Day 79 - My friend and her fiancé -- Brooke and Chris respectively -- threw a late St. Paddy's day party. I completely forgot to take my own pictures, but at some point Chris and his friend -- Kate -- asked me to take a picture for them.
I used my iPhone for the picture and emailed it to Kate; it's the only photograph I took from the entire night. But take it from me, it's probably for the best...
Day 78 - We picked up Duran from the airport in the morning, and then spent the day doing some shopping. Our main stop was Grapevine Mills, but after a couple of laps we needed a break.
Derek ended up with a PS3, and I bought a few new shirts from PacSun out of the sale area. It was a damn good day.
Day 77 - Derek got a new P.C. in the mail today. He had ordered it a few weeks back. He looked like a kid on Christmas morning opening it up, and then we broke it in with a good, old-fashioned raid.
Nerd day.
Day 76 - Sometimes, when stress hits, the only solace I can find is in family and music. I did just that today -- played for hours and waited for my father to visit me.
Day 75 - I was "summoned" to Lucky Lou's by my friends Ashleigh and Kyle to shoot some pool. I don't get to see them often (since January in this case) so I joined them. I beat Kyle once on a fluke, but aside from that he usually runs the tables over me.After that: a little chaos.
Day 74 - A long day of working on websites, working out, and busy work (read: census papers). Since I don't want to post a screenshot of my work, and I won't take my phone jogging with me, the best I could do was get a shot of my post-workout electrolyte intake...or something like that. Tomorrow will likely be just as boring, but I'll find something more exciting for the picture.
Day 73 - Jessica wanted to take Daisy to the dog park today, so Sarah and I joined her. I even let Daisy play around in my new car! We picked up some beverages, and the girls picked up snacks, and we headed out.
We watched the dogs play around for a couple of hours, and we even came across a beautiful black lab that looks just like my dog back home -- Ditch. I nicknamed him "Mitch" to make myself feel less sad.
Now I'm ending my day watching Season 3 of How I Met Your Mother with Sarah. It turned out to be a good weekend afterall.
Day 72 - It was a pretty boring Saturday, so Sarah and I decided to finally go see Alice in Wonderland. I loved it! It stay much truer to Lewis Carroll than the original cartoon. Plus, there's a Jabberwocky!
Day 71 - That gift I was talking about -- a 2009 Dodge Caliber! I took some time to think about it, and I decided to name her "Sorairo-hime," or 'Sora' for short. It means "Azure Princess" in Japanese, and the nickname means "Sky."
She's standard transmission, gets 30 MPG, is spacious as hell, and (my favorite part) has an "AUX" hookup that I can use a direct line for my iPhone.
Sarah rode around with me while I took Sora out for a celebratory joyride, and then I picked up a new hat and some shades to sport in my new vehicle. Sure, I miss Beni-hime -- my old 2003 Neon that now belongs to Derek -- but I adore my new car. I'm thinking roadtrip soon. Ideas?
Day 70 - Technically, my younger brothers' Spring Break started tonight. They were both thrilled, but I -- being a bitter, out-of-work, college graduate -- was not all too empathetic. To me, this meant I might have to take a week off to chauffeur them home to visit family and relax. Thankfully, my parents assured me that this would not be the case.
My dad drove down from D.C. to come spend some Spring Break time with his sons, and to help take the boys home. He also brought me a new toy as a "Happy Graduation" and "Happy birthday" present combined. But, we'll talk more about that later. For now, it's just good to hug my pops. Hope I get to hug my mom soon too...
