Hmmm, Tara seems obsessed with Brad Pitt naked. She always said she doesn’t go for those muscular guys, but then again, she is female. Heh. Argh, it’s been since Sunday I’ve been able to update. Things are going much better, though. After having to buy new nuts AND new bolts, I finally kept my desk from wobbling. Yay me, and who said I could use hardware? Now if I could figure out why MusicMatch refuses to play CDs, I’d be in business. Anyway, let’s make this quick. And you’ll see why I ‘m still not completely unpacked. I get an apartment and suddenly I’m the busiest man in the world.
So, Monday, was poker, at Amber’s. She actually catered it, something a guy would never do. I think I lost a dollar. Tuesday, man I have no clue what I did Tuesday. (Did I ever mention I was forced to work two Sunday’s ago? That sucked.) Wednesday I went to Brian’s to watch the Timberwolves beat Sacramento and make it to the Western Conference Finals. Amazing. Thursday I was planning on cleaning up my apartment finally, but then my boss ends up with two extra tickets to a Twins game and gives them to me. So instead, I take my sister to a Twins game. We got 20 ‘Dome Dollars’ too, which was cool. Friday we went out for Kristy’s, Austin’s girlfriend, 21st birthday. Not as exciting as Mike’s bachelor party, where I shimmied up to three girls and danced, scared women walking down the street with a bum, and got a girl’s number. For Kristy’s birthday, we just sat around at a bar, nothing big. Saturday I went to a Twin’s game with all my siblings, we won! Sunday I went home to do the laundry, and then watched the Wolve’s beat the Lakers and even up the series, awesome. Today I actually cleaned up, a little. I got to get focused now, because Tara’s coming this weekend and she’ll probably want to see my apartment.
I did call that girl I met at Mike’s bachelor party. Some dude answered and I panicked and hung up. It was supposed to be her cell phone. I don’t think hanging up was the best course of action, but whatever. I have to remind myself to talk about my hatred of dreams. But no today, I’m too lazy.
Thought of the Day: I’ve been spending the past 3 days creating mix CD of orchestrated and non-lyrical music. Most of it’s from video games and anime, with some movies mixed in. But when I put together some cool music for mix CDs, I always have to organize it so it flows well. Well, that’s what I spent most my days doing. After a while, I started developing a story about a hero and a heroine and a villain that tries to destroy them. Pretty geeky I know. But in the end, the way I set it up, the whole thing ends in tragedy, the villain is slain, but so are both the hero and heroine. I’ve been working so hard to put the exact right music at the exact right time, it’s ridiculous. I’d switch two songs around for like 3 times and then go look for a new song. But now I think it’s perfect. Or as perfect as I could make something. Yet, since I have this very specific story in my head, if I listen to the CD, I get a little sad. I mean, even the happier songs are bitter sweet, because I know how it all ends. I’ve created something that moves me, kinda pathetic, huh?
