Happy Tuesday, See You Wednesday! NIGHT!

UPDATE: In at midnight PDT after seeing the premiere of "Michael Jackson's This is It," (pretty spectacular by the way). Up at 7am PDT to go to work, so obviously no time to blog until after work. See you then!

ORIGINAL POST:

Today, I'm going straight from work to the Hard Rock Cafe to meet some friends for the big Michael Jackson This is It dinner, and then movie here in Las Vegas. I have a friend and former roommate who worked for Jackson for many years, so there's sort of a personal connection. Plus, I never get out and do "Vegasy" things, like most of us locals, so it will be fun!

But, it's unlikely that I'll be getting around to blogging for Tuesday. So please, scroll down, see if there's anything you missed. And if you don't find anything new, please come back tomorrow!

Greenlee Gazette Taking the Weekend Off

Apologies in advance for the lack of posts this weekend. The Other Half and I are taking my bosses up on their offer of their cabin up on Mt. Charleston. They offered it as a wedding gift, and it was too good to pass up. Chances are remote that I'll be able to glom on to somebody's wi-fi connection up there, so there will likely be no posts until Sunday, or even early Monday.

My regular fill-in editor, Stupid Monkey Planet, will likely also be joining us, so that leaves the blog blank for the weekend. This will be my first time completely away from the blog since I started it, so I hope you'll all come back when I do! But hey, as long as you're here, go ahead and scroll down. Lots of goodies already here, especially if you weren't plugged in during the week.

Thanks for reading, and bring your friends!

UPDATE: I've found an unstable connection up here on the mountain, so I'm able to get on for brief periods of time. I get one bar on the connection graph, on an unsecured network. But look ma, I found the internet! So, I'll probably pop in a couple of times after all.

Editor Marks 13-Month Anniversary by Taking Day Off!

Actually, that's not true, not exactly. I'll probably have time to put one or two things up before the end of the day. But it's going to be light, due to dinner plans. I'll be back after that to get some stuff up for the morning. In the meantime, please enjoy this little bit of frivolity. . .

Life comes at you pretty fast. . .

Lazy Saturday: Don't Expect Much Today!

The blog comes to cross-purposes today. My site meter is within striking distance of overtaking all previous months save one (December was my best month). I'd love to have enough visitors to surpass the 8 other months I've been around. It gives me kind of a boost, and a motivation to keep plugging away.

But I have a lot to do today. I want to get a new barbecue grill. We bought our current one 10 years ago--the day after The Other Half and I met. I also want to get a new backyard swing. We just had landscapers "fix" our backyard (also after 10 years), and the swing (around 8 years) was ratty and falling apart. I've shopped and located both items, but transporting them presents a challenge. I have a Jeep Wrangler, and The Other Half has a VW Golf. Not big haulers.

Also, The Ex-House Mate is back for a few days to go see Margaret Cho at the Palms tonight! Add this with a dinner out with The Bodacious Friend (explanation to possibly follow from The Other Half at a future date), and a possible overnighter at TBF's house, and we have a full day!

So "lazy" is probably the wrong word. But don't expect many--if any--posts until tomorrow. I may find the time, but probably not. But please do come back (I'm talking to you fickle RSS readers out there!). I'm just taking a blogging breather. I'll be back soon with a view of the Margaret Cho show!

Happy President's Day!

I got an unexpected day off today from work, and have used it the best way such a day can be used: I slept late, and am still in my jammies at 1:30! Unfortunately, I skipped the blogging thing so far, and now have an engagement to get to. . .

So, very light posting, until later in the evening. Add this to yesterday, and it's probably the lightest posting I've done since June. But, I'm still here! Enjoy the rest of your holiday, everybody.

Editor's Day Off

Editor's day off? Well, sorta. I'm having some friends over for the Stupid. . .er. . .that is, the Super Bowl. I was going to place a bet on it over at Silverton today, but the line was long. And with no bets made--and no interest in sports--the Super Bowl hasn't got much to draw me in. Well, except the commercials, and the wayward flashed body part (let it be Justin this time, 'K, thanks).

Add to that the fact that whatever number the Super Bowl is up to (XLII, or 42 to you and me) is the age I'm going to turn in two months. Every freakin' year! Nothing like seeing it up in lights.

But it will be fun to have people over, share my snacks and beer, and generally be slothlike with no guilt. And so, I will not be posting anything this afternoon. Stuff to watch, people to feed. Later, if I haven't consumed too many beers, I might be back. Until then, have fun! And GO WHOMEVER!

Greenlee Gazette Takes a Holiday

There is almost no chance that I'll have time to post at all today, as I'm working 9 hours, and then going to our company Christmas party. This is the first day in probably six months that I'll have only posted one item for the whole day, and even this is just a note to tell you nothing's here today!

So, if you've come by to see us, thank you. Please take a look to see if there's anything new that you haven't seen. And if you don't find anything, please come back to visit us tomorrow!
