Transylvania 6-5000

Thanks J-mo for tracking down the "Transylvania 6-5000" Bugs Bunny cartoon (wow, that first aired in 1963...oh, well...good humor is timeless, I guess). Since halloween is coming, we need to do something like get a group together and watch old Halloween stuff...WOOT! Bugs Bunny halloween specials, Simpsons' "Treehouse of Terror" episodes, whatever...

Today was a pretty productive day. Got the living room all straightened out, and now I'm working on the bonus room. Stacey's off tomorrow, we have no plans, so maybe we'll both get more done than usual... And my PC's almost completely back up and running (now i'm down to just re-installing everything and "tidying" up the case and the work area).

Anyhoo... we had our weekly gathering at Guadelajara tonight. A fun time again. Eli's mom was back with us this week, as were Matthew and Meredith. To top it off, Eric and Wendy joined us for the fun. Kyle wasn't there, so we guess he was hanging with his 'real' friend(s) at Applebee's...WOOT! Either that or he was swamped with yet another video project. Or...it was simply past his bedtime ;-).

Jalapenos, margaritas, salsa, chips, fajita meat...throw in a sense of humor, and you have a great time! After we ate, we roamed the mall. We visited EB Games, the arcade, and the mens' bathroom at Sears (ironically, I had to spend most of the time there...LOL). I know...TMI... While I was "out of commission," the rest of the group played games in the arcade or roamed various stores. Wow, except for US, the mall is a very dead place on a Monday night...even more depressing than normal.

Also, being a true Simpsons fan, I picked up a used copy of Simpsons: Hit and Run for the Gamecube. Mix Grand Theft Auto III with Springfield, and there you go... (if you don't know what Springfield is, I have seasons 2 and 3 of the Simpsons on DVD should you want to catch up on the incredible humor you've been missing out on).

The latest on Donny was that he was improving a bit in spirits, if not in symptoms (he's still fighting pneumonia). We're still praying that he pulls through all this okay.

KEY PHRASES OF THE DAY: "Quick, Elizabeth...we need chlorine." "Jonathan...usually the babies throw up on YOU." "Can you give someone a hickey through a straw?" (Jonathan): "Meredith, I'm macking on your sister." "Better be careful, or we'll be collecting a 'bail-bond' offering at church on Sunday."
