which_chickWent to the Hall ride (start of summer) yesterday. It was a pretty good outing. I rode sat on Taku, whom Theron rode on the ride. She did an okay job of it, really. I beat Nick up for throwing a fit on the first vehicle that went by. This was probably the most ineffectual horse whuppin in the entire history of the world, amounting to a few feeble bats of her ears and the top of her head, but she took it fairly seriously. Behavior on the car/buggy front from that point forward was much improved. It's possible that she's been gaming the system since forever. Bad horse.
And then I tried (after the ride) to lead my pony down the driveway while driving the car and holding the horse through the car window. In retrospect, this was not one of the moments wherein my fearsome intellect shone brightly. Bit of a dim bulb event, really. I kind of wonder what I was thinking. Anyway, the IRH bumped her butt on Hazel's car (parked in the driveway) and got all ballistic and yanked the lead pretty solidly so that now I have rope burns on my right hand and a huge hanging flap of skin on the first (near the nail) joint of my left index finger. The huge hanging flap of skin is sort of folded back down where it should go and I put a bandaid on it. We'll see. I'll probably have to cut off the flap of skin but I am not feeling up to that just yet. In spite of the excitement and injuries, I did not let go of the horse.
Following that, I got stuff for mojitos and Lala and I drank mojitos and watched Gridiron Gang a predictable and poorly-executed sports movie of the genre that also includes Glory Road (an okay film) and Remember the Titans, a much better movie with more eye candy and homoerotic subtext. The mojitos did not soften my view of the film but they did make watching it more bearable.
Hey kids! When you get to be grownups, you can have lime-n-mint rum drinks with a side of microwave popcorn for dinner, too! Isn't being an adult fun?
