Whale Watching . . . I think I'll stick to Chuck-A-Rama

Well the Sith Lord Darth Spencer has recently called me out on my lack of blogging. I apologize profusely. There is no excuse, only an apology.

Okay now that we have that out of the way on to this week's blog: Whale Watching! I was invited by some friends to go and look for Whales last weekend. Needless to say I was pretty excited to go.

The excitement only grew as we pulled out of the harbor. The San Diego Skyline is awesome. Just as we pulled out there were literally 50 or so dolphins that began swimming with the ship. That was pretty cool. The coolness stopped there.

I don't know if I am just getting old or weak or what, but my stomach isn't up for this crap any more. I had never been sea sick before, but it hit me pretty fast. I should have taken the 'incident' of me throwing up at Lagoon this summer as a sign. (Yes I threw up in the bushes after riding the spider). The whale watching tour was a 3 hour tour (Go Gilligan). I got sick about a half hour into it, so I spent my 3 hours and $30 lying down on a bench. I got up to look at whales a couple of times and frankly Shamu is much more impressive, plus there is always the chance that Shamu will eat his trainer. This whale tour offered no such excitement.

The coolest thing that I saw was one of these fish at the very end of the tour:
It is a mola fish or a 'sun' fish. It basically sits on its side and eats things. It is a very lazy fish that lets birds fly down and clean it. My kind of fish. It can weigh as much as 600 pounds.

The dramamine that I took half way into the tour kicked in as we pulled into the harbor. We did go to lunch at a great place called Brazil by the Bay. I enjoyed my chicken Millanese and made the resolution that next time whale watching comes around I will put my $30 towards going to sea world and watching the caged animals do tricks for me instead.

Best Couple Costume? I really need to start dating

The air is getting a little bit crisper here in San Diego. With it comes the cooling temperatures. Lately we have only been seeing highs of 77-79 degrees. That must mean that Halloween is just around the corner. To celebrate my roomate Judson and I decided that we must maximize on the opportunity of a creative costume as a way of luring the San Diegan Babes. We needed something creative that would also spark a good conversation. We knew that we both needed complimentary costumes that would draw girls to us (as we do not dare approach them ourselves). Our first idea I still feel is quite clever but perhaps a little insensitive. Judson was going to be a sting ray and I was going to dress up as the Crocidile Hunter. After a two-day debate it was decided this would be funny if the Crocidile Hunter was only severely injured and not killed. With his death it seemed only cruel.

We then returned to an idea that we had been playing around with. A quick trip to the Dickie's Outlet store in the beautiful Chula Vista area and a little arts and crafts time with some old moving boxes produced this:
What you are seeing is correct. Judd is a package from God to Women otherwise known as 'God's gift to Women'. I am the UPS man in charge of his on-time delivery. The costume had much better results than we ever could have imagined. We have to date attended two parties with the following results:

1st Party 'The Booze Cruise':
We decided to try out our ingenious design at the San Diego County YSA boat dance last weekend. Saying the costume was a success would be an understatement. Everyone we walked by would look at Judd with a weird expression on their face, then look at me, then back at Judd, and then burst in to laughter. We had numerous requests for photos. We happily obliged however we required them to 'sign for the package' by giving us their name and phone number on the clipboard. Total number of phone numbers: 23

2nd Pary 'Singles Ward Delight'
Last night we attended a singles ward party. We collected another 16 numbers and were also crowned the honor of 'best couples costume'. We also learned that we were considered 'fresh meat' in the ward. All in all very exciting.

I would love to hear your thoughts on our costume.

Yes I Have a Blog and my Jetta Sucks

Here is my first attempt at joining the great world of blogging. My roommate convinced me to try it out. He claims that people who blog are really cool and I desperately want to be cool. This is his picture to my left. He looks cool. Maybe the blogging got him there. I don't know but I am willing to try.

I would like to declare my strong disliking of all cars Volkswagon. I currently own a VW Jetta (no I don't do Yoga). I'd heard the rumors before I bought it. People told me they always have problems. However in my arrogance I decided to purchase one anyways. Needless to say it's latest repair which has been one of many just cost me about 1/4 of the value of the car. Unbelievable.
