Soccer? I Hardly Know Her!

1. I'm here.
2. I can't find my cell phone anywhere, because somehow I packed it, unpacked it, looked at the complete and utter non-reception on it, laid it down, and forgot it. Before, of course, recharging it so it will ring when I call it so I can aurally find it. So if you find my cell phone, good luck with it.
3. Because I can't find the charger either.
4. In spite of everyone and their second cousin using the phrase "More cowbell!" on their blogs, up until last week I had zero clue as to what it meant. Then some flash of radio receptivity barfed up a talk show as we drove through the mountains in innumerable box-shuttlings last week on which (the talk show, not the mountains) they were discussing some hilarious Christopher Walken SNL thingy focused on the phrase "More cowbell!"
5. I cannot tell you how ashamed I am, being the alcolyte at the Shrine of Christopher Walken. I may have to turn in my Ritual Thong.
6. Ask me about my cardboard cut, go on, ask me. I won't tell you where it is, though.
6a. But it was previously presumed to be physiologically impossible to get a cardboard box cut in such an exotic place.
7. It is 110 degrees here today.
8. I had to lie down and rest a lot due to this.
9. The people at Vons grocery were not amused.
10. Exotic in the above case does not mean Tahiti, by the way.
11. Did I mention the cable guy showed up? Only he wasn't really the cable guy, strictly speaking.
12. He was a Cable Repair Technician who had to lower himself (or so he made it seem) to doing install/hookups of cable due to some random babble that I tuned out after the first twenty minutes.
13. Consequently, he had no idea how to configure my email accounts or internet whatevers.
14. He really said "internet whatevers."
15. So I blondely did it, with the help of Patel, the guy on the phone at the helpdesk who was extremely helpful and probably tuned out my own random babble after the first twenty seconds.
16. I can probably host a World Cup Soccer match in the main room of this house, it's that freaking big.
17. Might not look so big if I just had some furniture in it other than bookcases along the walls, but hey.... balls for everyone!
18. Somehow my banner is still showing up here. Odd, considering the image is hosted on my previous isp, since canceled. Shall cease to mention this.... gifty horse mouths and whatnot.
19. 22 bookcases, in case you wondered. Twenty-buggery-two.
20. Did I mention I'm back and I missed you all?
