Current Music: Death Cab For Cutie - Title and Registration
Current Mood: Doing lots of thinking
I've been wanting to do this huge update for so long, but hadn't had the motivation until now. There's so much stuck in my head, and I just wanted to get it all out. But every time I've sat down at the keyboard, fired up my iPod, popped onto Vox, I just couldn't get anything going. But watch out, because here it comes . . .
So, let's see . . . what's happened since the last time I posted . . . when was the last time I posted?
(Now playing: Howie Day - Collide)
Okay, so I posted a week or so ago, after going to Barnes and Noble with Heather. But a lot's happened since then, so I have a lot to write about!
First off, as I mentioned in my last post, I bought an iPod on Friday!
That's what it looks like! I really like the new menu and cover flow they've got going on with it. Plus the fact that I actually need more than 80 gigs makes me really happy :-) I was always disappointed that I only got a 30gig black one two years ago, so this was a great purchase.
I'm working overnight tonight, which will be the first extended use of the iPod so far. Yay!!
Then on Sunday I finally had enough money to buy a Wii when we actually got them in stock. So yay for me and my wii:
(Now playing: Nick Drake - One of These Things First)
I've been very excited about buying a Wii for a long time. Greg and other serious gamers think I should have bought a 360 or whatever, but honestly, I'm not all that into the hardcore gaming aspect of it. I'm more trying to relive my childhood, and buying a Nintendo definitely does that. I even was able to download Super Mario 2 and 3, as well as Sonic 3. At five dollars each, they are well worth it!
So yeah, it's actually been helping me fill the time that I usually spend sitting in my room thinking. At the same time, thoughts still pop into my head, of course. I wouldn't be me without being depressed and sad, right? And a bit angry, now, too.
Why am I angry? Because of what happened at work yesterday. I was told, in the middle of the salesfloor, that I am responsible for the electronics department not running well, because I'm friends with Greg. Thanks Bob . . . it's good to know that that's what you think of me . . . I'm so bad that I'm bringing others down, instead of making Greg accountable for his own work. Honestly, he's one of my best friends, but if he's messing up, it's his fault, not mine.
(Now playing: The Shins - Girl On The Wing)
So I decided to do an overnight today so I didn't have to deal with any of them. And then I find out that Klaus is doing the overnight, too. Blah. The only positive that I can find is that I plan on getting A LOT done today, and maybe he'll see that and feel good about it. Honestly, I really hope that happens,anyway. We shall see tonight.
I was going to live-blog during the night, but I can't edit my past posts on my phone, so I dunno if I wanna post a multitude of posts during the night. We'll see how it's going, I guess. Although I'm alone on this overnight, I'm quite okay with it because it'll help me get done with what I have to get done with. Yay for me and my bright ideas.
Other than that, I've been kinda blank lately. I haven't been getting super-depressed lately, which is good. I think it's because I have so much other shit on my mind that I'm not thinking about the loneliness.
(Now playing: Kimya Dawson - Tire Swing)
I do get down, though. I wish I was able to say that I'm over it and feeling good about things, because I'm not over it, and I still can't get past my pessimism right now. So that sucks. What's weird is that there have been times when I wanted to be around my friends 24/7, but recently I've been wanting to just stay here and stay away from everyone, which scares me even more than the opposite, because wanting to feel reclusive makes me think that my depression is getting worse instead of better.
(Now playing: The Shins - Saint Simon)
I see Greg a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Which I guess is okay, but I make his problems into my problems, and that's not good, and I know that. And I sometimes want to take a step back but I'm so scared to make things worse for him.
I see Heather once a week or so, outside of work, which is always a good time. Heather and I always have fun when we're together, which is nice.
I very, very rarely see Brittney anymore, either at work or outside of work, because her schedule is not anything like mine. Doesn't seem to bother her much . . . if it does, she doesn't show it.
I saw Melissa last night. We did beer and appetizers at Applebees (which, by the way, now serves Guinness). I try to see her at least once a week, but we stay in constant communication on blackberry messenger.
I saw Andrew and Emily last night, too!! We did Croxleys, which was awesome. Hopefully it won't be more than a week or two before we do it again.
James I see at work, but we haven't been hanging out at all outside of work, which is really weird. Like, really weird.
That's pretty much the state of my friendships at this point. Some of them are good, some I'd like to work more on, honestly. I still get so frustrated at certain people and friends. It's unhealthy to keep it all inside, and I know that, but I could never actually have that conversation with them.
