celebrate good times? come on!

Bush supporter Fred Bautsch does jumping jacks while waiting for his pizza delivery to show up. "Pizza tastes good!" announced Bautsch.
Didn't get into work today. Heard weird alarm early in the morning. Upon investigation found out my heater was croaking. Thought it was my fire alarm. Wrong. The carbon monoxide alarm. Woah. Never thought that sucker would be useful for anything. Kissed alarm several times. Considering marriage proposal. AC dudes were here all day. Realized today was also last day I could take defensive driving. Drove to Blockbuster and picked up big double pack of tapes for $40. Took tests online. Went okay. Passed. Yay. Most boring videos I have seen in months. Questions were all dumb. For example, "Have you watched part 4 of the video?" Duh. My favorite was, "What were the old timey cars doing at the beginning of the video?" Crashing into each other, of course. Fun. I worked on documenting some stuff for work remotely while watchin the video and didn't miss a beat. La la la.

Had court for the famous 'failure to signal' ticket last week. Case dismissed. Judge was one of those older grandfather types. Nice guy. I'll break the law in his district, anytime.

Judges Charles Burton checks a ballot to see if it is a boy ballot or a girl ballot. Smacking his forehead, he eventually conceded that the ballot's gender was too close to call and placed it into the Michael Jackson pile.
Went to Famous Footwear and bought me some shoes. Apparently hiking boots are not ok for basketball. Found a pair of Nike Leather Cortez shoes which are very similar to those the Marty McFly character wore in Back to the Future. Putting together a Marty costume. So far I have a blue jean jacket and the orange 'life preserver' jacket. Yeah, I'm a geek, but what else would I wear when driving? Oh, right, these glasses, too. Funny thing about the DeLorean is that sometimes people come up to me believing all the Back to the Future stuff is real. They never saw a normal DeLorean, so things like time circuits and a flux capacitor seem normal to them. Man, if it actually worked, do you think I would be sitting around? I'd be playing Lotto and moving into my Atlas Missile Silo.

Saw Unbreakable last week with my dad. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Bad wig on Jackson, though. As if they were afraid of having two bald guys in a movie at the same time.

Notice that I visit my parents more often when I'm single. Not related to who I am dating, just that I am not always as busy. Also notice that I'm not eating as much as before. I keep dating girls with extremely high metabolisms. My metabolism is not what it used to be. Not sure what to do about that. Exercise? Yuck.

Went to #'s on Friday night and had a great time. There's a place in the back called The Deck. Went up there and hung out with the scary people. They are more social up there, albeit more stupid, too. However, everytime I'm there I always seem to see flashing of the female variety. Friday was no exception. My bud (codename PookieMan) didn't show up again, though. You missed out on the glands, Pookie! Threatening to reveal his true identity to the world.
