Work has been insane so I haven't had the chance to catch everyone up on the lastest so I'll do the usual and add in some fun tidbits from the last 4 day weekend.
- Friday night -- I went to the suburbs to see a dueling piano event with the retired sorority girl and some of her friends. It was ... something. I remember the first two hours and then was drunk ... drunk b/c that is the only way you can watch dueling pianos in the suburbs. To me, watching a bunch of mid 40's drunk women isn't exactly my idea of the greatest event ever. Regardless, I was drunk therefore, I had fun.
- Saturday -- After nursing my hang over, I did nothing. That's right ... absoultely nothing.
- Sunday -- What better way to start off a beautiful day than with a six mile run. What better way to run a six mile run than on mile 4 trip, fall, bruise your ankle, wrist, leg and scrape up a large portion of your leg. Mind you, this "fall" occurred in front of four people who found it pretty funny ... I admit, it must have looked funny.
- Sunday continued -- car battery died. Seems the Jetta didn't want to play nice so I had to get VW assistance to give Wolfy a jump. My favorite part of the day -- the roadside assistance guy had a tattoo of a naked woman having sex with a giant stack of money on his left forearm. He must have played football at Ohio State.
- Monday -- After some shopping and planning a vacation with retired sorority girl (yay, vacation on a cruise. Sorry Europeans, no trip this year - I need relaxation and alcohol nearby this year), I did nothing but watch war movies and River Monsters. What better way to remember those lost and those that serve by watching: A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day, Hamburger Hill and Armageddon all in the same day. I mixed in some Ancient Aliens and River Monsters as well. Oh ... and no, I have no idea why TNT shows Armageddon once a week. They trying to tell us something?
Now for fun-nes for this week!
- Work - if it were called fun, then we wouldn't call it work.
- Summerfest -- that's right boys and girls, my neighborhood festival is this weekend which means, brunch, booze, sun and I have no idea what else. Should be a fun weekend!
- Also booking another vacation with Dr. Kenneth Noisewater, his fiance and the retired sorority girl to Destin right after the 4th of July. You know, I'm spending a whole lot of my vacation time at the beach ... and I hate the beach. Seriously, I enjoy sand about as much as I enjoy N. Africa, which ironically, has a lot of sand. Maybe I should rethink these beach excursions and head for pub country ... or ... I could do both? Hmm -- fingers crossed for some extra cash to appear.
- Oh and its 99 degrees today -- do you know what its like to train outside for a 10K and Half Marathon in 99 degree heat with smog? It's FA BU LO US ... just like the rapper.
- I've decided that for my birthday this September, Jed is going to buy a new car. Time to pass along the Jetta to another sorority girl and fully embrace the stigma of a Southerner by purchasing a gas guzzling SUV. Looking at the Explorer or the Acadia -- if you have thoughts, keep them to your self because I don't care. I just want a giant SUV that I can store my new assault rifle, golf clubs, random things and bottles of water when the apocalypse / alien invasion starts on Dec. 21, 2012.
Oh boy ... that vacation can't get here soon enough ... Calgon, take me away ... seriously, take me some where, anywhere.
