I think I’ve mentioned this before, but for those of you who didn’t believe me, The Smoking Gun have a copy of the police report from New York in which a Canadian man is suing Starbucks because he somehow crushed his…er…manhood…in the toilet seat.

The thoughtful people at TSG visited the scene of the “crime”, and have helpfully snapped a Polaroid of the defendant. Which leaves me to ask the question…how in the hell could this guy poss…I mean, it’s a….oh, I give up.

I’m pretty much dog-tired right now, so here’s the quick and dirty version of the weekend update – details to follow later…

Friday: Laundry, laundry, and more laundry. Managed to flip and make my bed by myself, which is a) an adventure in and of itself, and b) something I will never ever try again. Darren and Tim came over later that evening, for another edition of “XBox Up All Night”.

Saturday: Slept late. Got a haircut. Went to Darren & Ali’s to celebrate Darren’s 26th birthday. (Pictures to follow.) Stayed up way too late playing Trivial Pursuit. More “XBox Up All Night”.

Sunday: Breakfast at the Sussmans. (Thanks Ali!) EXTREME shopping at Target. Went to my parent’s house to watch WWE Summerslam with my father and Steve.

That brings you up to date. Sleepy now…

I don’t quite understand why, but for some reason I’ve been really tired during the morning at work this week. I say I don’t know why, because I feel like I’m getting plenty of sleep (or, at the very least, as much sleep as I was getting before I moved into the Apartment), my new bed is really comfortable, and I’m having no problem waking up for work in the morning. So I don’t get it. Any ideas?

Here’s some photos from today’s combination housewarming party/birthday party for Ward.

photos from Becca’s birthday dinner are now online and available for your viewing pleasure.

Once again, the guys at Penny Arcarde manage to capture me exactly…

MiltyD: So what do you think the english-translated Japanese title for “xXx” would have been?
MiltyD: I was thinking “Super Happy Extreme Death Man Explodes Magic”
Wawar1: Ummm…..”Man With Tattoos Jumps Places Where Things Are Shooting Fire”
MiltyD: “Crazy Xander Extreme Man Super Explosion Adventure”!
Wawar1: “Man Has Big Gun. Can’t You Tell He Is Serious?!?”

I know I haven’t blogged much of late. I’ve had the apartment thing going on, then there was Becca’s birthday, and the not sleeping so much, and the absolute most craptacular day I’ve had so far at ETS. So that’s why there are no photos from Becca’s birthday dinner posted here yet. But they will be. Soon.

Also, a quick memo to the good people at IKEA: You can’t have any more of my money. You have it all already.

Phase one complete. Moving into phase two…
