The Tyrant may have the power to decide who lives and who dies but no monarch is truly master in his own home.  He may have a senechal or chamberlain who actually makes the day to day decisions of the castle and a staff maintains daily operation of the realm.  The Queen, of course, has great influence.  A ruler may decide something but if the Queen doesn't like it, she can make life difficult.  That is why I am currently a prisoner in my own bedroom.


So a while back, Welsh Girl and some friends decided to have a Girl's Night.  A couple of days ago, it was decided to change the venue to the Satrapic Household.  I was told to go out somewhere and take my time doing whatever I end up doing tonight.  Well, I did and I still wanted to come home because this is where all my stuff is.  So I did.  Welsh Girl managed to slip me into the bedroom unseen, left me her laptop and ever since, I've been entertaining myself (no, not "entertaining myself") while hearing what women really think about stuff and things.  Well, actually, my presence here is no real secret.  The ones who know me have already come to pay me homage and during a fridge run, I met the ones I didn't know.  Some of the new ones apparently remember me from the bar days, but I don't remember any of them.  Oh, well...

Last night Welsh Girl and I went to visit the new baby.  Ma and Pa were glad for the company and Welsh Girl was glad for the baby holding.  Apparently, she's going to be the go-to Girl for babysitting duties.  And that's cool because there are lots of toys to entertain myself with (no, I still don't mean "entertain myself").  Last night was also my first time in memory eating chili mac.  It was OK.  But the tiramisu was better. :)

This morning, I woke up from a dream in which I was having an argument with Webwench.  I don't know why or what it was about.  I can only remember that we were fighting.  Make of that what you will.

I'm kinda bored and I need to piss.  I think I'll end it there.  Move along.  Nothing to see here.

That is all.

Chili mac by CountSpatula (2.00 / 0) #1 Sat Jan 26, 2008 at 05:50:12 AM EST
Good stuff, but you've really got to be cautious about the chili.  I have had it several times, changing the chili each time, and have discovered that chili mac can only be good if the chili is not that canned shit.  I'm serious.  To use that canned chili is like purposefully sticking your dick into a light socket.  Not a good idea, all the way around.

Helps, too, if you can make the chili nice and toasty.  YMMV, of course.

She might be free.  Just out of curiosity, anyone I know?

who won the argument?


Getting more attention than you since 1998.


I don't know... by atreides (2.00 / 0) #8 Sun Jan 27, 2008 at 10:16:54 AM EST
We both fell over in different directions.  I fell on the floor, you fell/reclined on the perfectly placed couch and then I woke up.  I guess it was you in that you didn't come into contact with any hard surfaces...
