Wild Weird Day

Today a whole bunch of stuff happened. My mom's iPod died so we took it back to Best Buy (under warranty) so that they can verify the drive is dead and replace it with a new one. We went to lunch at Quiznos and ran into Mr. Leverton; an elementary school teacher that still works at the elementary school I went to as a kid/taught at for a year.

My uncle was moved to Loyola University last night and they did surgery on him today. Things look like they are doing well thank God. My mom & I are flying out on Sunday morning which means that posting may become less frequent or stop altogether until I return.

My friend Shelley insisted that I come out for the TGIF for work at PH Woods... So, I went. I had a couple beers, mingled with coworkers and was given a very nice compliment by the head of the Art Department at Vista Del Lago (our newest high school in town). She asked me why I'm not at her school and insists that I come see her animation program over there. I will schedule that after I return from Chicago. I'm looking forward to it.

After the TGIF stuff, I went to Steve's apartment, played with Austin and I don't know how that kid does it but he always wears me out. I had a great time catching up with Steve & Kumi. When I was leaving Steve & Kumi's I thought I'd call Dave & see what he was up to. It turns out he was at Shaunee's house which wasn't far away. I hung out over there with them for the remainder of the night. Kenny even drove in from Phoenix to hang out for a few hours. It was good to see everyone. The only slightly weird thing was everyone was smoking out except for 3 of us. I'm used to it but it's still always a strange situation. Mal passed out on the floor in the bathroom and I accidentally hit him in the head with the door. If he didn't move I was going to take some masking tape and mark off where he laid because he was laying there in an ackward position.

By about 4AM I was tired of playing ping pong and it was time to come home. Oh, a side note. It's always funny when I'm off track and run into students & their families.... Especially when wearing my green "Drunkagen" t-shirt. Thankfully I remembered I had it on and smiled, waved, and kept walking on my hunt to find a new pair of shoes.

Yes, Etnies do apparently come in a size 14 (sasquach).
