i decided to stop being so boring and go over to jim's tonight. matt and paul weren't there yet when i got there, but they arrived shortly. we had a delicious spaghetti dinner, cooked by jim's wife lori. we watched some simpsons and king of the hill. i decided to bail before x-files, partly because i haven't really enjoyed this season as much as i have in the past. i think the show's really on it's last leg.

when i went outside to get in my car to leave jim's, my door had once again frozen shut. i went back into the house to the expected "that was quick", and retrieved a pot full of scalding hot water. jim decided to come out and give me a hand, just in case. of all the friends that i've met in the past couple of years, i'd say jim and brax are the guys that i wish i spent more time with. this is no slight to matt or paul, because god knows i'm with them virtually every day. i just don't see jim and brax often enough for my tastes.

it seems the brax part of the equation will be solved soon, though. i was shocked to find out that when bob (our "chronic"ly toking hippie roommate) moves out at the end of this month, brax will be moving in. this is what is called "a good thing". brax and i are already planning on starting a season on nhl 2001. lots of hockey fights will ensue, i'm sure.

i'll be going to bed soon. i hope you all have visions of sugarplums dancing through your heads. whatever the hell a sugarplum is…
