The 4th was great - it always is. I went to my brother's (as always). Big family cookout. I love getting together with my family. Got there around 1 pm and left around 8:30. Then I went to a friend's house and watched the end of The Princess Bride (I love it...) then City Slicker's (never saw that one). My friend Brian was making and...

Wow - be careful when you drink Gosling's Black Seal Bermuda Black Rum. 140 proof - it steals your memory.

My room is in the basement, and the 3 walls that surround my bed are gross and unfinished. I covered one with a big afghan when I first moved in, and I have a couple prints to hang on another, but I'd been trying to think of something cool to do with the main wall. Well, I was futzing around online tonight, came across an ee cummings archive, and starting mooning over his poetry. <3
I finally got the idea to pull out these old homemade paper samples I bought for an art project years ago, and copy one of his poems on each one. Then I'll either tack them on to the wall so that they cover every surface, or if my landlord doesn't mind, I'll just decoupage them right to the wall like wallpaper.
That line was the last one I wrote out tonight. It felt like a good stopping point.

Finally getting back into a routine at the gym. Been working so much that I didn't want to go when I got out. Weekends are still an issue. Almost 3 pm on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and I'm on the computer. I must be insane!
Yeah, I do feel that way sometimes. Well, not really insane, just depressed. I'm doing pretty well overall, but I...

Nah, the fundraiser I went to is called Cruise Night. They do it like once a month, I think. There's a little cookout behind Javaspeed, and the roller derby girls serve hamburgers and hotdogs on their skates. Then, at like 10pm, there's an afterparty at the Penalty Box down the road, and they have a few bands play. It's a good time. I still keep meaning to go to one of the derby bouts, but I keep having plans whenever they have them.

thank you!! i think that wraps it up for major social events this summer...can't say i'm disappointed. her husband is gradually moving all his stuff in and is basically living here now. i'm good friends with both of them but the dynamics of 3 people and 1 bathroom, plus all those other little roommate issues can get touchy. I'm well aware of this and don't want any of us to start resenting each other, so i'm looking to find a place and be mostly out by the time they get back from their honeymoon. sucks though, i love my place

Busy busy busy... At least I'm getting out.
The final Soprano's - can't say I was disappointed. It ended in typical Chase fashion. I was surprised at first, but he never did wrap anything up with a nice neat bow......
Monday and Tuesday were work related events. I had to go to a baseball game Monday

i definitely stand corrected!
Where has the time gone? At least I've been having fun.
I still haven't heard back from the bank about the $2000. error on my account. They have issued a temporary credit, but they haven't told me that they decided in my favor yet. In the meantime, since I KNOW I didn't spend that $$$, I have been using it.

my little tribute to Elphaba 


OK - maybe I just enjoy running around and never being home.
Tazza messed up my Tuesday nights. They moved the jazz jam to Thursday - so when I got there, Sarah - my bartender (who is leaving in August to go to medical school at Drexel
) - told me they were closing at 10 and the jazz night moved. Hung around til about...

After a nice couple of days in Vermont, then relaxing around here, I am totally flustered by recent checking account activity. Seems I was charged $2000 instead of $116 at an establishment. That set of a few overdraft transfers and charges. Just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with the bank and merchant. I hope it all gets cleared up! I don't want...

I felt the need to change my entry but didn't have anything I felt like sharing, so I did a google image search for "spring." It's not what I was thinking of, but it's far more interesting than any of the other options.

The Lifestyle is an amazing amount of fun... who woulda thought!
As for work, it's going great! Just took over a big project today as the technician who was here is on his way down to Utah to do a job, so there's a good amount of work on my plate at least for the next six weeks, and I scored some big points with the dispatcher by taking this one over as it is a high maintenance job. But life is really good.
PawSox? I'm guessing MLB.... that would be sweet... we don't get anything interesting in Red Deer!

Where the hell has my mind been for the past 2 months? I've been running around from event to event - out most every night and never wanting to wake up in the morning. When I don't need to be somewhere (i.e., work) I stay at home and sit in front of the computer wasting my time. Usually just playing solitaire so I don't need...

The subconscious is always working to pull you back in again. Is there cause to? Maybe you have unfinished business.
Oh, and i DID have a hat!! But I forgot to wear it, even just for a picture or two. Such a shame.

Officially on vacation today. Slept 'til noon. I guess I was tired. Still been going out a lot. Last night was tazza for the jazz jam. Monday, a bunch of us went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. Before that was the weekend - you know how that goes!

Got out at 8:15 - that's a 12 hour day! Way too much aggravation. At least I felt like I got a few things accomplished today. Yeah, part of my day was a 2 hour call with our software guy. Why do we pay them for support when I spend so much time de-bugging...
