Catching up
I have been meaning to write something for a week or two, but I haven’t had a whole lot to say.
Things that have happened as of recently
– I cut my hair.
Karolina came over Sunday night to work on a project (more on that later), and I had her bring the mohawk back. I was in the newsroom today when Lola came rolled in, and the first words out of her mouth was “Looks like Spring is here.” And that is pretty much true, I tend to cut my hair with the change of seasons.
Told my mother about the hair cut, well I actually sent her a picture, and she called it goofy. Whatever mom!
– I drove 666.0 miles to and from Nashville.
It sucked because we left at 2:30am on Friday, and I drove through on about 45 minutes of sleep since i woke up at 9:11am on Thursday morning. No biggie, I only almost drove off the road 10 times while the other passengers slept.
After I shot the OVC semi-finals, we grabbed some BK and 40’s of Colt and headed to the hotel. I ended up passing out around 1:30am after a good long talk with Bruce. The other weak-asses fell asleep somewhere around 11pm after drink a beer or two. 120 ounces of malt liquor is ALWAYS a good choice.
– I watched the women’s basketball team lose the OVC championship game.
Double overtime. It sucked. I started at EIU with the seniors, and have covered them for the past 4 years. I really enjoyed covering them all year.
–Got pulled over by a cop.
41 in a 30 in Martinsville. The cop wrote me a warning, I believe, truely, because of my veteran’s plates.
–Finally made a cast of my head.
I have been working hard on an idea for xmas gifts for my family. It will be awesome, and step one is complete.
–Planned spring break.
2,408 miles with 1 day and 17 hours of drive time according to google maps. I will be visiting the “B’s.”
First, Ben in PA. Then Bruce in NH, and finally Brian in VA. All old army buddies, and I am truely looking forward to seeing everyone.
–Missing Bentley.
I only just realized how much I miss that bastard. I miss him being all excited to see me when I get home, and how I always have to shoo him from my side of the bed when I go to bed. Oh well, I will have him back after break.
–My camera broke.
err 99 and the shutter will not stop firing. Not good. What really sucks is that I had just sent it in back in the fall. If I spend as much on getting it fixed this time as I did then, I will have spent more to keep it working than it is worth.
I am having to decide whether or not I want to just trash it, and buy a new one (read: take out a student loan).
I know I can get an xti or another 30d for what I would have spent on fixing it OR I could take out the loan and but a 5d Mark II. Kind of having to decide if I am serious about not using photography as anything more than a hobby.
I just do not know what to do.
what else?
oh yeah!
– Got revenge.
So as many people know, I had been having a long on-again-of-again relationship with a certain “ole girl.” It hasn’t been a good relationship for, well, since like month 2.
Well, upon returning from Nashville, I heard from her. She wanted to come over. She did, and things took their normal course with us. Well, while sharing some pillow talk, I told her that I wanted to send a text to her “boyfriend” from her phone saying that it was eric, and then to proceed to share with him the general details of the course fo the night. Just to let him know the type of woman that he was dating. I hadn’t, but I told her that I wanted to.
Upon arriving back at her place, she sent me a text asking whether or not I sent that text. I think I may have over-estimated her intelligence and I told her I had. The thing was, we were apart for approximately 10 seconds the entire time she was at my place, definately not near the required amount of time needed to A. find her phone, B. Learn how to send a text, and C. send a text to her man.
Well, she believed me.
She wont share details (all I get in return when I inquire about what happened is “Stay out of my life”), but here is what I think happened…
I think she attempted to do some damage control, by texting him at approximately 5am (after she probably told him that she was going to bed around 1) saying that the text wasn’t true and that someone was messing around on her phone.
I don’t know, but I do know that she had told him the previous day that she kissed some dude Friday night.
She is quite the scandal sometimes. I am just glad that I am no longer on the receiving end of her drama.
