Went to court this morning for a ticket I got last month for running a red light. Only one word to say: DISMISSED!! woohoo!! Memphis, courts are awesome. Second ticket I have gotten since I have been here and both dismissed. It is a weird set-up, nothing like California. There is no judge, the city clerks do all the fines and dismissals, then if you want to fight it, you talk to a prosecutor, who also has the authority to dismiss it. That’s what happened in my case, I told him that I was on the fence about what to plea because I didn’t intentionally mean to run it, and that it was physically impossible for me to stop the car while going 50 miles per hour. He just said, “ok, dismissed” and that was that.

What a lovely day today
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Happy Sunday
Sunday, August 27th, 2006Want to know how to exercise and get into good shape? Move to Tennessee and away from all your friends. lol. Actually, not good advice, but being lonely lately has made me focus my energy into running and exercising. No regrets so far, the first couple weeks were really hard, but every time I go out there, it gets easier and easier.
Going to go out into the shop today and blow some glass, a gift for Dave’s Mom. She loves Mickey Mouse, so going to see what I can make for her B-day. Been a while, might not be able to make anything worthwhile.
Another hot day today, should be cooling off soon though, then it will be cold as f***.
Miss you Daddy
Monday, August 21st, 2006Got my usual 100 spam emails this morning, but one stood out more than the rest.
It was from “Wesley”, my Dad’s name who isn’t here anymore and the subject line was, “Miss you”.Â
uumm, Dad???? Trying to tell me something from high above? Hope so, miss you too, love you.
I am pooped!
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006Boy, I am so pooped. Been so hot here, but I have been attempting to go to the local park and walk/run for 45 minutes. Done it two days in a row and I feel like my legs are going to fall off! Other than that, my workouts a few times a week are going strong and I have gone down another pant size. I still weigh the same though, so frustrating!
So my friend Rob got to Memphis ok. So far so good having another roommate around. Was a little leary about the change, but all good!
Gotta go cook dinner, L8
Cover your eyes and ear Mom!
Friday, August 4th, 2006I am a total fucking asshole. Asshole, my new word for everything and now I am calling me it. I listen to this morning talk show, http://www.roverradio.com. The crew is in Memphis tonight down on Beale St. for a calendar search party they are doing, http://www.missmorningglory.com. I have been wanting to go for a couple months, been all psyched out for it and wouldn’t you know, my fucking period hits today. So I got up this morning, told myself that I am going no matter what, been taking Advil every 4 hours and up until I started trying my clothes on, everything was going fine. Now, I am bloated, can’t find anything to wear, it’s hot, nothing fits, too fat, FUCK FUCK FUCK! Now we aren’t going!!!!!!!Â
If you are a man, you are thinking, this chick is whacked. If you are a woman, you are thinking, oh yea, I have been there.
So pissed at myself. WHATEVER!!! UGH!!! (Dave didn’t want to go anyhow)
Blah
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006Man, I feel like shit today. Kinda like I drank mass alcohol last night, but unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Shoot, I wish I could handle alcohol, I could use a crazy night out. haha. Those were the days. Not sure what’s up, allergies maybe. Cough.
