Daily Update

Kami made it home finally. I think the doctors and nurses were scared of her, and what she'd do to them if they made her stay. She was very ready to leave, and hopefully is on the road to recovery.

So Last night after work I walked by the 'transformers' premiere. It was cool. There were lots of famous people and lots of screaming little girls and people with cameras. Some of the girls walking down the red-carpet looked like mannequins because of how plastered their make-up was. I recognized a few people but only their faces, I don't know famous people's names. I finally realized how lame it actually was, so I left.

fter I got home I decided to think about going running (or doing anything productive) while I Fought the Battle Of My Life. It wasn't my most productive moment, but I was successful in defending the universe for yet another day. I've been stuck on a broken down space station, with evil Sith creatures and angry robots chasing me. Last night I finally fought my way off the space station and escaped in an space ship. My character is currently on planet Telos looking for two escaped assassins. I'm cooperating with the TSA government security in order to later
receive information on how I can leave that planet. I'm using my jedi skills to influence people and conquer evil.

Eventually I spoke with a few kids who were planning to go and visit Josh up at the dorms at ucla. It was a scattered assortment of Greenfield, Selby, Veteran, Eastborne, and then Trisha and also Evan2. After meeting at Greenfield (where Sara and EmWin were both golfing and then boxing via the Wii) we carpooled up to campus. Now the dorms aren't really open to the public, so we just found our way into a large auditorium, where it was warm and smelly. We just crashed for a minute before I found out that there was a microphone up front. As I was preparing for my speech, I noticed there was a portable mic right there as well. Oh boy. After sound checking I quickly wired Maggie up and let her take it from there. Boy, Howdy! It was like plugging in a Christmas tree. She lit up, and didn't stop singing the entire time. No, no kidding, the entire time. It was like request night for all of us. We started out patriotic, then moved into the love theme songs, then classics, then show tunes, then Neil Diamond (she even threw in a few seconds here and there of General conf. RS talk imitation speeches [terrific!]). But then when 'Group A' had to leave, it was coming up on curfew time anyway.

Not that I need any more nerdyness in my life, but during lunch I wandered down to the post office in one of the mob buildings on Wilshire blvd. I went to the post office to buy Star Wars Stamps. Its a novel thing that I can use eventually, but as I was walking up to the building I see this dude who was the ultimate in nerd-dom, passing me. I was thinking of saying something to him like: "may the force be with you", or "live long and prosper". But I didn't. I didn't have a chance to because I quickly noticed in his hands a large transparent stack, full of Star wars stamps. I was caught off guard; i then tried talking myself out of going and buying those sorts of stamps for myself. I didn't want to be able to compare myself to his dork. But it had taken so long to make it that far, I went anyway. I was buying for someone else in my office as well, so It was like a good deed.

Today lunch was sponsored by Jamba juice. (It wasn't as exciting as a thursday normally should be; No hospital visit, and no Mob Talks.)

I'm listening to the Misfits right now. They are singing funny cover songs.
