What I did over the weekend
Jun. 18th, 2001 10:14 amOK, I haven't written in this thing since Friday, so it's time for catchup, I guess.
OK, as close to chronologically as the altered state I'm dealing with due to not being at all awake...
So, Friday I went home early (no one was here at work anyways, including my boss. I took a nap (in preperation for midnight bowling), played some video games, got a call from Soreth (the guy who no internet access at the moment) to hear good news that his family is doing a line test to see if he's OK for DSL. If he is, he'll get it within a week.. and within that week will have access to a free number for his modem (which will be slow as hell, but.. better than nothing!)
Unfortunately, my call with Soreth got cut short because of an insistent beeping in the phone I kept hearing which I later found out was the call waiting we have now (not that anyone has shown *ME* how to use it!)
I *DID* go Midnight Bowling with my brother. For those unfortunate enough not to know what Midnight Bowling is, I'll explain it...It is Bowling (the sport with the heavy bowling ball and the ten pins).. at midnight. How is it different from usual bowling? A few differences: 1) They turn most of the lights and turn black lights on so that pins.. and some of the bowling balls, glow in the dark... 2) They turn Music Videos on that you can see either from your display or two central screens during the bowling.. so that you are bowling to music. This is, all in all, in my not so humble opinion, ten times better than regular bowling because it's so much cooler.
Anyways, despite my protestations, Joshua refused to take the nap I asked him to and so spent the entire 2 hours yawning and tired. Then came home and told me *I* was annoying. I dunno if I'll do it again... if I DO, it will NOT be with just him. He's just not cool enough to hang around. Especially when, having TOLD him to take nap, he didn't and then was cranky through the bowling.
Saturday came.. woke up much earlier than I'd have liked. C'est La Vie. Called Babbage's and asked if Startopia was there yet. Of COURSE Not! It's been booted to the 26th now =P *grumble*. So I decided to console myself by getting a $20 program (Dance Ejay) instead.. plus needed to get a new wallet and a book. So I drove to the mall.. then I drove to BJs Wholesale to get stuff (I got more of the sparkling water I love so much).. then we went home, I called my friend Dave, made plans to go see "Swordfish" (GOOD Movie! GO SEE! Lots of Explosions!) and we had a discussion. I forced him to tell me about his trip to Pittsburgh with the woman you love to hate, Marci and her boyfriend, Mike (?.. I THINK his namje is Mike. It doesn't matter.) which once again leads me to believe that my friend Dave is a complete and utter idiot when it comes to this woman who has used, abused and then thrown him out.
Oh well.
So, Sunday comes along.. and it's the first Sunday we go to the beach (the family has a long standing tradition of going up to Crystal Brach, Canada to my grandmother's cottage. We go to the beach then eat dinner at Grandma's. It's a good tradition, except for the bit where I tend to get sunburned easily. )
So I brought my book along, enjoyed the sparse sun, went home before I got sunburned (I may have gotten burned a little around the neck, but it's not bad.) and it was an altogether pleasant day at the beach.
I got home and called Soreth back and we had a pleasant discussion about this, that and everything else.
Then I went back to reading my books and turned in for the night.
That's all I have to report, I guess. So now I'll read through my friends weekends and go seek out my boss again. Toodles, people!
