I haven't had much time to write lately. Especially at work, things have been a lot busier. Still, I feel the need to write. So I shall write a blog at home.
Some things that have happened in the past few days:
- Got a speeding ticket. Caught going 81 on 355. Haven't had a ticket in about 3 years, so I guess I was due. Cop looked like he was about 16 years old.
- Went to the DMV to get a State ID. I think they really designed that place to piss people off as much as possible. First, they give you a number and make you wait for this computerized voice to call your number and tell you where to go. Except, it's not just a number, it's actually a letter and a number. I was C248. Then they call the numbers in no particular order. It started at C244 when I sat down, followed by B196, I113, D49, A307, B197, B198, E73, B199, A308, B200, I114, D50, C245, ..... and about half an hour later, finally I got my turn. Then I got to talk to a guy, who then sent me to the cashier, who sent me to another lady, who sent me to the picture taking station. Overall though, I was expecting worse. Only one out of the 4 people I had to deal with was rude and/or incompetent. I'll take that. And it only cost 4 bucks to get a state ID, which isn't bad at all.
- Got White Castle for lunch. I love White Castle. By the way, for those who don't know, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle on July 30th. Featuring "the Asian guy from American Pie" and "the Indian guy from Van Wilder", I don't know whether this movie should offend me or appeal to me, as an Asian guy from Darien who loves White Castle. But another important thing to note is that it is being directed by the guy who directed Dude Where's My Car. So I think I am gonna have to see this movie.
- Watched U Got Served on DVD. Actually, only watched the dance scenes, which apparently are the only parts of the movie that are worth watching. Also watched Van Wilder and the first 20 mins of 2 Fast 2 Furious.
- Went to Dave & Busters and played some shuffleboard. Saw a friend I haven't seen in at least 2 years, and seriously, the first thing he said to me after "Long time no see" was "but it's ok, because I read your blog all the time and that makes me feel like I've been a part of your life". See, it's moments like those that make all the time I've spent on writing worth it. Well actually, I'd write no matter what, but to me that moment was still priceless. But the weird thing is, this kind of thing has happened more than a few times in the past couple years. I'll see an old friend who I haven't talked to in months, and the first thing they mention is something about what I wrote in my blog.
Another good "blog" moment was at the poker table yesterday, someone actually said something like "according to Dudo's blog, A-K was a 70% favorite..." haha, that cracks me up.
- Mowed the lawn and did some trimming with my brand new edger.
- As I write, there is an awesome game on the TV next to me. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, Tampa Bay up 2-1 over Calgary late in the 3rd. Thus, I must cut this blog short so that I can watch the end of this thing. Might be the last NHL game to be played in a long time.
- Before I go, check out this site: http://www.poe-news.com/features.php?feat=31845. I thought it was funny.