My week's looking like this so far:
Friday: Overnight
Saturday: Sleep, then nothing planned
Sunday: Work, with fun people
Monday: Work, no plans
Tuesday: Work, Primary Night . . .watching results on CNN/MSNBC
Wednesday: School
Thursday: Work/School
I dunno, I'm actually not too upset about it. I don't even know if I want to make plans for tomorrow. I'm gonna be sleeping for most of the day, and I probably should just relax the rest of the night, since I'm in at 5am the next day.
I dunno, I'm really looking forward to Tuesday night . . . the four primaries are very close between Hillary and Obama. And Ohio and Texas are HUGE. Hillary's pretty much gotta win both . . . and they're both very close in the polls in both states. so it's gonna be an interesting night :-D I'm very excited. I really don't have much to look forward to until then, or afterwards, either.
(Now playing: The Mavericks - I Want To Know)
But that's not a terrible thing, I think, either. I've been going out a lot, and not watching what I eat, so I have to cut that back anyway. And I should start refocusing on school a little harder.
I dunno, I don't know, i am unsure of what's going on in my head. I haven't felt this blank in a long time. Like I said, I'm not depressed at all, I have no emotions whatsoever I don't like that feeling at all.
I hope the overnight goes well. I reallllly hope so.
Okay, that's all for now. I'll definitely be blogging from the Team Lead Office at some point tonight, if not multiple times.

So I woke up this morning feeing a little down. I've been doing pretty much okay after the breakup, which I kinda figured I would. It only really depressed me for like a week or so, which seems normal for the amount of time we were dating (two months total, one month as boyfriend/girlfriend). Oh, wow, actually I didn't realize that it's only been a little more than two weeks since we broke up anyway.
So yeah, I think I'm doing much better than I figured I would be. Except for one thing. I'm not sitting around all depressed, and I'm not pining over Brittney or anything like that. I have the same sadness that I had before I ever hung out with her, and that's just the overall loneliness and wondering if I'll ever be truly happy again. But even that comes and goes, and has nothing to do with her.
The one problem is that it still is kinda awkward to hang out with her. When we text each other or talk online, I'm totally fine. But when we hang out or even when I see her at work, many times I'm not okay. I don't know what the difference is, but it sucks. I really feel like we can be friends, since we didn't get far enough into the relationship for it to be weird to see each other as friends. But for now I dunno how to get past it. I dunno, it's annoying though. I talked to her about it last night in a very long text message conversation. I was gonna talk to her about it at work, face to face, but it got super-busy and we didn't get a chance to. And she's going to Florida for a week tomorrow to see her grandparents. So I wanted to say what I wanted to say before she left. She noticed that it's been kinda weird for me, and she wants to do anything she can to help me be okay. I think that the next week will be pretty helpful, since I won't see her for like eight or nine days.
So I started thinking about my friends. I mean, they really mean a lot to me . . . how about I explain why. In no order whatsoever.
Pete: He's been my best friend for ten years now. We became friends in November 1997 on a trip to Boston and he's been there for me through everything. I don't get to see Pete much anymore, since he works insanely a lot. It's a shame, and I want to try to make more time for him.
Andrew: I seriously can't ask for a better friend than Andrew. I will forever be indebted to him for being there for me in the summer of 2006. After Rocio broke up with me, I was online every night and he was there talking to me every night. Seriously, every single night from July through December when I moved back. And since then we've hung out regularly. He's been there for me no matter what.
Mandi: Although I've never met Mandi, she is definitely one of my best friends. We met here, on Vox. We started talking online early on during my semester in the dorms, fall of 2006. We still talk often and she's helped me through most of my depression. I do hope to one day make it up to Ottawa or have her visit here in New York :-)
Melissa: Melissa has been an amazing friend since we started hanging out in August. She's seriously been there for me through everything I've gone through since then. She's one of those people who would do absolutely anything for a friend. Some of her other friends take advantage of that, but I don't. But seriously, I needed someone to help me last week at like 1am and she was there in fifteen minutes picking me up and helping me out hugely. I just hope I am there for her as much as she is for me.
James: I've been friends with James for almost four years now. It's so weird to think about what it was like back when we first became friends. We both were very, very different people. But he's stuck by me through everything. Even though we didn't talk nearly as much when I was living in South Dakota, he is still one of my best friends today. That's huge, ya know? And although all of my friends make me laugh, he is seriously the funniest friend that I have.
