Sorry, no story or diatribe this week, just right into it.
Things accomplished this week: Finished the tenth book in A Series of Unfortanate Events. The Slippery Slope. I like how there are jokes in there for adults. Sunny, the baby of the three siblings in the book, speaks in one word sentences. Then the author translates it into what Sunny meant to say. My favourite jokes with this device in this book was "Godot!" and Sunny meant something along the lines about waiting for someone you never know when they will get there or who they actually are. How many kids are going to get that is a Waiting for Godot reference. Actually, how many kids know what Waiting for Godot is? My other favourite Sunny joke was when she said "Rosebud!". She was talking about something that was symobolic and didn't actually represent what it actually was. You'll always get my respect with a Citizen Kane reference. Daniel Handler(oops...I mean Lemony Snicket) is a great author. I should find one of Mr. Handler's adult books and see how well of a writer he is.
I also finished Scrubs: Season 3 this afternoon. I think Scrubs is my favourite TV show. This season had the Micheal J. Fox episodes. Which are two of the best episodes. Also this season featured my two favourite jokes. The pancake in the silverware drawer joke, and the double prizer cereal box flashback. Wonderful stuff. Will probably watch it again.
Wednesday I went down to Welch for Jeff's last Wed. as a bartender. I only planned to have a beer or two and come home. I started playing pool with some people, and we eventually went to Paddy's. While there, and still pretty sober, we(this being a friend of Jeff's who's name is Dave, and another guy named Will, and myself) discovered the best way to break the ice when trying to meet girls. We'd walk up to them with Will and he's ask them if he went to high school with them. They'd start talking about high school and whatnot, and then after that, Dave and I would start talking to them. The most interesting of these was one of the girls we went up to and started talking to, it was her birthday. So Dave and I took her to the bar to buy her a birthday drink. So while we were sitting there, her and I started talking your typical small talk type things. She was pretty drunk though and would talk nonsense every once in awhile. But at one point while I was talking to her, she was acting very sad. I asked her what was wrong and she just casually tells me that she isn't cute. She was very wrong in this assumption. I then told her that she was very wrong, and she was very cute and gave her a hug and kissed her forehead. At this point, I started thinking how a jerk would of taken full of advantage of that. Not me, I'm one of the nicest guys to ever grace God's Green Earth, so I walked her back to her friends, gave her another hug and told her to enjoy her birthday. Then went back to using our method of meeting girls. Eventually went back to Welch until close and then came home. Made a drunken post on Blogger. It was deleted, but not before Charlie read it. Maybe some others did, I don't know. But Charlie made sure to give me much sass over it. I actually don't rememeber at all what the post was about. Whenever I drink, I come home and take asprin and drink two big glasses of water, to make sure I don't get a hangover. I got to do something while I'm drinking the water. It usually is to sit at the computer.
Another thing that happened this week was I helped Frank put in flooring at his house. I'm always willing to help people if they ask me. I also always forget that my back isn't the greatest, and that I'm stupid when it comes to stuff like that, but I'm always willing to help. It was pretty interesting and something different to do, which is something I always welcome.
Came home from Frank's at about one in the morning. Sat and talked to people online for quiet some time. About two AM I went to Perkins with Lori, until about 5:30 this morning. Alas, since I believe there should always be a bit of mystery around someone, I think I'll end this Week in Review now.
(But, for the record, I'm still very much single...before any rumors start circulating.)
