The Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak

In the fine tradition of Laura has the shittiest luck on all the Earth, you guessed it, more suck has happened.  Nothing horrible.  But, a big ass annoyance.  It is one of two things.  One sucks more than the other.  Either my network cable shorted out or the plug on my laptop (which is NEW!  Well, not new new, but like 4 months old new.  So, pretty damn new!) where the network cable goes went out.  Jody found another cable, but it didn't work when plugged in.  So, we are thinking it is the plug.

I did order another network cable.  It will get to us on Wednesday (or so it says).  I ordered it from Circuit City.  I thought they went out of business.  Well, apparently, they didn't.  They just went 1/2 the price of Best Buy.  And since we still have no license plates on the truck (whoopie!), I am having it delivered. So, we shall see.

The good thing is that the computer is still under warranty. And, I think I got some sort of  Geek Squad warranty because I ordered it from the old Best Buy.  I hope it is the danged old cord, though.  That would be such an easier fix. 

But, all is not bad.  I had an excellent time at the Cinco de Pie-O party.  I think I ate about 2394802 pieces of different types of pie.  It was awesome. I  am still full from it.  Wait, that's a lie.  I'm not.  I am full from nothing.  I ate a Lean Cuisine meal earlier, but that doesn't really fill one up.  But, the party was a great time.  I ate, beat the hell out of a pinata, and got to hang out some some super fun people. This is just a sampling (I stole Katie's photo, as I am the only person of my generation who doesn't take a million pictures of everything.  I used to be...look at earlier blogs.  But, I stopped because I am just to lazy to move my arms that much.):

And this doesn't even begin to cover it.  Add pizzas made on a grill!!!, another pot pie, a mac and cheese pie with a bacon crust, and about 16 other desert pies and cobblers and cheesecake (it was sooooo goooood).  You know, what?  I should show you more pies!

It was pretty good, if I do say so myself.  And, thank you to all my friends who take pictures with cool iPhone effects.  My BlackBerry can only do so much.  Poor, lowly BlackBerry.  Pies, though!  Pies!

So, that's about enough out of me for one sitting.  Pies and misery.  Ah, who can ask for anything more?  Me, that's who!

Ugh!

Happy Easter!

Look how nice I am with that title. Do you have any idea how much I want to make fun of ghost Jesus being all Incredible Hulk and moving some large boulder. Or do you think he just David Blaned his way through the boulder? Casper and Patrick Swayze could just walk through walls and stuff. And so could Harry Potter at certain points. So, I guess even if Jesus where a wizard he could have risen today! Hurray! But, I didn't do any such thing. I just wrote a nice title. So, Happy Easter!

I didn't do much for it except some laundry. I am catching up on 30 Rock because I haven't watched it in a long time. I love the shit out of this show. I hope all the world thinks Tina Fey is as genius as I do. She's brilliant! I have a true respect for comedy. And she is really funny.

Oh, what I did do this Easter Sunday is get a bit of a sunburn. Actually, I got a pretty good one. I went to a friend's house this afternoon, and we sat out on her back porch for about an hour talking. I was sitting right in the sun. But, it was so gorgeous out there today, that I didn't mind. However, once I got home, I realized I am a bit burned. Actually, I am burned pretty good. I would take a picture, but my camera is in DC and my phone is in my purse in the living room. So, you may get a picture later. It was a beautiful day, though. I think it was worth it.

Talked to Jody. Their show in DC went well. Yay! I wish I could see him play. Soon, soon!

Okay, nothing much else is going on. Got a new book to read. Didn't do a damn bit of homework. Ugh! But, alas, I shall get on it soon. Maybe I would rather sleep. Ah, who knows!
