A random port night sounds really good!

At Father's Day dinner on Sunday, we talked about feisty crab - it was still fighting when Mom took its shell off! No wonder there were broken claws! We discussed memorable names in sports: Homer Bailey, Albert Pujols (pronounced "poo holes"), Milton Bradley, Coco Crisp, Angus Reid, etc. Steph retaught Mom how to email pictures using Outlook, which my brother and I have never used before. On the way home, the ug randomly invited me to port night at Jeremy's - since I'm always up for a good time these days, I accepted. Fielded calls from Jon H. and Nathan on the way there: why am I not surprised that my brother left a durian bar at Nathan's?

Jeremy used his favorite CHIMAY mug - I like its shape! Tony called Jon to say that he wouldn't be coming... too bad, since he missed out on a hilarious discussion related to funny names for Jon and Harmony's future children! "The middle name has to start with a P! How about Phineas? It has to be German! Hmm... Hertz P. Ng!" "She says that she's never talking to you guys again!" "Spidergirl? Spiderlady? Nah, it would be weird calling a two-year-old girl LADY, and you can't call a forty-year-old woman GIRL..." "Spiderette!" (me) "Hey, that's a good one!" (Jon H.) Then Nathan broke out his videocamera to record dedications to Eric H., who he'll be seeing shortly in Hong Kong. When he told me to sing the teapot song OR Sunday School songs, I went with a Barney the Dinosaur impression: "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family..." That got laughs from the guys, haha. They said I was wise when I mentioned Fay, not missing / forgetting us, and doing it for her if not for us! It's good to have positive attention and affirmation. :)

We hung out in Jeremy's room for a bit to discuss the international jazz festival, various acts, and his parents coming down that weekend. (Cowboy Junkies, Improv Power Play, etc. Choose accessible acts at cheap or free prices, dude!) Jeremy mentioned banking another day off, and then remarked that there were beers with 20% alcohol - that is CRAZY! Jon H. noticed the Linux penguin by Jeremy's bed, and remarked that it wasn't even of his FAMILY! Jeremy told him that it was embroidered (which I hadn't noticed before), and that he had to do it for art class. Discussed middle names, initials, amusement, and more prior to Jon H. and Nathan leaving. Good thing Nate didn't turn purple! That was definitely a good time!

Yesterday, I had to correct my mom's grammar. Steph overheard, and reinforced the concept that "me and ___" is wrong by telling her that her grammar was horrible! At least she hasn't confused hugging with making out recently! (now THAT was an awkward conversation...) I'll see Erin, Derek, Darren, and their parents tonight at dinner, so it'll be GOOD TIMES!
