Morning Discussion

Ah, the dawning of another new week. I wonder what surprises this one will bring?

At the very least, this week will pack one significant challenge, in that I must figure out what to do with my free time after finishing up all five seasons of The Wire. After four months, I'm almost done, only a scant few episodes left. Then ...I just don't know.

Of course, I've got a huge stack of unplayed or neglected games. Maybe that will help.

      awesome until last night, where I woke up with excruciating abdominal pain, went to the hospital, and discovered i have massively high sodium levels, which apparently could mean I have brain lesions so I'm getting an MRI. pretty weet.

      on the plus side, they have the internets in my room and the pain has subsided. :)

      It was good, the fiancee and I met up at my parents' house (long distance from each other right now) for Easter. 4 hour drive for her and 2 hour drive for me, we got to go out to the karaoke bar Friday with some friends and my brother. Sang First of May while drunk. Good times.

        Next time your in Ft. Collins don't forget about the Ft. Collins Brewery. I like NB and O'dells better, but for the 2-3 bucks they give you a lot of beer. And its just further east from O'dells in the Airport.

        High five studly brother! I had intimate relations with 3 different women this weekend (not at the same time unfortunately, although I did give that a shot). Also my team won pub trivia last night.

        Now I am realizing how much shit I failed to get done and regretting it somewhat...

      Kickass. Saturday we did some house cleaning and whatnot, watched Marley & Me (bawwwwwwwwww) and also Black Sheep (the zombie sheep one, not the Chris Farley one - although we watched the Chris Farley one on Sunday) and then on Sunday - Mama Phil brought over a spiral sliced ham for lunch. Mrs. Phil cooked some awesome green beans that were flavored with a touch of brown sugar and bacon. Plus crescent rolls. You can't go wrong with crescent rolls. Then I sat and watched the final 8 holes of the Masters golf tournament. One of the 3 playoff guys (Chad Campbell) is from around here (Andrews TX) so I was pulling for the local boy but he fucked it up and some Argentian dude named Angel won. But you don't pronounce it like Angel, he pronounces is ANG (like Ang Lee) HELL. Kinda like Ank Hell. What the fuck. And he didn't even speak English. Fuck that guy. But it was great. Golf is boring as fuck but on that wicked 60 inch Sony HDTV, it makes me spooge in my pants.

        My 7th grade boyfriend lived in Andrews. He put his hat on my head and then told me that everything under a cowboy's hat belongs to the cowboy. Haha, that still makes me laugh.

        That was also the weekend I got drunk for the first time on beer.
