I went to Medieval Times to celebrate my friend Kaylei's birthday. It was my first time being there, and it hadn't quite occurred to me that it was more of a kids' place. The food was good, and the company was nice, but the show was kind of bland.
I thought most of the knights were kind of small, but I did think the king did a great job. He was one of the most believable characters in the entire thing.

Entry 113
My renewed driver's license finally came in. It had been mailed to my family's house by mistake, so I had to have them mail it to me.
As for covering it with my thumb, see Entry 104 about not putting pertinent personal information in a public forum such as this. I just covered the majority of the crucial numbers, but you get the idea of what it looks like.

Went out with a bunch of my fellow UNT Computer Science graduate friends to catch up on the past four months. It seems I'm the only one struggling. I say this, because some of them have jobs they absolutely hate and told me explicitly never to apply for, a couple of them are in grad school or about to go back because the job market sucks, and one of them...well, actually he has a great job and is getting married soon. Congrats, Trey!
Anyway, we went to the new El Fenix in Denton, and talked it over. They were very reassuring that they think I'd be a damn good web designer, and that any firm would be idiotic not to hire me. Then again, they're biased because I helped some of them pass our web design class by knowing how to wireframe and draw up professional documents.
On a side note, the fajitas were pretty good.

It seems as quickly as he got back, Duran came down with something. We didn't have any medicine in the apartment, so I went on a 4:00 a.m. run to Walmart to get him some basics (which may or may not have turned into me getting breakfast).
Poor kid couldn't fall asleep, so I stayed up with him to make sure he was ok. I think it's safe to say he'll be missing a lot of class this week.

My license plates for my new car came in today! I took some time to put them on, and wanted to take a picture. However, the careful person in me decided it would be pointless to take the picture and then blur out the actual plates. So instead, I took this shot after the work was done.
The plastic plate frames had to be removed because they're technically illegal in Texas.

I often find it amusing that my brothers and I have similar mannerisms; we stand alike, make the same gestures with our hands, and tend to participate in similar activities. Duran and Derek were having a conversation before we started working out, and I think these pictures capture my point quite well...

Slacking off and the flood of posts to come
That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. I have been neglecting the blog for a bit, but I have been taking my pictures. Today I plan to catch up.
My apologies if the one, two, three...like 13 posts are a bit much!

Laundry day! One of the machines ate my quarters. I went to the corner-store to exchange the loose change I had in my car. Also, some cute girl in our complex was puppy-sitting and the puppy adorably attacked me while I was carrying my laundry...too bad I don't have a pair enough to strike up a conversation while in my laundry clothes.
Oh well, at least my regular clothes are clean.

Big interview today with {algo+rhythm} again in Fort Worth. I love their office, especially since it's in this amazing building in the center of downtown called "The Tower." I hear back in two weeks as to whether or not I will get the position...another two-week waiting period makes me nervous.

Playing catch up on the blog. Tuesday, I got a good shot of my brothers after our workout. We were all tired, but once they realized I was going to take a picture, they decided to pose. Since we can't workout in our apartment, we go to a little, grassy lot by the front office of our apartment complex, and use my laptop on a chair to run the DVD. Not a bad setup.

Along with a long day of work on my websites and shuffling through emails and phone calls left over from Spring Hiatus last week, today my brothers and I started the "Insanity" workout. We had our fitness exam, and I was BEAT afterward. The look on my face is most definitely not scripted (even though the picture is) as I really was that tired. In 59 more days, I hope to be fit as an Italian Stallion!

My friends Ashleigh and Kyle invited me to hang out at Lou's. I love spending time with them, because they are extremely goofy, we have a lot of overlapping interests to talk about, and they give me hope for finding someone perfect for me...eventually.
The funny things is, I found out that they met for the first time in a bar. We had a good laugh, because it just doesn't happen these days. They have been together for about 13 months now.

Entry 91 - APRIL FOOLS DAY
My family is a huge advocate of using April Fools for humor. Over the years, we have created some small and some elaborate jokes to play on each other, our friends, and sometimes total strangers. This year, I used my skills in Photoshop to render an image of my new car with a vulgar keying in the hood.
The joke count by the end of the day was well over 30 people. I had some help from close friends to make it seem legitimate, and then came clean later that night.
Jessica and I also went to a local battle of the bands to decide the opening band for EdgeFest 2010 -- an annual show hosted by 102.1 The Edge. The winner was a band called Ishi, and they were phenomenal. All-in-all, a great way to start Epic April!
