As previously mentioned I’ve been MIA from my good and loyal Internets friends as a result of lumber, nails, and cement. After fourish days of intense labor I got a fence! Pics after the jump.

I have been MIA from the Internets for close to a week now. I had a fence to build. I don’t really *do* things that physically manifest themselves in the real world: sheds, fences, mowing, yardwork, etc. But last week, along with the help of my father (really my father with the help of me) built a fence in my backyard.
I am back FYI.
Also, good friend Maura has embarked on a Zombie epic of her own (from which we stole the idea). Today is chapter two. Catch it while it’s hot: every Monday and Thursday.

This weekend the wife and I took a trip up to Fxburg to see Matt and Maura and explore the mysterious Rappahannock River.
Let me say a few things.
First the clientele at the Fredricksburg section of the Rappahannock are different than those I see down at our River. They are less … sophisticated. I even learned a new word to describe them: Spotsytuckians!
Second, the Rappahannock is covered in trash. I mean sure, you see some beer cans and cigarette butts on the banks of the James, but I’ve never seen anything like what I saw this weekend. There were charcoal bags, half drank six packs of energy drinks, empty milk jugs, cigarette packages, beer cans, broken beer bottles. It was astounding. You could have filled a dumpster with the amount of garbage we walked through.
The section of the river we were at was actually really cool and exciting it’s a shame that the experience is basically ruined by the trash (OH SHIT DOUBLE ENTENDRE. I kid (kind of)). The afternoon made me realize how lucky we are to have such an excellent park system in the City.
PS. Richmond is awesome, Fxburg is teh sux0rz.

I’m not saying that the DIE HARD/TRANSFORMERS fever that is sweeping the nation (particularly my peers) isn’t justified. I am just bewildered to say the least, as I apparently missed both the Die Hard and the Transformers train the first time it swept through town*. It is fascinating how much you all start squirming, pumping your fists in the air, or shouting things like “DIE HARD MONDAY WHO IS WITH ME LET’S DO THIS THING AUUUGHHH!”
I want to do the fever justice, but I feel unqualified. So therefore, I would like to put out a call for awesome movie reviews of Die Hard (what is it officially called? Give Me Liberty or Give Me Dying Hard?) and/or Transformers. I will post them on the Misanthropic Review (if you don’t feel like clicking and you don’t know me, that’s a blog on which I write sweet movie reviews)! You write! I post! Everybody’s happy!
Love!
Susan
*Being too distracted by Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Laura Ingalls Wilder books, and probably a little Rodgers and Hammerstein, if I’m going to be completely honest with you.
