The decline of Summer.
« on: Sep 12, 2009, 09:37:00 PM »
The trees are just starting to change over, and tomorrow me and Kary are going to pick apples at the orchard. Nothing beats fresh apples and assorted apple things with fresh hard cider. Then comes pumpkin stuff, including a pumpkin festival on my brother's 21st birthday, which I can't wait to make stuffed pumpkin. Then comes my birthday, and then comes all hallowed eve, in the meantime it's gonna get cold... and FOOTBALL!!!!   :aroused:

This is my favorite season.
I said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes;
We been running for awhile. Why don't you lay dow, I'll make you smile.
I could never ask for nothing better than this;
It's just tequila and the beach, it's quite salty when we kiss.

Fall to me is the calm before the shitstorm that is post-Halloween/Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Christmas season/New Year's crap.  November to mid-January is my least favorite part of the year.  I know it's f'ed up to not enjoy these things more, but considering I used to sleep through all of them and now I maintain relatively awake and sometimes even participate, progress appears to have been made.

I've never had cider before.  What the heck is "stuffed pumpkin"?  Duh, it's a pumpkin, but what do you stuff it with?  Is it for eating?  I'd sooner assume it's some weird sexual thing were it not for the context of your post.

Take some rice and meat, stuff inside pumpkin, bake and then serve the pumpkin and filling.

What kind?  Like red meat or chicken?  Do you use itty-bitty pumpkins or Oprah-sized?

What I am going to try is an Egyptian recipe for stuff pidgeon, but using that stuffing in the pumpkin.

November to mid-January is my least favorite part of the year. 

I hate Jan-March. I call it the Stretch  of Death. This is usually the coldest part of the year here and when we get snow and ice. Also a lot of stuff just closes here after Christmas, since they depend so much on Tourist dollars and we don't get any at that time of year. If they don't close completely then they have winter hours (usually 9 AM- 6PM). Then there is college Basketball's domination of the airwaves at this time. Which I couldn't give two shits about. Maybe if I moved and didn't have to deal with this kinda stuff I'd like that time of year better.

I dislike July after the fourth up to the end of August. It's always too hot and there's never anything interesting aside from maybe a good summer movie.

Actually I don't care much for my birthday either. It was always so close after Christmas I never got anything good (that was all wasted on Christmas.) and half the time my presents came wrapped in left over Christmas paper.

It starts going downhill for me right before Christmas. I always have hope before Christmas. Then it gets ruined for me and things arn't right again till April Fools day.  I do take comfort in the fact that Halloween comes right before this, and at Thanksgiving no one shows up to ruin it for me...so It's just a day to eat turkey and watch movie marathons.

I generally dislike this time of the year too for the same reason (heat), although I was always conflicted because of my birthday.  We had like 35 days of over 100 degree heat here.

Which is why I could never live anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. Yes, I lived in Florida, but that was an accepted temporary state to save money.

Not when done right, tourists pay big bucks for gator tail.

Actually, my parents were residents of Florida. I had to go there or else pay through the ass for my edumication. Plus, Kary lived in Miami. Where was I going to go, Gainesville?

Every season has its caveats and good points, though I could do without summer. But I have to say that we've had one of our more temperate years here in MS.

November through March is the best time here.  I wish I could move or hibernate (in a 3-story pier & beam house on a hill) from May through October.  I'm hoping the flood demons will be content with the April sacrifice and spare us the usual October 2-day monsoon.

Weather-wise, it's admittedly pretty good.  Also, I hate losing my one hour for DST.  I loved it when I was a kid, but now it kinda sucks to lose that hour of daylight.  Maybe I'll change my tune if I get a job that requires me to early morning commute and start desperately grasping for daylight.

Well, considering that he's a conservative christian who probably doesn't believe in sex outside of marriage, ear fucking is just about the only thing he's allowed to do.
