Entry 114

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.

Entry 112

The rainy weather was at it again, so we worked out inside again. It was a double-workout day (about an hour and a half of Insanity) so I got quite exhausted. Afterward, I just laid there for fifteen minutes, staring at the still ceiling fan...

Entry 111

Bipolar Texas weather decided we should have a bright, sunny, warm spring day. So I went with a friend of mine to the dog park. It was quite relaxing.

Entry 110

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.

Entry 109

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.

Entry 108

Back to the airport to pick up Duran. This time I had help from Derek, but it was ill-spent since several flights came in at the same time. It took us about an hour to get in and out of Love Field...

Entry 107


The rain continued heavily, so -- since it was just Derek and I this time -- we decided to bring our workout indoors. I think it turned out nicely, though it was quite intimidating having Shaun T looking directly at you throughout the workout; much different than a lawn chair and a laptop.

Entry 106

April showers, I suppose.

Entry 105

Taking Duran to the airport today, because he has a dentist appointment back home this weekend.

Incidentally, you gotta love that DFW rush-hour traffic. Just saying.
