...weekend recap & some pointless info about ME...

Well, this weekend was good. I got my Rocky Anthology in the mail, and it is now sitting proudly on the over-crowded movie shelf. Friday, Heather and I just chilled around the apartment, spending time together and watching movies and eating pizza. Saturday we cleaned, went to lunch with her family, and visited with friends at Kreiger's and then chilled back at our place. Sunday was much like Friday; Heather and I played card games and connect four. I've got to say, I never thought doing nothing could be so much fun with one person. Love you, hunny!

This past Thursday was Corey's birthday celebration up at O'Leary's. I had a good time, even though I was up WAY past my usual bedtime. Fran was there with her guy, who remembered me from Mr. Evan's class at Oakville. He also remembers Jay. He didn't have a high opinion of Jay then, and still doesn't. He didn't seem to ever have a "bad" opinion of me, though, which is good.

Beaver is tired of being a 'scapegoat' for his paintball team, Total Greif. I sympathize. Hopefully now, Beaver can learn from this and think twice the next time I'm being made the 'scapegoat' of OUR circle. At least, I hope.

Joe B. and Angel are moving in together. I know, I know - I was skeptical at first, too, when he first told me about it. However, he and Angel have come to an agreement about possible things that might happen, and have planned accordingly. Plus, this benefits Joe financially as well. So, good luck you two. Don't let anyone talk you out of it (that's directed at Scuba more than anything else).

Joe D. will be home from war a week from today. I wish him safe travel and arrival to his family.

A few posts ago, I wished Erich congratulations on his pending marriage. Some people thought I was being sarcastic with that. I was not. No matter what has transpired between us, the fact is, he's happy and she's happy, and that's something that should be congratulated regardless. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Hizzy's band, Scarlet Whore, is on the rise again. They just need a vocalist. If you know anyone, contact her.

Speaking of Hizzy, her dad is going to be just fine. He's not going anywhere, and that's a relief.

Just a reminder: Some crazy Republican, Rep. Bill Thomas, in congress is suggesting that since the life expectancy of blacks and hispanics is shorter than whites, we should base Social Security benefits off of race and gender. Scary thing is, this idea is ACTUALLY being considered in the now-largely Republican legislature. Do you have any problems at all with this idea (and if not, you really should; it's a violation of civil rights)? If so, you can add your voice against it here:

Stop Republicans from Tying Social Security Benefits to Race and Gender

Quote of the Blog: "I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future." - John F. Kennedy
