I went to see the Conan O’Brien Tour tonight and it rocked! We got Triumph, Andy, the self-pleasuring panda, and the Walker Texas Ranger Lever (now renamed the Chuck Norris Rural Policeman Handle). We also got a surprise one night only musical appearance from Eddie Vedder. I don’t know how Conan got him, because I know he doesn’t go out much. I really don’t think there will be a better show on the tour than what I just saw. And THEN on his encore performance, Conan decided to run out into the audience while playing guitar. He happened to pick the seat in front of me to stand on! Now I know no one would believe me, so lucky for me my phone takes video! Here you go, enjoy and be jealous:
I didn’t plan on it, but yesterday I added a pet to my growing animal collection…A little puppy named Bear. So far the kitties are tolerating him as you can see in this picture. Scroll down for more.
I was cleaning up my old email and ran across this. It’s sentimental because it’s from my Uncle Joe (sending forwards was a hobby of his). Anyway, it was the last forward he sent me before he died:
Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married.
She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.
She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea.
As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a
CUT -glass bowl sitting on top of it.
The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat.
The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
“Miss Beatrice”, he said, “I wonder if you would tell me about this?” pointing to the bowl.
“Oh, yes,” she replied, “Isn’t it wonderful? I was walking through the Park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground.
The directions said to place it on the organ,
keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease.
Do you know I haven’t had the flu all winter.”
I’ve been slaving over a hot keyboard for a while now to create a new Shawnland. Why? Mostly to get it hosted somewhere else so it stops breaking every time my computer at home reboots. But also it was due to be changed. What do you think?
Big news, although most of you know already. I have a new job! I started today as a Program Manager for two products. I’m actually now back with my old team, so it’s nice to be back. One perk is a new office, with a window. My very first window office! Here’s my view…
