My allergies really kicked me in the face today. From the moment I woke up until even now - just sneezing, nose running, itchy roof of my mouth… and then the general haze that accompanies being congested, let alone taking allergy medicine. Part of the problem is that I took it too late in the day (a few hours after waking up.) I need to take it as soon as I wake up so that the faucet of snot that is my nose, never turns ON. Because once it turns on, the only medicine that seems to work also makes me drowsy - the non drowsy stuff won’t stop the onslaught of nasal fluid, and it laughs at the strongest decongestant I can take at that point.
So. We signed up on twitter (a while ago) but never really ever posted messages until now. However… over the past two days, and after actually ‘following’ a group of people we know in real life - it’s more interesting. So. Hey, follow us and whatever else you call it on twitter - our name is of course, LeahAndMark. We also signed up on plurk - another micro-blogging type of system - except you sit on it all day long and have conversations? I don’t know. I tried it this week and it seemed like A LOT more effort than twitter. So we’ll see how that goes.
We cooked up some gyoza (jiaozi in Chinese) here at the house sitting kitchen. They came out pretty good… of course we cheated but still… making them from scratch would be… well, the only thing we really make from complete scratch is anything that Leah feels like baking. Still - they were good and we’ll probably have some tomorrow night when our friends Rick & Amanda come over for some dinner, some Wii, and whatever else we can dig up to do for a few hours before Monday arrives the next morning.
And still.. have a great night.
Last night after dinner we made our way over to The Basement Theater for their… Friday night Drive-Improv! The nights’ movie was Friday the 13th (appropriately) and basically, the idea is Mystery Science Theater 3000 - without the puppetry - and Live. Fortunately, the people with the mics are pretty funny and that + alcohol makes for a really good time for the entrance fee of only $5.00 (they sell drinks but then it’s also BYOB! - and oh, Adam & Gretchen brought big coolers full of beer & wine.) Oh. And a group of Yelpers were also there. Sorry for the grainy low-light-ness of these indoor shots. (Notice the S’more-tini there that Leah’s drinking.)
So. Who knew that Friday the 13th (the original!) was so funny. I mean, I kind of understood how BAD it was - but that’s different from being Hilarious + alcohol fueled audience energy = and well… if we were worried about it not being funny, we didn’t have to worry at all once the movie started. However, as fun as it was to watch the movie, I got the best pictures outside with the mannequin.
And now… let’s get to the um, other ones.
Hahaha. See Lauren there trying to edge out of the shot - there’s no escaping my camera! AND Finally -
Sadly, Kit here is the reason for my most “popular” photo on Flickr that got me on Explorer AND garnered the most views and comments - out of all nearly 2,500 photos… this one is my most ‘popular’ shot. Here for the comments on this photo.
So yeah. That was fun.
It’s Saturday! Lots of supposed cleaning may go on (highly unlikely) since we’re moving in 3 weeks. Plus I have homework, plus we need to go to the mall apparently, plus regular work (leftover stuff I need to get done), plus workout! (since ya know, all this food adds up on the inside and then the outside!) So have a great day and see us again tomorrow.
