Mounted deer heads galore

Mun Mun has been in Colorado for the past few days meeting more new in-laws to be. Here are some things I learned:

1. If you take a leak on one side of the Continental Divide it goes to the Pacific Ocean. If you take a leak on the other side it goes to the Atlantic Ocean.

2. I like a card game called Pitch.

3. Catching a llama is tricky.

4. Many caucasians live in Denver.

5. Squirrels are kind of assholish to chipmunks.

We passed a railroad in a canyon that looked like Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland.

We went to a town called Granby where a crazy welder ran amok in a homemade tank a few years ago over some building code dispute.

Colorado seems to have a rivalry with California that California is completely unaware of. California has Sees candy. That's all that matters.

Heartfelt Public Apology for Faux Pas

You could count the number of times I've smoked a cigarette of any kind on one hand. However, I do enjoy that funny handshake where you touch thumbs and pull your hands away and smoke imaginary doobies at the end of it. The question remains: Why did I choose to do that handshake with someone who is in AA for a marijuana addiction?

Argh!!!!

Possible answers:
a) I think towards the end of a nice engagement party for TK and me, I was a little addle-brained.
b) I am a complete idiot most of the time.
c) I am a lower companion deviously trying to get people hooked on drugs.
d) I was overwhelmed by his dudeness.

Such embarrassment!

I want to be the girl with the most [ice cream] cake

Had, like, the best dream ever this morning. Filled the bottom of a bowl with Sees Candy and then put Baskin Robbins ice cream on top. I was just about to eat it when the phone rang and woke me up. Thanks, Margaret.

Love Bubble

My cat, Milo, has always been a cat of action and not a lap cat. Lately he has been markedly more snuggly. I'm not sure what that's about. However, I don't feel that this level of affection is sustainable.

Unbridled Narcissism and Dullness

I know this is pathetic, but I love reading this blog's site meter to see how random strangers came across Mun Mun's Blog. Apologies to those of you who typed "Asaro Mudmen," "Pangea Ultima," and "Aztlan Rabbit" into a search engine and found this page. There is absolutely no useful information here about any of those topics!

Other searches that turned up this blog:

"Stinky Felix"
"Mun need my penis"
"the scab fairy"
"Al kinda"
"Super Yarn Mart"
"aphasias are in bloom"
"Hoppa Hoppa Reiter"
"My Dad Snores"
"Golden Toe Socks"

Today I'm getting my hair cut and returning some overdue library books. Please alert the media!
Pops screams so loud at traffic and inconvenient parking situations it rattles my bones.

More decadence

I've never been much of a drinker. After all these years, it turns out I just hadn't found the right drink. A couple of times at Lunaria's I've had these watermelon vodka martinis and they are so super good. It's like drinking a jolly rancher. I guess having a martini a couple of times per year is nothing compared to most folks. Hopefully I won't become my grandmother, screamingly drunk half the time. One might come across a bowl of punch spiked with watermelon liqueur and vodka at a certain upcoming event though...

Decadence

Still enjoying unemployment. Went over to Huntington Park to look for shoes to match my wedding dress. Oge turned me on to Huntington Park for clothes shopping several years ago. There is a formal wear shop every ten feet in Huntington Park. I guess it's because of all the Quince Anos celebrations in the Mexican American community. No luck with the shoes though. Apparently everyone orders the shoes? Hardly any of the bridal shops had shoes for sale and I couldn't get the straight dope because the shop people spoke only Spanish for the most part (or maybe they just hated this bincha vera). Perhaps satin shoes get soiled too easily. On the bright side, I'm happy to report there is now a drive through Starbucks in Huntington Park! Thank you, Magic Johnson! (Apparently Magic and something called Urban Coffee Opportunities are responsible) Finally a clean place to pee in Huntington Park without any hassle!

In other news, high school friend, Abby Travis has a new record out. Will have to check it out.

Brain slowly turning to mush

Spent the weekend with TK attending various parties and watching movies. A well-to-do friend of TK's has a crazy nice swimming pool with a hot tub and a waterfall. That hot tub was almost too luxurious and relaxing. I think if I had their backyard setup, nothing would ever get done again.

I wish I wasn't so terrible with faces and names. I have trouble remembering people I've met multiple times. There were two people I saw today that I had met on at least a couple of occasions apiece and I didn't remember them. Maybe at my little wedding reception I'll make everyone wear a "Hello, my name is..." sticker.

Rene L'amour is playing at Lunaria tonight!
