delay/the battle continues...
two things. well my departure has been delayed a bit because the people i am supposed to meet down in ohio are having car problems coming in from chicago...man, i could have slept a little while longer, but there is no hope for that now. guess we may be missing the rehearsal dinner because o this, but there is no way i was going to just drive down through on my own (i won't leave you guys behind, cryder!)
secondly (other half of this entry's title) my sister has been putting up a decent effort keeping up with the journal entry/blog competition. it must be in the david genes, because of all the 'competitions' i have been involved with over the past several weeks (and there has been a variety) my sister seems to be the only one that is nearly as competitive or can come close to winning. ah well, its always been in good fun anyway. oh, and its also about winning. yeah, that sounds about right.
so i have a lot of catching up to do with various stories and events of the past week/weekend...instead of getting into major details with all that stuff (which i definitely don't have time for right now, and probably won't for a while) i am just going to list some comments and you can take from them what you will, depending on what you understand. if you don't understand any of them, well i suggest you go find something else to do until my next entry. comments:
-in the spirit of competition, there is one battle that i have seriously been losing...losing for years, but losing pretty badly as of recently. this is the battle with the alarm clock or my phone alarm. yeah, right now i am 0-2 with that. i seriously lose against the snooze button, what a horrible invention. so if i ever say 'don't worry, i'll set an alarm' i suggest one gets a backup or makes other plans.
-people who come over need to start accepting that the restaurant of choice for us is pancheros. simple as that. we can take certain criticisms, but only so much before you get kicked out. so come over, have a good time, grab a panchero's napkin and don't start up any mexican food debates. either you will lose or i won't give up my position. it's the best, deal with it...or even better, just have a burrito.
-the fish are cool...just ask all our delivery people...the tio's guy, chinese delivery person, fedex delivery guy, domino's delivery, they all love them; we even let some of them come inside the place to check out the other tanks. along with this, our fish DO NOT look like dolphins, rats, giraffes or ANY other mammals. i take it as a personal insult when these ridiculous comparisons are made. if you want mammals go buy a cat or a gerbil and stay home.
-i really hate the fact that every phone service but sprint requires you to listen to that stupid voicemail prompt lady. like nobody knows how to leave a message in this day and age. i hate the few seconds of life that i lose to that stupid voice every day. sprint is probably the worst carrier on the planet after t-mobile...yet they have the 'press 1' bypass which is extremely useful. too bad those with sprint get reception at about 30% of the locations the rest of us do.
- thank goodness some of those regular tv shows are starting up again...it was far too long without CSI, but Rescue Me was definitely a good fill-in. now its just a matter on seeing where Alias goes this season. at the same time, i am glad there are reruns of Seinfeld and The Simpsons, because there are no good new sitcoms on at all. the new family guy episodes are good though.
ok i think that is good enough for now. i'm going to go load up my car and take a nap...at this rate i could have just left tomorrow morning. as much of a crazy-long drive this will be, it will be nice to get away for a little bit. it's definitely been an INSANE past few weeks, so a brief hiatus before the coming busy week and Tank III will probably be good for me (and probably for everyone else too)! peace out <:><
ok as always, here are some random pics:
