Daily Update

A few days ago Steve from my work (the swear-artist) gave me a new pen. It turns out that he was offended by my current Ball Point Pen situation. I don't use all my good pens at work, they are stored at home in a secret location until I can finish my Man-Box then they will be stored there. And Yes, the Man-Box will still be finished, it just took a time out for a little bit. So he gave me this pen that is sleek metal with a laser pointer and small LED light at the end of it. It was pretty nice of him. So I can't make fun of him for a few days.

In the last few days I had to stay at work till 9:30pm. On friday night I was so anxious to be done. As soon as we were done at work, they asked me to go and drop something off at the printer. I was annoyed, but did it.

At Football practice on friday night I played Ref. after showing up really late. Then it started raining pretty hard. It was kind of fun. but really wet. We all went to Jack in the Box afterwards, then to Jeff's to watch TV. It was funny cause none of the roommates were there. Just us.

On Saturday Morning I treated myself to French Toast after a well deserved Sleep In.

The USC football game was terrific fun, except for the nervousness that it brought me. I think I spent the majority of the time gossiping about people I know, and even don't know. They need to score more points for me in the next few games so I'm not so frustrated.

It was Jill's B-Day on Saturday. A few kids kids went to a Japanese BBQ with her and wow was it good. they just brought the food to our table and we would grill it on the built in table-grill. That was also terrific fun. Since it was kind of a B-Day party I got her some pink wrapping paper as a gift. It was the most perfect thing imaginable for her. I'm serious, absolutely perfect! But I did feel a bit weird giving only wrapping paper, and since I was at Borders I just picked up some random book to but inside the Wrapping paper. It was all good cause she really liked the wrapping paper I got her.

On Sunday we hung out at Greenfield. I made spaghetti, KA made Souffle. Oh it was sooo goooood. Then some of us hung Christmas lights inside, and then gossiped some more. There's a lot happening in the neighborhood lately, and since I'm the most sought after 'Trafficker of Information' in the region, I had a lot of calls.

Then at night, instead of going to bed like I wanted to I was up until 3am on the phone with Josh, working on our Ward T-Shirt design so Josh could submit it to be printed on Monday. It drove me slightly up the wall about 2:45am. It took a lot of effort to suppress the old Jim.

I'm listening to Bruce Springsteen right now.
