Nightmares, tornadoes, and Halloween

Monday, February 16th, 2009

The other night I had a nightmare that James aka Clown and I completely forgot to build anything for the Halloween party and it was two days before the party so we didn't have time to do anything worthwhile. We decided to have a theme that a tornado struck the house, although what's scary about a tornado other than the adrenaline-fueled hey there's wind and debris flying around at a million miles an hour and it could destroy my house type of scare, I don't know. So we started picking up trash and just throwing it everywhere and took a crowbar to one of the walls of the house and just made it so items of clothing and action figures and books were strewn throughout the house, put "Twister" on the TV, and just hoped that everybody would have fun anyways. Of course, nobody had fun because they were all reminded of the negative things that tornadoes symbolize, not the fun things like being able to shoot a straw through a tree, so everybody left by 9 and they all looked at me and shook their heads sadly as they left in one big group and I tried to explain and say, "But I forgot to decorate!" but that was a really lame excuse, and then James left and so did Amy, although she was probably just going out to walk the dog because she totally wouldn't leave me over a shitty party. Unless it was a really shitty party. After that, everybody shunned my blog because nobody wanted to read the tornado guy's blog anymore and so my blog died and since nobody was reading anymore I decided to go ahead and post my death post that I wrote in case of my death and so I posted it and then closed the blog so that anybody new who came and read it would think that I threw an awesome party and then died from awesomeness inflicted by the awesome party and then I woke up.

What I'm trying to say is that even though it's only two days after Valentine's Day (and my sister's birthday – happy birthday, Meagan!), I'm already starting to plan the Halloween party. And the date has been set.


Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 24th!

The rest of this post is behind an extended entry. (more…)

Super mondo big announcement!

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Last night I had a very strange dream: Dave from Blogography had a Blogography compound outside of Seattle. It was a multi-acre piece of land that sloped downhill all of the way to the interstate. Dave ran his entire Blogography empire from this compound.

Then, one day, the site no longer worked, and emails to his email address came back undeliverable. A large group of bloggers flew to the Blogography compound, only to meet with Dave and find out that he decided to close up shop after four years of blogging every day. The reason? He decided that blogging wasn't environmentally friendly, so he sold the compound to Al Gore.

Al Gore was there, and he had decided to make the compound into a park that had one long slide, much like a Slip-n-Slide. Except, since using all of that water was wasteful, it was a dry slide. As you can imagine, it didn't work very well.

I talked to him, and said, "Al Gore, you should visit my blog sometime. It's at Avitable.com." (For some reason kept referring to him as "Al Gore" instead of "Mr. Gore" or "Vice President Gore").

He laughed and said, very patronizingly, "Ohhhh, suuuure. I'll go check out your blog." He started randomly typing keys on the keyboard and pretending to type in my URL. For some reason, whatever random characters he typed went to a Christian Scientist site. He laughed at me, but I felt vindicated because his stupid slide idea didn't work.

Then, everybody got naked and danced to that song that they dance at the end of Caddyshack.

Weird, huh?

And now, for the super mondo big announcement!

It's almost Thanksgiving, and that means that Christmas is right around the corner. And that means that it's almost time for another round of Avitable Christmas cards!

If I was smart (well, I am) and organized (I'm totally not), I'd already have many of your addresses from when I sent out postcards. But I don't!

So, get sending! Email me at my first name at my last name dot com with the subject line "Santa is coming" with your name and address, and I will add you to the list. Santa won't be checking this list, so it doesn't matter if you're naughty or nice. Although naughty is better.

Email me by the end of next week to make sure you get added to the list!
