Scenes from a Saturday in Hollywood

This year, I think I’m truly an addict.  I’m on two Ultimate frisbee teams: Chronic Injury and East Van Halen.

EVH is still my true love, the people for whom I charge the batteries.  Chronic is, though, a hell of a lot of fun.  Even just with one wet, rainy, cold, slippery night behind us, I can tell these folks have spirit.  Also, we won both games.  That’s pretty sweet, and may explain my infatuation.  Thursday I’ll play my first EVH game, and if we win that, I’ll be in love with two teams. No problemo.

This week is a particularly busy one. I’m launching several sites and helping at Northern Voice.  I can’t say that my life is no fun these days—see above paragraph—but I can also say there’s a lot of social I wish I could be doing and a very little of it I’m actually doing; but I just can’t possibly fit it in.  If you’re reading this and you know I’m AWOL, I’m sorry.  If you don’t realize I’m talking about you, I’m doubly sorry.  And if you aren’t even reading this any more, well, who can blame you?

I did however, have a fabulous social surprise waiting for me tonight: Michelle and Aaron came by, bearing an entire dinner.  I think they were watching some rerun from the ‘50s and got confused about how people behave in the ‘10s.  It was an awesome treat, made possible by Susie’s tweet last night bemoaning the lack of dinner fairies.  Well, folks, Twitter does make dreams come true, if your dreams are of food elves and turkey dogs and rhubarb pie.  Mine are.  No seriously, they are.  I know Aaron and Michelle are having a rough week, which makes their gift all the more touching.

We ended the evening as all evenings now end, with The Watching of the Youtube Videos.  Overheard

“I swore with my hand on the Bible to uphold the Constitution. I didn’t swear with my hand on the Constitution to uphold the Bible.”

“Buy anything you want at the grocery store; cooking is always cheaper than eating out.”

“There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea.”

“Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”
