Daily Update

The first day of August met me with a bit of surprise. Indeed I was awaiting it, but yet, still not prepared for it. Another month down. This morning I woke up at 7:30, like usual I got up just to turned my alarm, then rested my head back on my pillow. Oops. I then opened my eyes at 8:35. I blinked and then in a magical whirlwind when I opened my eyes it was 9:30. Double-oops! I raced off to work. When I got there I pretended nothing happened, but I did have to skip my donut & milk voyage though.

So yesterday I got kind of bored sitting around my place, thinking of starting to clean my room. I called Jeff and he requested I get a phone number for him of an apartment in my neighborhood. I did; then I went over to Veteran. When I got there, they announce that they were going to view an apartment. Oh OK, I went with to give them an extra opinion. When we get outside they then volunteered me to drive them all over, back to the street where I was before. Exactly next door to where Jeff had me go to get him a number. So then I wonder to myself why he had me waist 6 and a half minutes of my evening just to come back over there. But whatever.

The apartment was just below the OK line. Small, dirty, in dis- repair, etc. The apartment was the victim of many 'home additions', fix-it-yourself jobs, and late night experimentations. It was one of the most Frankenstein of any apartment I'd ever seen. Don't get me wrong, it had plenty of potential. But for 4 guys to move in their with all their furniture would have been a small disaster. Jeff didn't see any of the downsides of this place, yet luckily Josh, Scott, and I did. When describing the situation to Plewe later at their place, Josh and I had to correct the description, and paint a 'true-er' picture. I guess that in the whole picture the price and washer/dryer hookup's were the only two pluses of that place. Next
time perhaps.

We intermittently were watching a movie, but had many interruptions. First the apartment, then a late night snack. I don't know what they/we'd do without a Jack in the Box at the end of the street. We slowly made our way down, and at the same time told the Bean Girls to meet us there. We had a lovely dinner with Jess, Kami, and Baby Spice. We stayed there gossiping about everyone and everything. At the end of the night Jeff was quick to offer a reenactment of Jim's 'awkward' silliness that took place yesterday.

After lunch, on my way back to work, I stopped by the eyeglasses store. It was fairly uneventful. But, right outside that store they were filming something. I got carried away while watching them film take after take; then raced back to work.

Lunch was sponsored by jamba juice and 'Stride' chewing gum.

I'm listening to exciting audio books right now of a boy wizard named Harry Potter. Have you heard of him? I think his book will become popular one day. You should check them out, there's a whole series of them. I finished the first one on Tuesday before lunch. I finished the second one this morning. The third one tomorrow sometime.
