Tuesday, August 31, 2004 I'm sorry but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say, I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be....Ahhh...to play hooky on a Tuesday to go see Napolean Dynamite with Parini (yay to Pnut being in town!!!!). And then to go do crosswords at Starbucks. I love my job!(Disclaimer in case any of my co-workers happen across this: I was just kidding. I was in bed sick all day). And if you haven't seen the movie yet, you damn well should. I think I'm going to chuckle to myself about parts of it for a week. And I'm going to start answering my phone like him too, and say, "You're already talking to her. Gosh."
So, I know that there are many many posts here on this little blog. And every now and then I like to take a little walk back down memory lane and reread the haps of my life over the last 3 years. I like to reflect on those that we've met and spent time with. Remember our good friends we made at Starbucks when Parini and I didn't have jobs yet. But it's strange when, just after reflecting/rereading that, you can go to Starbucks in a different city, and see THE SAME FRIGGIN' GUY. Parini and I haven't been to Starbucks together in probably over a year, and the first time we go together, there he is? When it's seperated by 15 miles from our normal hotspot Starbucks? Whatsupwiththat? Does this guy just spend his day making rounds of all the local Starbucks in the area so he can pretend to be a townie everywhere? Did he follow us there? Was he actually sitting behind us in the movie theatre too? Creepy creepy.
Time to go. Signed sincerely me.
Correction from yesterday: Jon does not actually own the house in Lakeville. It is in fact his 'rentals house. Thanks for keeping me in check Chris.
