In Eckleburg's Eyes - 1/16/2009, Part 2

News & Notes from Wednesday-Thursday, January 14-15th, 2009, Part 2

-On Thursday night, WAM, KLTW, RAW, and I met without KJW. This is significant as part of the rationale for the gathering was so that WAM could deliver KJW’s Christmas gift -Yumi, a 16" plush doll that speaks both English and Japanese. KJW was a late scratch as it made sense for her to spend the night with her aunt PWC who had picked her up shortly before we arrived.

-In spite of KJW’s notable absence, we still had a good time. KLTW had planned on cooking chicken and dumplings (one of my favorites). In fact, she actually did. Unfortunately, she bought a new brand of chicken which evaporated in the cooking process making her uncertain as to whether she had enough food for us all. Actually, she was not entirely sure she had enough to satisfy WAM.

-Instead we ate at Mangia Pizza & More. While talking, KLTW relayed a story in which she once noted that Jesus was a plumber. For an even more random quote, check out the WAM Quote of the Day.

-We then returned to RAW’s home where we played two games of Po-Ke-No. Though the game has several variations, the one we played was no different than Bingo. RAW won the first game while I won the second. This is significant as it well known that KLTW is a cheater.


-After playing the game, we watched the Eddie Izzard DVD “Glorious”. The British transvestite comedian filmed this routine in 1997. WAM was the only one of the group unfamiliar with Izzard and he seemed to enjoy the act as much of the rest of us. If you have not heard Izzard's brand of humor, I highly recommend him.
