Ok, I am suffiecently recovered from the awesome that I feel I can write again.

Last weekend I took Friday off and Trevnor the Wrath and Mike came to visit. A night at the bars that they got here (which culminated at a gay bar since Trevor took up my offhand suggestion). Then back here for some much needed rest.

The next day was payday, which is always handy I have to admit. We went and saw Thank You for Smoking, which I liked a lot and found to be rather amusing (and possibly rather true concerning lobbyists. As I am not one I can not accurately judge). Mike and Trevor enjoyed it although Trevor liked it less then I did for sure. Then it was back to my place for some R&R before going to pick up Jess from work and go out to the C.C. Club. Twas fun, then the four of us journeyed back to my place to watch Kung Fu Hustle since Trevnor hadn’t seen it.

Saturday was the ultimate day of their vacation. We went and picked up Jess then it was off to the Art Museum again for something a little more, I dunno, cultural or something. I enjoyed it for sure. Then Trevor and Mike skipped town due to Fathers day and such.

My Fathers day was spent mostly with Pops, which was cool. Monday was spent with Brandis, Russ and C-Dub watching game 7 of the stanley cup. It was a good game but I wish Edm had won it. All well.

Fast Forward to Friday. I hung out with Russ, Beth and Brandis before Brandis left town. Good to see him again and now he has fled to Madison again. On Saturday I went out to the Hitchen Post an bought myself a motorcycle helmet. I also registered for the class. Steps 2 and 3 were completed which puts me soewhere between 3/5 or 1/2 of the way to the ultimate point of this (depends on your counting really). I also went out and bought a fire safe for some random papers and shit. While at Wal*Mart I also bought 2 movies. Poolhall Junkies and Last Man Standing. Christoper Walken for the motherfucking Win. Stayed up last night watching that and was still able to get up fairly early.

Today was cleaning (my apartment is currently scary clean) and in a bit over an hour I am supposed to go over to my parents house where my father and I are taking my Grandfather out to dinner. Its just us since my mom evidently fled to mexico 2 steps ahead of the law this week. At least its two steps. Hopefully she won’t return as a drug mule or anything.

Ok, I am ready for the pwn. But first, recap time since its been a bit.

After Robin’s wedding I spent a week at work then traversed over to eau claire for a night of general debauchery and fun. Then on saturday it was over to Wausau for my sister’s wedding. It brought my total number of siblings up to 2, one of which is an inlaw. I dig it though. During the reception I cut out early (prior to gift opening even) and drove down to Madison to hang with Trevor. It was a lot of fun and I had a bit too much to drink.

Back up to the cities for more work, then last thursday was spent drinking beer with Dj_Tripping on my porch. Friday was spent at the bars with DJ_Trippin and his friend jess, then over to Mickeys for late night greasey food. Saturday was the day we celebrated my grandfather’s 88th birthday (not that he even knows most of the time which is a fucking shame cause he used to be absolutely awesome. I remember his 77th for example. That wsa fun). So that entailed a large family get together of everybody on my mom’s side of the family who is blood related minus 1 aunt. Well close blood related. Then it was over to Brit’s Pub in minneapolis for Yiling’s going away party. That was generally fun but I cut out early just cause I wasn’t feeling that vibe to be honest.

This weekend, well Thursday actually, Trevor and Mike are coming up to my place for an extended weekend. That was all the incentive I needed to take a friday off work and prepare to have a fiesta with them. the only solid bit is that we are going to go to the Minneapolis Art Institute as it just reopened. Other then that, who knows other then that it will be awesome to hang with them again.

Other then that, there isn’t too much going on in my life of immediate importance at the moment, but that sort of thing happens from time to time and its nice. A bunch of pidly things that are going on, but nothing in the nature of “drive 1,000 miles to be at this wedding at htis time” or anything. I might get the jolly roger tattoo I have been thinking about for a year or so now, but who knows. Well I will get it but I might get it immediately rather then put it off more. I would rather get the eye of horus truth be told but I need somebody to take care of it for me since the location I want is unaccesible to me.

And now I am chillin here with a beer, Boulevard unfiltered wheat to be specefic, and just sorta relaxing. Its pleasent.

Ok, I am feeling significantly more energetic then I did yesterday or even earlier today so I can spout out a bit more of a post then that drivel below.

First, the retrospective parts. The weekend, 2 weekends ago, in eau claire and ‘nea’s birthday was great fun. I had an absolute blast. I do wonder what J is up to now that the custodial shit is probably done. Then last weekend was Kansas for Robin’s wedding. It was fun, with a lot of ups and downs both. Its gaurunteed to be an exciting marriage for him. I know that I couldn’t be in that relationship but hey, different strokes and all that jazz. You know what I am talking ’bout willis.

This coming weekend is over to EC for a night, then on to Wausau for my sisters wedding saturday. That should be a fairly good time. Especially since I don’t have to wear a tux in 102 degree weather. After hte wedding its down to Madison to visit Trevnor, the destroyer. Let me tell you that I am really looking forward to that. The weekend after that is a big family shindig to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday. Most of my Mom’s side of the family will be in town. Its going to be big and fun for parts. I am mostly looking forward to not traveling for a weekend. The weekend after that I am looking forward to even more since both Trevor and Mike said that it was fine to push their visit back for a week. Thats right, old home week up (sorta). And again, I don’t have to travel.

Got a lot done today, grocery shopping, rent, oil change, sisters wedding gift that sorta thing. Little (and not so little) lose ends that were floating about a bit. Evidently the oil leak is REALLY minor since my oil hadn’t dropped much (I got it done early, prevent and all that shit) even with the 1,000 miles I drove last weekend to Kansas and back. Still would rather pay a little to make sure I have oil then have to deal with a siezed engine.

And now I am sitting at home with a cold sierra nevada pale ale in my hand writing this. Things are pretty good right now.
