments by Poppy
You can see it on my flickr. I think one thing said Wish You Were Here.
Comments by Mistress Yoda
You weekend sounds like it was very nice.
Comments by themuttprincess
I picked a fight with Ted Turner, and then watched Psych, Burn Notice and Monk.I loved seeing him wearing a grill!
Comments by metalmom
I don't know about your fine state but, where I live, the state board that regulates cosmetology (and firearms and livestock) prohibits testicle waxing. Seriously. I've done my research.
Yes. I have a lot of free time.
Comments by Mist 1
Why do you only talk about the stuff you do with "that" wife?
Comments by Miss Britt
Don't mind me, I'm just seeing if you're blocked to my work station.
Guess you ain't!
Comments by RW
How do you paint a refrigerator?
I missed Monk!!
J.
Comments by HoosierGirl5
It took me about the same amount of time to read HP and I liked it too. Won't read it again or anything, but it was fun, and a good ending.
I will undertake to find and send you a handheld video camera if you find a place that will wax your balls. I pinky swear.
Comments by Tracy Lynn
Poppy, that's true. And those are some good shows!
Mistress Yoda, just checked it out. Very nice!
TMP, I got a quite a bit of work done, so that was good.
Metalmom, I can't get into Burn Notice. I have the last few episodes saved, but I don't know if I'm going to watch them.
Mist, yeah? Well, do you freelance?
The Brittstress, give me about two weeks and we'll see who I'm talking about all the time.
RW, that's good. It would be ridiculous if my innocent lil' blog was blocked!
HG5, practice? No, that's how you get to Carnegie Hall.
Tracy, yeah? Can I keep it?
Comments by Avitable
you're taking over IT2M? I had no idea! That's very cool though because I really miss that site. :)
btw, how did your ass get burned? you weren't wearing a speedo, were you??
Comments by Webmiztris
Dawn, think for a second. Under which circumstances could I get my ass burned? And no, I wasn't wearing a speedo.
Comments by Avitable
Pfft. Whatever. You're the worst bigamist in history. Constantly trying to get us to battle it out, setting me up to be the scapegoat.
If you had it your way we'd fight each other to the death, leaving you with all the insurance money.
I'm on to you, dogfucker.
Comments by Miss Britt
Work interferes way to much with my free time. I vote for longer weekends!
Comments by Lynda
Okay, so I left a comment and lost it, as I usually do. And it was witty and funny, and it took me a long time to write, because my eyes kept drifting up to the bouncin' boobies and the booty. I mean that ass must be jam, cuz jelly don't shake like dat.
So the jist of my first comment was that you read the book faster than I (4 1/2 hours) and I went on a motorcycle ride w/my hubby and friends. Oh, and my pool is lame, but my 8 person hot tub, ROCKS!!
Comments by Princess Victoria
I haven't read any of the books, but, will you email me and tell me how it ends? I'm just curious. Lazy and curious.
Comments by usedtobeme
Shaken not Britted, yeah, but then I'd get the little shits, too. You can't trick me into killing you!
Lynda, well, if it's was purely about business, I'd be for no weekends, to be honest.
Victoria, I'll have to take your word for it on the wit. And I read faster than anyone I know, so don't feel bad. My wife won't let me get a hot tub until we get a below ground one. She won't get an aboveground tub no matter how much I beg!
Usedtobeme, sure.
Comments by Avitable
Overachiever. LOL
Comments by Lynda
I finally reupholstered the chair I've been trying to get done. Cleaned. Laundry. No excitement for me.
Comments by Tug
I got an Eagle on the Wii Golf game - par 3. Hit it from 40 yards off the flag pole and chiped in in the hole. WOWZA
Comments by Cheri
Getting work done is important. And good.
Comments by themuttprincess
All this talk about which two bloggers would produce the cutest kids... well, it's inspired me.
I've definitely made my decision. Come to my blog and see my Sculpey of the love child of Avitable and Fab...
Comments by Janna
Hello,
We would like to do an interview with you about your blog for
FUCKING SPAM . We'd like to give you the opportunity to
give us some insight on the "person behind the blog."
It would just take a few minutes of your time. The interview form can
be submitted online at FUCKING SPAM.
Best regards,
Mike Thomas

Comments by Mike Thomas
We must have been on the same wavelength or something this weekend, for I finished HP #7 last night and I watched the Kitchen Confidential DVDs too. (Not at the same time though, too distracting) Both were quite enjoyable....
Comments by bdogg_mcgee
Did you just call my kids little shits??
You are not allowed to call them that unless you are going to shake them soundly afterwards and then pay their tuition in a pathetic effort to assuage your own guilt.
Comments by Miss Britt
Lynda, I am, indeed. It's part of owning your own business.
Tug, yeah, that sounds boring as hell!
Cheri, have you ever gotten a Birdie? Because I have!
TMP, it pays the bills!
Janna, you are a fucking genius!
Mike Thomas, with 300 posts in little over 30 days and a clear desperate attempt at building pagerank quickly and artificially to earn money from PPP, I think I'll pass on the spamming.
Bdogg, really? Clearly, us smart people think alike.
Dead and Brittied, I'll only call them little shits if you leave them to Amy and I and we will have to take care of them.
Comments by Avitable
I think maybe I must be missing something in your question Avi...since an eagle is better than a birdie in golf. Somehow I think we're not talking about golf anymore. lol
Comments by Cheri
Isn't a Birdie two strokes? You can tell that the only golf I play is limited to my Wii. Do you mean you got a hole-in-one?
Comments by Avitable
No my dear Avi. A birdie is one stroke under par and an eagle is 2 strokes under par. So on a par 4 course an eagle would be 2 strokes a birdie would be 3 strokes. lol
Comments by Cheri
So what I did is hit the ball 2 times to get it in the hole. I chiped it in from 40 or so yards. I did it again last night - only last night I only got a birdie instead of an eagle. An eagle is the best you can do after a hole in one.
Comments by Cheri
The only sport I know anything about is billiards.
You did say that you got an Eagle on a par 3 - so, is that a hole-in-one?
Comments by Avitable
I might have - oops typo. Sorry! Now I understand why you thought it'd be a hole in one - I WISH! If that ever happens you won't hear that end of me bragging about it. As it is my 9 yr old is better than me now. I was kicking his butt all weekend but he got to practice for 2 days and last night he beat me. Ugh!!
Comments by Cheri
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_glossary
Birdie: one shot under par
Eagle: two shots under par
Albatross: three shots under par (aka Double Eagle)
I love wii golf.
Comments by Wayne
IT2M???
Yay!!!!!!!!!!
Comments by annie
i WANT to see the video of you getting your balls waxed! you need to get on that asap!
Comments by dog collar addict
Cheri, I'm pretty decent at it. I wish they had more levels or fields or greens or whatever they're called.
Wayne, clearly.
Annie, it's still in the cards, yes.
DCA, we'll see if it happens.
