Doing Martha......'s Vineyard

I know, I know. You were all very concerned about why there hasn’t been a blog entry in a couple weeks. I even heard rumor that some of you were on the verge of picking up the old revolver and ending it all. NO NEED Ninjas, we are back in business!! After a computer meltdown and a week’s vacation, I am drafting a new blog entry for your erotic reading pleasures.

So what have you missed since the last entry? My computer got a worm, or a virus, or a Trojan condom, or something of the like that makes my searches on the Internet constantly spit out adds for cloning animals, dominatrix hermaphrodites, and devices that apparently make you bigger where you need it (I assume they mean the brain). We therefore have to get it fixed at some point. In the meantime, I am using a superior Apple computer, which I am told does not get viruses because it was inoculated back in the 50s. It has the scar to prove it.

That being said, the other thing you missed was the first annual Graham, Shaughnessy, Dacier, Marselas and Kristopher’s friend Nick vacation to Martha’s Vineyard. I said my name first because I slept the most. I also probably drank the most, though Skip (Kim’s uncle) did have a shot of Vodka at 8:15 am. He said it was to finish the bottle, but I suspect otherwise.

Here is a run down of what we did on vacation: went to the beach, played Frisbee in the water, made 4 meals a day on the grill, went bike riding and running, went to the library (FOR REAL), had a maitre d’ who looked like a male model (that last comment was according to Nick) saw a lighthouse, paid to use a toilet, paid approx. $456 for dinner for two people, watched Germans get naked, went fishing with a hung-over Australian named Darrel, and played Lego Star Wars on Nintendo DS. Oh and Kim complained, let’s not forget that.

However, the highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the fact that I saw Jay-Z. Well, I am 99% sure it was Jay- Z. He was driving a tinted Range Rover and he neglected to wave to me as I passed by, so I am pretty sure it was him. Kim attempted to yell “Jigga WHAT?” out the window but she was too slow. I blame the slowness on the baby who I will never forgive for making me miss being able to yell at Jay-Z (NOTE: Jigga is Jay-Z’s nickname, not a racial slur, although Kim does enjoy using racial slurs. You should have heard her when the Germans got naked). Kudos to Uncle Skip for getting a pretty cool house, and kudos to the Shaughnessys for not minding the dent and scratches on their SUV (I didn’t see that French bus boy till it was too late).

The last day of vacation included visiting Nikki in Boston. She showed us a cheese shop, a sink shop, a dog bone shop, and another cheese shop. She lives in the gay sink cheese district of Boston, so that explains things. We did have a great dinner with a bottle of wine, and then I destroyed Nikki and Kim at Scrabble so, all and all, Boston is awesome. That is all I have to say about vacation.

In addition, we pretty much finished the baby’s room. Crown molding is the devil’s accent piece to any room. I strongly advise no one even attempt it because it steals a part of your life that you will never ever get back…. Ever. Otherwise things turned out pretty nice. I just hope the baby appreciates lead paint cuz it cost extra.

On a side note, I am instituting a new addition to our blog entries. Each time I post, I will give you my recommendation of a song that you should download off iTunes, Limewire, or a song website of your choice. They will mostly be random songs that I think are cool or that I think will make YOU cooler people. Because our baby will need some cool people in it’s life. Enjoy, and remember, they can’t all be winners. Those of you over 35 please consult your local record store on how you can obtain these songs.

This week’s song: Ruby Tuesday by Melanie; it reminds me of the gay cheese district of Boston and it is a remake of a Rolling Stones song. Enjoy.
