What’s Up With The Apostrophe?

I’ve seen a lot of people calling today Hallowe’en. I’ve been around the sun forty times now and this is the first year I have seen people use the apostrophe. What gives? Is this the new X-Mas?

I wish I was this clever

Holy fuck I need to get some photo editing skills. My pictures are all too damn dark (btw, when I used the cheesy flash on my camera phone it completely washed out the text)

Off The Grid Saturday
I stumbled upon FAB‘s sticker while participating in a pub crawl through East Atlanta Friday night. The crawl went down like this… home (1 beer) -> Flatiron (2 beers) -> EARL (1 beer) -> East Side Lounge (1 beer) -> Mary’s (1 beer) -> Gravity Pub (3 beers — I think).

As you can imagine I wasn’t feeling very chipper when I woke up on Saturday, so I decided to spend the day on the couch. The other plan in place was to be ‘off my grid.’ I answered no phone calls, didn’t watch the GA/FL game (although I did watch a lot of previously-recorded tv), napped, ate, and napped again. I finally got off my ass and showered at 5pm.

Jesus Fucking Christ! Who Are These Kids?
During the pub crawl my friend Bill gave me a ticket to Saturday night’s Thrashers game.

My plan was to exercise my Marta Pass and take Marta to Philips Arena. However, with the weather being so beautiful on Saturday I decided to walk from the Inman Marta station to Philips Arena. I really needed the exercise; the 2.9 mile walk took me approximately fifty minutes. It made those jumbo beers go down so much easier.

When I made it into CNN Center I was overwhelmed with the number of kids dressed in brightly colored shirts (I saw these kids riding Marta on Friday as well). I found out that these kids were all a part of some huge convention called the National Catholic Youth Conference. Mmmmm Catholic school girls….

Oh, the game was a blast eventhough the Thrashers lost 3-2.

Sunday Is A Hashing Day
With no Falcons or Jets game on the tube I decided to get out for some more activity yesterday. My drug of choice was the Black Sheep Hash. While I thoroughly enjoyed the trail, I had a encounter with a briar (I think you can see who won)

Since that was the worst injury I suffered things weren’t too bad.

Oh Yeah, How Could I Forget?
IT’S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR! WooHoo!!! I know that Georgia was playing with a backup quaterback, but a win’s a win! WooHoo!!!

And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal…
Current Mood – seemed like a long weekend, that makes me happy!
Current Music – Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 26 playing The Velvet Underground — “Femme Fatale”
Website Of The Day – The intro cartoon was taken from Toothpaste For Dinner.

If you ever want a quick glance of the sites I’ve picked for my Websites Of The Day, you can check them out on del.icio.us, my user name is InsideThePerimeter (go figure), and they are all tagged as “blogged.”

Exercise (b)Log – walking Saturday, hashing Sunday
