Even when it falls on a Friday. Nothing special about yesterday I suppose. But that’s a good thing sometimes, right?
It was only Troy and me for the Friday walk as everyone else was too afraid to go out on the 13th. Cowards! Well, to be fair they did have legitimate-sounding excuses, but still.
The Barretto Singles League officially kicks off tomorrow. A couple of players have played ahead and I appreciate their enthusiasm. I have a bit of pride in the fact that I invented the format almost ten years ago back in Columbia, SC. The league was also very popular in Seoul and continued on even after I left town. I’m kind of hoping that playing singles again will reinvigorate my passion for the game. It better, because being the commissioner and keeping up with the stats and standings is going to be a pain in the ass.
Yesterday afternoon I went out with the intention of getting a haircut and then going to the vape shop for some supplies. The barbershop was full though and I wasn’t going to wait around. The vape shop didn’t have the parts I needed either. Bought a substitute but I’m not sure it will work properly. Time will tell. And looking back, that’s the worst that happened to me on Friday the 13th.
I left the vape shop and headed over to Cheap Charlies for a gin and soda or two. Hell, maybe it was three. Then I crossed the highway and popped into Sit-n-Bull for some dinner. After perusing the menu I settled on my favorite French dish:
After dinner, I thought some ocean views would make a good dessert, so I headed to Mango’s. On the way, I saw this treehouse and I really, really want one!
If I sign a new lease on this house next year I’m thinking of putting my own nipa hut out back. Just a place to hang out when I have company over. I’d also like to hang a hammock inside to use for my afternoon naps.
Going to do the dart tourney at Alley Cats this afternoon. As is my custom, I’ll bring the girls a little treat.
And finally, there is this–an actual ad that appeared on my Facebook feed:
What I really want to know is what made Facebook think this was a product I might be interested in? Even at my creepiest I’d never want a sleeping partner. Starfish like Mary are bad enough.
And that’s it for today’s slice of life. Thanks for stopping by!
The chinese characters say “only takes 3 seconds”.
Thanks, Daeguowi. Scary stuff!
The treehouse is awesome. And having your own nipa hut/shwimteo is a good idea, as long as it doesn’t get blown away in a storm.
The nipas are ubiquitous around here and seem to hold up well against just about everything nature throws at them. Except for the high tide.