Greg: Greg and I haven't been friends for that long, but I'm glad he's my friend now. We're going through similar situations, being broken up with within a week by our significant others, and we've been able to kinda be there for each other. And during the two months that Brittney and I dated, we double dated with Greg and Chelsea seriously twenty times. He's a really good guy.
Heather: Heather's a new addition to my friends. I talked to her a bit before, but since she came back to working at the front end and I started dating Brittney we all started talking a lot. And then after the breakup, Heather's been there for me a lot, which led to us becoming friends. And I'm glad, because we get along quite well. Plus, we have the same taste in music, which is always awesome.
John: Much like Heather, I haven't been friends with John for very long. But he was right there for me after the breakup as well. He's always willing to help me out if I need him, which is great.
Seriously, without these people and many others, I don't know I'd get by. I'm thankful every day that I have friends like them. And when I start to get lonely, sometimes it helps me to think about that.

Hello all! Seeing as how my last post was nearly a week ago, I figured I'd drop in and update and whatnot. Things are going pretty well, for the most part. It's been a pretty good week, and it's gonna be a nice weekend.
Tomorrow night I'm having dinner with Andrew and Emily at a Japanese Restaurant out by Andrew's house. This'll be nice, since I haven't seen them in about a month. Or maybe even longer! So, we'll enjoy that.
Then on Saturday I'm going kayaking with Christine, Melissa, and Christine's sister, and her friend Ariella. That's going to be an interesting adventure, honestly. She says it's fun. I'm hoping that it is. I've never kayaked before, which is part of the reason that I'm apprehensive about it. But I may as well start taking more risks. :-)
Then Sunday is Nicole's 4th birthday party. It's a Luau! That'll be a fun time, too, kinda. I'll work that morning, so I'll be kinda tired at the party, but that's okay.
Them Monday-Thursday is work. Then Friday I'll be on a plane with James to Atlanta, Georgia to see our favorite band, EVER!
That's right, only 8 days until DMB at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. I am VERY excited at this. We'll see what they play at the Gorge this weekend. The three shows at the Gorge are usually amazing. So we'll see what they pull out there.
Awwww yeah :-)
Anyway, I'll post all about school another time. I'm kinda tired and wanna get some sleep. :-) Hope all is well with everyone else.
Yay!

Current Music: Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
Current Mood: bad
So, a year ago today my parents came to visit me in South Dakota. Rocio and I pretended to be together, since we hadn't told our parents about the breakup yet. That was relatively uncomfortable, honestly.
Then I started getting ready to move into the dorm after they left. I was scared to death of going into the dorms. Remember? I posted about it on here, I believe. God, what strange things I went through last year.
Oh, so how about this . . . last weekend (August 4-5) was one of the best weekends I've ever had. Saw dmb twice, had a great time hanging out with James. It just all went well. One year ago the same weekend I had what I still consider to be the worst weekend I've ever had in all of my life. I went to Minneapolis with Rocio, Juan, and Michelle. Things were bad. I mean, we had just broken up a few weeks before, she was getting ready for Rob's first visit, and we just were NOT getting along at all. A LOT was making me think about how terrible my life was at that point and things were just bad.
So, it's funny that the same exact weekend on consecutive years can be such hugely opposite experiences!
Anyway, today was a nice, relaxing day off. I worked a bit yesterday, so today was my only real day off. I didn't do much of anything except for hang out, listen to music, e-mail a few people, text message a few people, and listen to more music :-) Can't complain about that at all. Back to work tomorrow, but I feel good about my job now. I'm all set up for this week's signing, so I should be fine. I want to try to help Melissa in Market, since she's been having issues with being understaffed on the salesfloor. So I'm going to try to throw some hours that way in the midst of my signing. We'll see how it goes.
I've been kinda sick the past four days, but it hasn't been too bad. I've had a really annoying runny/stuffy nose thing going on, but I got Aleve Cold and Sinus (the stuff behind the pharmacy, the hard stuff!) for that. But I have this annoying really deep cough, which frustrates me. Hopefully it's going away soon. At least I didn't get strep for the third time in four months!
I was just looking back at my Vox entries from last August. Apparently I moved into the dorms August 28. That's almost exactly a year before I start at my new college :-) I start Adelphi on August 27. I mean, I think. I haven't officially gotten accepted yet, but I am 99% sure that I'm getting accepted. But it takes up to two weeks for them to get it all set up, and I just finished getting my letters and transcripts in this past monday. So tomorrow is only one week. I'd much rather them tell me this week, though, then wait. I don't want it to come too close.
