 picked up a couple of birthday presents for mel last night, and fell asleep before the sopranos even came on, guess i was beat.  no big plans for the weekend, beyond going out for drinks and a bite to eat with erick and doreen friday night  after work.  maybe philly, who knows...  grabbed a bottle of black buca on my way home, have to brew up some coffee or maybe fill up the flask and go out for a good cup.  need to pick up an espresso maker.  very much looking forward to getting through the next week and a half and going down to the city for the weekend.  maybe hit the italian market for some bread and cheeses.  always a high point...  need something new to read.  i'm in one of those ruts i hit occasionally, when nothing particularly appeals to me but i really feel like reading.  sucks.  need to get a new pic up.  the one i have posted looks like ass, and i have to see it every time i make a journal entry.  enough random rambling.
