Urgent Delivery

today was a day of magic and wonderment! actually, it was mostly a day of working and drinking a lot of tea. i was drinking tea at work and reading about tea, while it was busy, and that led to me going and spending way too much money at an unnamed, overpriced tea shop in the mall. whatever man, i gots me a 2-cup infuser and lots of oolongz. ;-P anyway, yeah! when i got home, i hung out with the wife and we had southern-style bourbon chicken [which was a little dry but a good recipe] and watched last week's episode of 'v,' which was excellent.

what can i say? i'm a sucker for sci-fi remakes/reboots.

so i open again tomorrow, which i'm not super stoked about, but i am happy that i will be meeting with pastor taylor again. that is, assuming he's still wanting to meet. his father died a few days ago, which is sad, but we trust that we know where he is now. i also need to do a video tomorrow. even though i know the topic and title of the video, i still sort of feel like i have no idea what it's going to be about because i don't know when i'm going to find time to film it, nor where i'm going to film it. i'm trying to film in new places because my thumbnails and ending screencaps are getting kind of repetitive and annoying me. time for sleep!

Trock More, Dude!

while we failed to get to church this morning [for a very stupid but somewhat hilarious reason], we did make it to the eastern shore to hang out with family and have some delicious chicken. christin woke me up this morning talking about a cyclone full of bees coming to destroy major cities, and a superhero in the form of a giant wave of some sort named 'breezy billows' or something like that. i'm sure christin will remember the actual name and post it as a comment here tomorrow morning or something, but yeah. it was bizarre. she said 'why can't i come up with stuff like this when i'm awake?' i have no idea.

so at bob and donna's, we hung out with the kids and did strange things and, as usual, made strange videos. here is a link to one that i will share only here, because this video is very strange and i think i look absolutely horrible in it. but i also think it's pretty freaking funny. anyway, dinner was good, and it was good to see bob and donna and the kids. they're completely remodeling their house and it looks amazingly great. brand new kitchen, all new appliances, new siding, floors, the whole nine yards. pretty intense stuff! now it's bedtime, because i've got to get up early for work. i'm working with becky! exciting.

Sangre Sonando

wow, what a busy day. i probably won't type much here, because the middle finger on my right hand is in pain [i cut it at work today] and it's annoying me. woke up around noon, hung out with the wife a bit, then headed to work. we did really well today, thanks in great part to the chocolate demo we did from 2pm-5pm. lots of fun, brought in lots of business. i had thai max [new place in the mall] for dinner, and it was good! it's not real thai food, but it's quite delicious. i recommend the bang-bang chicken. anyway, it's time to sleep.

and time to not post this. failure is me! i stayed up way too late.

today was another long day, but a lovely one. i spent some time making this, and i think it came out really wonderfully. i didn't get up early enough to really work on the song, so i'll probably be doing that in the morning tomorrow if i get up early enough. if not, looks like it'll be sunday or nothing. which means probably not until next week because we're going to the eastern shore on sunday. man! i'm a busy individual. i worked with becky tonight, which was really really fun. we didn't sell as much as i wanted, but we made quite a few customers for life.

did i mention on this blog that i love my job? i really do. it's a great job for me. i get to be out in the public [sort of] and making things and experimentating [i know it's not a real word]. and at the same time, it's not super stringent like sears was. i liked the customers at sears, just not the fact that i always felt like i was trying to sell something that wasn't awesome. now i sell nothing but good products that are awesome and that i really care about. that's pretty rad, if you ask me. i also get to make coffee even though i don't like the taste of it. weird! but good.

anyway, after work i went home and edited the video, which took way longer than it should have. christin kept me up talking for quite a bit, which delayed the process slightly, but i had a great time talking to her and joking about stuff. i watched a few videos on youtube while my video was rendering, and after hearing some of these charlie sheen quotes... i kind of want to find out what the big deal is. i haven't seen anything. maybe there's a primer to the whole insanity and debacle or whatever somewhere on the internet [i'm sure there is], but i need to find it and see what's going on. because some of those quotes are totally insane.

Quickly Laa

it was a long day today. i got four hours of sleep last night, tops, and it's really late now, so i'm not sure how coherent this post is going to be. or whether i'll actually finish it and get it posted tonight. not likely, now that i think about it. anyway, i opened this morning at about 8am, worked until 3:30 and headed home for our meeting with pastor taylor. we went over two points of the first chapter of the [westminster] confession, which is some serious progress for us. we go slow, because we get talking about related issues, etc. it's good times. i'm something of a theology nerd.

so after the meeting, christin and i hung out a bit and ate leftovers. i played some games and messed around on the computer while she talked on the phone and watched some dumb shows and a few episodes of iron chef. that show is fun, but it's always reruns... and they always play the same ones so i know what happens. anyway, yeah! christin went to bed early and i didn't stay up much later because i was just way too tired. got about 10 hours of sleep, which was very good. this is bud from the future writing, by the way. retroactively dated blogging for the win!

President Nick's Son

today i made this, which took up a lot of the day. i also officially switched classes so i don't have to worry about the mounting ridiculous workload being thrown on top of my technical difficulties for school. hopefully, all of that will work out quickly. tomorrow i open, and it's way too late for me to be going to bed. i'm going to get like 4 hours of sleep if i'm lucky, but that's kind of okay because i got a lot of sleep today. anyway, we had dinner at the fields' house, and my lasagna was a huge hit. always fun to hang out with them and enjoy their company. i've got quite a bit more to say, but it's just too late and i need to get some sleep. goodnight!

Oral Carousel

how could a person call another person wack? this morning, christin made me breakfast in bed, and that was super awesome. thanks again, honey! french toast with peanut butter and syrup, yum. i went back to sleep for about another hour after that, then got up and joined her in the living room. she spent most of the day cleaning the house, and when i came out to help, it was all done for the most part. so i sat with her and watched a bit of t.v. before eating some lunch and watching a few videos on youtube and responding to comments on my latest.

work was good, and we did okay for a tuesday. weekdays are always really slow, so it's not really a surprise, but we did alright. nikkie created an amazing thing today, which we're either going to call 'trifecta' or 'triple threat.' which do you think is better? it's basically a big milk/dark chocolate triangle with chocolate cake, marshmallow icing, and graham cracker stuffed inside. it's ridiculously amazing. we've been making a lot of seriously delicious treats lately, so if you live in the annapolis area, you should totally come get something. yeah!

also, i made some bomb iced tea tonight.

tomorrow i've got the day off, and i need to finish all of my work from the past two weeks while i have the time. i've also got to finish writing a song, record that song, and do a video for it. the video for my songs always ends up as something of an afterthought, so i don't know what i'll do for this one to make it better than the previous offerings. i guess it really depends on how much time and effort i want to devote to the video as a whole, but yeah. we'll see what ends up going down in the end. now it's time to get some rest. goodnight, all.
