may 15th, 2017: roadside assistance!

the first part of the day is going to be a trip down to el paso. taking on a distance trip with a new person is always a little strange. im not sure how itll go over and all that. it ended up going pretty well though. but before it even started we had to deal with a broken fuel cover thing. thanks to the white man it got all worked out.

down in el paso and making an extra stop by best buy, barnes and noble, and mooya burger. i kinda wanted to skip over the burger place, but they have a black bean so that should be good. turns out it was. really good actually. not a bad day so far.

and then it all fell apart. on the way back a tire blew out. waiting. calling. waiting. calling. so much hassle. there was apparently a bit of a mixup with getting information from one person to another or whatever. in the end...and 5 hours later...it was all worked out. well, we were picked up. we still had the matter of a ride...dropping off the car...then getting home. back home around 6:30 or 7.

watching the celtics beat the wizards was pretty nice. mainly because the wizards are darells team and after what he put me through, they deserved to lose.

talking a little with chris about upcoming games. theres some game i saw at best buy...nex something? it looks fun. and a new tekken is happening so thats cool. and infamous is coming in the mail soon. i just heard of it last night so thats ironic. or not. but ill just say it is.

may 14th, 2017: how do you stop a warrior? with a leg drop.

i kinda slept in a little bit. not really though. on to laundry.

before i could make it to the gym my mom called to talk about her gift. apparently theres no power adapter thing in it. so now i have to deal with that. amazon kinda makes it easy. and then on to the gym.

sitting around. doing mostly nothing. somewhere in there i played a bit of borderlands with tony. i wasnt sure what was best for dealing with the warrior, but he was. the leg drop. 

calling people for mothers day. making dinner. watching chappelle stuff on netflix. turns out the second special wasnt special. id seen it already. live. so thats kinda cool i guess. i was going to watch planes, trains, and automobiles but amazon swerved me on that.

may 13th, 2017: no professional cameras?

i slept in pretty late today. it was somewhere around 9 or 9:30 before i got into the day. 

there wasnt much to do so i fell into a string of youtube videos. mainly shoe stuff and a little chili peppers.

off to el paso. picking up conor oberst and band of horses tickets. lunch at olive garden. walking the mall. lunch got the best of my stomach so i had to make an extra stop by the bathroom. finally got those mambacurials since the price was something i couldnt really argue. sams and another bathroom break. dang that olive garden. i want to blame the broth, but cant really be certain. and somehow despite the little attention i paid to what i was doing i stayed on schedule.

dishwalla was really good. the vocals, the instrumentals, the songs overall. a really good experience all around. marcy playground was interesting. didnt really know what to expect. fuel wasnt good. 

krispy kreme and the long drive back.

may 12th, 2017: another day, another un peso

gym time. not too bad, but not great either. 

i spent the bulk to the day in my office making it happen. eventually i left to see what darell was trying to do about monday and he was making his way to my building for the same reason. 

handling some out of the area work stuff to finish off the day. getting quotes, dropping off bags. and then to home.

the hunt. an impromptu nap. music stuff. we did pretty well on some jams. much better than usual even though it didnt seem like anybody had much drive to be there. towards the end of the night a tarantula hawk strolled in. if we werent already done we sure wouldve been at that point.

i stopped at wal-mart to do a little shopping and overheard some guy going on about the difference between parkour and tricking. makes me miss my old life. 

may 11th, 2017: snkrs 1, tristan 0

i tried to finish up my safari presto collection this morning. it just wasnt in the cards i guess...gay. 

the day was pretty busy for some reason. dealing with the emails of yesterday. a last minute meeting change. a trip to the neu building to kill a bunch of time. checking email and then off to talk to payne about stuff. that spiraled into a few side conversations. i wasnt able to get out of the building in time for lunch so that wasnt great.

a slight break from work in the form of sabc stuff. 

and then right back to doing things. talking to people. lots of talking today.

finally its time to go home. sit back and do nothing. or not...i had a reminder to see 'going in style' today so there was that to deal with. it ended up being entertaining but not amazing.

one thing that kinda bothers me about my work life is that it means getting involved more in other peoples business. never cared for that. watching peoples lives get screwed around and whatnot just isnt for me. and there were three instances of that today. but thats how the world works for now i guess...
