Oh! Whoops.

Yeah, please excuse the lack of updating. I've been busy with enjoying my Summer vacation, trying to spend less and less time on the computer as possible. Right now, that's not really working in my favor. But, a lot has happened over the past week or so.

I'm in the middle of a book called "All Families Are Psychotic" by Doug Coupland; I'm really digging it. I stumbled across it in Half Price Books last week. When I opened it up, an old newspaper article fell out of it. Turns out it was a review of the book. On the opposite side, there was a small bit about the Arizona Diamondbacks winning the World Series. "Shiiit," I thought. I must say he's kinda like the Canadian Chuck Palahniuk, but not as sadistic. Speaking of Palahniuk I finished his newest novel, "Pygmy." It was loads better than "Snuff" but to be fair, anything is probably a lot better than "Snuff." I'll still take "Fight Club" or "Invisible Monsters" any day. I seem to have fallen in love with my "" keys.

Nadia and I caught a Cubs game on Wednesday, in which there were a total of 3 (!!!) rain delays. The 2nd rain delay was 4 minutes long. I lol'ed in my seat. Before the game, she showed me around the entire ballpark, including the bleachers and the office where all the workers clock in and whatnot. I even got to the brick wall during batting practice, thanks to her sister working that area for the day. Rich Harden looked at me, and I fell somewhat faint. It was a pretty sweet experience; I hope to go to the Confines a lot more this summer.

Also, Ate Jen graduated from college last week. I was her photographer during the ceremony; Mom was in tears and Dad was smiling the entire time. It was just....awesome to witness. Seeing my big sis (and Jason) and all the other graduates gave me some extra motivation to kick ass for my last year.

Dad's in the Philippines. Again. He left the day after Ate Jen's graduation. He'll be back the day before my 21st birthday...hopefully he can get me into the boat and we can win some serious moolah on the Blackjack tables. Oh my God, I'm turning 21 soon.

Saturday night marked the first Sally's visit of many over the summer. McMano and Dave and I all swapped stories, and talked about music. We usually do that. We also agreed to make a summer band, along with Walt. 1 Dude, 2 Spics, and a Mick: one working band name.

I'm signing off; gonna read outside.
