14 JAN 2010

Well, well. It's been a few days!

WED was fun! We had a movie night at our house and watched the film "Moon". It was okay, but not great. Having company was nice. Baxter, Kim, Colin, Rochelle and Jessica all came over and we ate a ton of chips, salsa, guacamole, and popcorn. In fact, that was all that I had for dinner not counting the five beers so that may have contributed to my tired state on THU morning.

Let's discuss THU now! That was yesterday. It was a whirlwind of a day. Work went by quickly and when I got home, I only had a couple of hours before Carrie had to go to the airport for her trip to MPLS. We decided that she should take a cab just to be safe despite the fact that Kim offered to let us borrow her car, which would have resulted in a much long trip time. Even though we checked departure delays IMMEDIATELY before Carrie left and we were supposedly all clear, it turned out that she wouldn't make the ATL-MPLS leg of her flight due to a delay. She had the option of either staying overnight in ATL at a hotel or coming back on FRI morning for a departure time of 6AM. Needless to say, neither option was all that appealing. I borrowed Kim's car anyway and picked her up, a trip which reminded me how extremely stressful it is to drive in the city of Philadelphia.

I went to Penn draft and had a slightly irritating time. We had a six-man pod of M10-M10-Zendikar with a couple of good drafters and a couple of really bad drafters, resulting in four players running black and no one picking green cards until pack three. My only loss was to the guy who won the whole thing (and ended up playing green cards), so that was OK. Magic has just been really frustrating me lately. MAN!

One other note on THU: when I arrived home from work, I found an explosion of feathers and a severed sparrow head atop our welcome mat. Thanks, Santa! Carrie got a few funny pictures which I might post when she gets back. Before I had a chance to clean it up, I heard one of our landlord, Aaron's, kids crying loudly in the alleyway outside of our place and I think it's because he saw the pile of bird death. I had an extremely vivid dream this morning that Santa was killing and offering us increasingly large animals, including other cats and climaxing with a bum (human)!

Today is FRI and so far there is not a lot to report. The day kicked off with a really early wake-up call so that Carrie could get ready to catch her cab to the airport at 4:45AM. Work was SLOW and boring; the day was just draggin' and I didn't feel very animated at all. I was sent home early and now I am at home just relaxing. It's probably about time for a nap. One crummy thing: the new projector has yet to show up, which means it probably won't be here until next TUE since it's MLK day one MON. DANG! Carrie is going to be gone for the whole weekend so I am anticipating watching some movies, going to the Y, and cleaning. Oh! We are having Lady Gaga practice tomorrow to prepare for our show on 30 JAN, so that is cool, too! I am really excited to go to the farmer's market tomorrow and buy a bunch of veggies and cheese. BREAKFAST FEAST!

Well, it's time for that nap. Santa has been motionless and extremely quiet since I have been home and it's giving me some serious inspiration. My nap muse!
