Incite Full

I got back from Europe Tuesday night, and it seems ever since then i’ve been living at speeds in excess of light. The two days of work saw me catching up on emails, computers going down, and me giving demos to the big wigs. Actually, there were no big wigs, and the work was pretty simple, but I’m still adjusting. The worst part of coming back from the trip was the sleep schedule. Jet lag, as it’s called, sucks a lot. I’d get tired at 7 and wake up around 4 or 5 am.

But i’m back to normal now, so i’m hoping that everything from ehre on out will be smooth sailing. A lot of good things have been going on recently, and i’m having a blast. Always sunny started up and i’ve caught up on the first four episodes which were side-splittingly entertaining. I think Dan also is coming around to the show, which is good because now he’ll be quoting it with us. Hopefully.

Tonight Dexter start season 3. Im pretty excited for this also, as it was a really dark but humorous show- something that doesn’t happen on TV too often.

I have a ton of stuff i want to be writing here right now, but after telling all of my stories to people and writing it all in my journal, i just can’t bring myself to write about it all. I’ll probably write it down somewhere on here eventually, but I just can’t seem to bring myself to write it. Such is the life of the eternally tired me.

Weak entry today. I’ll write more later…

The beginning line to this is “It’s been a long time…,” and while it really hasn’t been a long time, there is a lot that’s been going on, some more interesting than others. Pearl Jam’s “Alive” just came on my ipod, and that’s a perfect song for me right now.

Big news, I am going to Europe. Steph is really the one behind this, and i’m very thankful that she’s pushing me to go. I didn’t really need a push, just an excuse. And now i’ve got one- cheap tickets! We’ll be hitting up Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands in a clockwise trip of awesomeness, discovery, and culture. I’m very excited for this, minus one thing: THE GAME! While the Ohio State Buckeyes are battling the Trojans of Southern California, I will probably be on a train heading for Luxembourg where the word football means something completely and horrifically different. I just hope to God almighty that they have a USA today or an American newspaper- does the WSJ have a sports Section?

I guess I can miss one of the biggest games of the regular season for this… but I am not going to pretend to be happy about it, no not at all.

I went out Friday night, expecting to go bowling. Even had my shoes in hand. Then I didn’t get to go. I was sad, but ended up playing some pool and hanging out at Starbucks until way to late. Every time a large faceless corporation treats me well, it makes me want their product. And I know this product is an Americano. Interestingly enough, when I asked the girl I was with if she had ever had one- she asked if I was being sexual or not. Normally I am, but not this time. It’s just delicious (all .4 oz i’ve had of one).

My writing class is interesting- I learned two techniques the other day called bricolage and Galumphing. Both are useful at times, I suppose, but I didn’t find them to difficult or useful at present. I guess the creative part of writing is not the difficulty for me- it’s the actual act of writing it all out. It takes a lot of energy and concentration and that’s been hard to come by lately. I’m not sleeping very well or often, but that’s more a choice from lifestyle than a complaint.

Lastly, I suppose, I hung out with Kev and some of his friends at the Cubs-Dodger game yesterday. It was the all you can eat pavilion, and Lets jsut say we got our money’s worth. I don’t think people understand that we see his as a challenge. Free Dodgerdogs? I’ll have 5. Nachos too, please. It’s just how we operate as filthy Americans. And by Filthy, yes, I mean fat. The Cubs ended up winning, which made Kevin happy and I was ok with it, although the Cubs losing would be better for the Brewers. Speaking of, I want a brewers hat. If anyone loves me enough to get me one, that’d be great.

There is much more to say, but i’m going to end it here. my 15 minute break is up… And that’s just silly.
