Wow!I almost forgot it was a holiday weekend. Thanks for the reminder everyone of what families do on holidays.

Joe was home sick from Friday through Monday. He still is sick, but he went to work and to spread the bug around so that his misery has miserable company.

I alternately worked outside in our tick-infested yard and laid about watching Buffy the Vampire DVDs. After breaking the lawnmower that was just returned from the shop, I decided my day wouldn't be complete without getting tick bites weeding the three poor sad blueberries that are struggling to remain alive after the other eight died.

I am only about five years or so behind on TV pop culture, (I can pause them and go do something else, come back and finish an episode later.)

I am up-to-date with the Dresden Files books which have just been picked up by the Sci-Fi channel for several episodes. Joe calls the author 'the butcher.' I only read him one gory scene and he now thinks that I read them for the raunchy stuff.

I have to admit I do watch all kinds of DVDs and critique the moulage/FX. I interrupted Joe's computer reading yesterday saying, 'come see this' or 'we could do that better' or 'look at the mottling of that bruise' or wow, 'they mixed 24-48 hour old bruises with fresh bruises' or 'man, I wish I could get shock stick to work like that on lips' or 'great moulage but they missed his ear. . .it's a corpse with half a pink ear.'
Sick and twisted. But he likes me just the same and even once came out of his computer room to look at one of the dead guys a demon slayed.

Uh, I guess I am weird, but I have never considered rubbing supprasatta skin between someones toes. That's a whole new kind of wild fun.

Give our best to the family where ever they are. We loved our visit 'home' to Spumoni South. We missed those who were unable to make the trip. Someday, perhaps we will all get there at the same time. Wow, I am getting all choked up blogging that.