So, I made a stupid decision. I stopped taking my meds again. I do this every now and then, for two reasons:
1) I was feeling great at the time. I honestly felt great about my life (as you may remember from my past entries). So I figured I didn't need medicine to feel great, my life was great naturally.
2) I was sick of needing medicine to feel great in the first place.
I find, however, that I do need it. I mean, I didn't really think about it until today, but I just went downhill FAST once I stopped taking the medicine. So I started again tonight. It'll take a bit of time to kick in, but I'm back on it.
It's funny, though. Although I'm back to being really, really depressed and lonely and whatnot, I'm still listening to stupidly depressing music. I don't understand why I do that. I just don't get myself.
I do look forward to going back to work tomorrow. I like being there more than being off. At least when I'm there, I get to see people and chat with people. Then again, now that I have gym buddies, I feel more social. Last night, after we went to the gym, Christine, Melissa, and I went to Cold Stone. Oddly, I haven't been to Cold Stone since I was still living in Sioux Falls with Rocio. So it's been a year. But it was nice to just sit at the table, chatting about things over ice cream. So, I have been more social lately. And that'll become even more social when school starts and I'm hanging out with Andrew again, and seeing people at school as well as work. And hopefully Pete will be more available.
Yet as un-lonely as I have been, I feel completely alone. I closed my e-harmony account. Although I'm feeling this way, I want something to happen naturally somehow. I want to experience finding someone in person. Rocio and I started out on the internet (obviously, we had to), and it worked well . . .I mean we got along for most of the time and we did work well. So I'm not against the internet. I just want to experience something different.
We'll see what happens.
This hasn't been nearly as depressing as I thought it would be. But I'm going to try to get some sleep, since I overslept for work the past few days and haven't been on a normal sleeping routine since before my Hartford trip.
More tomorrow.

Current Music: Dave Matthews Band - Hunger For The Great Light
Current Mood: tired and okay
So, I was gonna go to sleep, but first I wanted to post a bit. Things are going pretty well right now. I was kinda down the other day, because I had this dream. I dreamed that I met this girl who was into dmb, and we decided to go on a date. The dream was pretty much my first date with this girl. It went really well, too! We hit it off right away. And when I woke up, I was actually feeling really good. I was content and happy, because I had found someone! Then I snapped out of it and realized that I had no one. It was a tough morning.
(Now playing: Dave Matthews Band - Spotlight)
I do have friends, though. And I'm so happy about it. I've been going to the gym with Christine and Melissa. It's so nice to get back to the gym, honestly. I had stopped going because I was so tired after work, and on my days off I was busy. But now that I'm going with others, I have more motivation. Plus, we get along well together, so it's nice to get together chat about Target (since we all work there), and just have a good time together. It's actually nice to just get out of the house sometimes. James has been available to hang out less and less lately, and Pete has been MIA. Andrew and I will be hanging out regularly again once school starts, since I'm gonna head up to Stony Brook during one of his long breaks on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays. Honestly, the less time I'm sitting here on the computer listening to depressing music or watching depressing television shows or movies the better.
I popped into work today for a few hours to make up some time that I missed when I was off on Monday. I used the time to completely clean and reorganize my signing area. It's now set up exactly the way I want it to be, which I'm thankful for.
(Now playing: The Postal Service - Sleeping In)
I think that I've actually posted this song before. I love it. I don't know what it about it, but it is just an amazing song. I've been thinking a lot about Rocio and the past lately. Not in a depressing way or anything. Just about certain things that happened a while back.
Anyway, I'm gonna go to sleep. Enjoy this song:
-Anthony
I had a great time today/tonight at Lenae's party/baby shower! I wasn't supposed to be the only male there, but it turned out that way. That being said, everyone was still comfortably themselves tonight, discussing uterus stuff, lactation, and other fun baby stuff. But yeah, most of the night was spent gossiping about Target, laughing A LOT, and enjoying each other's company.
Lenae LOVED my gift, which I am very happy about.
Overall, today was great. I'm so glad I went!
Yay for me!

Current Mood: happy
Current Music: Shakira (featuring Wyclef) - Hips Don't Lie
I can't STAND how happy this song makes me. Hehehe. I know, I'm such a dork, but this is such a very fun song, honestly. I actually dropped the 99 cents and bought it on iTunes! Shakira reminds me of summer 2002, right before I started to get to know Rocio, and also as we first started chatting. She was just becoming popular. And I liked her back then, too!
