Holy Handgrenades, Batman, an update.
Wow, I bet ya'll think I must have fallen off the face of the earth. Well, if any ex-girlfriends have found my journal and are reading it, sorry, I'm still here. School is still in effect, and its another fun math filled semester. Even though work is a major pain in my tail end, I still feel pretty lucky that they work with my school schedule. I still think its fun that an old boy like me iis actually in charge of as much as I am. Heck, I mentioned it to my girlfriend when we were down at A-kon about it, seeing as I'm the shipping manager for a nationwide company (we service New York, Seattle, Houston, and a whole lot of other places) and I'm walking around in a Gwar tshirt, old shorts and soocer sandals at an anime convention. Thank God I haven;t got all old and crotchety yet.
Back to the subject at hand, liefe is getting a little more relaxing now that softball is pretty much over. Both teams, men and mixed, are ending with losing records, but we have been showing a lot of improvement. Here's even a pic of us after our first mixed win:
I never knew I was such a big boy, I dwarf way too many of these people. On the other hand, in soccer we're still winless. We're not that bad, but we're not in shape for it, and with a low roster (7-8 people to a game, while we have six on the field at a time), leaves up with few subs, and honestly, none of us are in soccer shape. Our buddy Edd plays in the goal, and he tries, but its hard for a nearly 60 yr old to jump around like you need. Maybe sometime in the future well get that first win. For the time being, I'd just be happy if we had a game where the other team wouldn't score more than ten points on us. It's kind of embarassing. Who knows, maybe I'll take a turn in the box one of these nights.
On another subject, I cannot describe how much I love the movie Lost in Translation. I saw it when it came out, and I own the DVD, but anytime its on on cable, I get stuck watching it. Just a beautiful movie. Also, I have been messing around with my computer a bit, here and there with Photoshop and Illustrator, but in the last few days, I've given Garage Band another try. Even with my musically challenged self, its been a lot of fun just messing around, and I've been shortening some of the songs I have ripped on my computer. I enjoy some songs immensely, and I like he hidden tracks , too, but I don't like having the five to ten minute interval of dead air. Call me crazy.
That's about it, except for one thing: Ace, I checked my email Saturday morning and saw your PM notification. Sorry I didn;t catch it when I was online Thursday night. I'll catch up with you laters.
