Should I try to do some more?
25 or 6 to 4...what does that mean anyway? That's one of those no one will ever know the answer, but every drunk person at the bar always will.
Still haven't heard from anyone regarding a ride from Visiting Day in camp, and I think I know the reason...no one from camp reads this journal. I know people from camp used to read it, but I don't think any of them do any more. Well if anyone who reads this journal talks to anyone who I used to go to camp with, ask them about the possibility. Wait, never mind, just spoke to an Alster, and they are giving me a ride home, YAY! ::does that dance move where you make a circle in front of yourself with your fists and go "woo woo", it think it's called witches brew, maybe::. It's great, so far this summer I haven't had one slow weekend, which makes me feel awesome and like I actually have more of a place in my own life, then I ever have before.
Today I bought myself a little treat, which I felt I really needed. I bought myself a little iPod dock/speakers thing from inMotion (well I bought it at Bed bath and Beyond, inMotion manufactured the product). It's wonderful. Before this I was listening to Q1043.com, which is great, because it is my favorite radio station, but it had all those commercials and DJ breaks, and since it is internet radio it is ALWAYS the same advertisements and they, like most ads, are way louder then the music. So now I can listen to my giant amount of music at my desk all day at work, and I can gaurantee a variety with no commercial breaks, and a change every now and then. Obviously I love classic rock, but every now and then I like the change things up and listen to something else. Like right now, Fuel just came on (Bittersweet, off the album Sunburn to be exact), and I couldn't be more happy to be sitting here listening to it. I am a firm believer in the healing power of music. It really can have an almost "feung sheuey" to whatever environment you find yourself in, which is why I rarely go anywhere without my iPod, unless of course I am with someone else, then I might not have the iPod with me, just because conversation is tougher when you have little plastics nobules in your ears blasting tonal noise.
If you have not been reading new web comic panels from me, its because I have extended my break. Probably won't be back up for another week, at least. I have just been too busy, and the moments I have where I am not busy, I just want to relax. At work, whenever I have been picking up my electric pencil and pad, all that has been coming out are monkeys. I have started a series of monkeys. I am calling them EMOnkeys, because each monkey is showing a different emotion (not to be confused with the EMO trend of whiny teenagers). I have 5, with a 6th almost finished, and only 1.75 edited on the computer. The first one I did was called "Anger Monkey", just because that is what started to come out. I like to think I am not picking the emotions these monkeys posses, I am merely imposing them on paper.
Here is Anger Monkey:
People in my office like him, but they tell me they like some of the others much more. I think I am going to post them at C-M University while I continue to take time off, just so there is updates happening and people know I am still alive, even though I am pretty sure all of you who read the comic, read this as well (but apparently not the other way around). Anger is also the only simple emotional name I chose, only because he was the first, the rest have "intellectual" words representing the simplified emotion.
Not next thursday, but two weeks from today (July 27), my uncle/boss is having an office party at his awesome house of awesomeness in the Poconos. I get to miss work to go to this thing (and it doesn't even count against my vacation time, of course if I didn't go, I would have to be in the office "working"), and I am also allowed to bring someone(s), because the invite says "Spouses & Friends may attend". So who wants to be my date?
Not much else going on here. I got a new "toy", the kind of toy I haven't had in over 4 years. It's a cheap little piece of crap, but it does the job. I named it Dory, because it's got this cool blue color, and the pattern looks kind of like that of a clown fish; so I figured it fit. Amanda (former co-barista from Starbucks @ 67th and Columbus) picked it up for me before her and a couple of her friends came over to chill, which was awesome. we watched the Muppet movie, and I totally nerded out by singing along. What made me feel awesome was even before last night, I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to make it to the gym this morning, yet I still did. I freakin rule. Well actually it's because for the past couple of days, I have been up about 5 lbs. So not cool, but definitely the best way to motivate me to actually get to the gym and work out. It's been so common lately for me to just say "I'd rather not move for the next hour then get up and go to the gym", and I guess doing that enough is finally starting to show. So I am not going to let myself do that any more, unless I am sick, or just out of time, no more excuses.
What is it about taffy that makes everyone make a face like a chewing cow?
Ok, time to draw more monkeys.
