Friday night was a good time.  Spent most of the night (early morning) out at a Christmas in July party.  There was abundant food, which was a good place to start.  Good friends, which is a good place to continue, and a gift exchange, which is agood place to finish.  Apparently this is a yearly thing, though this is the first time I’ve had the chance to take part.  I was warned ahead of time that the gift exchange (which takes place after all the kiddos get get booted out) can get somewhat raunchy.  I can handle that.  What did worry me was that right before we did it, the additional stipulation that you had to model anything apparel that you got…that one had me a little worried.  As it turned out, it was far tamer than I had been led to believe…at least this year.  Mine was really more of a grab bag of innocuous articles.  Although there was a litle bungie cord in it that I might save for…later.

I cracked up at the gift I brought though.  I didn’t really have enough time to go hunt down a gift or anything, so I mostly just grabbed a box and filled it with stuff.  Like anything I could find.  I will try to itemize it all for you:  a 2003 phonebook, 2 candles (unused), a mini shoeshine kit (made in China), a hat, a picture of me (unsigned), a 30 year old bottle of some random wine (unopened and very undrinkable), a book light, a blank CD, an army hat, and a Pizza Hut reciept.  I think that’s everything.  It was funny because as she pulled the stuff out, it was like the bottomless box of uber-crap.  I couldn’t hardly keep my composure with the CD though:
Sarah: "Is there like music or something on it?"
Me: "No, it’s blank!"
Granted, this isn’t nearly as funny reading it and I recognize that and am sorry, but at the time I thought it was hilarious.  So did most everyone.  Next year will be even better though.  I will begin taking suggestions any time.

So I went to see Clerks II last night.  I believe I mentioned a while back reading a review that nearly put the fear of god in me with regards to this movie.  I have now decided to call shenanigans on the site that wrote it though.  If you really feel the need read it, go here.  Having seen it though, I think the article was either a joke, they saw a different film, or they’re just complete idiots.  My money is on one and three.  Yes, both of them.  In reality, the site has almost no reviews on it, but I didn’t bother checking that originally.  So, shenanigans.  Shenanigans, shenanigans, shenanigans.  Cruel and tragic shenanigans.  I blame Shannon, she showed the "review" (shenanigans) to me originally.  The movie was great.  Was it the first one?  No.  Was it awesome anyway?  Yes.  Go see it, I shant spoil anything for you right now.

I really like Madden 2006.  In case you were wondering.
