The Malicious Monocle

  Yesterday evening was spent at Adverb’s house having a good time. Within minutes of arriving everyone was naked and having all kinds of wild monkey-like fun. Marriage vows were spit upon and ignored willy-nilly. Wait. That’s the delusional paranoid prediction for the evening. In reality, it was a very quiet and enjoyable time.

Adverb and her husband Bone-Cracker served a nice dinner of ravioli and sausages. There was even apple pie for desert. We drank, chatted and played a couple of boardgames. Bone-Cracker and I dominated the game of 80’s Trivial Pursuit. I have to admit I almost felt pity for Adverb, Thermopylae and C (a friend of Adverb and her husband) when I looked at the board and saw our piece stuffed full of pie sections and their piece with a single, lonely piece.

I spent a good part of today driving out to Twin Lakes in order to get a couple more books for a project due Monday night. For some inexplicable reason most of the books concerning my topic are kept in Twin Lakes. I wish I hadn’t needed to run out to Twin Lakes, but at least I managed to get a number of Power Point slides planned out at the coffee shop this morning.
