Well, he's Here

Well, Will's down now. I spent Tuesday, Thursday Evening, and Friday Evening with him. I plan on spending some time with him tomorrow too. On Tuesday he picked up a 360. Which means that I'm going to have to save up to get one now, though I'll probably wait till a price drop. On Thursday we saw the shakesperian play As You Like It, and I enjoyed it. We saw it because his younger brother was in it. We really didn't do much on Friday. But I'm enjoying the time spent with him. If I were one to take pictures, I'd record it all in a scrap albumn. But I'm one to type long blogs about the stuff I do, so that's what I'm going to do.

Oh, we also forced him to get a new pair of glasses on Tuesday. He's been using his military glasses which, although work, are aesthetically hideous. There's something wrong when he thinks those glasses were ment to be permenant. Still, his new glasses look nice.

Work has been kind of slow, which I guess is both a good thing and a bad thing. I got Tuesday off to spend with Will (he came down Monday night, half a day later than I expected), but I recieved Wedness day off because of lack of things to do. I spent that day glued to my cell phone in the faint, delusional hope that my work might call and tell me they had some overly repetitive task that they wanted me to preform. It didn't happen though... I worked a half day on Thursday, then spent longer than normal on Friday because of a system update. The net result was about 16 hours this week, when I'm normally use to 22. But this is the second week at my new pay scale, so hopefully that'll make up for it. Otherwise, well, I guess I'll figure out a way to purchase textbooks next month.

I found an archery range today, and spent a half hour shooting off my Grandfather's bow. The bow is a 60 pound bow, which surprised the guy at the range. Apparantly beginners should only be shooting 20 pound bows. As to my accuracy, well, the most dangerous place to be is about 5 feet above, or to the left, of my target. The safest place to be is where I'm aiming. Still, for 5 dollars, I'll probably go back there next Saturday. Eight dollars would buy me an hour on the range, but I don't know if my arms and my fingers could fire off that bow for an hour.

As to where the bow is being stored when I'm not using it, well, my Dad wants it stored in the same place where he stores his rifle. His viewpoint is that, if some one where to break into our home, and find the bow, that they would use it against the family. Now, as wise as those words sound, it's kind of difficult to use a bow. More difficult than to use a firearm. Also, I think if some one where to break into our house, that they would probably be armed with something more dangerous than a bow. I didn't argue with him, though. As to where the fire arms and the bow are, well, unless you were involved in the consturction of a specific room in our home, you won't find them. Though I do agree with hiding the rifle.

I picked up the third installment of the DDR series for the Xbox today, and so far it seems pretty good. Much better than the second one, at least. I got it on sale, which was one of the biggest points of purchase.

Tomorrow, some of my friends and I plan to throw Rob a birthday party. His family is not invited. The reason being is that they have crossed one of my closest friends (his girlfriend) one too many times. They don't view her as his girlfriend, or as a potential family member. They view her as a means to punish him. And they're sadestic. Luckly, their IQ and be counted on one hand, so they often times fail in what they try to do, but everyone is sick of what they're doing, and getting back at them sounds good. What we're doing is first watching the orginal Pirates of the Carribean at my house. Then we're going to a 3ish showing of the second one (I liked it enough to see it twice, no one else has seen it, though), and finally we're going to dinner, probably at RJ Gators (a Chili's kind of resturant). It should be fun.

I've started the fourth Dune novel, God Emprorer of Dune. So far it's good, but I'm only on page 50 something.

Finally, I might be able to get a laptop for 50 dollars. It'd need a replacement battery, but other than that it should be good. If the Windows Disk and the Drivers disk is in good condition, and the only problem with it is the battery, and the specs are decent, than I'll pick it up. I'm hoping those conditions are true.

Anyway, that's all I have to type tonight (not tired for once! Yay!!)~Night!!
