YAY random day off! L is visiting philly with her sisters for a long weekend, so i'm heading into the city to spend the afternoon with them... on the agenda is some mani/pedi time at a local nail salon, then perhaps martinis and apps on the rooftop bar at the continental.

last night jack and i hit the last "humpday hootenanny" of the season at walking fish. ms_violet and her man do such a good job with it, the place was packed and they had a long list of people signed up to play. some of the songs were painful/bizarre (do we really need a 7-minute banjo song about stalking a video game monster?), but there were also some great performances and a lot of jokes flying back and forth. it was a fun, casual vibe and everyone had a great time.

i just thought of another group i'd like to belong to (thinking of my post from the other day): the idle rich. i'd love to look at my calendar every day and go, "okay, i have martinis with the girls this afternoon, but first i have to hit the salon... maybe i can squeeze in a massage..." and then head up charity events or something to still stay productive. ah, the life. definitely need to start playing the lottery again...

We need MORE 7-minute songs about stalking a video game monster. Specifically, the wumpus (http://www.dreamcodex.com/playwumpus.php). Our children need to understand the wumpus menace and already it is almost lost to human memory!

There is also a less enticing but more authentic text-only, you're-lucky-to-have-a-printing-terminal who-neds-a-screen version here (http://bnewtz.cannet.com/wumpus/).
