A decent weekend.
Saturday I got off work and played some Call of Duty 2 before bed. Slept, bought some great comics and later went to my buddy’s surprise birthday party. We sort of weren’t paying attention and he walked in on us while we were sort of just standing there. We hurriedly yelled,’ surprise!’ and tossed quarter sized rubber balls at him. I can’t remember what we use to call the balls as kids. Super balls I think.
My buddy lives in an apartment complex so we had to sort of hide our cars. I picked a lousy spot and needed to go back out and hide my car because it was in plain sight. I couldn’t find a decent parking spot and drove around the whole complex three times. Complicating matters was the birthday boy was due any minute. So I’m blasting around and finally found a spot about as far away as possible from his apartment not really by choice. I then hustled it back to the apartment not wanting to be caught by him if he pulled in. I really must have looked fairly stupid to any on-looker.
I think I heard one of my long time friends say he was getting divorced which is really to bad. I’ve always thought he was one of the most honorable and stand up guys I’ve ever known. I look up to him. To hear that he and his wife are most likely breaking up saddens me. They have two year old twins to complicate matters. And another friend apparently has a son. I thought from previous snippets of this child that it had died in it’s infancy or something. Then I found out another friend had been fired from a company we both worked at. And his wife is his immediate boss. I know virtually nothing of this story but he had been working there for at least four or more like 5+ years. I was rather shocked. Something about improper use of a computer. I know he use to burn disks for himself and print things out too. Never saw him do anything with porn though. But overall, the party was decent.
Sunday was fairly laid back. I did a couple of drawings and spent more time on Call of Duty 2. My brother has recently starting playing Civilization 3 again. It’s my all-time favorite game and a HUGE time killer. Games can often take 20 or more hours to play through. And I just found my disks for it as I was looking for something else.
Dinner at mom’s was pretty awesome. A roast, green beans, mashed potatoes, fresh bread and corn on the cob. Yum! I spent about 2 and ½ hours there since I hadn’t seen them in two weeks.
Today is chores day. Finally cashed two paycheck I had kicking around. One is paying for my room for DragonCon later this year and the other is paying for most of next month’s mortgage. So other than some petty cash to spend the money was only going into bank accounts and not really to me.
I bought new ink cartridges for my printer. $55 freaking bucks for all 4. I might as well just buy a new printer. It’s almost as cheap too. I also bought 3 more of this new type of t-shirt. It’s an athletic material that I LOVE! It’s so comfortable. Some materials don’t agree with me if/when I sweat. This material doesn’t. I’ve had to ‘put down’ a couple of awesome shirts because the least bit of sweat and I stink to high heaven no matter how much deodorant I use. It should be noted that I shower regularly and don’t stink except for certain situations. I’m very paranoid about stinking.
I had a dream a few months back and was wondering if it would come true. And it did to a tee. I had just started in the Dual Core area at my job and had a dream about being out of the area but checking back in to see if I was needed. The first night I was back at my old area the Dual Core area called for my services. I walked down and spoke to the supervisor and she told me I wasn’t needed and could go back to Custom. Exactly as it happened in the dream down to the very same words she said.
I called today to finally make an appointment for my taxes. The lady on the phone offered me tomorrow night! Yowza! I was expecting something like a month’s wait. Someone cancelled their appointment and I’m the beneficiary of it. So my appointment is tomorrow night at 7pm. She did offer me something next week though when I was hesitant about it.
I don’t think I have much else at the moment and I have to do my last chore still – the dishes. Yuck.

Dishes are my least favorite chore. I don't like doing them at all. My hands get all wrinkly. Ugh.
I don't wear gloves, because then I can't feel to make sure the dishes are truly clean. After all, just because they look clean doesn't mean they are actually clean!
