CRAAAAAAAAAAB FEASSSSSSST!!!!!!!!

I am out of town this weekend for my family's annual Crab Feast. Now, you may be saying, "Isn't Armenia landlocked? Why would you have a reunion centered around seafood?"*

My family is a bit odd.

Anyway, I hope a gathering of 60 Armenians and Armenian-lovers will generate some good stories, even if I have to take things into my own hands and double the amount of tequila in the margaritas.**

*You are most likely not saying this, as the vast majority of you likely don't know where Armenia is. I don't fault you for that.

**We're also part Mexican***

***Not really. But, yes, sort of.

New (new) goal

After a conversation about our Myers-Briggs types this morning, a few of us decided to re-take the test to see if we'd changed. My results came with a list of recommended careers, and I must say that one of them intrigues me:

"Military, business administrators, managers, police/detective work, judges, financial officers, teachers, sales representatives, government workers, insurance agents, underwriters, nursing administrators, trade and technical teachers, mafia dons"

Finally! My life has some direction!

New goal

The past two weeks, I've tried to request songs at the bar after kickball. I have yet to be successful. I think I may have gotten an "in" yesterday, though, because I supported the DJ in his refusal to play John Denver*. He told me to bring him a list of songs and he'd burn them. If we aren't dancing to Big Country by the end of the season, I will have to label it a failure.

*Yes, John Denver. He asked for "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and you should have seen the look on the DJ's face. He then tried to guilt-trip him into playing it by saying that there were a lot of people there from Iowa and Nebraska. It was at this point that I piped up with, "But 'Country Roads' is about West Virginia." The DJ folded his arms, shook his head, and said, "She does have a point."

YES! (Part 2)

Someone was sent to this blog through a search for "pants with ducks."
MY FATHER LIVES ON!

Oh, and to the mystery Googler: please don't.

Are you near Dutch Wonderland?!?

One of my trivia opponents informed me, rather adamantly, that "Solutions Architect" is a valid job title. I would like to explain that, while I don't doubt the importance of such a position, I find the name of it ridiculous. He also had some strong feelings about blogs, not so much about the people who right about the little things in life, but about those who read and comment about them. He thinks they have too much time on their hands. Never fear, faithful readers, I stuck up for you!

Moving on.

Trivia night was a good time, as we had a nice showing for there only being three of us. I made friends with a very nice team called the Phillies, who were unfortunately playing like the Phillies circa 1997. There was actually a good-sized contingent of people from the Philadelphia area, and I realized how nice it is to be around others who know how to pronounce "Lancaster."

YES!

Way to go, Delaware Democrats! Oh, and, Ruth Ann? Shut up. Carney was a horrible candidate, and it's about time we had some change from 16 years of Carper/Minner/Carney. I'm tired of the same half dozen people exchanging one job for another. And I'll be very happy not to have a governor who'll need to "check with his bishop" about legislation.

WANT!

Someone appears to have recently been hired at my place of employment with the title "Solutions Architect." (No, I don't work for the government)

I wish to change my title to this immediately. I think I would be rather good at laying the blueprints for solutions while not actually solving anything.

Sorry!

Apparently Jess and I were talking right over Britney's first acceptance speech, when she DID in fact thank her kids. Some die-hard Spears fans have jumped to her defense.
Anyway, she didn't thank them in the next two acceptances. I maintain that I am 2/3 correct!

WTF?

Did any of you watch Jeopardy! Monday night? WHAT ON EARTH WAS THAT NEW FINAL JEOPARDY MUSIC? I think we should start an email campaign. Who's with me?!?

Beat this!

I think I got the best hit from a Google search today, when someone was directed to my very first post via a search for "slash loves animals?"

I have no idea if Slash loves animals, but, judging by his appearance on the VMAs Sunday night, I don't think he loves Linkin Park.
