| When the rain comes ... »
- Friday was our homecoming game. For the first time this year, the entire family went as a unit. It was a pretty good night as far as family time goes. We went to support Ray Gunn who is in the band. They were supposed to put on a good halftime show.
I gotta tell you, it's a good thing the band is pretty good because the football team SUCKS ASS! We have lost every game this year ... in fact, we've only scored 17 points the whole year. We suck. So you'd figure for homecoming, they'd schedule some scrub team in to ensure they got a win, right? That's the way it normally works but not us. We scheduled a team, the Eunice Tigers to be exact, and they came in and stomped our asses 36 to zip. It was truly sad. The team and coaching staff looked like they wished they were anywhere else ... no emotion, just ... resignation. Oh well, there's always next year I suppose.
A funny thing I noticed though. When they introduced the homecoming court and told the girl's favorite pastimes, there was the normal shit like "I like to text and hang out wth my friends. I like Myspace." But the funniest thing I heard was that all of them, every last one of them, listed (drumroll please ...) hunting as a favorite thing to do. Hunting ... with guns ... and small animals. I guess I have a confession to make. My name is Tommy. I am a redneck and I live in Hickville, U.S.A. Thanks for noticing. Oh and they took so much time on the homecoming court that the band didn't even get to perform their show. PISSED. ME. OFF.
Here's a picture of Ray Gunn in his uniform anyway.
- Overheard in my great aunt's living room as we were watching a TV commercial for new TVs: Him: "Well look at the picture on that one. It's much better than ours." Her:"I think you're right! It does look better."
- I've been taking a web design class and a CSS class on the web lately and am really learning a lot. I have been tinkering with my template, just doing some minor things. I have found out that "website coding time" is the same as "darkroom time." I look up and it's freaking 3 in the morning and I have no idea how it got to be that late. Psycho, huh? Just to let you know, my links are no longer underlined but they will be italicized so if you see italics, chances are it's a link. They are also red which might be a dead giveaway. I'm not sure.
I am wanting to put drop-down link boxes for my blogroll, archives and other sidebar stuff that could get long. If anyone can help me with the code for that, I would certainly appreciate it. Hell, there might even be sexual favors in it for ya! Riiiiiiiight! E-mail me please if you can help and I will forever be in your debt. Thanks.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints both won today so there is joy in the Gunn household tonight. And speaking of joy ...
- It's cool, drizzly and overcast and I have a huge pot of homemade chicken and choriso gumbo (made from scratch ... not out of a box or bag) on the stove. I'm about to tuck into it with great gusto and relish. Oh and did I mention I have a homemade lemon cheesecake (from scratch again) for desert with peanut brittle ice cream? Friends I tell you, life rarely gets better than this. Have a great Sunday and get some sleep tonight. I have it on good authority that some of you actually have to work tomorrow. Pffft! The nerve of some bosses. Well, I'll be thinking of you. Ciao dahlings!
