Zantastic!!!!

My most excellent friends Zander and Julie were in the Twin Cities for about a week. I had such a great time seeing them. It felt as if they had never been gone, the way we were able to pick up where we left off when they moved to Japan a year ago.

The good news is they'll be moving back to Minnesota next summer. Another piece of good news is Zander's good friend Shad and I got back in touch. Another friend (a secretive microchip engineer who goes by the alias "Mick Golden") and I have finally set an attainable goal. We intend to contact Shad so we can all hang out together within the next two weeks.

But we'll see. I invited Shad and his wife to go to the State Fair with us, but they were so fucking indifferent to the proposition that I'm calling off what was a burgeoning friendship. Rot in hell you Fair Haters!!!

But, as per usual, I digress. It was cool to see Zander and "Beautiful" Julie again. Rather than marinate this blog with a bunch of inside jokes (except for an obligatory mention of the Seven Dwarves), I will direct to you to Shad's mobile phone blog. Click here to scroll through his "moblog" and you will come across pictures of Zander and BJ's visit. This includes some pictures of me (and Emily) wearing the gifts Zander and BJ generously gave us (all I gave them was a new nickname for Julie). I also put Shad's two moblogs on the permanent links section in Blognation. Stuck in traffic is a pretty cool idea, I must say.

Maybe Shad's next moblog will be "I HATE THE FAIR," which will just be a bunch of pictures of him giving the finger to fairgoers.

Emily has figured out how we can post our own photos as well. So I hope to add that to my blog soon, starting with some other pics of me, Em, Zander, and BJ.
