Reading (For Dummies)

I'm ready to be shot into space

Space Monkey

So I went home for the 4th of July. It was..well..interesting. A lot bit of annoyance at having to fix up my brother's new computer, which I'm giving to him, and even more annoyance at oversleeping. And yet more annoyance at people that should die, like James. But I've vowed not to worry about that bullshit anymore. So in a tribute to Pete I'll summarize my actual July 4th:

Wake up, bagel, kiss girlfriend goodbye, car, grandparents. Hellos, meet and greet, pictures, Medoc. Michelob. Flying Fish, Flying Fish, more hellos, Yeungling. Waves, hugs, car. Kat's house. Meets and greets, hugs, pina colada. Pina colada. Pina colada. Corona corona yeungling hot tub. Learning to swim again. Swimming laps. Drying off. Hugs. Waves. Driving home. Sleep.

I guess that's my Thursday in a nutshell. Annie came over Wednesday night and crashed at my dad's house, went to Virginia in the morning. I was sad to see her go. Sometimes it's just really nice to have people around, y'know?

The rest of the weekend was spent being pretty boring, working 12 hours on Jason's computer due to stupid problems, like the motherboard being labelled wrong, and the CPUs having the wrong (ie incompatible) stepping. Ohwell.

And yeah, I buzzed my head in a fit of sober rage Friday night, after watching Fight Club again. But yes, I was planning on head buzz before that anyway. It just made me do it that night. And no, I don't regret the decision despite female parental unit calling me funny names.

Cleaned up my old apartment tonight.

Bottom's Up!

Jason left a ton of crap there, so Chris and I ended up cleaning the place for four hours tonight. Still a little bit left to do tomorrow, but we're definitely getting our damage deposit back, no question about that. More news on the 'morrow, it's sleep time for this simian.
