Friday: April 03, 2009 - Rare Friday Update
It's rare there's a Friday update but this is an important one. Yesterday I signed up to take an art class on Monday nights. I've wanted to take one for a while since I'm clearly a gifted artist and I thought I'd meet more "normal" (as normal as you get in a class where you learn to draw triangles with faces) on a Monday night than a Saturday morning with soccer moms.
The reason for this entry is the problem this poses: The Cubs open their season at 7pm, the same time my class starts. This means I will not get to see the game as a live broadcast. What does this mean for you? TELL ME NOTHING. I don't care if Zambrano has a no-hitter going into the 9th or if he blows out his shoulder on the first pitch. Don't call, text, IM, ESP, nothing me until I give the word. The first Cubs game of the year is my second-favorite day of the year (after FSU's opening game) and ain't nobody going to spoil it for me.
In other news, I got my second marriage proposal of the year. Also in other news Marc, Annie, and I went to the "friendliest bar in town" (Mr. Smith's) last night and it wasn't really all that friendly. It did answer a major music theory question: Would the world implode if every note possible were sung at the same time? No, the world will not implode but thanks to the key change in Living on a Prayer we were able to at least find out. We also tried out Old Glory which was pretty lame. I'm too old for cover charges.

It's a shame we couldn't save those original Stick-O comics you drew... those were instant classics. If Stick-O, the high school dropout-turned-teacher were drawn today, he'd probably working at some Stick-Company with a Stick-PointyHairedBoss. - Evil Mike
Remember that part where you RickChompyRolled everyone and they hated it and you laughed about it the next day?
Mike, all I can say is stay away from the internet and turn off your cell phone, or else revenge will be had. - T-Chris
Ah, the "Livin' on a Prayer" key change...the greatest key change in pop music. And I totally agree with you about the cover charge thing. At what point did you recognize that fact? For me, I think it was after Vegas, where it cost me $15 just to GET IN each place. Ugh.
I'll try not to ruin the game for you. But I'm not making any promises... - SC
Hmm, difficult, but I will do my best. I'll be in class during the game though, so maybe I won't be the one ruining it for you.

03-11-2009: My house is going to be clean like you don't even know for the many Fests this month. I have about four laundry loads left and some dog-washing and vacuuming left to do but on the whole I'm in pretty good shape for Chris' arrival Friday evening.
I've got a good 12 of 12 in the works since I have a lot to do. I already missed my 10am meeting at Wachovia but whatever, it's my money and I call the shots. That's what you get for paying me like .000004% interest. I still need to pick up Abby from Jamie's before I do another load of laundry and then drive out to Reston.
PromotionCode.org is almost up to 100 fans on Facebook so if you're not already a fan, it would be nice of you to become one as a personal favor to me. It's rare that I mention anything work related so you should feel honored to be a part of today's entry.
There was big news on the FriendFront last night but I'm not sure if it has been disseminated fully enough for a mention. You know who you are, you just let me know.03-11-2008: Jamie flew back into town yesterday afternoon from Jacksonville and I made it to Reagan in about 15 minutes. With Brian's map I can now do no wrong. After I picked her up we caught a bus (gasp) to Tenleytown where we had lunch then got on the metro (gasp) so she could get fingerprinted for her internship and I could get my SMARTcard. The woman fingerprinting her kept trying to resend a fax and must have done it fifty times while we were there. Getting my SMARTcard was pretty easy although I was hoping it would somehow be smart enough to repel the stench of the homeless on the bus from infiltrating my nose but no, it's just not that smart.
After having dinner in Georgetown we came back to my house and built my dining room table and about 95% of the kitchen pantry. Because it was so late I didn't want to do any hammering or else that would have gotten done too. With those items complete I'm down to only needing to build my new dresser and a bookshelf. Once THAT'S done then I can finally finish up my office and empty out four of the remaining tubs. Awesome. 03-11-2007: Ah, Poker Night. The four of us trotted over to Renee and Ian's around 6:30 to settle in to some poker. Ian made some sort of delicious chicken and mashed potato dish (how can you lose with that combination?) and Chris volunteered some of now-famous pepperoni bread. Ian was the star of the show, ending his string of 2nd place finishes and ruining the nights of everyone else. We stuck around to see if Renee could make a comeback against her boy toy but it was not to be. After leaving our $5 in Ian's wallet we adjourned home. Once there Chris and I broke out some red wine and Jamie and Mike(r) met up with Carlos for a night of dancing. Since Chris and I are old we fell asleep early and the rest of the part returned around 3am-ish.
