Last night

6:24 am Thursday 4 April 2002

Rolled over to University Schwinn last night to get my spoke fixed, but Jeff said he was too busy, and it would be okay to continue rolling around for a while with it broken. 'I've got two spokes broken on my bike,' he said, like it was a contest.

Painted three flags on a soap dish at Paint This!, which is just two shops down from the bike place, which is how I started going to that bike shop originally.

They look pretty good for the size brush I used... I felt rushed to get them done quickly; I wonder if I'll be happier with myself just getting it done, or doing a nicer job.

There's all sorts of questions in my head about this - I don't know how long each of them will be there (that's how I chose the flags - 3 countries are represented by the pees who live there), making the gift time-sensitive, in a way.

And it's a soap dish for goodness sakes. It will get soap scum on it, blocking the image anyway.

I'm not going to repaint it.

Bicycle home, the drove to the Galleria to purchase Texas longhorn postcards (not the school, but the animal) to send to my new overseas friends, and to Gabriella, my work-related contact in Switzerland.

last day

12:40pm CST Thursday 4 April 2002

Today is my Friday this week. I'm off tomorrow to attend Committee on Youth Advisors in Memphis.

I got in a bit of trouble today for too much IMing yesterday. True, but it was also the case they saw me IMing every time I came in, though I wasn't IMing all the time. Oh well.

I'm thankful for Amy taking me to the airport tomorrow on such short notice, and for Maggie picking me up on Sunday on not quite such short notice.

5:15pm

I'm leaving now to go to investment club meeting. I'll probably come back in to work tonight to get some shit done before I go for the rest of the weekend.

Just heard from Amy that she has a work-related request that makes it difficult for her to take me, but she'll still do it if I can't find someone else.

I'm not going to bed yet, but this is the last entry I'll likely write before my trip to Memphis tomorrow.

Funny: Sean (actually his dad Rick) asked if anyone would be at the airport around 12:10pm. I replied that I'd be there by 12:18pm, but didn't know if Sean would want to hang around that long.

I'm at work now, hanging out a bit while our friends at Singapore are awake, but they didn't email me back so oh well. While waiting, I updated a few old journal entries.

Now I'm going to go eat a snack or something with Lee-eh.

12:54 am

Lee-eh just asked, "can I keep [this]?" pointing to the menu as the waitress was leaving our table at House of Pies. She was all, "yes," then as she walked away, "until you leave."

Funny.
