Well, it's 3:00 and I've already been to Dennison, Ohio, and back for the day. I had to drop Jimmy and his friends Alix and Charlie off at Dennison University for a lacrosse camp. Exciting. My mom did the drive there, so I slept basically, while listening to a few Delerium, Hooverphonic, and Massive Attack hits, and I drove the way back, starting off with a little U2 - Joshua Tree and then just classic rock stations all the way back. The rain made the trip pretty crazy, I was driving for a good half hour in rain so hard you couldn't really see more than twenty feet ahead of you. It was crazy, but I kick ass :-P. My mom tails like a mo-fo, so bad that in bumper to bumper traffic she'll accellerate to move up a few feet and break to stop. I thought it was funny when twice she told me to get off someone's ass. But enough about that.
Anyway, tomorrow I go to work as usual, but I'm leaving the office between twelve and two so we can leave for new jersey between two and four respectively. I'm going to be there all week, hopefully without internet access, for a little family summer vacation deal. Lots of sun, some golf, a little tennis, book reading, beach, etc. My Dad's been doing some sort of project with Lenox (brown forman owns lenox) and he's been having to spend a lot of time in Jersey, and so we decided to go up there as a family so he could work during the day and then come home, only home is our condo we're staying in or whatever it is.
So yeah, I'll be gone for a while. What else. My week has been good, I have started running almost every day again. And lifting weights. I'm going to head out and do that here shortly. I just feel ten times better all the time when I run every day. It's a good feeling to get your energy moving.
I bought some new DVD's. Empire Records, but I might have already said that some posts back ... and then Move Gallery was doing a buy 2 used dvd's get 2 free, and normally it's only buy 2 get 1, so I jumped on that shiat. Actually, I was going to just do the buy 2 get 1 deal, but when I got the checkout they told me it was buy 2 get 2 for a short time. So I had The Ring, Road to Perdition, and One Hour Photo, and I added Catch Me If You Can when I found out about the deal. So it was 28 bucks plus tax for 4 movies. Not bad. That's seven dollars a movie, AND when i got them home and opened them, only two had light scratches on them, and by light I mean LIGHT. Some of my current movies are in worse condition. So I was HAPPY.
And then ... hmm ... work is going well, that boss of mine might contract me outside the office to help a friend of his out with an online shopping cart deal. I really want this gig, cause I promised them a 5000 dollar website for 1500, which is about right (cause I'm not corporate web designer, so 1500 is a good site) and I've wanted to build a shopping cart for SO LONG but never had a client that wanted one. Hopefully they don't find a better offer.
And then, let's see. I think this essay for northwestern might be due tomorrow for a hiking thing that is the week before orientation/classes, but I haven't started. Plus i'm not even sure if tomorrow even is the due date. I need to figure this out. I will soon.
Other than that, I think that's it. I need a good multiplayer gamecube game. Any suggestions?
Spork.
I've tried to exercise, but it seems that anything and everything always pops up to break any schedule you make. I need to lose some weight before I leave for college on the 16th of August. My dorm is on the fourth floor, no elevators, and i have to go up about 50 steps the side of a hill to get to any classes from my dorm. So I'll be sweating like a pig whenever I get to class, and all the classes are only about 100 yards apart, at the most. Small campus, big hill. Good ole' Cincinatti, the city on a hill. I'll probably drop from 290 to about 250 in one year of going up and down that hill multiple times a day.
it'll be good for you, though, so that's good
yeah, I'm pseudo doing this for college ... pseudo doing this for me
just got back from running/lifting actually
this is a stupid poll I just realized ... oh well, it's only for ten days ....
yo, bigg dawg-- you're going to be in cincy? i'll be at xavier... do you know anyone else who will be in cincy?
not off of the top of my head, no. How far away is xavier from Cincinatti Bible?
hah, NO idea. i know xavier is about 4 miles from downtown going north on 71. i don't know where cincinnati bible is, though.
i don't know why that last one didn't post as me... i'm a slight moron.
well we all knew that
When you first arrive in Cincy from 71 (or is it 75? I get that confused, as I have only really driven there a few times), if you look up at the hills, you'll see a few large buildings. One of them sports a large cross on the side of it (that's the boys dorm, yes, singular, only one dorm for guys. It's a very small college), you'll also notice, some construction near it (new chapel/office building). That's Cincy Bible, which offers, for the guys, a really good veiw of the river and downtown Cincy and Newport.
it's 75 ... I know it's confusing ...
my aunt's neighborhood is the exit before or after cincinnati bible school on the highway
