Since I worked last night, I didn't get to bed until about 0400.  My phone went off at about 0915; it was Mathew's sister.  She told me that he died peacefully at around 0300.  It was the phone call that I knew was coming.  Even though I hadn't been asleep very long, I was suddenly wide awake.  While I was still on the phone with her, I started ( Read more... )

My anticlimactic birthday

or,

That's not my policy

Crystal made me a huge quantity of spaghetti with chicken breast last night.  I felt badly because her birthday was Monday, and I didn't do anything for her.  I did drop off a thank you card for her today to tell her how appreciative I was.

Next, I watched American Idol with Mathew, as usual.  ( Read more... )

Contrived a plan

or,

He's just readily available

As usual on Tuesday, I went to The Resort to watch tv with Mathew.  It's so easy to hang out with him, after all.  He has no job, no schoolwork, no obligations, and his other friends don't want to hang around him...he's just readily available.

Thursday, I stopped in to see ( Read more... )

Kevin’s black cruise

Day 1

Jeffrey went with me to the airport so that he could drive my car back.  It was a mess.  Some form of horrible sleet had coated everything, the winds were high, and it was raining.  Just a great reminder of what I was about to get away from.

My flight was delayed by an hour.  Then, we sat on the plane for about ( Read more... )

A pizza

or,

He was going to die

Since it snowed like a bastard, I decided to see how my cats liked the snow.  I took out Adeeb first.  He wasn't too pleased about it.  Then, I brought out Ameer, and he acted like he was going to die.

Holy shit

or,

Logistically, it would be a nightmare

So Mario had emailed me and asked me to help him with a paper.  Funny, he never calls me or emails me ordinarily, but he suddenly is a good friend of mine when he wants something.  The world keeps on turning.  I went to Comet yesterday and advised him about his paper, rather than work on my own.

A fit of sneezing

or,

Conversating wildly

Mohamad came over yesterday so that we could do our speech science homework.  He came in, petted the cats, and shortly thereafter had a incredibly red eye and a fit of sneezing.  I asked how long it has been since he's been around cats, and he said it's been a long time.  Well, congratulations, you're ( Read more... )
