Boy's Hall Entertainment

you know, boys really do have a perverted sense of entertainment sometimes. last night i witnessed one hair-brained example of this. it turns out to be a twist combo of rock paper scissors and "uncle," or "mercy," or whatever you want to call it. so dan and dan were playing each other. they stood face-to-face and did the whole rock paper scissors thing, and every time, the person who won got a "hit." by this i mean the other person had to hold out their arm while the winner held two fingers and whacked the arm as hard as possible on the underside of the fore arm. if one got three wins in a row, they could give a four finger slap! isn't that wonderful?!? i thought this kind of game died early in grade school... like some kind of locker room game that bullies forced smaller kids to play or something. dan (who else could it be??) had rows of red finger marks and a fat purple/black bruise when they stopped playing. yea, that's immediately after playing, not later when the bruise settles in - immediately. and you know what's even better?? he just got through playing someone else with the other arm the night before!!!! are their games like this that girls play?? just curious.

nick and his buddies caught a 20 lb 30" catfish on their line today. he's totally stoked about it.

i made some more cd's of my recital and the orchestra concert for a friend in history. the reason being, is i asked him if he wanted to come to the orchestra concert and he got all excited about it and said he did. i guess i forgot to tell him that it would cost $2, and he came without a cent and didn't get to go in. needless to say, i felt really bad about that. so i just thought he might like the recordings. we'll see! best hit the hay...
