Crazy busy (sorta)
I'm back and forth looking back at my weekend - trying to decide whether I was crazy busy or not so busy.
Let's see, Friday night - went out to 17 Home for a friend's surprise 30th birthday. It was a cool setup in the back room, completely decked out with decorations. They had pictures of her from when she was a kid ironed on to T-shirts that we all wore, plus pictures of her and some of the other party people (who have been friends for a long time) from whenst they were much younger - and much less cool looking. Although they were probably still uber-cool inside. They had these little ski cookie things, with little sugar pellets in the bag to simulate snow (i found it fascinating - GENIUS! - sugar pellets = snow = E = mc2). I apparently had the coolest t-shirt with her picture on it - I did not think it was that cool however it was not easy for me to soak in the full picture since I was wearing it. Come to think of it, I still haven't really looked at it. I should go do that now. After my blog entry.
But it was a fun night. Similar to other nights of drinking but had some good conversations with people. Spent a good chunk of the night talking to a friend about her Asian speed-dating man. That was an interesting conversation. Not to blow her cover entirely, but the conversation basically boiled down to the uncomfortable feeling when you actually are into the person more than they are into you - and how that usually results in you being more interested in said un-interested person. Anyways, I've been that guy - not often, mind you - I'm not that Jude Law - but if the dude is like that, cut loose and say bye bye. Which I think she is very capable of doing since there are probably several guys waiting in the wings. or so i hear...
Saturday - was not so busy. Another successful day on Tradesports though. Made some solid bets and they all panned out. So I went and bought a new iPod - the Photo iPod 60GB. Life is finally returning to normal sinec that stupid Vancouver thing. I'd hate to see if anything really bad ever happened to me - I mean, it's taken me so long to recover from my laptop bag being stolen. I would be useless if anything else happened. which it won't. because i just knocked on wood. magic wood. that's what the ladies call it anyways. (er lady). bought lady a watch too, since I was a winna on Tradesports and because it's been way too long since I just bought her something. it was nice. she likey. then watched tv in the evening. yeah, not so busy.
Today - my nephew was baptized. he is too cute. he wore the outfit I got baptized in, and like me, (i think) didn't cry. go figure - i didn't cry today. he was such a good boy. it was nice to see all the people that gathered together for him too. it's been way too long since I've seen some of those people. usually see them at the annual christmas party, but my mom didn't have one of those this year so andrew brought us all together. had a nice chinese banquet afterwards and came home. once i got home, I've been busy though. got the ipod loaded up. got several phone calls for acting gigs (including ANOTHER role - woohoo!). and just getting everything in order. oh, and the good day of Tradesports yesterday - offset by a totally CRAP day today. oh well. I got too excited. have to make the smart bets.
one final thought because this was so appropriate of the hertz lady to tell me in the first place. when i went to hertz to return my rental car from today, some lady was talking the hertz lady's ear off - like "go take care of that", etc. So when I get up there, naturally, I have to be curious and ask wtf that was all about.
Hertz lady: I have gas and I can't release it.
there was more. but like anything good in life, I'm gonna keep you wanting more....
