ODDS AND ENDS

Some minor details before I leave:

• I'm going to Connecticut for an indeterminate period of time. It could be a week, it could be a couple of weeks. I don't know at this point. All I know is that I need a breather and figure out what I'm going to be doing these next couple of weeks as I find that thing called work.
  
• Thus, I am not going to be posting for a while or sporatically at best. This is probably a good thing, because it will force me to do things not online. Like look at political websites all day long. Or at sports websites all day long. You know, that stuff that's been holding me back.
  
• Speaking of sports, my picks for this weekend were crap. Only UCLA (and K-State) held their end of the bargain. I fully expect Dan to ridicule me for my ineptitude. When I get a chance, I will go into an entire list of how college football has been very competitive and thus not exciting going into the stretch run. Just like my other topics that I have to write about. But I think the thought that summarizes this week's crap-o-rama, is that a monkey flinging feces at teams written on a wall would've done a better job picking games than I did. I may have to try that out the next time I get to pick games, which should be next week. It'll be interesting to see how I bounce back after this debaucle.
  
• I do think I did come up with that line after looking at the destruction of my picks when I came back from the South Carolina St. Fair. With my "I love Pork" sticker. That's probably the best memory from the event. Other than winning the dog in wack-a-mole. I'm freaking awesome like that. I've got the reflexes of a mongoose or something like that.
  
• Heck, I'll post pictures from the fair and you can add the captions. It'll be fun, like some kind of game to entertain you. Definitely go wild with that.
  
• This will probably be the first time in a couple of months that I haven't spent a lot of time with Luisa for a couple of days. Nothing to be worried about, but still an important growth point for us and where we're going relationship wise.
  
• I'm going to miss spending time with her immensely. The problem is keeping touch, without too much keeping in touch. Basically, fighting the urge to call every couple of hours and seeing if she's pissed off any Canadians yet. Hmmmm, I wonder if there's any words of advice to not piss off Canadians... You probably don't want to mention their second-best status in the whole US vs Canada thing. Or the fact that "their" sport is langushing in the US. Or the Expos. You probably shouldn't mention the Expos or Nordiques. Especially in Quebec city.
  
• If anyone in Connecticut reads this and wants to get in touch with me send me an email to mike(dot)hansen(at)gmail(dot)com Easy enough to follow without a problem. Or if you access to a friend or family member that knows my phone number, you could pass it on as well. I don't mind really. I just don't like posting it online.
  
• I'll be leaving butt ass early tomorrow and not getting in till 9 or 10 at night. Luckily it is Columbus Day weekend, so most of the crap vacationing traffic shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully.
  
• Still don't know what I'm ACTUALLY going to do in Connecticut. Could go running if it isn't frickin freezing out and/or raining. I know I'm going to change my oil so that Wal-Mart employees don't break my hood-latch AGAIN. And I'm going golfing, hopefully on a day where the weather doesn't suck ball either. And renew my CT driver's license, becase at this point, there's no actual benefit to establishing myself as an SC resident, except for certain jobs, and I can change those around if need be. Otherwise, I don't have a problem at all getting jobs with the regular license. And I don't have to be rushed to get one closer to my birthday from either state.
  
• That's pretty much the update for the next couple of days. Now, it's time for the part of the update that everyone has been waiting for: HARDCORE NUDITY Well, it's animal nudity but you get the point. Here are my pictures from the South Carolina State Fair. Remember: there's the guess the caption contests that I'll be turning on comments for to consider. Be the funniest and you'll get a prize. Like one of my "I love beef" stickers or something like that.

That's pretty much all of them. Have at it kiddies. I'm going to bed for my 15 hour drive to CT tomorrow. Enjoy your Columbus Day. Without him, we'd be paying $5.00 per gallon of gas since we'd all be overtaxed Europeans (oops, political thought. I'll stop there.)
