Big weekend for holidays - Friday the 13th is first. I had to explain who "Jason" was to some folks today. I also had to explain where the term "slasher" comes from.... also the difference between "slasher" and "flasher". Funny how that single letter changes the reference of "slasher flick" into "flasher flick". Both are shown on USA channel late at night I guess.
Saturday is Valentine's Day. I'm boycotting again this year after a successful celebration last year with Sarah. We'll pick back up next year when we're back together in the same country. She did send me a rather large fix of homemade valentine's day cookies, cherry sours, jube jells, and Penut Butter Cup heart. What a woman! They do celebrate Valentine's Day here, but they do so 3-4 times. This is at least the 3rd holiday for lover's here and it's just as much a publicity to buy things and stimulate the economy as it is in the US. The last Taiwan Valentine's Day in Taiwan I think I bought Sarah her cell phone:) You know how good I am at the Valentine's Day gifts!!!
Sadly, no shovel this year for Sarah. She still has the really good one for the car from last year!!!
And Sunday marks the 1st Annual International "That's What She Said" Day. Michael Scott will be proud as those of us who already overuse the phrase, get to try to over use it even more! Don't believe me? Look it up.
It's been a long week of battling a cold and sore throat. Cookies don't really help the sore throat, but they help my attitude! Luckily tomorrow is Friday with very little official plans for the weekend. It's back up towards 80 degrees here - just turned the Air Conditioning back on.
I am caught up on American Idol... mostly. i'm ready for the "real" stuff to start. The over dramaticized episode last night was way too boring. But overall I think the talent this year shows a lot of promise. Hopefully having Kara on the show will indeed keep it interesting and we can listen to some productive thoughts rather than random thoughts that make no sense from a drunken Paula. I'll do my best to keep up with AI week to week with my usual predictions!
Have a good Thursday!
