Hodge Podge Bagosh
It’s only Wednesday, hmph. Two more days ’til a week of vacay! I think I’ll head up to PA on Sunday night and then head east to Philly, then to Dirty Jersey from Monday through whenever. Girls only retreat, G and me! It should be fun times.
I made an appointment to get my hair did on Saturday which reminds me that I have to go see ”Don’t Mess with the Zohan.” When I first saw the trailer for that movie I immediately thought of my colorist/hair stylist. I swear the movie must be based on him because he, like Zohan, is from Israel and both have the same accent. I’ve never seen his feet move like Zohan’s though. LOL
I can’t stop eating brie and crackers with jam. I crave it everyday and I’m eating some right now.
Gas is $4+! I’m sure you’re aware. I remember when I was 16, back in ‘96, I’d fill up the Mercury Mistake one gallon at a time cuz I was broke. I would have to scrounge up $0.99 to get me around for a short while. Kids today have to come up with $4.50. But I’m sure they’d give me the same ‘whatever’ look I gave my uncle when he used to tell me how much gas prices were back in the 50’s.
My computer at work is ill. No virus, just a memory problem. Mental illness you could say. I boot it up but it just gives me a blue screen with a bunch of jibberish on it. I called the doc (Dr. NerdBoy) and he checked it out. He wrote up his diagnosis and his treatment recommendation on his ‘chart’. Charged $125 for the hour-long visit and prescribed a higher dose of memory. If the problem persists, I’m told, I should format the disk and re-install XP. It feels good knowing that computer healthcare is so easily accessible.
I transferred my credits from MC to UMUC and I have 51 more credits to go. That’s another two full years; nine credits each during Fall and Spring, and six in the summers, plus three more somewhere in between. FUCK. That means I might have to start back up as early as next month. When I tell people I’m still in school, the first reaction is, “graduate school?” Uh, no. I say undergraduate, and then the next reaction is, “damn you’re young!” I just nod my head and let it be. I am whatever you say I am!
Summer ‘08 Has Officially Begun
I had an enjoyable long weekend spending time with friends and family. A good start to what I hope will be a relaxing and fun summer! The festivities began with Francis’ birthday mini-party on Thursday. We ate dinner at Lia’s and then just hung out at home. I got him a carrot cake from Cake Love in Silver Spring. It was good but overpriced, especially for a 6″ size. I think I’ll just stick with the cupcakes if I ever go there again.
Friday and Saturday we hung out with friends in Grosvenor and Cleveland Park, respectively. Sunday morning we headed to Pennsylvania for a BBQ with the fam. We went to a place called Laurel Lake in the Pine Grove area. I remember looking at photos of me being there when I was a little kid. It was beautiful out there and the weather was wonderful. There’s also a mountain spring and the water is so clean. My mom regularly comes up there and takes home jugs and jugs of water.
The food was delish! Francis’ mom also had some galbi ribs marinated but we never got to it unfortunately. There was enough food to feed an army. Later that night we met up with my hometown friends. Fun times as always! Just a little tired and bloated from all that meat-eating and drinking. Sunday we ate some more and then headed back home.
Today I got my pool pass! The management office finally got smart and put each person’s photo on it. Harder to reproduce if you know what I mean ^_~. I think tomorrow I’m going to go browse for bicycles. Time to work on my fitness after two years of sitting on my arse day and night. Maybe I should become one of those people who wake up at 5 am to work out. Hmm…we’ll see. ‘Go big or go home’ right? I think I’ve heard that phrase 100 times in the last month or so and now I’m brainwashed.
SEX AND THE CITY opens Friday! Woot!
