happy armed forces day.

(not that i'm armed or a force, but it said it was armed forces day on my little far side desk calendar, so i figured it might be important to someone out there. otherwise they wouldn't put it on the calendar, right?)

yesterday was a pretty good day. i didn't really do much, but it was a good day. guy called in the early afternoon and we headed over to see scott at work. then he and i headed over to fazoli's to get some grub (love them breadsticks). i think i saw the fazoli's girl working in the kitchen. i'd have to say she was looking decidedly not nearly as good as the last time. not nearly. paul…take note. i'd also like to point out that for the first time in a long while, we actually got good breadstick service. the manager himself came out and hooked us up. i give them a "b" for this visit. with the fazoli's girl being a major let-down.

guy headed out to band practice and i sat around the house reading for most of the evening. scott called when he was leaving work and we decided a little trip to the record store was in order. guy called before scott got here and decided to meet us there. i picked up a cd by the rapture. it's one of those insound tour support things, and it's pretty good, from what i've had a chance to listen to. we then decided to go back to the house and watch the princess bride dvd that sharon sent me for my birthday. jackie and jesse came over, making it an impromptu little movie night.

and yesterday i finally finished a new mix cd. here's the track listing…
