Four Shots
Olie Nap
This is what happens when there is never anything good to watch on TV! I may as well catch some sleep-eye before the birds are back feed’n at the feeder.
Yes, to the upper right of Olie boy is a Snoopy music ball. The Peanuts gang is dancing around the old juke box, but unless you’ve got magnificating eyes, you’re probably not even going to notice.
Pals
Rascal is beside her best buddy (made in China, is she?).
“Oh, Rascal . . . what’d ya do to that plump butterball you dragged off the grown young’n’s bed again?! One of these days you’re gonna rip the stuff’n right out of her . . . and then what you’a gonna do?”
Time to move on. To the right of Rascal, on the coffee table, the Mrs. has made herself a drink . . .
Straw-Buried-Bomber
She calls it her ‘Straw-Buried’ Bomber. In a large glass, add half a dozen ice cubs.
Fill 2/3rds with organic orange/mango/peach juice blend.
Cut a couple of washed strawberries in half; plunk the foursome into your glass.
Add substantial amount of original peachtree Schnapps.
Top with whipped cream and a Maraschino cherry.
Poke a straw into the cloud and sit back for the taste of your life!
Tipped
Did I have a few too many yesterday? Was it the steamy heat that got to me or my SBBs (Straw-Buried Bombers)? If it looks like I’m a bit fuzzy eyed and lost in Aspergazstan again, it’s because I am. Don’t worry . . . I can always find my way back.
May I recommend a Holiday? . . . Mr. Bean’s Holiday! I just acquired my own copy to enjoy for those trips Mr. Bean won for me! It’s the perfect solution for us Aspies who hate the crowds on airplanes, restaurants, train stations, beaches, etc. but yet want to enjoy those pleasures the ‘typical’ world gets to partake in.
You can’t beat the price! Five bucks gets me unlimited travel time or until the DVD wears out.

Ghostly Vehicle
Just as there are haunted houses, here is a haunted truck that won’t go away:
Old Truck
Even Rascal, my Chi-Poo, doesn’t want to stick around.
Rascal Romp
Geepers, creepers, . . . we don’t want to be found!

Bean ‘n Portillo
Mr. Bean and Mrs. Portillo
This is not a ‘hate’ joke. I had to find some way to cope with this news and humor works for me. Maybe it will work for others too?
Hey, if I can survive dumb blonde jokes while living life as an Aspie, then Wendy Portillo should have nothing to wail about with humor like this.
If you don’t get the joke, Mr. Bean is an Asperger’s syndrome character. Judging from info about Rowan Atkinson, it appears he’s also an Aspie off camera too.

Up, Up, and Away!
I’m unavailable at this time to write more about Asperger’s syndrome traits until my passion shifts back towards AS itself. The euphoria I’m being gratified by from my currently increased dopamine level (due to my other interests besides blogging) is greater than the “high” that my serotonin level can compete with. Of course, there is the option for me to exercise more and increase my endorphin level by doing so. However, if I did that, then I wouldn’t have the drive to learn as much as I am. For now, I like taking advantage of my obsessive/compulsive educational methods.
In my humble opinion, Aspies were created to be passionate over whatever captivates their interest most. After all, if they weren’t . . . who would be?¹ It takes extraordinary fuel to to escape gravity and travel where most others do not normally go.
Neurotypical folks can maintain ’socially acceptable’ patterns of interest due to their naturally higher levels of serotonin. This is why we Aspies get wrongly judged because of our flakiness. It’s also one of the reasons why we get drugs pushed on us to conform. Those who must fit into the mainstream and swim with the other salmon have no choice. As for myself, menopause has retired me from spawning duties. I’m one salmon who is going to make the most of what life I have left and that cannot be done according to someone else’s agenda of what s/he would think is best for me.
Daily mediation on scripture from the bible does boost my serotonin level, so it’s not like there is no source of counter-balance. Heck, if I threw in heavy-duty exercise with my spiritual menu, I might even start behaving more like a normal person in regards to how I divide up my day! Plus, I might get the added bonus of being less skeptical about people, thanks to also increasing my oxytocin level — but, given the way society is going, I’m not so sure I want to be so trusting. Aspies already tend to be too trusting by nature.
¹This is not to say that NTs don’t accomplish exceptional feats. They do. The difference is that Aspies pursue them in unusual ways, most often by the highest standards. Combine the last two ingredients with unconventional thinking, the result can be something unheard of before.
