062708 - Back to X

so I've been back to Xavier for a week now. It seems like I've been here longer than that. I don't know, I can't sit still. Everything just seems really boring to me.

Work has consumed my life.

I finally got to see Sex and the City, the movie. I don't know if it was worth the $9.00 I paid to see it in theaters, but there are scenes, particularly the one with the outdoor shower and that really hot neighbor man... definitely worth it. mmm.

I want some sweet plans for this weekend, but nothing's presented anything.

061808 - officially driving home

so driving home on friday.
that's right.
driving home. haha. yes, sir.

that's really it.
other than that, I've got nothing.

oh, I added two applications on Facebook: Books iRead, and Flixster Movies.
definitely a time consumer .. exactly what I need right now.

road trip on the 27th.
I get to choose between three lovely places 1) Shelby, OH, 2) Elizabethtown, KY and 3) Asheville, NC.

Each destination is associated with a friend(s)

1) Kevin
2) Kristin, Jenny, Michelle
3) Jill, John

I've already kind of chosen a destination.

So I'm really into "Freckles." Song was originally done by Natasha Bedingfield, but I am obsessed with Jordan Pruitt's cover. In other news, Kathy Griffin is hilarious and definitely not a D-list celebrity. I haven't heard of a person who hasn't heard of Kathy Griffin.

Also, I really hope my parents let me bring my car back to Cincinnati. oh please oh please.

060908 - Housewarming

I've been to Elizabethtown.

the family and I had a housewarming party on Saturday.
We cooked family dinner before the event and the food was good, the company was better.
I love the family.

Lots of random people in my house = good time, given certain circumstances.
also, Jill went to bed at 11:00.
haha, yeah, she's THAT girl.

so I leave tomorrow for my brother's high school graduation. I was supposed to leave yesterday, but obviously that did not happen. Instead, Kevin, Jill, Kristin and I went to Phillips Swim Club, where Kristin works, to just hang out by the pool. The sun was out, it was perfect.

We wanted to take pictures by the pool, so we asked a random guy to take the picture for us. He kept saying that he couldn't see us. The screen is 3.0 inches x 2.5 inches .. it's a big ass screen for a digital camera. We ended up with an awesome picture of his wedding ring.

old man: "I hope it took it."
us: "oh yeah! it looks good!"

so work now.

060208 - Put your lunch hours on your time card

Uncle Ron: "...I'm bringing my a game." What does that mean?
Me: You mean A-game?
Uncle Ron: oh! ... wait, what is A-game?
Me: It means he's gonna come and kick your ass.

So Kevin and I went up to Columbus this past weekend to visit his uncle and be a part of some golf tournament. We walked to the field for like a second, and then we both got bored and walked back.

Work again. The other day, I moved most of my stuff from Kristin's garage to my house on Cleneay. I'm excited.
