Holiday I hope you all had a wonderful Sanctity of Human Life Day yesterday. I know I sure did. *end sarcasm* Now, we can all get back to celebrating a REAL holiday... and reflect on all the important things Martin Luther King, Jr. accomplished and said. And without further ado... *ahem* My weekend... Finally making my house a home The only goal I had this weekend was to buy a futon. I have a spare room which I wanted to turn into a cozy little reading room and place for overnight guests. (My mom might be coming for a visit next week.) I shopped with Lori (Saturday) and Cheri (Sunday). But, as I didn't find the perfect futon, I ended up with... A coatrack... Instead of living like an animal and throwing my coat down on the first open space I see in my apartment, I now have a coatrack. This is a big deal because its the one thing that I have wanted since the day I moved into my apartment (a year-and-a-half ago). I had even bought some single hooks and a peice of wood in hopes of making my own that I could paint and hang on the wall. I didn't get around to that... so, enter the freestanding, contemporary-looking coatrack from Target. A DVD player with a surround-sound home theater system... I was the first person I knew to have an MP3 player, the second to have a handspring visor, I had a tangerine apple ibook when they first came out... but until Saturday I still didn't have a DVD player. Frankly, I was sick of taking shit for it, and it was on sale. I got that home and got it all hooked up only to find that my VCR and my TV are both so old they don't have white and red audio jacks on them. Ugh. That will probably take me months to figure out how to get all that working. In the meantime I'll only have surround sound with any DVD I watch... I currently only own one... Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Out on the town Friday night I went out to Common Ground... boring. Saturday night I went out with Josh, Jon and Juan to Angles in Elmira. I love hanging out with Josh and Jon, so that was a real treat to get to spend some time with them. Angles was pretty lame. The music was phenomenal, but other than that, the place is a real dump. I'm glad I went, if only to remind me why I DON'T go. I hadn't been out there for about two years... it hadn't changed a bit and hardly any of the faces changed. This just goes to support my theory that Elmira is a black hole... only the very strongest survive and escape its death grip. Harlem Pin Divas In some miraculous turn of events, our bowling team was ranked #8 this week. This won't last long because we won only 1 of 4 points yesterday. And the teams below us only lagged by one or two points total. So I predict next week we'll slide back down to #10... I, however, had a pretty good day. I bowled above my average, with two 140-something games out of three. Yahoo! Donor profiles Yesterday, Cheri and I stopped off at her place before going futon shopping. She's currently in the process of trying to have a baby and is choosing a sperm donor. I was mad curious about the process and so I wanted to take a look and see what kind of information you could possibly get from a profile about potential fathers for your children. I am happy to report that I have found THE father for Cheri's baby. He is of German descent, is 6'0", has blonde hair, blue eyes. He's a PhD who went to MIT, plays soccer, drinks beer rarely, doesn't smoke, and his note to the recipient of his sperm was, 'Read The Road Less Traveled as though I had written it for you.' I was reading his profile and my heart skipped a beat. I may be projecting... maybe I read his donor profile a little bit too much like a personal ad and I just want to date this guy... Now, I'm pressuring Cheri to get his extended profile, audio interview, and baby pictures (if they're available) so that we can see what this guy really has to offer. | private feedback | |
