the roommates were on tv...

today cath and mike went to the fair cause it's Native American Day (of course). they are huge fans of Bridge Street so they went early for the live taping of the show and were *lucky* enough to intro the show! Click here to see them...

cath and wfischer have been diligently crafting a letter to the DEC, camprounds and possibly the governor of NY about the harassment we experienced. the letter is good. i'll post it here when it's final.

this weekend we're going to have all kinds of visitors.. my sisters and their better halves and a friend from MA, fresh back from london... woo who! i'm looking forward to a great weekend!

sooo smart!!

we came within 5 points of winning trivia solely last night.. we had the right answer too, but crossed it off for the wrong answer.. hella great times though.


KW pointing out our 2nd place finish. 225 for those of you that can't read that far away.


tsk tsk tsk KW. that is an awful shirt.


the winning team.

i got an email this morning.. looks like someone is up to his old tricks. :) lets make bets, i think he'll be done by halloween. anyone else have a guess? lol...

i'll have a midday report tomorrow, cause mike and cath are gonna be on tv.. :)

working at the fair...

yesterday i worked at the fair... it was a nice departure from the usual workday. i rode there in a company sanctioned limo bus, and honestly that was the best part, 'cept the ride over, it was packed with kids. :) but door to door limo service can't be beat.

the highlights of the day for me besides the transportation were:

1. seeing one of the kids that competed in the karaoke contest be absolutely pissed that the audio wasn't loud enough on his version of the song, and then have it work perfectly for the next contestant. they all ended up getting tickets to go though.. everyone's a winner!
   
2. hearing that a senior citizen that won "Linkin Park: Projekt Revolution tour" concert tickets asked "what do i do with these?" LOL...
   
3. watching the crowd go nuts for free anything. if we were giving away AIDS, i bet people would stand in line for it if it were free.
   
4. one woman came up to me and asked how she could become a VIP (you had to call in at a certain time the week before the show and win the tickets) and i told her that, she asks, ooooh, i work during the week. hello.. it was a tuesday morning? why wasn't she working then?
   
5. riding a station golf cart was kinda of fun too. i only had to drive it 100 feet or so, but i almost hit a police officer on a bike, and an old man asked me for a ride.. get a wheelchair buddy!
   

i made it into a segment of the show accidently and against my will.. i was handing out 99cent coupons for Dunkin Donuts, the way people were acting you'd think i was handing out hundred dollar bills. :)



click the picture to see the clip. but don't blink or you might miss me.


after the show AC and i toured around a little bit and ate our free lunches from the dinosaur barbecue.


here are the kids that i rode the bus with that intro'd the show lining up to read.





here are some shots of the limo..

mike and cath are going to the fair on friday, i'm going to see if they can intro the show. :)

and KT and i are making a day of it on sunday, so expect all kinds of good stories from that!

here are the complete pics from the day.. not very exciting, i must admit...

morbid monday the ontime edition.

alright, slim pickings this week... but i did manage to scrounge up 4 semi decent ones...

this isn't your typical 90 year old woman and her gazillion cats story.. this one is a mother daughter team! too bad the cats didn't eat one of the alive or something...

keeping with the feline theme... this is one sick man...

this one isn't that bad at all... kinda funny.

by far this one is the worst.. i think it's because of the pictures. if you have visited cnn.com at all in the last week you've probably seen this story. ugh...

rebecca autopsy out.

it's friday! yay!

i love fridays. i think it's mostly because it means i can sleep in tomorrow. even though sometimes i find myself waking earlier on weekends than i usually do. i have however, started turning off my alarm for weekends. i used to have it on and listen to it till it turned off on saturday and sunday because i felt it punctuated the fact that i didn't have to get up. but now i think it just interrupts my sleep.

i kind of wish it was raining today, but instead its hot hot hot here and at least 100% humidity. ugh. horrible weather. i took a walk last night and cath asked me when i got back if i had been running. hahaha.. i can't remember the last time i ran. it was that humid out though, i looked like i had been swimming.

did anyone else LOOOOOVE the post today by the gluten free girl? i love onions.. they are my favorite food to chop in the kitchen. now i know how. i believe diego taught me something similar to that once. when i think about it, i learned a lot about cooking from those guys.

i feel like i should update, but i am not sure i have much to say. :)

i think KT is coming to visit me labor day weekend. hopefully she can get a ticket to come see the american idols with us at the fair. speaking of the fair, it's here. things are buzzing at work. it's kind of exciting. i am going to go work there tuesday morning. i will be sure to take photos and notes so i can report back. :)

i have been planning in my head for a while now blogging about my ride to work, and the 4-5 points that my OCD self can't help but notice each and every day. now i just need to leave for the office a little early so i can pull over on the side of the road multiple times to take pics.

cath says we might be acquiring a little pom in a few weeks for an unspecified amount of time.

oooooo yeah!

we won again last night. we tied two other teams for 1st place! wooot!!

of course, there was more victory dancing..
