Ok, so here’s the plan for this weekend. Today I’m going to drive out to Champaign after work, and I might see Lexi tonight or early tomorrow morning. Saturday afternoon I’m taking Alan back to suburbia and we’ll prolly try to have a nice dinner and then go to the Chicago Wolves game (huzzah to… Continue reading Go Wolvsies

     So it has been a while since I posted. Let me do a very brief recap.      Bowling: Good. Last time we got tipsy and I bowled a 175. Huzzah to new highest score I can remember.     Alan: Good. I like him, and I appreciate him more, but he just bought World of Warcraft. I am worried.     My… Continue reading The Weekend, The Car, and Bowling

     Ok, so it wasn’t really a bowling bonanza. Apparently they started closing at 11pm for “summer hours.” You’d think that means close later, but nope. So, we only got two real games in, and I totally sucked. Then, Jake, Tony & I had one more game left (Mike came late so he only bought 2),… Continue reading Bowling Bonanza

     We picked up my Eclipse from the dealer today, after having them (with resistence) replace the Catalytic Converter for free (required by law for 8 years). I drove it home from the dealer, and it was amazing. Pretty much like it was new. Dad thinks that we still need to replace the plugs for the… Continue reading Car Pay Diem

     Happy birthday, Alan! (tomorrow)     So, I’m going to Champaign on Saturday, leaving at 3pm so Alan can get some sleep/work done/pretend work done. I’ll get there for dinner, and we’ll probably go to Miko’s or wherever he feels like going, being the birthday boy and all. Then we might do some light apartment partying. Sunday I’m… Continue reading Champaign Visit v202

     Yesterday, Renee, Michelle, Chris and I went to the Sox/Detroit game. It went into overtime… and it started at 7pm. So we were there late. Not that I remember much; I don’t like baseball and so I did what everyone who doesn’t like baseball and goes to the game does. Drank $15.75 worth of beer… Continue reading Carpoo

     My car is very very sad. Ok, I’m very sad, and I’m projecting the emotion onto my car, which is sick. The car, not my emotion-projection. Anyway, a year and a half of terrible misfiring whenever I accelerate from a stop, the Mitsubishi dealer finally figured out what was wrong with my car. Or at… Continue reading Total Eclipse of the Car

     I had a very nice weekend. Alan’s parents bought us Biaggi’s for lunch and we all ate my cheesecake. Alan took me shopping, but I wasn’t able to pick anything out for myself for our anniversary. Then we went to Lexi’s play on Sunday and it was pretty good. It was very amusing to see… Continue reading Weekend in Review

     Happy 3-Year Anniversary to me and Alan. As my boss so astutely said, “So it’s getting pretty serious, then?” I’m making cheesecake so I have to make this quick.Friday: Visit Renee at work (Lonestar), drive to Champaign ~7:30, arrive ~10.Saturday: Alan’s parents in town for lunch (Biaggi’s?), grocery shopping, nice dinner (that asian food place… Continue reading Champaign Visit v201

     So, the long-awaited question, “what does the wall look like without that terrible wallpaper?” has been answered.      We painted “Crisp Linen” on the walls and “Alumina” on the ceiling and trim. We still have a little bit of touch up to do, we’re rearranging the living room, and replacing the light fixtures, window treatments, doors… Continue reading Post-Wallpaper 1
