JOURNAL: Weekend in Review

Okay, it's close to bedtime, so I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

I think that this three-day weekend went well. I managed to get an amazing lot accomplished... quite a few procrastinated tasks performed and staying in good spirits.
...
I completed my Teenie Beanie Baby search Thursday night after work and also managed to post on a funny Gentleman's Club sign pic then went to bed early.

Friday, I went for an early/not-early-enough run then completed a round of Orlando (UCF area, Downtown Orlando, I-Drive Outlets, DHS/Epcot). I came home to Melbourne that night.

I slept in on Saturday then posted Friday's trip report before setting off bug bombs and escaping to the movie theater to watch the latest Harry Potter (great cinematography, but overall meh), then I went for a run.

And today, I slept in again then watched at least half-a-dozen episodes of MacGyver while re-washing all the dishes/utensils in the kitchen. I put the bedsheets back on the beds in the guest room and finished putting together a project I was doing for our Toastmasters club before making a quick catch-up post of my friend Herb's garden. I went to Lowe's to pick up some stuff for my troubled lawn mower then went for a run. I re-fashioned the back sprinkler when I got home then gave myself a haircut before jumping into the shower.

When I'm at home for stretches of time, I like to cook. It's mostly frozen foods, but it's still all good. Having a temporary crown since Thursday morning hasn't hampered the hobby too much; I just know to stay away from hamburgers and other sandwiches.

Anyways... that was my weekend, and I've gotta get ready for bed since I can't sleep in tomorrow.

G'night.

BLOG: Getting Caught Up

Yeah, that's one good thing about having a speech to write: I get caught up on some of the other things I've been procrastinating.

    LINK: Top 10 Red Shirts from Gay Days 2009

Okay, I also just finished the entire 2nd season of Pushing Daisies (in 2 days?).
 

BLOG: A couple of catch-up posts.

I may make it to bed before midnight tonight!

Anyways, I had wanted to go see The Hangover at some point after work today but I was first just too tired (and napped on the couch some), then too focused on getting caught up on the blog, and I never made it back out of the house. I'll probably end up seeing it sometime this weekend with some friends.

Anywho, the two posts I made tonight are a big back, so I'm posting a couple links to them here, up front:

EVENT: Brevard 2-1-1's "An Evening of Mystery and Intrigue"
and
GAY DAYS 2009: Red Shirts - Honorable Mentions

I'm hoping to get an article about Saturday's WDW Passholders Events completed and submitted by tomorrow (we'll see) and also post my Top 10 Red Shirts by Friday.

Work's coming down to the wire, and I'm hoping for another load of energy and motivation.

Anyways, for this post's expanda-bonus, I was in for 3 of something during today's Woot-off. I actually bought it right after I finished my last post. To find out what it is, you'll have to follow the link to continue reading.

JOURNAL: I'm going to make you click more!

Tonight I modified my blog's template to allow for "expandable posts" (a.k.a "jumps"). These are the things where you can have a short summary of the post, and then have a link like "Click to continue reading..." for those who want to read/see more.

In addition to upping my hit-count, this will also slim down the main page so that it'd be easier to scan through recent posts. I've felt guilty after posting photo-intensive trip reports. Well, now I can sleep easier.

Though this update to the template affects all posts. So the link at the end of all the past posts... they're only false promises of more (sorry). I may go back and try to retro-fit some of my more popular posts, but anyways, let's all practice this "expanded post" deal.

Here's a joke (and it's a fart joke... classy, I know):

Doctor: "What seems to be the problem?"

Patient: "Doc, I've got the farts. I mean I fart all the time."

The Doctor nods, "Hmm..."

Patient: "My farts do not stink and you can't hear them. It's just that I fart all the time. Look, we've been talking here for about 10 minutes and I've farted five times. You didn't hear them and you don't smell them, do you?"

Doctor: "Hmm..."

He picks up his pad and writes out a prescription.

The patient is thrilled "Great doc. This prescription, will it really clear up my farts?"

"No," sighs the Doctor, "The prescription is to clear your sinuses. Next week I want you back here for a hearing test."

Anyways, we'll see how this expanded post thing goes. Leave a comment and let me know if you like this, don't like this, or can make this better. Thanks! :)
