The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Way I Feel

Or felt....

Confused: I keep getting "friend" requests from people I don't know, but know people I know. You know? Or appear to. I can't tell if they really know people I know, or if people I know just accepted the request without knowing if the person actually knows who they appear to know. Who knows?

Literary: I sent another waggish article off to ViewsHound.com. If they put it up, I'll link to it here, and you may get a chuckle or a feeling of deja vu or both.

Tropical: On Friday night, I attended the "Summer Blowout" party sponsored by Art House Productions, an annual event at which attendees are encouraged to show up in beachwear. Nobody ever wears an actual bathing suit, just the type of clothing you might wear to the beach over your bathing suit, or alternatively, what you might wear to a luau. So I wore a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, sandals, a lei, and sunglasses (prescription). I looked ridiculous, but it was okay, since everyone looked more or less ridiculous. They had a karaoke machine set up, but I could not bring myself to sing "Twist and Shout", like one unlikely (?) person did. Maybe next year, maybe as a duet? Aloha.
