i'm about to leave for the ballgame. i haven't been to the new stadium yet. it figures i'd go when we're probably the worst team in baseball. i got the tickets from my job because i put out this horrible stituation like an effing fire fighter. and so i got the invite to go from my boss's boss's boss (our dept mgr) and some other folk. i'm kinda ( Read more... )

closer to everything, such as stores, parks, entertainment.
gas and ciggarettes are approximately 780% cheaper.

so we finally got (most) of the move done. we're in the lou now. Our place is finally getting somewhere. I'm about to run out to the Home Depot that's right down the street and get some shelves and curtains and stuff ( Read more... )
