A big one

we won the maritime championships yesterday
it was a great game
[for a complete slaughter anyway]

The team we beat
had a total of 41 points scored against them this season
yesterday we scored 63

thats gotta hurt

anyway

I invited all the rugby boys over for a celebration
[and the girls rugby team of course]

It was a crazy good time
I figured the best chance my house had for survival
was to feed em
so I whipped up a pasta bar

which consisted of

15 pounds of chicken
3 pounds of linguine
3 pounds of penne
3 pounds of tortellini
1 pot of my white sauce
1 pot of my red sauce

and I whipped up a few apps to serve before hand

the photos are uploading now
but you can find them at http://public.fotki.com/plural/locations/canada/capers_rugby/

they should all be up there within an hour or so of this posting

and now I gotta shower
get dressed
and head out to a halloween party

If you were able to spend one 24 hour period with me, what 5 things would you want to do?

1.
2.
3.

5.

fuck it

I am within two freaking straws
from telling my mother to go fuck herself
and permanently separating myself from her

as in

"go fuck yourself and the horse you rode in on, and have a nice life cause I'm not going to be apart of it"

I'm biting my tongue
and holing up in my office
because I dont want to make such a decision while angry

but

I'm not seeing how I'm going to feel much different
once my blood ceases to boil

I think I may well have hit my limit

In the 25 days she has been here visiting
she has consistently and completely failed to respect my home or life
hell she hasnt even made the effort

I've bent my ass over backwards to accomodate them
cooked meals for their guests, even when I was not going to be there
bit my tongue as they managled my kitchen
rolled over when mother would decide at 1am to play a movie at high volume
when she knew I had gone to bed and had a meeting early in the morning

throughout it all I've tried to smile and just get through it
I allowed them to cajole me into spending far more time than I desired at synagogue
even though it conflicted with my other obligations

my life has been thrown topsy turvy from damn near four weeks
and until this point, I've been able to grin and bear it

but I'm way past the breaking point
and ready to take off some fucking heads

and

just to be clear
this isnt about the wine
sure the bottle of wine aggravated me
but that wasnt such a big deal

yes it was the last in a long series of events
in which they refused to show even the minimal respect
for my home and possessions

but beyond that

before I went to talk with her
I wrote that post
got what was bugging me out of my system
so I could go have a productive conversation
rather than an shouting match

just calmly explain how I felt
and try to give her some guidance
on this specific issue for the future

before I even get halfway through the first sentence
she shuts me out and refuses to listen to me

there are a lot of things I can stomach in this world
but having someone tell me to shut the fuck up in my own house
isnt one of them

I have a friend
[not really but I tip her well]
[so she pretends]
who is an ardent feminist
and in an animated discussion
on various topics
she brought up feminism
to which I replied

"Feminism is the worst thing to happen to women... since men"

7 - 0

any questions?

we won

60+ to 7

[yeah ok I lost track of the score]

serious whuppage

although they did play well

would have skunked em
but the ref felt bad for em
and awarded em a completely bullshit penalty try

but now at 6-0 we cinched first place in our division
and home field for the playoffs
which is sweet

just came home to shower before going out with the boys
will have a few photos to share later on

love love

your plural

I spent the last two hours
getting the holy crap knocked out of me
by a group of ten to fifteen young men
most of whom were ten years younger
and significantly bigger than I

it was great

and after rugby practice
the lot of us went drinking

good stuff

and now

I think I'm gonna take a long hot bath
scarf some food
and put my old wrinkly ass to bed

My father and I
went out to the old french fortress of louisburg
over the weekend

and of course
I snapped some shots

( photos )

Ok so I know I promised to fix
the tags I screwed up before
but I suck so I've never gotten around to it

anyway
what I have managed
is to go through the photos I took in China
and make polished copies of my favorites
which I will present to you now

( without further ado )
