“We can’t all be Girl Scouts, Millie.”

—Lindsey on Freaks and Geeks

time 1:36 pm feeling clean wearing cool clothes ready for anything next ?

This has been one heck of a week.

The weekend prior, my Dad came to visit, all my himself. We went to the Twins-Brewers game which was awesome. Sometimes the Dome isn’t as bad as I think. There was this one guy that my Dad kept saying was overpaid and basically worthless on the Brewers, then he proceeded to hit a GRAND SLAM holy smokes!! It was pretty exciting. Needless to say the Twins lost but it was really fun. Brats and beer for dinner (yes, they sell turkey brats) + cool baseball = good times.

Saturday we straightened out the Saints tickets situation and I showed off HAM + our cool Wii a little bit. Pretty fun, I’ll have to play golf again sometime. We took a self-tour of the Guthrie and chatted a bit with the guy serving drinks. The Guthrie is pretty incredible and I’m glad to finally check it out. We’ll have to take Mom there. Hit up Punch for a pretty intense but useful lunch and looked around the ‘art’ fair (more like a craft fair). Too hot = went home. My Dad left me with a book that I just finished yesterday. Very useful to not just work but life too. Now I have to finish the Te of Piglet and things will come together. Yeah.

This week was Flashbelt combined with random trips to the office to do work (because, you know, that’s what we actually do, ha ha!). Flashbelt was pretty awesome and the Cosmos thing on the last day blew my mind. Math is so amazing. I miss it. I need to get back into Flash/programming, because that’s the closest one can get to the magic of art and math together. That sounds super new agey but you had to have seen it to know! Pretty kickass. I can’t wait for Flashbelt 08. Dave puts on a good show and it’s so awesome that it’s here in Minneapolis.

I didn’t get enough done once we returned to the office on Thursday/Friday. Whoa man, that’s not gonna be good come next week. Oh well we’ll see what happens. Lots of good stuff going on so it’s pretty exciting around HAM.

Today I actually got everything done that I meant to and it’s making me a bit creeped out. Freelance is laying low for now…regular work is not necessarily something I have to do today…no events coming up, etc. It’s definitely weird to have my daily ‘to-do’ list done but once I make one for next week it’ll be clear that I should savor this. YEAHHHHH. On that note maybe I’ll go read. Woo summer! I love it!

time 11:04 am feeling gross wearing ? ready for another burrito! next find a reasonable fascimile of a burrito in this kitchen somewhere

This website creeps me out.

Anyway our party was totally awesome last night. Sadly a good deal of people couldn’t make it, and sadly I think there will be no sequel this time, at least for awhile, but many people dressed up (Alyssa! John! Susan! Diana! Melissa, oh I’m sorry, COURTNEY LOVE!) and Carrie Camaro from KOOL108 made an appearance. It was pretty frickin’ sweet. Even Oona and Brian managed to make it which was very cool. Our sisters aren’t best friends for nothin’!

Blokus was a big hit, bigger than Guitar Hero, and Brian, Susan and Peter were obviously meant to play that game. The downside is now I feel disgusting and have gold eyeliner and fake-eyelash-glue gumming up my face. Gross. That’s alright (”you’re an ‘alright chick’” -AC Slater via Nick Cagle) because it was totally worth it. Now if I could only find another burrito!

It’s going to be 90 this week. I am STOKED. I <3 the heat. (Sorry D, Katy and Jeff, I know you hate it.)(Well, Katy doesn't even live here, but still.) Next weekend is Carrie's party and my dad is coming to visit. So, good times ahead. My cousin Jesse graduated high school last night (I can't believe he is 18 - that is crazy) and he took time out of his busy day to text me. Pretty sweet. I gotta call him. The point is, way to GRADUATE, Jesse!

Now I'd like to know: when the hell is Jenny going to come visit. Hurry it up JJ!

Naw just kidding. But I hope you guys know you are welcome here in the TC anytime! I love it here and I love to show it off. Wisconsin is cool but I am pretty keen on MN. Unless there were an embargo on cheese, here I will stay (much to the sadness of my parents; sorry guys).

OK this entry is stupid so I am OUT.

1. Biden - F yeah!
2. Edwards - made a comeback, however did not appreciate his stance on gay marriage
3. Richardson - he is super kickass!! but a little too mouthy
4. Obama - I like him but he’s so much the little kid eager to please that it makes me nervous
5. Clinton - milking that anti-Bushie stance (which is smart), but she’s still skeeves me out
6. Kucinich - although he’s #1 in terms of stuff I agree with, he’s too crazy and would never win. BOO to that.
7. Dodd - name is too much like ‘dud’
8. Grandpa (Gravel) - he’s too angry

[11:18] Diana: i forgot to tell you…before j decided to do vegas, she was planning a mpls wedding
[11:18] Diana: and one day she comes up to me and goes: theknot.com says i have 171 decisions left to make before the wedding.
[11:18] Diana: lol!
[11:18] Diana: and then like an hour later, she was like: 170 to go.

“Hello Mommy.”

—Knocked Up

time 1:13 pm feeling stuffy wearing workout clothes ready for cleaning my car! next go work out?

Woo, so I feel the need to update since Diana refuses to say anything until I do. Jeff and I are engaged! I’m pretty sure everyone who reads here already knows this, but hey, might as well put it up there for the lurkers. We’re getting hitched sometime in 2008 somewhere in Minnesota.

So what else is new. Not too much, sorry to say. We got our asses kicked at softball, 14-4, game was called on account of pity. Whoops. I did some GG/GS stuff yesterday and lots o’ emailing today. Saw Knocked Up which was good, even if just to see the Apatow crew, and hope to listen to a debate tonight. That’s about it. Oh yeah maybe I’ll start sewing again soon.

It is really cool to be engaged but really uncool to have to plan stuff. Well not really but right now it’s way too overwhelming. One site said I should budget like $800 for my appearance alone. Are they f’in high? Seriously.

Um that’s about it. I think there are some things I need to tend to now…ehhhhh…ciao!
