Digg-ing In The Dirt; You Know You Love My Miscellany

I'm going to start putting a Digg This! button on my posts. If you think a particular post is good, or funny, or horribly embarrassing, please click the button and submit the post to Digg. Just one more way for me to promote my site. I'm such a blogwhore.

So I promised I'd explain my absence.I really don't know what to tell you...the days just slipped by so fast and before I knew it, it had been almost a week since I'd updated. I apologize for leaving everyone hanging in regard to the Dairy Queen story. Better late than never, right? I'll try not to let it happen in the future.

I'm super excited for Halloween this year. You see, last Halloween, I was locked up in the mental ward. I dressed up in the hospital...I think I was a cat. I don't really remember. Nick brought me costume bits and I seem to remember furry black ears, but that could be a false ECT-glitch memory. In any event, I missed out on Jarrin's Halloween party, trick-or-treaters, and carving pumpkins. And Halloween is my second favorite holiday, so I was very sad to miss it all. This year, I'm carving pumpkins, handing out candy to kids, *and going to Jarrin's party (which is Saturday). And I have a great costume, a joint costume with Nick.

I want to take a minute and thank the internet for Facebook.I've reconnected with at least a dozen high school friends because of it, just by clicking a few links and reading through a list of names. It's the best social networking site there is. If you are a MySpacer and you don't have a Facebook account, you're really missing out. I suggest you race over to Facebook and make an account toot-sweet. You'll be astonished at how many of your friends, family, and distant acquaintances you can find (mostly because it asks people to use their actual first and last names, not a made up nickname like on MySpace).

Tonight's plans:Dinner with Xn and his lovely wife Rebecca at Penisula, a Malaysian restaurant in Minneapolis. Tomorrow's plans:Nick has D&D so I'm hanging out with Betsie as usual. This time we'll be rocking out at her place in St. Paul, playing Wii on their 15 foot projection screen. Yeah, buddy.
