Good (insert time of day) REOvillians!
Last night was my Thursday Valeriekkah dinner night. I didn't want to cook, so just did a ham with some baked potatoes (serious no-brainer pop in oven meal with no prep) and my friend made kale and spinach and they had french bread. All 3 of my brothers came, along with 3 other friends. My (normal) brother brought me a package of GF snickerdoodles and DH put candles in them. They were the gag candles that relight themselves, and I was able to blow those suckers out just fine (several times until they finally sputtered out) because my lungs work! YAY for vaping!
We all had a really great time.
Except for the part where my (weird) brother, brought a geiger counter (or something similar that reads levels of radioactive danger?) and was warning everyone that fallout from Japan is down below in LA. He told DH that it went to "level 2" when he walked in the room so sagely advised that he go change his clothes as contamination from him being at work in the contaminated city was causing it to jump a level. What a f'ing buzzkill. He doesn't even realize how utterly stupid and inappropriate it is to take that thing and gauge everyone at a bday party then pronounce them either radiated or not.
I got him to leave by putting on WD, since he has never seen it he makes rude comments about how he doesn't like zombies he only likes vampires (as if they are real?) Then he goes on to say that the whole 2 minutes he did watch convinced him that the show is dumb because everyone he has seen was too stupid to live (because he is an expert on zombies and survival, and radiation also apparently). Then he leaves so as not to be subjected to such a stupid show (just forget that he is here to visit, it's all about the TV). It works like a charm every week, and I really hope he doesn't take an interest in it because getting him to leave used to be difficult and he would stay hours after everyone else left, even after DH has gone to bed and I have been forced to fall asleep on the couch.
Seriously, I can't make this stuff up. GET OUTTA MY HOUSE and take your party buzzkill geiger counter thingy with you.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday the 13th, and healing thoughts to those who are in need!
