the other half

2003.11.14 14.47

Let me finish off my weekend before another one sneaks up on me...

It's Saturday morning and I hit the ATM and deposit some stuff I have like my Amazon.com referral checks and a JCrew card refund from when I accidentally paid my bill twice. I then accompanied my hunchback, err... roommate, to Pappadeux for lunch. Our waiter was either (A) high on crack or (B) a jock. Always hard to tell. I was then off to fetch the DeLorean from cold storage. The tires were all low. That would suck except for the Chevron nearby with free air. Nothing beats free air. I bought a tire guage from the Hi-Lo (or whatever it's called now). They freaked over the car. I played it casual. Other than driving in 5th when I should have been in 4th at one point, no problem. I barely got back before they locked the gates. 24/7 my ass.

As I drove back home in my ghetto purple Kia I had to pass my old high school. The band and drill team were outside practicing one last time before the game that evening. It looked good, so I figured I'd attend. Ken Pridgeon Stadium is nearly untouched by time. It is almost exactly as it was when I first entered it back in September 1983. Okay, the fence came in 1984. Whatever. I stayed for the first half and the halftime show. The football team was impressive and I bought a Falcon Football shirt. The band looked good, as usual. I was freezing my ass off so I cut the evening short and went back home after halftime. I wasn't home for five minutes before my phone rang. Rebecca was calling to see if I was interested in see ''Matrix Revolutions.'' Let me hear a ''Hell, yeah!'' It was even better the second time, as I suspected. You haven't gone yet? What's wrong with you? After the revolution was over we hit the Calvin Arms. Nice place. We then returned to my house and met up with my aforementioned semi-hunchbacked roommate and watched some Jennifer Anniston movie. I fell asleep halfway through it. Wimp.

It's Sunday and I had lunch with my parents at the Kirin II sushi buffet. Mmmm. Sushi. I topped off the day by replacing the dead dryer with the dryer my sister gave me. I had to do some spackling to the vent. I love the spackling. If you have any spackling to be done, call me. I'm there. The plug on the dryer didn't fit my outlet so I made a quick trip to Home Depot. After pretending to be an electrical engineer for 20 minutes, I plugged in the new plug and started up the dryer succesfully. Just before I left for the airport I visited with my sister at the new bank she recently opened. Their new surveillance system is awesome. I want some of that on my house. I left and went straight to the airport. Other than sitting next to a completely out of my league hot consultant on the other side of the aisle, the flight was uneventful. I stepped on some dude's shoe while I was unloading my luggage. He pulled it away, pissy. My position is if I step on your foot then it must have been in my way. Tell your friends... and watch your feet.

Been looking through my server logs and found that I'm being linked from Kwlablog.com. Not sure what that is, but if someone figures it out, let me know. David Shepherd, friend of mine from the olden times, now has a slick new site. What's the most stolen image from MarkShields.com? That would be my head to head comparison of Philly Cheesesteak makers Pat and Geno. Mmmm. Cheesesteak. If they could somehow create sushi cheesesteak, that'd be superfly. Honorable mention for linking to me goes to GheySites.com. They link directly to my Richard Simmons scissor-paper-rock game. I need to reprogram that as it still sucks of Hey I Programmed This While I Was Drinking Red Wine On The Plane.

One last note on site statistics. Here's the latest and greatest search engine keywords that folks are using to find my site. What have I learned from this? Well, for one, most people are filthy dirty little perverts. My people! Let's bond. Hmmm. The funny ha-ha stuff and my geek stuff also draw in my fair share of traffic. Nothing wrong with those guys. Have a look for yourself. I've removed all the x-rated and Why The Hell Would Some Sicko Search For This... And Find Me keywords, so you'll have to use your imagination.
