"Who the fuck is Forgetful Jones?"
Dear Blog
Dear Blog,

Today I got my first zit. It's just below my ear and is shaped sort of like a pumpkin that has fallen from a great height. If smaller zits rise up around it, then it will appear as if the pumpkin's seeds have scattered upon impact.

Dear Blog,

What is going on? I will give you the answer. The answer: nothing. No posts since, what, Thursday? I thought with Dave back in Iowa, this place would be as bustling and excitable as an injured grandmother trying to crawl through a mess of fire ants.

As many of you know, I am right now--at this very moment!--in Minneapolis. Next weekend Sarah's leaving for LA, to stay for a while with someone we knew in college (Andrea, or, Banandrea), so I've been here a while (since Saturday). As soon as it opens at ten, I'm going to check out this wonderful used bookstore. Well, never mind. I don't know how to do links on Sarah's computer. For some reason, the little linky button is gone. But rest assured, the bookstore's great. Great.

While here, I've managed to fall asleep every night at midnight and wake up everyday at eight o'clock. Yes, it seems un-sane. Yes, it is amazing. But now that it happens, I'm sort of frustrated, because here are my top two considerations for summer job, assuming I ever actually get one:

1) Package Handler, UPS. 3:30 - 8:30 AM, M-F. Benefits: decent pay, not a full-time commitment, dedicated termination date in early September. Pitfalls: weird fucking time. Do I sleep before, or after? Do I bring food? And what the hell do you wear as a package handler? Also: not much income, basically just enough to cover rent and buy a couple malted milks down at the shake shop.

2) Night Auditor, Shady Local Hotel, midnight (?) - 8 AM. Benefits: decent pay, full-time paychecks, bizarre hours in the dead of night when the only customers will be zombies, the undead, and roving serial killers. Pitfalls: Again, when do I sleep?

It is confusing. But: ah well. I plan to return to Ames late tonight or at a decent time tomorrow, hooray. I have questions for Dave. These questions: are your Colorado minions going first to Albia, or directly to Des Moines? Or: to some other strange location? Also, how was Rominger when you saw him? He's sending me strange, enigmatic emails.

This post has gone on too long, and obviously I am bored while Sarah is at work.

Regarding Denver
As many of you know I am going ot Denver on 02AUG07 and returning on 05AUG07. I will be purchasing tickets on Monday, June 5th. If you would like to go with me I will get the tickets but I need the money in advance, aprox. $350. That is all.

Discharge
As of May 29, 2007, I am offical discharge. Well, actually, officially discharged and honorably from the US Army. Whoohoo! It is a large and heavy burden off me. Here is the paperwork proving it.

Ah damn it. Yeah. They gave me a certificate. My scanner has caught the gays. But this picture makes me laugh. A lot.

Anaheim
So I'm sitting in the lobby of my hotel in Anaheim. would people prefer baked chicken or spaghetti on friday? Maybe we'll do a combo of both. Let me know.
will this mean drug tests for cats?
Tim, here's something to think about for the next cat review:

Kit-ten crack


Weekly Food Outing Thing: An Opinion
Well, as much of an opinion as I ever have. Earlier in the week would be cool, but if we can only plan it for friday, but I won't argue if Friday's the only day we can plan it.

Been awhile
Man my week has been full. With work on the weekends and just random crap keeping me busy all week, this post is the only time I've been able to catch up. Next week is more of the same. Tim's links to the bad movies led me to this. Anyone else seen this stuff? It puts pop rocks to shame.

Tim: Did you forget we rented that crappy movie one time years ago. And you liked it. Also rented number's 3 and 4.

And I put in the name Robert Bork into Google Images and got this:





I'd love to see a cat review where Tim cuts out this picture and wears it like a mask during the next review. Happy Happy Birthday to You Dave. This year I'm giving you:

WHALE SASHIMI!!!

ENJOY

Several Quick Bulletins
Coincidentally, I also tried out Mario Party 8. I foolishly elected to use Dry Bones over Peach, but was able to uphold my title of Northeast Iowa Mario Party Champion, by beating Sarah, her brother, and the computerized Waluigi for the 1,000th time.

David Patrick Wells, happy birthday. I hope you're hitting your wine/rockstar cocktail hard tonight.

I totally encourage video of Kenny on youtube.

Monday night I'm still going to be out of town--at least until late--and also Thursday, so I endorse the Friday-night-as-dinner idea.

That cat study looks great.
HOLD ON TO YOUR GRANDMAS!
Mario Party 8 is completely ridiculous. At one point, the title of this post was screamed by a Koopa Troopa. That's how ridiculous it is! It also has a new vampire transformation/power up. As you might imagine, Vampire Princess Peach is disturbingly hot. I probably won't get to play it much anymore, as Kenny was up visiting and we made him buy it, and who knows when he'll be up here again.

Speaking of Kenny being up here, we ought to involve him a little bit more in things. Specifically what I was thinking was that he could coordinate with Amish a little bit and maybe some carpoolin' action could start happening. Unfortunately, Ken seems a smidge afraid of Amish and doesn't really know him well enough to start opening up dialogue with him about riding in his car for that long. The words "Amish" and "action" in the same sentence probably didn't help things.

However, he was talking about how he signed up for YouTube, and due to how much we love his podcasts, he may open up his own YT channel and do some videos(!!!). All I can say is, Kenny + Video = Comedy Gold. I'll keep you updated on this exciting development in the hilarity department, unless he figured out how to sign into blogger with his Google account and keeps you updated himself!

Also, Wesley was inquiring about eating this week. Unfortunately, this week is kind of a bitch for me. I have a regular day Monday, so that's cool, but I work evenings Tuesday-Thursday. On Wednesday, however, I don't start 'til 8 so if we do something early enough that could work. I also have Friday off, which is when the Kevin thing is happening I guess? Are we going to count that as the evening this week? I'm not sure what's happening! Halp!

Finally, in cat related news, here's a (fake) study you all (Tim) might find interesting (funny).

My place Friday
Friday night as I've said before Shannon and I will be cooking food for whomever wants to come over. If you need directions to my place call Tim or Myself. I will be in California tommorow through Thursday so I might have limited internet access but you can call me 799-6269. I really hope I don't have to regret posting that on a public forum. Anywho just let me know if you're going to show up.
