Older

Technically my birthday has passed, but since I haven't gone to bed yet, this day is not over. I just played a couple hours worth of Day of Defeat with my best friend Dan. He lives in Montana. Today, I slept in till 10 and when I went downstairs I found a huge puddle of water. Our landlord had been watering the grass and the faucet was leaking back inside the building and into our apartment. So I had to get a Shop-Vac and clean it up before going to lunch. It was a very hot day (93*) and I didn't get to eat till 1400. I had a steak and waffle fries at Mikey's, also a salad and apple pie a la mode for dessert. Then to the grocery store for some foodstuffs. Then some errands and home to put the groceries away. Supper was at the in-laws and was good. I scored $30 and a Napoleon Dynamite soundbyte keychain for my birthday so far. I talked to Viktoria on the phone and went to elyse's cousin's to look at his PC which was in a terrible state. When I got home I found my dad had called, so I called hime back and we had a nice chat. The events above are not necessarily in chronological order.

I haven't reflected much on the issue of my getting older; I really feel about the same. I tend to think in terms of seasons -chunks of time- that pass with gradual change until you look back and notice a greater change and marked stages in your life. Chapters, my friend Dan calls them. I'm still writing the current one I think.

Good Night
