Early Anniversary

Amanda gave me an "amazing" present yesterday. She bought me Spiderman 300, which I have been looking for an extrememly long period of time. As stupid as it may seem, this is a BIG deal to me since I once had this comic until it was accidentally thrown away in a move.

quiet weekend

Been a while, but I have had my head wrapped around a few things as of late. Most very personal and annoying, so I won't go into it.

Anyway, it was a pretty quiet and laid back weekend, which I have not had in a long while. I spent most of my time either drawing, playing video games, watching tv, or reading. I haven't done that in a long time. It was kinda nice. I felt like I had to get in touch with my inner child so I did play a lot of vintage nintendo. Mega Man 2, Tetris, Castlevania, etc.

Saturday night Amanda and I went over to Mel and Doug's for dinner, which was nice. That was about all I did this weekend that worth mentioning... Though, Amanda and I have been pondering buying a house. While its feasible, I am not sure if its something we should do. Only time will tell.

I didn't sleep too well either, but what can you do.

Tivo and Digital Cable don't mix (very well)

Well, everything was fine until I got my digital cable hooked up yesterday. It works and all, just not like it should. I need one tiny IR sensor that came with the Tivo to make it work with my digital cable, but of course that is the piece I cannot find. But at least after HOURS of working on the problem I know what needs to be done.

On a good note, some friends of mine came over to watch Sin City on my tv. Andrew brought his surround sound so we could "highten" the experiance. It was interesting what you miss if you don't have surround sound. There are tiny little noises and audio cues you miss if you don't...

the weekend

Well, the weekend was as busy as I thought it was going to be, but it was enjoyable. It rained cats in dogs while we were in Lawrence, which made it interesting going from bar to bar.

Sunday was very good. I played 18 holes of golf with Vaup. He beat me by a pretty large margin on the front 9, but I edged him out on the back 9. I finished by sinking a 60 foot putt though.

That night we had a large dinner at "Dos Realies" (spelling?). The food was very cheap and in huge quantaties. Not to mention very good. After which we went to play mini golf, lazer tag, and bowling. However we were only able to do the mini golf because the place closed.

All in all it was a good time, but I know that we are all going to miss Vaupel.

I just paid 32 dollars and 49 cents for gas! I bleeping hate this bleep!

BLEEP!

prelude to the busiest weekend EVER!

Well, last night a bunch of people were going to come over and watch 'Sin City' at my place. Andrew (Willey) was going to bring his sound system so that we could watch it on my tv with his suround sound. Long story short- it didn't happen. So we are going to have to reschedule.

Anyway, as for this weekend- its going to be BUSY. Andrew (Vaup) is moving to NY, and he is going to haev a pub crawl in lawrence tonight... No problem.

As for saturday, Amanda and I have to wake up early to hlep her grandmother move a bunch of her stuff because she is getting carpet in. And since Amanda won some Cheifs tickets at work, we are going to see that game later that night. However, we are going to to have to pay 20 dollars to park...

Then comes Sunday... the day that could very well kill me. I mentioned that Vaup is leaving, so I am going to go golfing with him on sunday at 8 am in lawrence... It will be fun (but hard). Then at 1:30 Amanda and I have to go to Jacob's birthday. Jacob is the son of one of Amanda's friends from high school. After all this there is a dinner in lawrnce for vaup before he leaves.

All in all, this should be a fun weekend, but it is going to be extremely busy. I don't expect everything to go "according to plan," because it never does... So wish me well.

40 Year Old Virgin

Yesterday Amanda and I say the 40 year Old Virgin. It was hilarious. We laughed through the whole thing. It's a movie I reccommend you see. Funny how parts of it reminded me of my early relationship with Amanda...

Other than that, it was just a regular day...

This weekend was pretty slow, which was nice. On firday Doug came over while Amanda and Melissa went "scrapbooking."

On saturday Amanda had to go to her old roommate Prethi's bridal shower. After which we went to Lawrence so that I could go to J's going away party and so that Amanda and Prethi could join Lindsay for Prethi's batchelorette party.

It was nice to spend time with all my old roommates and other friends. Reminds me why I enjoyed my senior year so much.

We didn't do much, just talked, ate, and played monopoly on old school nintendo. Geoff lost terribly (for once) and I did extrememly well. Whenever somone would bankrupt (which was always thanks to me) they would give all of their money and property to J. Though, I still really should have won, when J bankrupted I gave him all of my stuff...

Anyway, all in all it was a good weekend. The next few are going to be very busy.

Today (8-12-05)

I am basically just trying this out to see how this works. Though, as for my day, it has been interesting. Before lunch, Lee (co-worker) asked if I wanted to go give blood. I hadn't done it in a while, so I said "why not."

Well, I have giving blood many times, and this is the first time I almost passed out. It was BAD. I felt sick, tired, sweaty, etc. It was likehaving the flu for about 2 minutes. After that I felt just fine.

Apparently I am CMV negative. Which means my blood is "special" and going to babies. In case you are wondering I am O neg as well. So anyone can have my blood, but the babies get first dibbs. Why that is that? Basically a small amount of the population does not have some anti-body in their blood that; if present, would make babies sick and potentially kill them.

Anyway, its back to work for about 20 minutes. I get off early on fridays.
