Poll #1470915 Halloween Colors Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: Friends, participants: 7 Is purple a Halloween color? Yes. No. Eh. Why is purple a Halloween color? It's not, so stop saying it is. This only happened in like the last twenty years or so. The only reason it might be inculded is because it's the closest color to "black." It's always been a Halloween color. Shit BONERZ |

So the Julie and I went to Sushi Nara, billed at Michigan's ONLY (or maybe by now 1st) conveyor-belt sushi restaurant. It works exactly how you'd figure -- plates of sushi roll by your table and you pluck what you want from it. First a little sign rolls by with the name and the type of roll, and then the small covered plate o' sushi. It's full of variety, reasonably priced, and was pretty tasty on top of being fairly amusing. Behold, the greatest sushi roll evar! |

Spring is here! Yardwork abounds. I was on my usual May vacation the last two weeks of the month; in the first week, I got a lot of home repair and such done. I replaced some trim along our doorwall, added a new cellular shade to one of our downstairs windows, replaced a bunch of old, loose electrical outlets, and macgyvered a loose window screen into place. I also went walking/jogging every day, enough to lose a little poundage that I'd be getting back in the second week of vacation (the Julie and I's trip to Chicago, which is its own post).

April was so nondescript that it took me this long to remember to do this. Beyond waiting for some actual spring to happen, yardwork, and NBA/NHL playoffs, not much is happening. I read: |

| Blessings to iTunes for allowing me to obtain Ghost of a Chance (live) for a dollar as opposed to buying a CD full of stuff I already own. Also, approbation to YouTube for the video from the tour -- wherein Alex melts your face off during the solo. | ||

I went to our local Popeye's yesterday after work due to a "8 pieces o' chicken for 4.99" promotion. As you might expect, they were very busy. As you might not expect, they were not participating in the promotion. This made several people very, very angry. I, luckily, am blessed in that I can afford to pay regular price for the chicken, and I escaped before any punches were thrown. This made me late to visit my LCS, and I figured I missed out on the first issue of VIKING, but friendly retailer guy had one behind the desk that he was willing to sell to a regular, so all ended well. |

So last week, after months of badgering by the Julie, I finally broke down and got some new glasses to replace my over-ten-year-old specs. I figure hey, I'll get home after this and surprise her with them as I walk in the room! Well, it was a good plan, but -- she didn't notice them. So we went out to eat and I figure now that we're like 3 feet apart and ostensibly looking at each other as we have a conversation over our meal that she'll suddenly get this look on her face and notice! But alas, it was not to be. I kept on wanting to crack up laughing, which only made things worse because she kept wondering why I was smiling so much. Anyways, this goes on throughout the night -- at one point she was inches away from my face -- and she goes to bed, so I leave a Twitter hint for her. The next morning, having found the Lenscrafters bag near my desk in the office, she came upstairs to wake me up: J: "So what was this I was supposed to notice?" D: *feign ignorance* J: "Could it be... THESE GLASSES!" *points to nightstand* *cue dramatic music* That's my Junior Batman! Anyways, here's a pic of the new glasses in action as I help some student (buy a ShamWow). |

My time was spent waiting for and then enjoying March Madness, spending plenty of time with my homies I read: Now I got to hope for the best and pray that our work reorganization resolves itself with me still gainfully employed. |

Not much more to report this month; still waiting for spring. Playing Bioshock and WoW; watched Super Bowl and now getting prepped for March Madness -- hoping my team can put a couple of wins together and get back into the tournament. I read:
