I have some important news that I've been holding from you all.
I moved out of my original Dallas Living Situation (DLS) with the fantastic family that cared for me as if I was their own, and moved into a new place with three roommates. The current DLS has disadvantages, namely:
-Rent
-Utility bills
-Responsibility
-No kids running around, keeping me on my toes and limiting the amount of bad words I say on any given day
...but there are advantages too:
-I now live a 10 minute bike ride from work
-I am walking distance from two bars (one is good, the other one is okay)
-I live with three cool ass people
-I can swear
-I can run around in my boxer shorts
-I can have company over, and even overnight guests
So while I'll miss the family, I am happy to be free. I still visit them at least once a week, and it rocks.
So there's that. I'll try and get a video tour of the house put together for next time.
NEXT!
Halloween is coming up. I love Halloween. I'm trying to get the male Roomies to do a group costume thing like Nick, Jason and I did two years back when we all went as Michael Jackson:
As for the new Roomies, well, let me show you the new Roomies. This is a picture from New Years Eve, before I was living with them. I showed up at a "Dress to Impress" New Years Ball in my favorite robe. I knew they were cool when Daniel rolled out in a tuxedo t-shirt:
So given our various heights and hair colors, I thought we'd be perfect as:
I even showed them as much with the photoshopped picture below. I'll keep you posted if that's the route we go.
NEXT!
Okay, almost done. Two more things. I AM COMING TO SAN DIEGO ON OCTOBER 23RD!!!!!
Here's what we know so far:
Thursday
-Arrive in San diego 10:30am, hopefully already drunk.
-Maybe happy hour at the Prado (I gotta get it out of the way)
-Dinner at the Turf Club?
Friday
-Breakfast at Hash House?
-Beach (Weather permitting)
-Drive to LA
-Knott's Berry Farm Halloween Haunt. This will be the 9th annual. You are welcome to go. As it stands, we have at least 8 people on board so far, probably more. We have hotel rooms. If you want to go, let me know, I'll get you the details. It is always a booze and drug-fueled fun-fest. This is one of my favorite things ever, and if you want to come I'd love to have you with me.
Saturday
-Wake up in LA, maybe sightsee a little bit
-Drive back to SD
-Beach (Weather permitting)
-Drink ourselves stupid. If anyone knows of a Halloween party on this night, I'd appreciate a heads up! Otherwise, pub crawl!!
Sunday
-Bluegrass Brunch at Urban Solace
-Beach (Weather permitting)
-Fly back to Dallas
...won't you join us? New Roomie Daniel is coming, and there are serious rumors that Old Roomies Nick and Jason are coming out from Minneapolis and Omaha, respectively.
See you soon, San Diego!!!
NEXT! LAST!!
I'm growing my winter coat. Haven't cut my hair in a while, and am attempting to grow facial hair like I do once a year.
It's pretty patchy (the facial hair) but I'm not giving up! This is one of the benefits of having a job that is done entirely over the phone. I can look/smell like hell and no one will ever know except my co-workers, and who gives a shit what they think?! Sweet!
Well, as I'm looking proudly at my tufty facial hair, which could be put to shame by any 13-year-old whose testicles have dropped, I get a text from Nick in Minneapolis. He's growing his hair out, too.
Holy shit, Nick. THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME!!! You're making me look bad, but I don't mind. I don't mind one bit.
See you in two weeks, San Diego!!
Until Next Time...
