Perfect start to the Perfect Day
Got passed on the median by a Motorcycle coming in to work this morning. His bike threw up a piece of cement about as large as my fist and now there is a gash on the left side of my car. I was moving around another car at the time, so I couldn't avoid it. Even while passing I don't drive fast enough for these fuckers.

What love is...
Dictionary.com defines love as: 1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
I just witnessed a true expression of love that makes me very happy. My mother has just returned from a long trip, and has been not feeling well as of late. My folks were talking in the kitchen, and my Mom said "I need something sweet." and my Dad hugged her and kissed the top of her head. That is what love is.

Brand New Colony - The Postal Service
I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
Like a perfect gentlemen
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day
I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
Albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep...
I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you...
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zippedstraight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold
I want to take you far from the cynics int his town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will hear the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony
Everything will change, oOo oOo...

Woozle Wazzle?!?
Greetings True Believers. </Stan Lee Voice>
Mi vida es muy buena.
The weather has held out for this entire trip and has made this nocturnal agoraphobe into a full fledged whatever you call the opposite.
*cue wavy flashback effects*
So far this trip I have:
- Taken a ride on Barb's Father's boat (Boat really doesn't do it justice.)
- Had a wonderful dinner at Barb's Mom's house
- Gone to the Movies Twice (Batman Begins, and Bewitched)
- Watched 2.75 Seasons of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.
- Seen the "The Final Sacrifice", "SoulTaker", "Time Chasers", and "Space Mutiny" episodes of MST3k.
- Met Barb's maternal grandparents, and went shopping with Grandma Hitchens.
- Managed to earn an Alpha Geek Nomination while not even at work
- Spent less time on the computer than I have spent hanging out
- Made (or attempted to at least) Spaghetti for Dinner
- Been stunned into silence by beauty on no less than 15 seperate occasions

Greetings from TC
So, I am now settled in at Barb's in TC, and Brandy is preparing for her Body Shop Show (facials?). The weather is absolutely beautiful, but just a tad warm for my liking.
Expect sporadic updates during my little vacation.
Laters folks.
