what have you been up to, michael ?
1:23 p.m.
umm, ok, let's get caught up here...
last friday as i mentioned, i went to arcata and delivered vd cookies..met up with my chatroom bud nth there...we had coffee and then took two bags to dan at his work for him and kev. then went up to school and dropped by ricky's office and went up the hill to pop in on j too. so, nth got to met everyone, that was cool. him and i had a good friend in common years ago ( that fucker that broke my heart, actually) and we met in the chat room months ago and eventually i figured out who he was...small world!
saturday j came down and i fixed dinner...chicken cooked in coca cola and ketchup...don't laugh, it's great! just google that for all kinds of recipies..i made whole wheat pasta, spinach salad..found some great bread with garlic cloves in it..oh, and the boy's fave ice cream with blackberries on top.
we watched the joni concert thing a bit before dinner...after we went online and talked to sw-iowa online...had the cam on and sw was happy to see j, that was fun. then we went to the chat room and it was funny, cuz j was typing for me, so sometimes it was him talking, and sometimes it was me. we confused a few people, hehe! then we watched the rest of the joni vid...had a perfect moment or two. ( italian text deleted ) "black crow" was especially good, she had her "magnificent ex-husband" on bass...you know..."klien", she always calls him, that's so cute. that show is so good, she tells a few funny stories, "willie" gives her the rock and roll hall of fame award she got, she forgets lyrics...so, yeah, that was a wonderful night, indeed.
sunday i was kinda in a lazy blissed out mood, slept on the couch a bit, read a bit, la la la. early monday morning i had a weird dream, about letting the cat in the front door, it was dark and i thought he might be a skunk. then my buddy dillon was there and i was pushing him against the wall and kissing him...i mean, weird, i've never even met the boy, and that certainly isn't my style. then right after that i woke up and um...let the cat in!
monday after work walking around, i saw guys getting out of their cars heading into their houses with flowers and balloons...i did my part, sent a few e-cards.
at work i keep hearing that sting song where he keeps saying "i hate to say it, i hate to say it"...well, SHUT UP then...PLEASE!
yesterday went to the high school with j, he took some pics of the gym for the historical society. it's a good example of the international style, though i prefer the art building, it's very deco...
( once again i have been asked to remind you that this photo is � by j. 2005. all right reserved. unauthorized duplication is a violation of federal law! he will kick your ass and ask questions later!)
then we headed down to table bluff road and got 6 bags of litter and recycleables. then we went down south of fortuna and ate at this old-school truck stop. the men's room was interesting, boilerplate on the stalls and steam coming over the top of them, there's a shower there, it looked like something out of a david lynch film. i had a big breakfast, eggs, toast, hash browns, sausage and gravy. j had a burger.
came back here and i burned the photos for him and made him a sergio mendes cd. that shit is sooo cool!
today i got up early, did my ten miles already, i am on fire! gonna make out some bills, maybe get a few groceries later...yakkin' with j right now...
ok, that's all..love ya...
