NOVA

8:50am CST Tuesday 21 January 2003

Went to Kinko's, got the copies I needed of my passport and printed out my resume. Now I'm at a postal place to ship off my stuff to Nova with overnight delivery. Zooooom!

Been listening to Sam Malone on 104 KRBE. Might call in tomorrow early and tell him I've been on a road trip and going to Japan and see if I can get a hookup on some good stuff. SEEya!

9:09am

Whoooohooooo!!

I have just sent off my documents to Nova with overnight delivery to arrive by 10am tomorrow. FedEX tracking number 838441258096 so I can watch it zoom over.

I asked the cat if they had an option to get it there today. They used to before World Trade Center got hit. It was called Sonic Delivery. For only a few or several hundred dollars, Whooooosh!

Transcribing

1:55pm CST Tuesday 21 January 2003

I have been transcribing some old entries from 1987, when I first started my journal. Interesting to see my use of the word "you" when I meant "people in general." I used the term "messed around" or "messin' around" a lot. And lots of apostrophes instead of writin' a g.

Also interesting to see me as a youth through my stories. Chowing even more ice cream than I do now. Losing clothing and toiletries during a camping trip. Physically stronger than I am now. Some sadness that I haven't kept up that level of physique, but hey whatever. I am who I am.

They haven't been moved online yet, but someday soon they will be.

8:03pm CST Tuesday 21 January 2003

Maggie called at 6:45, fully intending to leave her work by 7pm to get me and have us go visit Jillian's. Oh shit I hope she didn't intend for me to meet her there. I'll call her cellie.

8:07pm

Haha. Just as I was leaving a message she drove up. (I was sitting outside on her driveway)

Pooh. Mags didn't answer cause she was (still is) on the her cellie talking to work. Love and mental hugs to her. She says it should have been so easy (what they're working on). but it's not working.

11:12pm

Maggie ended up on the phone until a bit after 10pm. Melanie and I checked out Jillian's banquet room; talked to the cat who said they could seat 135 people there (but it would be pretty cramped). We scoped some of the games and the left hand Amazon theme token-sucking ticket dispensing game gave me 80 free tickets over the course of the evening. I could just play around with the controller and it gave out 10 tix at a time. I never figured out a pattern more precisely than just wait a minute or 3 and ten more tickets would come out when I messed with the controller.

Got bored, found Maggie still talking outside. Walked to Red Robin to munch. Melanie and I played pog football with the cardboard coasters and ordered food. Flipped a pog to figure out what to order for Maggie.

She came in by the time I was just finishing my veggie burger. We chatted and ate and then I just started playing Silent Football and they played along. Melanie remembered the rules quite well for not having played in a really long time.

Left at 11pm when they closed, grabbed 20 more free tickets from the Amazon snake machine at Jillian's, walked Melanie to her car, rode home to Maggie's with the top down on her red Mustang.

Listened to Maggie's stories, rubbed her calves, tucked her in to bed.
