I am so happy I could melt

I finally figured out the mystery of my new shirt. Actually it wasn't that much of a mystery, I figured it out when I got home last night and had a closer look at hit.

Apparantly it is labled 'small', when in fact the shirt is a medium/large. I guess the Kathy Lee wannabe who made the shirt didn't teach the little Malyasian children to sew on the right labels. The shirt is very asian in its cut, something that one would properly find on the streets of Toyko or Hong Kong.

Otherwise, it is summertime and all this sunshine is making me happy. Pessimism just cannot complete with bright sunshine.

Being a complete geek, I had a great tour of an old early mormon house on 200 South today. It was fun to see where the beta wives slept and sewed as opposed to the alpha wife. And all the kids in a dormatory type room.

Orange is the new Black

Mainly for S&G I went to DI today to look at some shirts. I am going to a nice event tomorrow, and while I wouldn't normally buy from DI for a nice event like tomorrow (I'd go to a high quailty shop at the Gateway), I had an hour to kill and I thought it would be fun.

Lo and behold that I found a brand new orange shirt and a gorgeous gold/silver tie. They are great quality, like they are overstock and the shirt is a fantastic cut and fits like a dream.

And nobody will be able to tell I got them from DI of all places, they look like I just bought them from an expensive name shop.

Ever Had A Moment...?

Ever had a moment where you are on the verge of just dropping everything and running and damn the consequences?

I have been feeling those moments alot lately. I feel I am in a rut and I need to get out of it. Fast.

I do have some avenues of getting out of this rut, but they have yet to materialize completely yet. I am starting to get really diapointed in Amy. She was suppose to have helped me out in getting me a job somewhere interstate (anywhere but here). She said she would, she got my infomation of me, and I know she is in the position to get me something, and yet... silence.

Silence is not fucking golden.

Maybe I should hit up Liz & Sue again. I am sure they would give me something, but I just don't know.

I have decided what to get Tina and Eli for there wedding. It is so cool. I have never been to a lesbian wedding before, I cannot wait. I just have to figure out who I am going to bring along as a date. I am sure Lindsey would come if I ask her, but bringing your best friend along as a subsitute date seems kinda... desperate

THE big LOVE TEST!! What do you need?

7
LOVING ONE. You need safety in your relationship.
You want to be sure in his/her arms, knowing
that he will protect you and you can be totally
devoted to your other. At this point you are
very vulnerable. You open yourself and dont
even think that he/she could cheat you. You
totally trust your partner in every single way.
SO if you find out that she/he lied to you or
played a game this trust is broken. You may try
to forgive your other but this will be very
difficult.He/She has to be friendly and
trustworthy.
PLEASE VOTE, I want to know what you think about my
quiz, I worked hard on it.
You can always message me or tell me how I can
improve that quiz. Ill sure write back.

Insert Name Here

I enjoyed work alot today, Jesse came in and did alot of his work for Boston, and we just had a great old chat about anything and everything. Jesse is actually a really nice guy. Also completely unprentious and open and down to earth good. It is completely refreshing to know somebody like that. I need to get to know him more.

Doug gave me a copy of Dreamweaver. Yippee! Now I can go build that darn homepage I have been saying I will build since forever. I have purchased the domain name, now I just need to build a site. Once I get the check from Jenny, I will purchase some webspace, and I will be ready to join the cyberworld.

I so want a Gmail address it is not funny. I would love one gigabite worth of storage. Imagine never having to delete an e-mail again!

Today was just bright and sunny without being to warm. It was just a really good day. I am such a summer freak. I love this season.

Holly sent me an e-mail. She is going to Vegas for a Madonna concert. Lucky Devil. I am so jealous.

Went to Mandi's sister's house for a CC meeting tonight. It is in the Uintah Township up in Weber County, I have driven past it a thousand times, but never actually been in it, it is such a cool neighbourhood, tucked between a couple of big freaking hills and is really cut off from alot of the world. Also Wendy's house is HUGE. I loved it.

Wandering Traverler.

Before Last week this is all the states I have ever been to:




Now I can add FIVE more states to the list:





Admittedly Iowa is a bit of a cheat, since I visited the one extreme south-west county only and that was seriously for all of 10 minutes (that is how long it took from leaving Missouri to entering Nebraska).

Nebraska and Kansas are not as flat as everybody makes them out to be, while there obviously wasn't any mountains, there was a few hills and dales. There was the big shopping center built over the I-80 in central Nebraska though.

The freakiest thing happened in Wyoming, we where just driving back, maybe 20 minutes past Green River, when all of a sudden it started snowing and BAM! Instant Whiteout. Yes at this time of year, with summer almost upon us. I don't get it either.

It was scary. I had never been in a white-out before. Luckily I was only shot-gun at that stage and not driving, and Curtis knew what to do (hazzard lights, 30 mph etc).

When I got back to Salt Lake, I told the story to several different people and 3 people told me about late season snow problems they had in Wyoming as well, including my boss who was stuck in Laramie for 4 days due to heavy snowing!

It has been quite a while

Funny my last post was about Angela. She left for Europe yesterday. Lucky ducky. Well she will be gone for two whole months travelling all the wonderful places, while I am stuck here in Salt Lake City.

Then again I shouldn't complain, I did spend several days with her and A, S and Curtis on a roadtrip to Kansas City. Heck she was barely back from that trip before she had to fly to Europe. What a committed girl.

We overnighted in Denver, which I have to say is an exceptionally beautiful city. I love it alot. Kansas City was also grand, though rather humid. After living in the dry heat for 8 years one has forgotten what the humidity is like (even if one spent the first 16 years of his life in the sub-tropics).

I did met alot of new people and had alot of fun, the one problem is (which I always have after trips like this) is I am itching to go somewhere else, get out of my routine again. I need to travel, do something, anything.
