Halo Wars in the Backyard

So I went to a birthday cookout celebrating the Rick. The cake was good and the burgers were better. The beer kept coming and the shots too.

Totally 80s Trivia is not my forte, unless of course, its someone else's turn....

I think the best part of all was the watergun fight with the kids. I would have been a victim if not for my shield ( paper plate).

Day Two - Seattle Ina Nutshell

So yeah day one gone and off the the BIG city. Wow, there sure were a lot of homeless.



Three Unexpected Sites:












Thar be dragons here.










A Busch Gardens ( Local humor *for me* )










Oh yeah, at three-o-clock, everyone gets towed.

We visited Pike's Market ( Spent a lot of money ) Saw a lot of neat Seattle artists and wares. Sampled good food and found a comic shop ( Where, yes, I spent a lot of money ). I also got to see a market place called Uwagimaya's. Best place on Earth. Period.

Continuing on, we ventured to the dumping ground of the Green River Killer! Morbid I know but still interesting. And Ironic.

Day One - Seattle Arrival

Okay so this was my first real vacation. Ever.

Started off in ORF ( Norfolk, Va ) and landed in ATL (Atlanta, Ga ). So far so good, and ATL is really not new to me as I have LOTS of family there but...

Never had I the opportunity to sample these tasty little X's ( burger's in cook tongue ). Generally, I wouldn't go in for this sort of thing but my discipline pretty much got flushed down the toilet after that first beer in ORF airport. So yes indeed I had my Harold and Kumar moment.

Upon landing in Seattle and seeing my breath in the air, I said to my self wow, cold weather ( we didn't have any this winter in VB ). Ah, but I trekked onward until I came upon one of those crazy author people, you know the type, all creative with their words and phrases. So I waved. She waved. It was good to see my friend.

We drove to the house and I got to meet The Lou. In addition, I greeted my little adopted sister-in-a-box and my drinking buddy.

Stayed up for a while yadda yadda zzzzzzzzz.... ( slept like two hours ) -_-

The site

...is almost LIVE!!!!

Yeah, I just need to polish a few of the ruddy bits and then JODIHENLEY.COM will enter (at least) a more streamlined existance!

Uses javascript so that's pretty cool. I use the script to hide and unhide content.

Also added custom graphics for the reference links using most of the sites reviewed and sent along to the romance writing masses.

So, I think I can say today or tomorrow?

Cross your fingers!!!

The NEW Site...

...or as I like to call it, "Argh!!!!.com"

So, now it's down to finishing touches, and it finals week so this is gonna suck, like really.

I've also been ill and missed class -- which has put me behind. Again.

On being pegged as NOT existing on the fringe of society...

So. Yeah. Lost a lot of weight after seven years, carry around my laptop in a briefcase purchased by Cup, and on Wednesday dress in professional garb of college requirements (alternating between two nice shirts, three ties, and a single pair of slacks,) and in an effort to project said professionalism towards the success of my friend's site and career (appearind at our weekly meeting dressed as I do for school on Weds.)

So again, after years, I am viewed as a different person. A sellout, yuppy to be exact. Nevermind the fact that between Wednesday and Tuesday I sport a week of grubby facial hair, originally designed t-tshirts (i.e. I make them), grubby cook-stained jeans, steel toe boots or SB Dunks that I actually WEAR, and a generally shitty attitude.

Yeah. I wonder around town one day a week looking dressed up and getted knocked fr it. When I rule the world, nobody's wearing suits and ties.
