I'm Heading To

Vashon Island for the Tenino/Vashon HS Football game tonight with my best friend to watch her son play!  I know, I know!  It's the HUGE Oly/Capital rivalry game tonight and I'm going to miss it (my 10th grade daughter thinks I'm a traitor!)  My heart & spirit will be with Capital but my mind & body will be on Vashon!

GO CHS COUGARS & THS BEAVERS!!!

I made up a new cheer after

I made up a new cheer after a tragic Bears/Cougars game. You shout it while watching the opposing player run the entire field for a touchdown. It goes like this.

NOOOO! NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOO! GOD DAMMIT!

Poor Bears. 1989 was a sad year.

ROFL! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh... I'm So Sorry!

but I have to tell you this is the first time all day I've literally laughed out loud at something I've read on my monitor!  But know up front, I was only laughing because I could actually hear you doing your cheer in my head, not at the results of the game! 

I hope you'll go to the game tonight and won't need to perform your cheer!  Wait...  Don't tell my daughter I said that or she really will think I'm a traitor for sure!  hehehe!

That's probably only because

Norm hasn't posted his picture yet...the one with the bowl cut.

Repeat after me: Sexy

I look sekshi with a bowl cut. If I went down to the broho with one (which I won't) I'd be surprised if I wasn't mobbed while trying to buy a tic-tac.

Norm,

Tic-tacs are so 2006.

I'm doing well then

normally I'm pretty 1988'ish.

Wasn't that the year of Corona shirts?

Yes but that was for COOL

Yes but that was for COOL kids back in 88' I was a nerd even back then. Think polo shirts with the alligator on the chest.

I will be at the Oly/Capital game.  Should be good!

Ehver - Unfortunately...

It was a very bad game!  Unless you're an Olympia Bear!  The score liked to killed me!  I found myself wanting to form a pyramid and perform Mary's cheer! 

NOOOO! NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOO! GOD DAMMIT! 31-7 Oly. UGH.

Poor Capital Cougars... This was a huge & devestating loss to them.

I didn't attend either

I didn't attend either school, but my son is part of the TCYFL Cougars.  I'm a Timberline grad and we lost 21-0 to Tumwater last Thursday night.

I did wear a dark blue shirt with white stripes so I was covered either way!

Capital looked terrible.  They threw the ball all over the place last weekend against Black Hills but only threw it 10 times last night.  Their 6'-5" receiver wasn't a factor at all because they split him out too far on the strong-side every down!  They needed that guy running slant routes through the middle with his height.  Oly owned them on the line so their running game didn't go anywhere.

I forgot to describe the

I forgot to describe the proper way to do it, but for most people it comes natural. Flail your arms around - as the runner progresses clench your hands into fists or claws - tighten your body, bring your arms in closer to your torso - make sure the skin is pulled tight on your face.

The "God Dammit" part must have that explosive pause between the two words.

When done collapse into tears.

Weekend fun

I actually have some goals this weekend:

  • slow down
  • lighten up
  • laugh about something
  • enjoy this late summer weather
  • putter around the house and putter some more
  • start reading Spook Country

1988?

 I've got socks I bought in 1988.  Actually, September 8, 1988 - my first day of sobriety.  Society took a turn for the better and people started allowing me in their presence again.

The streets are safe.

Ireland Euro qualifier

I just realized my television box gets Setanta Sports (one of those paid extra special sports channels). So at 9p on Sunday I'm watching Ireland v Slovakia.

I heard from a horse

That Otto's is on its way out.

 The employees quit after the management (not the new owners) weren't able to keep it together and make a safe place for people to work.

Thats a rumor ... and only from an ex employee (or 5)...

Otto's?

Whoa, that will make a big difference to downtown Oly. I used to give them lots of my business, haven't so much lately. Reminds me, it seems like the restaurant/cafe scene in Oly is one rich in stories and dramas, might be true of all restaurants everywhere, maybe because we are a smallish city information and stories flow faster.

If they leave I hope that excellent location is picked up by a worthy (as so deemed by me :) ) business.

Go ask.

It can't hurt. And if you are one of the few who still likes bad service and cheap bagels? Go support the hell out of them!

Quality

Seemed like the quality of food went downhill.

Opinion time!!!

So I'm hanging around outside La Taqueria(sp?) and walking around the block looking around while waiting for a friend. Then I see it....the jewelery store! His name escapes me and ,due to my desire to use fewer insults that revolve around femininity, I won't call him the name I am thinking of, but you all know who I'm referring to.

Point of my post, his shop looks kinda crappy. He's in a good spot for business too, I wonder how he's doing financially with that attitude of his. That's all, just thought I'd share.

I'm sick. Some sort of stomach bug. I hate being sick. It happens every year when the husby and the big kid go back to school...they always bring home some fun little virus for me!
