best day ever!

Sooooo, friday kicked major ass. It was one of those bizarre days on which all the planets align and just good stuff happens. Firstly, it was the last day of school, that's always good: +1 point. Next, it was Cinco De Mayo, which adds a non US holiday bonus of +3 points.

During his 15 minute noontime news brief, Paul Harvey did a 45 second segment on my former high school. This segment featured the exploitation of a "secret room in the rafters" that I have adventured to in the past. Being somewhere that you're not supposed to be and having that somewhere be on national syndicated news: +45 points.

The guy at Blockbuster (his name tag said "Sasquatch") gave us a free movie without even thinking or blinking an eye: +13 points.

Eating a Banzai Burger at Red Robin: +9 points.

And finally, my girlfriend and I were stopped at a red light and in the lane next to us was a big van. This van was a GMC Safari. The man driving the van had on a safari hat, a safari vest, had a safari mustache AND one can only infer that he was most certainly, ON SAFARI. He looked kind of like this. So, seeing a guy on safari in the middle of Fort Collins on the most awesomeist of Fridays: + a bizillion points.

ps. the safari guy made us think of watching Jumanji and incidentally that became the free movie! crazy connections.
