VACATION.
last week was a great break. i'm already upset and stressed about stupid little things at work again, but i didn't think about work at all last week. i went hiking saturday, monday, tuesday, and wednesday. recorded horn parts for a NFF song, and wednesday we shot a video for it. which was weird and i felt like a big dork, but it went better than a photoshoot cause at least i get to act like i'm playing instead of just staring at a camera.
thursday i left for chicago - within a half hour of landing, i was eating giordano's. oh giordano's how i love you. stayed at my parents' place that night, and their cat is insane. she screams and bites you one minute, then crawls on your lap and goes to sleep.
friday got dropped off at ross's and i hung out with him and jovia before the brewers/cubs game - stopped at a gamestop and deciding to get all the burger king games was one of the highlights of the weekend. sneak king is so damn good. i'm going to beat it. jovia's really cool too. i think i'd only met her like once before and she was really quiet/shy, which i probably translated as standoffish (since i can never understand people being shy towards me), but she's a super fun girl and i was glad to hang out with her this weekend too. and her bangs are cool.
drank 40s in the parking lot - i drank mine the fastest. OH. i got a hot pretzel at the brewers game. but they don't just salt them, they DIP THEM IN A VAT OF BUTTER FIRST. next year in milwaukee they'll probably do that with all their food - i'd like a brat, with onions - and they dip the brat into butter to get the onions to stick.
saturday was fun time with marcus - my leg still hurts from whirlyball. we started drinking at 1:00, stopped about 5:30, i went to my hotel, drank as much water as i could, and worked out vigorously for about a half hour, then showered, then they picked me up and we resumed drinking. met people at delilah's. dee didn't show up cause she's a homo. that's right, i said it.
this is too long. must hurry through sunday.
sunday saw the cubs lose to the brewers and it was the best loss ever - the cubs were making awesome stupid moves (like pinch hitting zambrano in the 3rd inning) and the brewers won, clinching the wildcard - which means i get to see the cubs in the playoffs in LA on saturday. i'm really happy i got tickets to the sunday brewers game instead of saturday, turned out perfect.
after the game, we went to joanie's house - it's really cute, i'm stupid jealous of her having a house and me not having a house, and i liked the various odd stuff in it (garbage can nook, laundry chute, bent ceiling in bedroom) and her anti-petting zoo impressed as always. i kinda want a hog nosed snake and a brazilian black spider. i probably pissed her off by saying i would be there in a couple minutes when i was already out front, but i thought it was pretty funny.
last nancy show of the year tonight, and then everything will be pretty boring...until 2 weeks from now when i go back to chicago for everybody getting married. p00t!
