[theinevitable]

right now my parents are in Europe for their 25th anniversary. Umm, I am basically hanging out here and working. Went to the beach for several days with some guys, that was nice-- private community, long beach walks discussing silly deep things, some drinking, won 5 dollars in poker. My best friend, who goes to the Air Force Academy, is here right now-- but he's only in Charlotte for another week before going back (or rather, going to an Air Force Base in Nevada for training stuff.) Once he leaves I'll be stuck between two groups of friends-- one that basically just smokes pot 24/7, and one that is a bunch of Drama Kids, basically really lame, spoiled, silly, petty people. So.

If I don't have work, which is a distinct possibility with the weird random days off I'm getting lately, I might go to the beach with my friend and his family this week, just for a few days. Later on this summer, I am driving up to Williamsburg to visit a girl who is awesome that I haven't seen in 2 years. I also may go up to DC, as a good friend of mine from High School is doing an internship up there, and 3 or 4 of my friends from St Louis live there.

But mostly, playing Rise of Nations with my brother, posting on TOUAMB, playing guitar, making burritos.

PS I am going to try really hard to go see SLINT up in Chapel Hill at the end of the month.

Probably nothing. Maybe the nude beach.

I got nothin'. The good part about funemployment is sleeping in late and staying up late on the internets. The bad part is that you never have any money. Maybe next February I'll go someplace tropical, maybe get certified to dive, maybe learn how to surf. Barring that, I might go to Alaska and take the ferry around, which is the poor man's cruise. I could get certified to dive out there, too.

Basically this is all contingent on me finding a job that allows me a couple weeks' vacation, and the ability to save up for such a vacation.

It's fun to think about and plan.

Dang, I forgot to plan a summer vacation again.

I can never get the Technical Staff to take a summer vacation because he wants to save all his vacation time for cross-country skiing.  I get a weekend at the beach in the spring and one in the fall.  And at this year's spring weekend at the beach, we found out that the inn we stay at is closing down.  Which is a disaster because there are so few places that allow dogs.

So, yeah, I also got nuthin'.

I haven't done much traveling yet, but I've got a week+-trip to California planned: first, to Rowland Heights, to hang out for a weekend with some of my knuckleheads from young times, then taking the train to San Luis Obispo to spend a week with my grandparents in Cambria. I am very much looking forward to sun (especially now that it's monsoon season down here), relaxation, and maybe some elephant seals.

[V-Adore]

Rowland Heights is just up the 57 freeway from me. Want to shank up, errrrr...meet up?

Iunno, man, I have misgivings.

Seriously, though, let me check my schedule. We might be able to work something out.

[wombat]

Don't worry, V.  He won't show up.  But he'll have a really good story about why not.

I am taking a friend who doesn't have a car to California on Aug 1.  We may go early and see Daft Punk at Red Rocks.

This is not really that good a trip though.  I will drive to Boulder in one day, possibly see Daft Punk, definitely stay at a friends house.  That friend will go with to San Fran.  We will hang out for 2-3 days, try and go to San Diego or Seattle or Portland or somewhere cool that we have enough money to get to for a day or two, go back to Boulder for a day or two and then drive home.  I really like road trips so I will love it, but it isn't really a "vacation".  There are no plans/ I will be sleeping in the car/ etc.


I will come back way more worn out than when I left.

If you go to Portland, let me know and I'll check my schedule - maybe we can get loaded.

[KeithHernandez]

It will be between the fourth and sixth of August.  Very short notice, if it happens at all.

That's the middle of my second week of work, unfortunately - maybe next time.

[melack]

Tomorrow I'm going to Seattle for a week. It would be exciting if it wasn't the place I lived for the past 18 years until I moved to California last October. But it should be fun! I'm going camping on the coast with some friends.

[smick]

If you go to Portland, let me know and I'll check my schedule - maybe we can get loaded.

I would put forth that I would show up to such an event and at the very least, stammer a few terse words to the table.

[side_show]

I will look forward to going to the lake, then I will get there and the water will be smelly and I will get all slimy from algae, and then I will be happy to be back home in air conditioned comfort.

Also, maybe some camping.
