Well, now that the traffic from that retarded Survivorcam site has stopped, I guess I will start posting again. Not that they caused me to stop really. I have been sickly for some of last week and so far all of this week. I have this horrid cough that keeps me up all night, even after taking Green Death NyQuil before bed.

So lets see, what has happened that I need to catch up on...

Last weekend we went out with Dan and Bryan. We went to Jillian's for a little bit but got bored. So we headed off to Alki beach for some dinner at the Lighthouse Grill. After that we hit the Starbucks for some coffee and drank it down by the water. I think we ended up sitting there for 2.5 hours talking. It was nice until this Lincoln Navigator Limo thing pulled up and about 30 teenagers got out and started attracting attention. I saw a couple of them run down to the water and start pissing into the bay. What fucking nerve do you need to have to pee in public? So then 5 or so more guys starting peeing in the grass up by the limo. I was tempted to call the cops. Dan was making all kinds of jokes about how it was the "Seattle Pee Tour" and all the do is drive around to local landmarks and pee on them. Too funny.

I didn't work on Monday or (most of) Tuesday this week. My cough was kicking my ass all night and I think I maybe got all of 4 hours sleep in those 2 nights. Erin finally convinced me to get something to help me sleep. So I bought some TheraFlu and some NyQuil. I tried the TheraFlu the first night, and I did sleep. It tasted like total crap though, and the next morning I woke up with the feeling that someone had squeezed a rotten lemon into the back of my throat. Yucky. So the next night I went with the NyQuil. No nasty taste in my mouth the next morning, however I felt like I had a hangover for the better part of the morning.

Wednesday night Erin and I went and saw Douglas Coupland at the Elliot Bay Book Store downtown. I have only read one of his books, but I found him to be a very interesting person. He was funny but really scattered. The signs of a true genius. Before that started, Erin and I were out in SouthCenter at the Bed Bath and Beyond looking for a good pot in which to make Chai. We ended up getting this really nice 10 peice set for only $49.99. So we threw away all the crappy cookware we were using. Erin made a comment that us going into a kitchenware store is not a safe thing when we are watching our spending habits. So on our way home, Jish calls to inform us he is in town. Cool, so we go to the reading and then meet Jish for drinks after. We talked with Jish for a few hours and then headed home for the evening.

Yesterday, the lot of us got together at Jillians for some pool. I wasn't playing very well until I was playing against Zannah. You see, she is a better then the rest of us. She even has her own pool cue. So I was ready to lose the game. However, I cleaned up about halfway through the game and ended up winning in the end. So we dubbed my cue the "Zannah Slayer." After we got tired of pool we headed over to this family style Italian place for some food. It was very loud but isn't that how an Italian joint is supposed to be?

Quite the week it has been so far, lots of ups and downs. We should be finishing up Erin's paperwork this weekend (I promise this time) and get that sent off on Monday. I want to get it over so we don't have to worry about it anymore. And maybe once we both have jobs I can try and finance that green New Beetle I have been wanting. :)
