Woke up at 530 this morning to pick up my sister and her *ahem* husband up from the airport from their honeymoon to hawaii. They brought me back 2 coconuts and a beer dyed tshirt! She didn't climb the tree and pick it herself though, I was a little diappointed but I got the coconuts I asked for. And I also wanted a pineapple, apparently that's ( Read more... )

Last week I had this weird fortune cookie that made no sense to me, and so I put it up in my away message to see if if anyone had any guesses ( Read more... )

I just got back from dropping my car off at Nick's to get fixed. Well not really fixed. He needs an overdue (of course) oil change and get teh brakes looked at, they've been sqealing every now and then. I sure hope they're ok and I don't need to spend money I really, really don't want to spend on new brakes. I walked home (it's about 2 miles ( Read more... )

This weekend was pretty cool. First I had to wake up on Sat morning early to bring Michelle and Andy to the airport for their goddamn honeymoney in Hawaii. Bastards, but at least I'll get a coconut out of it. Then got home and went fishing with my dad for a little while. We went out a couple of miles and I fell asleep since I was so tired ( Read more... )

I got my motorcycle license today! (well sorta) Took the motorcycle safety course and they teach you how to ride and then give a test at the end. If you pass, which most people do, you get a road test waiver. This means that in 4-6 weeks I'll get something in the mail and then can go to the DMV for my real license but until then I really only ( Read more... )

One good thing about living at home is I get dinner free and made for me :)

Yesterday my dad finally bought a tv for the deck after months of talking about it; he likes to talk about doing cool things and then never actually doing them. So I was helping him put it up... more like me getting frustrated when he thinks he knows what he's doing but of course really doesn't. He's up in the attic getting the cable wire and ( Read more... )

Yesterday I cracked open that GRE book that I bought last week and started looking through it. God, it's the SAT's all over again. The vocabulary looks harder though. Maybe it's not, just seems that way to me, but I feel I have a pretty decent vocab and there were a lot of words I just didn't know. Why is it that you need to have a 9th grade ( Read more... )

I had softball on Tuesday and we played the team that's 0-8; we're at least 2-6... our only wins coming from them. The first game we won by mercy rule, first time we've been on that side of the rule. I played pretty well, got a couple of walks and a decent leftcenterfield. At one at bat I swung at a pitch that was about 5 feet short but it ( Read more... )