So, it's Thursday night and I have a nice three day weekend ahead of me that I am actually VERY excited about! Although my new job is Monday through Friday, I did have to work this past Sunday for my old job. So, since I'm not allowed to go over 40 hours, I had to only work Monday through Thursday, which I am NOT upset about in the least!
My parents are going to Foxwoods tomorrow, which means that I actually have the day to myself. I do, however, have a LOT of errands to run! I have to go buy some new clothes (my clothes are TOO big for me, now!). I have to go to the bank, I have to get a haircut, I have to do a bit of grocery shopping, and I have to go baby shopping for my friend Lenae!
You see, I have worked with Lenae for a long time now. She started back when I first was at my Target, before I moved to South Dakota. When I moved back, she was getting ready to switch to overnights, but I still saw her every day since I started working at 6. Anyway, Lenae is pregnant, and she's moving down to North Carolina to be near the rest of her family. She's due in just 8 weeks or so.
ANYWAY, Christine, my old team lead (in-stock team manager) is having a get-together at her house on Sunday for Lenae, since Lenae leaves on Monday. And although Target has a rule about team leads fraternizing with Level Ones (which I used to be), since I'm not a specialist (Level Two), she invited me! It's a bunch of us from work, plus Lenae's mom and sister. It's gonna be so fun, and it's so awesome to be invited, ya know?
So, tomorrow I'm gonna go get her a present from her registry.
I'm telling you, my life is starting to feel really good again. Like, I haven't felt this good since last June, before the break-up! Once I figured out my school stuff, I knew things would feel better. But then the promotion just made things really great. It's gotten to the point where I don't really even feel bad about not having anyone to share my life with at this moment. I mean, sure I'd love to find someone. But I don't get depressed about it, which is wonderful!
Rocio just IMd me. I haven't talked to her since the beginning of June or so. So, nearly two months. But I was actually thinking about e-mailing her, seeing how things are going anyway. So we chatted, and it went just fine. You see, I needed to get to this kinda point in my life where I'm feeling good. I had to get my life settled and together before I could talk to her, ya know? But yeah, I feel great about things, so it worked out well.
:-D
Anyway, although I worked at 6 this morning and didn't sleep a lot last night, I don't know if I'll get to bed early tonight. I mean, I want to, but whenever I'm excited about something going on the next day, it's hard for me to fall asleep!
I'll post another time about my new job. Right now I'm thirsty, so I think I'm gonna go made some sugar-free Kool-Aid!
-Anthony
I'll tell you, this summer has been very, very good to me. I'm about ten weeks into my sixteen week break, and I really can't complain. I mean, there have been a few bumps in the road, of course. The whole not getting into Stony Brook thing was tough. But honestly, that old saying that when one door closes, another opens is very true. I mean, I've been looking at other schools, and I really like what I've been seeing. I really needed a change. I mean, it'd be nice to be at Stony Brook because Andrew is there, but having gone there for the equivalent of five years between undergrad and this past semester, I would like to see what it's like somewhere else. I loved USD, and I do hope to love where I go next . . .which'll probably be Adelphi.
Yep, I'm meeting with people at C.W. Post and Adelphi on Wednesday. Post at 11am, Adelphi at 6pm. So I'll kill the hours in between at the Roosevelt Field mall and the movies and whatnot. I'll get by :-) And hopefully by the end of that, I'll know what's going to be going on for the fall more definitely. Right now I'm leaning towards Adelphi, but we'll see what happens on Wednesday.
Other than that, things have still been going great. Especially work. I've always loved working at Target, but ever since Bob asked me to join the in-stock team, I've been feeling even better about things. In fact, this hasn't been officially announced yet at work, but I'll post it here. I got a promotion today! Bob (he's my boss . . . the number two guy in the store) took me aside and asked me if I'd be interested in being the signing specialist. The way target works for hourly people (non-executive store managers) is by levels.
Level One: what I've been for the past three years. cashier, salesfloor, backroom, etc.
Level Two: Specialist - What I'm going to be now. It's a step up, but not quite a manager
Level Three: Team Leader (aka manager for certain area)
So yeah, I'll be a level two. Right now it's just a temporary thing because our signing specialist is pregnant. But she's really early on, less than two months along, and she already has a note from her doctor that says she can't do her job, since there's a lot of lifting and climbing. So, for at least the next seven months, plus however long she's gone for maternity leave I'll be the specialist. And he made it seem like it might not be as temporary as it may seem.
