I hope everyone had a lovely fourth... rain notwithstanding... Are there rescheduled fireworks at some point?
And does everyone know about this free music on bidwell on tuesdays?
I didn't... But ended up going on tues... it was nice... drank some wine, hung out, then went to heenan's/mcgarrett's/whatever-the-hell that place is called now... and hung out with some friends. One friend of mine (who i may or may not have a bit of history with) was there, but forgot to tell me (when he invited me) that he was on a date- then proceeded to ignore his date most of the time and pay attention to me. I like the attention, but I felt kind of bad for her, and while she put on a nice face, i'm sure she HATES me now... oh well. it was a fun night anyway. Nice to get out for a bit.
Then yesterday went to a barbecue, which was nice. :) we had salmon and pork tenderloin... which was delicious, don't get me wrong, but yeah, I kinda think the 4th is all about burgers and dogs. Went for a lovely boat ride on the lake... very nice. Then gave up on fireworks since it was rainy and foggy and watched horror movies instead. (dead silence, I think it was called. about a murdering ghost and her ventriloquist dummy. it was ok.)
Now back to work... might get some 'yachting' in this weekend, which I look forward to. ("yachting" = sitting on the boat drinking beers and hanging out, as opposed to "sailing" which means paying attention and actually trying to go somewhere).

long time no see...Well, I'm back- by popular demand.
Thanks for noticing! :)
Unfortunately... I don't have much to say...
One work year has ended, and a new one has started. But not much has changed for me, for the moment.
[word to the wise- stay out of the hospital if at all possible for the next few weeks. Give the fresh-faced new interns some time to cut their teeth and to realize that yes, "doctor" means YOU.]
I am going to Boston this weekend since I am MOH in my friend's wedding.
other than that... oh not much. Have spent a large part of my time being an idiot over boys, with varying degrees of success. I am such a disaster... hehe.
I haven't gone out or been very social in quite a while, come to think of it. Hmm.
One of my best friends from work (and about the first person I met in buffalo) MOVED last week, without even saying goodbye. I am still stinging from that one.
My current dilemma is whether or not to buy an iphone. I really shouldn't spend the $. But... i kinda want it....
god, I can't even think of any good work stories...
I keep thinking summer has just started, but CRAP it's almost july, and I have been outside about twice total.
I have this feeling lately that my life is just passing me by, and I am not making the most of it. I don't like that feeling. :(
Ok, well I am falling asleep in my chair. If anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to keep you all posted.

Ajay makes a good point. Since you are in the wedding there will at least be some groomsmen I don't know if they are single or if you know any of them but by the end of the wedding you should know if any of them are single. Some weddings can be a lot of fun. So have fun and don't be nervous that everyone is looking at you. Hey who knows with any luck you will have lots of great stories you can post about after the weeding or if they are really good you can post about how you can't tell any of the stories on here.

I agree, I know someone who works for apple and had a beta iphone. Its great at parties but other than that it's a lot of hype.

Forget about the iPhone. It's all hype.
I know the feeling (of thinking that life is passing you by). Ditch and go out and have fun.
Did you know weddings are one of the places to meet people? ;-)

look how not fun this is!Category: video
So...
last weekend my sister had a surprise party for her husband for his 30th birthday. They had a big crab boil down in the Outer Banks, where his grandfather lives. I guess the surprise was blown too early, but it still sounds like it was a good time. And one of the things they did was to all go hanggliding at Kitty Hawk.
As you may or may not (probably not) remember, we were supposed to go hanggliding last year,
but I didn't have time, and there wasn't enough wind anyway. I was relieved, because while I thought it might be fun and cool, I was also kind of scared.
Well, I guess I shouldn't have been scared. Dad sat it out due to his broken ribs (ouch), and took some videos.
The first one is sis's husband (i think), and looks like a typical run. The second one (I think) is some random kid that he filmed, because he got 'so high'.
hahahah, and to think I was scared!
And my date for graduation ended up working out last night. Ended up having a very nice night. Thank you, date. :)
oh yeah, and another thing...
So last night at graduation, one guy was talking about juggling multiple girlfriends. And someone asked what the hardest part is, and he said one of the toughest parts is keeping the names straight. when asked how to deal with it, he said it's easy, just call everyone baby.
Now for me, I've always kinda liked it when a guy calls me baby... I sort of thought it was a sign of affection that he's giving me a 'nickname'. But now I'm going to be all nervous, and every time I get called baby I'm going to assume it's b/c he has 10 girlfriends and can't remember my name. Grrrr.

I switch between "baby", "sweetie", "sugar", "sexy" (not in public). If you just use 1 nickname women get suspicious.

Glad you had a good time out, I was sleeping missing Jackdaw. That being said if that is the sand dune I think it is, it is a lot bigger then the video makes it look. It really is huge.

How to juggle multiple girlfriends.....sounds like playa ought to be more concerned when they eventually find out about one another. I apologize on behalf of my dog like gender.

i hate being called baby.

I think Babik calls themselves "gypsy jazz" but I may be wrong... they're pretty cool though.
oooh, does Babik play Flamenco by any chance?
First of all glad you had a great time. Its cool that you made the best out of bad weather. Mine was boaring so no post about it. I forgot about that tuesday series of shows. That Moondance thing sounds interesting. I like (e:fellyconnelly) like the definitions fo yacting and sailing.
HA! i love your definitions of yachting and sailing...
7/10 Buffalo Philharmonic
7/17 Babik
7/24 Neville Francis and the Riddim Posse
7/31 Outer Circle
and i still haven't figured out why you are still available, i have concluded that you are just too good for everyone you have met so far. You will find someone soon though, I'm sure of it.
Boat ride sounds great. Perhaps (E:Strip) should go for a ride on the moondance. Glad you had a good holiday
