hello good citizens!!! mmm so.....im good, working a lot lately, but its for my dad and i really like it. yesterday was my first day off in a while and it finally coincided with nice weather.i took my two youngest sibs to the beach and got mauled by pad thai hungry seagulls and high tide. it was a lot of fun. my six year old crazy redheaded sister also kept going into the water too deep, so i got my fair share of swimming. later on i guess i totally lost track of time and the tides cause suddenly i was half floating away in my beach chair and all our stuff was oceaned away. we managed to grab almost everything, but my sister lost a shoe and our packed lunches....the water felt so good and i was so absorbed in my book that i totally didnt notice anything.
afterwards i went out to dinner with the fam, and then to the big B-O-S with some friends to see "Garden State" at this massive movie theater on the commen. it wasnt as great as i had expected it to be, but i like it a lot nonetheless. the man sitting next to us had this terrilbe hooty snort laugh that made me laugh harder when things were funny, so i think that might have made me think the movie was better than it might have been...iiii dunno.
oh MAN, also, on thursday afternoon when i was workign this rididulously goofy manly man came in to my dad's office with his preppy wife, a huge grin, and a five inch bass hook stuck clear through his finger. it was soooo bloody and mangled, and i seriously don;t know how he was still smiling, but his first words to the gaping waiting room and staff were "hey, i caught the fish"::grin::. the billing woman turned white at the sight of all that blood and had to sit down. i really wanted to follow him in and see how they extracted it, but it was too busy for me to leave. anyway, his wife stayed in the waiting room while he got worked on, and told us how it had happened. apparently he was fishing off his peir with his seven year old son and his EIGHTY year old ONE LEGGED father in law, when they cauight this huge amazing fish of a lifetime. i guess they wrestled with it for a while, but then the rod broke, so he dove in after it and accosted the fish in person, beating it into submission and somehow mangling his hand in the meantime. he didnt want to go to the emergency room, so he just called us and then was behind the wheel starting the car when his wife yelled him out of the front seat and over to the office. it was great. after they had been in there for a while i snuck off and knocked on the door saying i was an intern to see if i could come in...he said ok, and i got to see my dad make the final touches on the stitches. my dad kept jokingly trying to get the guy to bring over some of the fish (O MAN STRIPED BASS IS SOO good) i guess they had to like cut a hole through his finger and pull it out backwards, and it just missed a tendon. i used to really hate blood, but ive been trying really hard this summer to overcome that. but anyway, yeah, later on that day this really comical older couple came in for marriage blood tests. they were sooo weirdly enamoured that i didnt know how to handle it,i felt like i was in a really lame trashy romance movie. but yeah, i really like working in the office. oh man, i dont know what kind of music you guys like like like, but i just discovered "hawsley workman" and im totally obsessed. theyre from toronto and wicked good..its like ben folds with better lyrics(!!!!!!). mm this is very long. i think i talk this much too though. so you know. if youre my friend. youre used to it. if youre not..::bared teeth::I HATE YOU. also, leila broke up with tony (@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and (!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!) five guys (NO JOKE) have called the house between yesetrcay and today to ask her out. siigh..us el-amine girls, we're too hottt for LIFE.