So that's really exciting. I'll get a raise, too! So, yeah. I feel really good about things right now, honestly :-)
And James and I are seeing DMB in just over two weeks!
And then again in September in Atlanta, remember!?!?
YAY!!!
Okay, more later!
-Anthony
I've been meaning to post for a while, but things have been coming up and making it hard for me to get online. And that's okay.
Work's been going really well. I really enjoy my job, as I new that I would when I decided to leap from the service desk to the in-stock team. I still see my old buddies from the front end while I'm at work, and chat and have a good time. But I really like the people I work with right now (all four of them, hehe), and that makes things even better.
I know that my blog has always had a somber tone to it, especially in the past few months, but I hope that that kinda goes away for the next twelve or thirteen weeks. This summer's gonna be pretty good, as I said in a previous post. And yeah, I do still wish that I had someone special to share my time with, but right now it's not eating away at me. That could change at any time, of course . . . especially if I find someone that I wish I could spend time with or something. But for now, I'm okay with just trying to see what happens naturally. I have been more and more social since I started working more hours, and that helps me not feel so lonely. Along with hanging out with friends on my mid-week weekend, it all gets me through okay. And the anticipation of DMB in Hartford and Atlanta definitely helps me too.
So yeah, just waned you all to know that things are okay :-)
How about some music?!
(Now playing: Old 97's - Question)
This is a nice, sweet song. It was plsyed during season two of Scrubs when Turn proposed to Carla. It was sweet :-) I like the Old 97's. I think I've heard them described as Alt-Country, which really makes me laugh, since I didn't know that there was such a categorization. But it kinda makes sense.
I enjoy music very much, as I'm sure you all know. I hate that sometimes it can bring me down pretty quickly, ya know? But then there's always the possibility that the next song can bring me right back up :-)
(Now playing: Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With the Arab Strap)
This song is so upbeat, musically. At the same time, the vocals are less upbeat, so it's kinda a mixed song. But I like it gets my head bobbing to the beat, and then a smile pops onto my face. Can't complain about that, eh?
This has nothing to do with music, but I was just thinking about how much more comfortable I am at the Target I work at now than I ever was in the Sioux Falls Target. Now, I really enjoyed working there, and the people were mostly great, and whatnot. But I never actually looked forward to going to work there. I do now. And that's a huge difference. I was looking at my old Scrapbook that Chrissy made me before I left here for SD. And I was thinking about how I only spent 10 months here before going to that Target. And in those 10 months I was one of the most fun people in the entire store. Like, seriously, I was soooo fun. And that was me, that was the real Anthony. And in SD, I never felt like I could be like that at work. I'm sure Rocio could attest to the fact that I was like that at home and when we were hanging out, but when I was at work, I never felt comfortable, even though I spent 20 months at that Target (double the time!). But yeah, now that I'm back, it's like I never left.
That's one of the biggest things that makes me so happy to be home. It's really like I never left. I always see people that I love working with, people like working with me, people know that I'm the fun person . . . just good times, really.
I'm just saying, I like it at T-1191, South Setauket Target!
(Now playing: R.E.M. - Bad Day)
I haven't listened to R.E.M. in a long time. I used to really enjoy their music. I should try to dig out some of my old R.E.M. CDs, or get some new ones. They remind me of junior high, but not in a bad way. Just one of those things
Listen, I'm super-tired, though. So I think I'm gonna hit the hay, unbelievably. I know, it's early but hey, that's what happens when you're on the Outs team!

I'm very excited for today and tomorrow. Today, Pete is coming to pick me up (my car is getting the A/C fixed) and we're going to lunch. Tonight I'm going to the Mets game with my brother, sister, and brother-in-law! And tomorrow I'm grabbing lunch with James.
I was worried, initially, that having two days in a row off will be lonely and depressing, since I really am mostly social at work. But if I can get things to work out like this most weeks, I think it's gonna be a great summer :-)
Also, I'm very very excited because I finally installed Yahoo Widgets, and am loving them. I wasn't a fan of the Google desk toolbar thing, but the widgets are amazing. My desktop is covered with various items to help me out. I'll take a screenshot later and show y'all my widgets!
Yay!
Okay, more later.
