Been a pretty slow today. As I noted earlier, Maria went to lunch to Cody and Jesse around 12. Though, as is usually the case, she didn't come back. It's 10:30 now. Although, when she said Cody had to be at work at 3:00 today, leading me to beleive she'd be back before then, I had a feeling that she wouldn't be. Sure enough Jesse IMed me around 3 to let me know she went to the Mall with Cody. I'm going to drive down the street to Chevron in a little while to get something to drink, so I'll probably try to call her then...just to see how her day has gone, and if she knows when she'll be home. I just don't really like going to bed at 3-4 in the morning with her not back yet. She calls me a "baby" when I tell her that. I'd be flattered if she said that to me, lol. But...that's just me. The hopeless romantic =\.

Last night Maria said Cody and Bobbi were coming by today. She didn't say what for...I figured she was just bringing him by to hang out or whatever. I mean, he can't drive anymore, after all. When Jesse and Cody came by to pick her up this morning, Jesse asked me if I was going to be home today, because Bobbi was bringing him to pick up some of his stuff. I told her last night I'd clean up the kitchen and the living room, so I did. I also cleaned our room up a bit as I mentioned earlier, and vacuumed all 3 rooms. I didn't know what time they were coming by, so I went to Wal-Mart for a few things around 4:30 or so. When I got back, they were already here, and had the truck pretty much loaded up with about half of Jesse's stuff. I felt bad I wasn't here to help.

While I was at Wal-Mart I bought Laws of Attraction on DVD for Maria. She wanted to see it really bad when it was in theaters, and I told her we'd go. But I swear, the movie was out for like 2 weeks, max. I never really forgot about it, so when I was glancing through the electronics section and saw it, I figured I'd suprise her with it, as well as a card. I've been getting her alot of cards here lately...cards are nice, lol. I was hoping she'd be home early enough that we could watch it tonight. There's always tomorrow night. Or the next night, lol.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was on Sci-Fi earlier. When she moved in, along with not having seen Star Wars, Maria hadn't seen any of the Indiana Jones movies either. This proved an exciting chance for me, because I (obviously) love the all 3 movies. When Garrett still lived here I borrowed his VHS tapes and had her watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom. He moved out before we ever got to watch The Last Crusade though... Soooo...since I've been waiting for The Last Crusade to come on T.V. again for awhile now, and since she wasn't here for us to watch it together, I fumbled though some blank VHS tapes, scrambled to rewind one in time, and recorded it for us to watch later. Goddamn, I need to get the DVDs...

The Daytona 500 is tomorrow. I'm pretty excited, but aprehensive all at the same time. Dave seemed to have a pretty good car in his Gatorade Duel qualifying race. A good car, that is, until this:







So, Dave has to unload the backup car, and has to start 39th tomorrow. All hope seemed to be lost, until final practice today when he was 8th fastest. In the backup car. And then his crew chief, Phillipe Lopez, updated his column on Dave's site tonight, which seems to indicate the backup car is even better than the primary one. I'm just afraid to get too excited, only to have him caught up in someone else's mess, like in the above pictures on Thursday. I'm going to tape the race incase something good does happen, but if he can just manage a Top 10 I'll be happy.

I have a fever. And the only prescription, is more root beer. Going to the gas station...

"C'mon...get out"

Hiding inside a crowd
My head is inside a cloud
Go where the music's loud
And all these talking heads are
Blurred in violet hues

Another Sunny Day

She doesn't know wrong from right
She doesn't know when to fight
She only knows that tonight there's always someone out there
She'll never be alone

Another Sunny Day
C'mon get out

Get off the bathroom floor
Daddy's not here no more
I'm showing you to the door
Enough of always numb and always insecure

Hiding inside a cloud
Go where the music's loud
My head is inside a crowd
And all this talk of rock-stars really makes me sick

Maria just left with Jesse and Cody to go get some lunch. God, she looks great today...*bites lip*. Granted--she looks good everyday. Just...extra good today. I stayed home (obviously). Initially, I think she thought it was just her and Cody going, and his MR2 is a two-seater. But when he got here he was in his Mom's car and Jesse was with him. So...I guess I could have gone if I had wanted, but no one asked, and I didn't really say anything. I'm not hungry anyway, and we're going over there to hang out tomorrow night. Besides, I had already said I was going to stay here and clean the house up a bit because Jesse and Bobbi are supposed to come by later.

So after I finish this I'm going to straighten and vacuum the kitchen and living room...clean up in here a little and fold some laundry. Then I'm going to excercise and take a shower... I've been trying to exercise more regularly lately in hopes of shaping up some, with marginal success. I still eat way too much crap.

I'm in kind of a "bleh" mood today. No particular reason why...just woke up that way. As such...I think I'll just make another entry in here later, when I'm a little more into it. My brain feels all muddy right now...

Today's gone by entirely too fast... I'm still looking for a job. I believe Blockbuster is going to call me Monday or Tuesday. other than that, I've applied to Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Office Depot, Nintendo (a local merchandising position), Charter, I have an interview at Johnson City Honda on Tuesday and I'm applying at some 'Catalog Overruns' place in Piney tomorrow. Surely one of these places will hire me...

I went to Wal-Mart and applied this afternoon. I don't really want to work there. I don't really think they're going to hire me. But I applied anyway. I'm just in that kind of situation right now. While I was out alone, I did some secret Valentine's Day shopping, which by this point is very secret anymore, I suppose. I'll detail that more tomorrow. Somehow, while I was out, I didn't stop to look at any games or toys...my mind was pretty much focused on the task at hand.

Maria is sick. She's actually been sick for a few days now. With who knows what... Some hybrid of a cold I think. Not the flu, thank goodness. She's mainly had a congested head, sore throat, and bad headaches. She's one of the most stubborn people I've ever seen when it comes to taking medicine... She'll lie around all day, and whine and complain about being sick, and hurting, and being uncomfortable...and the first thing I'll dois either offer her some cold/pain medicine or ask her when she last took some. To which she'll usually reply that she hasn't taken anything besides tylenol and vehemently refuses to do so, even per my request. It's actually very cute. But at the same time, I hate seeing her feel so bad, especially knowing simply taking some medication will make her feel, at the very least, a little bit better.

I've been on this thing all day. Time to head over the couch to pay her some attention now...

Fairly lazy day today. I was supposed to work, but I called in. Again. Maria wasn't very happy with me about this...and for good reason.

Last week I downloaded Kung Fu Hustle, and tonight she is going to watch it with me! I've been reading about the movie for the best part of the last hour and i think its going to be extremely good:


I've probably not done the best job at being a boyfriend the past few months. A few things today reminded me of this... Well, that all changes, starting tonight...

Pretty random update. Perhaps a better one tomorrow?
