Wow, I remember a time when people used to blog often. It was a golden era of communication when people would get home and say "man, I gotta blog what happened today so people know what is going on." As a result years or peace and harmony rain. . . then again I also remember the 2 year drought of blogging that happened.
So my point it I am suprised that no one has blogged recently. Especially Mark who has action going on with housing stuff and is, I guess, waiting until everything is resolved to tell us what is going on.
At the same time it is also my fault, the lack of blogging that is. I've been sitting at my computer plenty, but since a large chunk of my time is spent talking to Chowning on the phone I haven't really blogged much. Due yto a cell phone bill that was about 3x what I usually pay, there will be a stalling of calls to my girlfiend, so it's back to the blog!! At some point I'm sure I'll figure out how to work the two into life at the same time, but right now girlfriend beats blog.
Jeez, work starts monday. I don't have to teach monday, but I have to go back for pre-planning days for a whole week. It's better than the sucker new teachers who have to go back tomorrow (stupid rookies), but still, Chowning is off until the 19th or something and I'm ridiculously jealous.
There's a lot of school work that I was hoping to have done before I went back . . . and not much of it is done. That is going to be the focus of todays agenda, but at the same time I doubt much will get done. I really need to get back in my room, fix it, and prepare demonstrations.
Chowning will be done with work this Friday, and then spending the next week in ATL. In typical sappy Martin style (by the way it is nice to have a girlfriend who doesn't find me being a romantic weird . . . have I mentioned how great my girlfriend is), Chowning will be recieving a "congrats" bouquet of flowers at work friday. The flowers aren't much, but they are really a distraction so I'm not worried. Later in the day I will be showing up in Nashville to suprise her and give her some company for the ride to ATL. I can't drive there, because I would have to drive back . . . so I'm taking . . . GREYHOUND! Despite all of the horror stories about the local, it seemed like the best bet to get there for relatively cheap. I'm leaving at fucking 8 am, have to get there at 7 to get my ticket. My plan is go fight my way onto the first bus, then sit in the corner with my GBA and headphones on, a crutch and a bag in the seat next to me, and refuse to talk to anyone for the next 5 hours. Wish me luck and that I don't find a way to pick up some strange disease. I think Ellen Honeycutt said it best when I told her this last night and she said, "you're taking Greyhound. That's love." The concern that crosses my mind is if Chowning is crafty enough to find and read this blog and ruin my suprise.
Aside from that there really isn't much going on. I work out most days, but it is easy shit centered around riding a bike for range of motion and doing upper body work. I have managed to drop 10 pounds since surgery, but I'm not sure how well that will stay off.
On the video game from things have a different flavor around here. While when I last posted things were very into Chronicles, we've now been sucked back in time as there is almost always someone playing Diablo 2. Jeremy is hooked in whenever he is here, and Mark is pretty much always in. To continue the time warp, my soul has been burning as of late, and I've only been able to quench it with Souil Calibur 2. I've now begun to quell the fire, and am moving slightly on to Metal Slug 3 (Mmmm side scrollers). I've also traded in a bunch of games to pick up Tekken Tag, another Crash game, and Mario Luigi: Superstar Saga (again, don't get me started on how I am god's whipping boy). Plus with a slew of good games coming out in the future, I'm sure there will be many games to come. Then again, work looms on the horizon and now I've got a girlfriend. We'll see how things go.
