Absolutely nothing new to say

I know there's been tons going on in my life, but to be honest, I've been tired and a little stressed lately. When it comes time to write a post to my blog, I just can't seem to mete it out.

I do have a friend from school coming up to the area next weekend. It'll be nice to see him, haven't seen him in a couple years. I need to do a better job of keeping in touch with all my friends. But you all know that.

I still don't really know what my plans are for the end of year holidays (other than getting away from work for a couple weeks). I've only been working since mid-August, but with the deadlines hitting me, I know I'll need the break.

Well the girlfriend just showed up, so I'm gonna use that as an excuse to leave the post for another time.

I'm still alive

but have had absolutely no time to post. So what have I been up to since last I posted that's been keeping me so busy? Spending inordinate amounts of time with the mysterious "chica" that I mentioned once in a post, oh about a month ago. And I've been loving every bit of it. We've got quite a bit in common, yet we're also quite a bit different. It works out well. Oh yeah, she's Seattle born and bred, so she's my acting tour guide as well. :)

Also been pretty busy with work. Deadlines, deadlines...

I did end up making it up to Vancouver the first weekend I had my car. That was fun. Lot's of good food and drink. Although, if you are ever in Vancouver don't go to Grouse mountain! It was recommended to me by a co-worker and it was definitely not worth the $25 canadian to ride the Gondola up and down the mountain. At the top, there was no view becaue it was overcast. It was also quite cold. There were a couple caged bears and timber wolves, but other than that (and a tasty treat called a beaver tail) there was nothing at the top. To top it off, they were doing "annual maintenance" on the main gondola and the wait to go back down the mountain was like 3 hours long! But enough of my ranting. Overall, it was a great trip.

My friend Elfred also visited this weekend. Didn't spend a whole lot of time with him, but I'm sure I'll be seeing him somewhat frequently considering he's back together with his girlfriend who is also a 'softie. We were going to try to get together with our friend Ron, who just moved to Wa this weekend, while he was here but it didn't quite work out. Cest la vie (or however you spell it).

Well, I'm gonna get going. Just got my internet connection recently. DSL. Gonna get static IPs. Hopefully this site will soon be hosted from my apartment. We'll see.

P.S. Mike, if you read this. Your check is written and in an envelope. I just need to get a stamp to throw on it and send it off. Sorry about being so lazy.
