I realized today that I hadn't written a blog since October
(been busy growing beard/mustache for movember... and I had to wash my hair?) So to catch up, today is LISTING THINGS THURSDAY!!!

| Gordon Bombay, his surgeon and some paper towels? |
- For Halloween I went as the Brawny Paper Towel guy, so pretty much a lumberjack type outfit, with some paper towels telling people, "clean up your shit." I, of course, got the urge to play dress up and came very close to going as a hipster. I could have pulled if off if Juan let me borrow his jeans (which, for the record, I definitely would've have ruined). I was very impressed with some other peoples costumes, where I am perpetually impressed with solid arts&crafts skills, ingenuity, or effort to find a good costume in the months of July-September before all the good ones are gone.
- As referenced in one of my first blog posts, putting candy in beer is fun (I put sour patch kids in some cheap can). I recently put skittles in a Bud Light, which turned pink and fruity, thereby instantaneously improving my bland evening into a discoteca-like atmosphere that may have scarred Juan for life. I wouldn't recommend doing this more than once unless you are a conductor on the diabetes train.
- I attended my first Bruins game of the year, this past Tuesday evening, and boy, did we ever pick a game to go to. After witnessing what was the B's 6th straight win, in a barn-burner (fortunately no cattle were burneded) gem that was a 4-3 win over the Devils, I can safely say the Bruins are no longer hungover from their summer with the cup. Although there were no instances of fisticuffs (Marchand was up to his usual naughty activities...), I couldn't have asked for a better game (refreshing lack of Jersey fans, duh stupid). The highlight of the night went to Natty for avoiding getting his legs crushed by the fat drunk guy falling down over the rows of seats at the end of the game.

| Look out facebook, here comes the mother of these two fine young gentleman... |
- My mother has joined the bookface! So if you want to be judged (just kidding, she won't judge you (but she will be able to tell if you're
crazy silly, and seriously, she might judge you on profile pic)), need a facepage friend from the mean streets of Habersham County Georgia, or just want to see pictures of my parents' romp around Italy, you should probably friend her... (plus, I wanted an excuse to post this picture again)
- Does anyone else think of that Gun 'N Roses song every time it rains in November? Do they get royalties from the weather? Does Kevin really need all that protein? Why can't Jesse get over Susie? Do you really need all that cream cheese? What is the deal with our crazy land lady?..... All questions I shouldn't ask...
- New favorite activity: Herding Cattle
- Thanksgiving, when the bears distract us with turkey, so they can plot against us...
- Bowling... I've discovered my scores have been well below the expected, maybe because I vary between either the "If you're not first, you're last-throw it as hard into the gutter as possible" method, or the "look how much I can make this spin" method. Unlike Juan or Philpott, I did not take a college course for credit in this art.
- Coming (hopefully) 2012: FC Greenstorm restores a boat!
- Coming summer
2014 2017: FC Greenstorm goes fishing, attempts to recreate scene from Deep Blue Sea, gets lost at sea, gets rescued by a helicopter, and ends with Ian's extremely critical inspection of rescue helicopter's manufacturing
- Congratulations to Craig and Alrex for the new pupperoni, Toby. I'm excited to make Michael Scott/Office quotes to your dog.
- Note to charity-type peoples on the sidewalks of Boston asking me for money: I don't really have poison ivy on my hands, I just don't want to stop and tell you I'm not giving you my moneys.
