Reading (For Dummies)

Luck

Okay so the dilly, since people are bugging me.

The weekend: Annie came, it was fantastic. We went to the Sterling Renaissance Festival, which is in my opinion a big outdoor shopping mall. Oh wait I'm trying not to be derogatory. It was actually fun, with some how shall we say interesting entertainers.

Annie and I cooked, loafed around, did the usual couple things. Was a fun weekend. I was dying for a bike ride by the end of it though. I haven't been riding enough and my body is feeling it.

I went for an awesome ride Sunday night. Got to the top of a huge hill down in the next county, near Peter Plumley's old house. A giant 150lb rotweiller then decided to run out of its neighbor's driveway, unchained, and chase me. Keep in mind I was exhausted at this point, having just ridden uphill for about 2.5 miles. Well I managed to get away, then I came back with a big stick. Unfortunately the dog owner took it inside, so I couldn't kill it.

W'e're prepping for Falcon Ridge tomorrow. Annie and I are going and hopefully we'll be meeting up with some people there. I bought myself lots of Cliff Bars. I also bought myself one of these. I figure it might come in handy when travelling about, and I need to get rid of my desktops. Speaking of which, anybody want to buy one?

Kevin Kelley tried to hook me up with an Apple employee who wanted to help someone out with a discounted iBook, but I called the guy, he says call back in the evening, so I do and he doesn't answer the phone. Then I call the next day, no answer. I call that evening, still no answer. Then I call using caller ID defeat (*67 for those that don't know) and he answers, but says call back in an hour. So I do. No answer. Now he's not answering at all, even if I use *67, so I guess he didn't want to help a brotha out. Ohwell, I think I got a pretty good deal still.

Panicking about money lately, but I forget my brother is sending me some dough from stock he sold. I sold a laptop on eBay and the package got ruined in the mail, so I'm out a bit of money until I can get the USPS insurance claims people to pay me back (even still I'm out some money, since I'm being generous and giving the guy back more than he paid so he won't leave negative feedback).

So my luck is bouncing all around lately. I found it odd when I went to the grocery store this evening and spent $24.13 on groceries (24 is the sum of two primes, 11 and 13), and then spent exactly $13.00 on gas when I filled up my car. So maybe I'll be dying this weekend ;-).
