Don’t say another word you’re gonna ruin everything
I’m just choosin every dream that I’ve had with my flavor
Another week gone by and this one was actually more fun then not, for the most part. There were, of course, some downs but hey, it coulda been worse. So lets take that shit from the top and spin it down slow for you now.
Last week I did indeed end up going out and having a few beers. Best bar in the world is the one that has you served before you even sit down. Made some smart choices that night and they paid some dividends which I am happy about. Sunday I started working through Mass Effect and am fucking loving it. Seriously, I have owned the game since sometime in August, why did it take me so long to start? Which reminds me that I need to renew my Live membership sometime… next month I think. Anyway, after dinner I finally watched “There Will Be Blood.” Long movie but good. I see why it won best picture and best actor.
Tuesday was the dentist, another 6 months with no cavities. In fact, my teeth are in better shape then they have been for years. Now my dentist is trying to get me to bleach them and, if I continue to slow down my coffee consumption, I might do it. On the other hand I am also sure that there are better uses for my money. Wednesday I took some time off from work to go for a motorcycle ride. Good use of my time and money. Quite a bit of fun.
Fast forward a few days since nothing terribly exciting happened for the most part. Friday night I went out with a buddy and found a fantastic new (to me) liquor store. Cheap scotch, whiskey and other good things. As they say: “Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker” then out to a bar before swinging by his place. Unfortunately he was driving the entire time and I didn’t feel like crashing on his couch after he got a bit tipsy so I walked home a little after midnight. Got home around 1 after a very pleasant walk.
Saturday I hopped on the bike and went for a nice leisurely cruise. About 200 miles with a rest stop here and there. The bike is in great running shape and I am continuing to ride her like I stole her. Nice after all the random problems I have had this year when I did get to ride it. After that it was dinner and then to Gasthof’s for Oktoberfest celebrations. 1.5 liters of beer and a mug later it turned into an excellent evening. Old friends, new friends, beer, and polka. Plus any bar where the smallest amount of beer you can get is a half liter is good in my book.
Today has been a fairly quiet day with a bit of running round to the oldest indoor mall in the US, target, hallmark, gamestop that sort of thing. Kept my purchases fairly light which is nice. Didn’t end up getting any new games as what they had wasn’t worth the price. Now its quiet time before bed I think although I do have a friend who wants to get together today.
Got a new addition to my “to buy” list which is a lovely ipod touch. Thinking the 16 gb right now but who knows. Its got to wait a while before I actually can buy and by then I might just be too busy to get it until next year. Plus I might change my mind and go 32gb, who knows at this point.
Work is work, heating up some but not enough to feel the crunch badly yet. It continues to pay my bills and I continue to show up for it so we have an understanding right now. Still looking but with the economy as such… its difficult to find something better then waiting tables or working at a gas station. Hopefully after the election the economy does something but I am not really expecting it to be that soon. Really I think I am just hoping the damn election will be over sooner rather then later.
I think that’s about all that I feel like writing for the moment so here is this week’s music video for you all. See if I can get some culture in you kids. And maybe next week i will share more then just the highlights of my week.
