The four of us (Mrs-To-Be, TH, W and Me) had planned to catch up for munchings (dinner or lunch) with assorted munchkins.
When Trianglehoe had said 'next weekend is good for me' - he actually meant the next weekend after the next weekend, it being a weekend when he told us this.
This weekend (which was next weekend)he has his Mom coming into town to help him look at suits for the wedding (when we did it for my wedding we ended up at the pub - he may not trust me for his own wedding!)
After playing phone tennis I finally managed to get 'a hold' of Triangle Hoe the other night.
We discussed wedding things, primarily dresses and suits and the time we went looking for our suits for my wedding. We looked at 2 places, forgot to get a price, and went to the pub. Wifey wasn't that impressed but we still are.
We also discussed hooking up in Eltham for dinner. NT's dad plays in an old time band (banjo) a pizza restaurant there and now with TriangleHoe and Soon-To-Be-Mrs-Triangle-Hoe living just next to Eltham (abode of my Illustrious In-Laws) it would be a convenient meeting place for people on that side of the city. Do Hippies eat Pizza?
Trianglehoe also told me how wonderful his new house is - the best house he has ever lived in since Mildura days. That may have something to do with the 'cohabiting with partner and child' stakes.
On a sad note, he has to 'see' an optometrist every couple of weeks and his new contacts scratched his eyes like a mexican siamese fighting cat. He had to squirt antibiotics into said eyes, by the bucketful which of course made him want to have a cold, cold shower to get himself under control.
I was shovelling and jack hammering fence holes for our new backyard when TRIANGLEHOE rang me to ask if I could help him shift house next Sunday.
Alas,
I had to say 'No can do as I am concreting and bobcatting that weekend.'
It's a shame as helping people move house is one of the highlights of having friends in the first place. As long as you get to play as hard as you work afterwards, of course.
I'll think of him while I am working my ass off all next weekend on my own house projects. It is after all very exciting that Trianglehoe is moving out of "The Flat of Sibling Revelry" into "The House of Fiance Sin".
Since TH got girlfriended and final year of nursing degreed, we don't see too much of him.
BUT
I, Toofy of defunct livejournal boyband Toofy fame, saw him on Wednesday. We both had flat whites and we talked about work, study and how dirty my face was.
I texted him just tonight, my daughter Little talked to him in hushed tones for awhile but everytime she and her brother Bruiser laughed the phone cut out. Just like Monsters INC. Life imitates Animation.
If anybody would like to add an entry about when they saw/hung out/spoke to that all round nice guy trianglehoe other wise known as Snake Head - let me know here. I'll open the mutha fuckin door and let you in.
Yesterday I went to an orientation day, for my trouble they gave em a cool Nurse tool box full of wound dressings and shirt and stuff. Later that day got a call from a hospital saying that I got a job with a hospital that I have really been wanting to get a job with.
As a result of getting this job it means that I have two weeks off school which makes me very happy.
It was the weekend slash end of last week for celebrating my beloveds birhtday.
Thursday night had a delic meal of Mexican and a screening of Bugsy Malone, a very good movie set in prohibition America where children rule the streets and do their dirty work with the aid of cream pies and cream firing guns.
Friday was a day of car troubles, firstly the snug bug didn't want to start so we used my car which did start but alas my tyre got a flat five minutes down the road. Cursed tyre wasn't fixable so I bought a newie - the third new tyre of the week.
Friday night rocked like 1985 - club wild had break dancing, an altercation out the front of the venue that resulted in the cops needing to attend and some good times.
Saturday night the birhtday celebrations continued with 'How to host a murder' set in the 1920's. In case you wanna know who done it, it was Silky - she looks innocent but in this game no one is really free of guilt.
The next day the party continued with some lunchies, great time again was had by all except from the Toofy crew due to miscommunications. I got to meet some cool folks.
