Ok, so things went pretty well this weekend. I’m trying to update this thing more frequently even when things are going good, so that it can actually consist of stuff that’s interesting and not just me bitching during the infrequent pissy times that I have.

Anyway, on to the important stuff. I had an awesome time yesterday hanging out with Vic and Reuben and Vic’s mom, although it was unfortunate that Vic’s mom was making some comments and doing some stuff to make him uncomfortable. It’s her way of dealing with Vic coming out, but nonetheless, there are better ways to do it that wouldn’t end up in your son’s progress being set back.

On the crappier side, I realized when going out to take some trash out that Keagan’s bike got stolen. Which sucks balls. It was a little big for him, but nonetheless worked and would’ve provided a little cash, if sold, to buy a bike which fit better. I’m annoyed because this is the 2nd or 3rd incident we’ve had recently. And we think it’s the skeezy folks that our neighbors bring by. In addition to being loud and annoying and obnoxious, their choice of friends is especially crappy, and tend to be the type of folks that I’d avoid if I saw them on the street. The other 2 incidents were my bike pump being stolen from my bike and Keagan’s mph meter being stolen…mind you, not the wire and the indicator that measures the mph, but just the meter display at the top ( can we say idiots?)

Today was a lil better, it was very relaxed which was nice. A lot to talk about. I walked Keagan to work, came back and proceeded to fix a drawer that’s been broken for a while. After that I brought in my bike, one of the few still remaining in the outside area, and cleaned it all nice and purdy. Surprisingly this is the first spring/summer time when my bike has survived without getting a random flat tire (without having had me ride it at all, figure that one out).

Then I got a call from Keagan asking me to meet him, so we tried 2 or 3 sushi places, all closed. Finally we settled on P.F. Chang’s and had a nice little lunch, after being forgotten about, remembered, having Hot and Sour soup that smelled EXACTLY like the animal area at the State Fair, random but surprisingly accurate. Had good food delivered sans silverware, awesomeness. Then he headed home to meet up with his Big, and I rode my bike to the bike shop to check out their pumps. Nothing struck my fancy so I rode home, but the bike still appears to be in good condition.

I ended up chilling at home, cleaning a little. Then wanted to start re-entering all my old entries that were lost on my old online journal account. Double-click on the icon for my usb drive “Please insert drive” (crap, but it’s inserted!). Take it out, re-insert it “USB device not recognized” (awesomeness). After proceeding through a series of maneuvers, I finally come to terms with the fact that my USB drive has taken a crap. And, lovely as it where, I haven’t backed it up since I first got it and copied everything over from my first drive. Fortunately I still have that, but everything is 3 months old and not updated since. Now I get to try and figure out if I can get my old data back or what.

In the meantime, I’ve been updating my journal with my old entries. Almost at 100…only 600 or so to go…whee!

I think that’s all I’ve got. Nope…We’re moving to one of the front apts. We are currently in a 670 sq ft apt that runs $800 a month. The new apt is roughly 900 and is $975 a month. My only worry is getting the….thicker pieces of furniture inside, namely the sofas, the bookcase, the fridge, and the desk. Whee fun!

Ok, now that’s it. Back to re-entering the old journal and watching old stuff off the DVR.
