A Treasure Found at Home

this past sat was tut’s 40th birthday celebration. there we were having a pleasant afternoon on the back patio when suddenly we were attacked by pirates! luckily, i had worn my shirt which is covered in skull and crossbones so i blended right in (once i filched a plastic sword and a gold chain to hang it from). i got this shot of two of the four pirates fighting (with swords on a sward) with my camera phone since my other camera was off with stone having some adventures out of state.

the party was a lot of geeky fun. we drank a slightly more ‘grown up’ version of the cpt’n morgan’s and mtn dew that i drank in college. the pirates brought the rum and the hostess had made lemonade for the two young kids (as opposed to all the 30+ yr old kids).

we watched a video about the tsangpo gorge and spent some time searching the atlas for it’s exact location.

then we drank some mystery drink which apparently is something like eggnog and fruitcake mixed together. you can see photos of the label in my photo stream if you click on the pirates.

we ate home made pizza and i had some cheesecake for dessert. yum!

then i and p (who loved the film noir lighting in the car-one strip of light from the rear view mirror across my eyes) drove up to the city for the second 40th birthday celebration of the day. that one didn’t have any pirates, but there was a room with no apparent use but standing around (space pr0n!) and a heater on the back patio. oh… and the scene of an apparent shooting wich we drove past serval times in our search for parking.

rock on, you 40’s! i’m digging your parties.
