It's Monday, and I need a break from all this working.
My sister came to visit me. She brought her boyfriend, Bon Bon. Friday, we went to see Doug Benson, and he was hilarious, and he signed a copy of his CD for me, and I got a picture with him (I'll post it in the My Mug when my sister sends it to me). Saturday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium. It was soooooooooo cool. I could sit and watch the big tank with the Whale Sharks and the giant Grouper for hours. Also, the Sea Otters. We went to Little Five Points and shopping at Junkman's Daughter. Then we went to a cool-ass t-shirt store where they will make you a t-shirt while you wait. Yesterday, my sister and her boyfriend went to 6 Flags, but we didn't go, and I'm really glad now because they had a really crappy time. Then we went and ate at the OK Cafe before they headed back to KY. I'd never eaten there before, and it was really good.
Went to a Nashville Sounds baseball game (minor league team) on Friday. They lost Then just stayed at home the rest of the time, cleaning and organzing my Roo stuff!
Oh, and got the leak in my car fixed. Boys are apparently good for some things
Friday went to the casino and won $500 on the blackjack tables Saturday set up the tent for Roo and watched the Pens get their asses kicked Sunday cooked out at a friends

friday, hung out around a fire pit drinking beer
saturday night worked, got off work and hung around @ the bar. grateful dead and some odd beers (for free) later i was far too shit faced in my place of work. ;D
Wow, we are the same age. I will actually be celebrating my 31st this Saturday at Roo, but I had a little party for my H-town friends this past Saturday, which was a blast.
The rest of the weekend... Friday I went to see Robin Trower. He's a legendary guitarist, probably the closest you can get to seeing Jimi Hendrix. But we got there late and only got to see about the last half hour. Considering I paid about $85 for the two tickets, it was frustrating.
Sunday, went to an art museum, did laundry and watched the basketball game. Overall, a great weekend. Now, just a couple more hours at work today, a full day tomorrow, and then the BEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR!
Friday I went down to NYC, visited some family in the afternoon, and then went to my brother's engagement party. Afterwards I went out barhopping with him, his fiancee and about 8-10 of their friends.
Saturday I wandered around Manhattan for a few hours, then picked up my dog from my uncle's clinic (my uncle's a vet, he neutered our dog for us) and headed back to Boston.
Sunday was more low-key, mostly a recovery day - but in the evening, we went to the airport to pick up my brother (different brother than the one who got engaged). He's just come home from Korea, so we sat around and caught up with each other on everything that's happened over the past few months.
Friday I saw John Prine and Steve Earle. Saturday I saw David Byrne and DeVotchKa. Sunday I tried to recover from the cumulative hangover caused by Friday and Saturday nights.
Friday afternoon me and bro-in-law drove to Baton Rouge. Went to eat at this greasy spoon diner called Louie's which is like famous in BR. Talked to the rad waitress who informed of us the cool non fratty music venues because we were staking out places for bro's band to play.(no offense to frats). Found a place called Spanish Moon who had a Bonnaroo band booked that night. We thought that was a rad coincidence so we went to see Passion Pit. The other band Harlem Shakers was pretty good too. We stayed out drinking til about 2:30. Unfortunately I had to be up @ 7 AM for LSU grad orientation....fun stuff....lond tedious day....yummy avocado wraps for lunch helped out though! Then drove back to Shreveport and ate pizza for dinner....crashed hard.

Friday night I went to see Jimmy Herring and the Fayetteville Funk Ensemble, then played some Mario Kart after that.
Saturday I went to Oklahoma City and played a round of disc golf with my brother. Then went to my hometown of Kingfisher and adopted a kitten. After getting back to Tulsa I had dinner with friend then went to see The Hangover.
Sunday I had breakfast, replaced a laptop's broken screen, then went swimming.
I packed up most of my apartment. Had lunch with a friend I haven't seen in 6 months. Went to a surprise Birthday party for my sister's 30th b-day. Surprisingly, I drank very little. Bought a new TV. Watched "Ed Wood" on new TV. Cooked a package of bacon. But only ate 7 pieces ;D
I saw KISS. They knocked it out of the fucking park. Don't even get me started.
Stayed overnight at my parents' house in the hometown.
Got pulled over around 2:15am en route to visit some friends after the show. Cop asked where I had been that night, I told him I was meeting some friends after the Kiss show in Milwaukee. His response to that was "Nice!"
Got a five-day warning on a brake light I hadn't realized was out. Spent Sunday taking care of that and washing the car while taking advantage of free laundry.
Arrived home and watched some Nurse Jackie on demand. I'm digging that show.
My first time seeing it. I wasn't impressed, the movie had a hard time holding my attention. Depp's Ed Wood character and his Willy Wonka character are very similar... that's all I could think about.
Then just stayed at home the rest of the time, cleaning and organzing my Roo stuff!
;D
