two dolla

i totally showed them

I may have just crossed the line of appropriateness with the neighborhood hooligans that walk by my balcony on their way to loiter on the picnic tables in the parka cross the street. The 11 year old bitchy leader of the crew just walked by and says to her posse (and I’ll use that term very lightly) “See, lookit. She just be sittin’ in there not doing anything about it” in reference to how my dog barks at their dopey asses when they walk by.

And she’s right. I can sit at my desk and watch them as they all scamper by when Riley gets all bent out of shape. It used to be entertainment for me, then it went to annoying, and now I just don’t give a shit. Me not giving a shit is what prompted me to flip the little skank off. Sure, not my most shining moment in the land of maturity, but I’m still waiting for that paintball gun to show up so I can snipe their little asses.

I may come home tonight with eggs and/or their empty bottles of Vess soda on my deck, but that’s fine. I’ll win this little battle eventually. I just have to figure out how.

happy happy happy birthday

Today’s Jenni’s birthday. Happy Birthday, dude!!

I already wrote a sappy post about her earlier this year, and nobody (and I mean nobody!) deserves two sappy posts in one year.

We started celebrating last night with Greenies, the naked lady machine, and the slappy card game at Tony Jaros’, getting really grossed out at a horrible, horrible, titty bar and rounding the night out with some karaoke at the Northeast Palace.

Tonight, we’re going to a Brother Ali show. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard this dude, but since that’s what Jenni wanted to do for her birthday, I got a ticket, dammit. And then tomorrow, Riley’s going to visit his friend Eddie at the dogsitter, and a bunch of us are piling in the car(s) to visit the Leinie’s brewery (if they’ll answer the phone on their reservation line!) and go bar hopping in Eau Claire. It’ll be a good weekend, followed by a week that already has a ton of plans including a baseball game, a basketball game, and oral surgery.

No wonder this summer is going by so fast.
