Well it’s been a nice christmas break thus far, in total it will be two weeks, which is nice. So far is has primarily consisted of watching basketball games, which is good, haven’t had a chance to sit down and watch a lot in quite a while. First it was the Monticello Banking Holliday Classic down home, 8 hours, 3 days. Then insert the pretty much normal christmas family stuff, which went pretty well, lots of little things went wrong here and there, due to weather etc, but nothing major. After christmas i headed back up to lexington and have attended several games of the Lexington Catholic tournament. Now that i have a bit more vacation at work i’m going to try to make it to more of the state tournament this year. At any rate, the plan for new years seems to be larry’s, should be cool, has been the past few years.

The title of this entry has little or nothing to do with anything interesting, it only reflects the fact that i am now sitting in a cleaned up computer room which has been sitting on my (mental) todo list for quite some time. Nothing much going on right at the moment. Today was my last day of work for the year, which is good. I’m looking forward to a two week vacation which they say is the minimum to actually get benifit from the break. Heading to Natasha’s Cafe tonight to listen to a local musician, Ben Lacy who is supposed to be about as good a guitarist as you’ll ever run across. What’s supposedly special about him is that he is able to play several parts at once on a single guitar. Check out the sound and video clips on his site. After that i belive we’re heading to to shamrock’s for one of the gall’s crew’s birthday get together. Should be a good night.

No i didn’t go to my highschool reunuion and i don’t think that i will when the time comes, but i had a mini-reunion last night. So here goes. We (frye and i) were heading down to The Dame last night to watch a couple of local bands. We got down there and the first show was still on, we started to leave and i heard someone call out my name and turned around and it was a guy i went to highschool with, brandon. I went over and talked to him for a min and recognized the guy standing next to him, rankin, who was also from my home town. We started talking about guys he (mainly) used to hang out with and he was like they’re all inside. So i went in and convinced the door lady that i just wanted to say high to a couple of friends and that i’d be right back out. So i went in and talked to a few other people from highschool, or at least from my home town: gehrig, matt, amy, amanda, … While i was inside a girl came up to me and introduced herself as lauren, she looked really familiar, but i couldn’t place her. At any rate the first show wasn’t anywhere near over so we headed down to Macarthy’s to hang out for a while, planning on going bak to the Dame.

Macarthy’s was pretty empty. Outside of a thoroughly drunken irishmen there wasn’t much entertaining going on yet (~10:00.) Oh, the drunken guy stood up fell into the bar after which he proceeded to try and hit on a table of girls dancing with what i first thought was a mic jagger impression. Anyway after we’d been there for a bit a few of the wayne county crew showed up and a few minutes later a few more. Anyway, Macarthy’s was picking up so we decided to sitck around there and hang out with that group. I was talking to gehrig and ask him who the lauren girl was and as soon as he told me i recognized her. I went over and talked to her for a bit, now that i knew who she was. I probably hadn’t seen her since she was 15 or so. She seemed pretty cool, hadn’t ever really talked to her before she was pretty cool. Talked to Amy the younger sister of a friend of the girl i road to highschool with (heh.) she was really cool. Talking to gehrig and brandon for a while they invited me over to play music with them sometime, probably will.

Anyway as we were getting ready to leave we decided to do a circuit and see if anyone else we knew was there, but didn’t see anyway. As i was turning to leave the back patio someone called out my name (again.) This time it was shannon, shawn’s girlfriend. We stuck around for a while talking to her and her friends: becca, becky, and (i think) april. They all seemed pretty cool. We finally got out of there about 1:30 and headed home. A long night, but a pretty good one.
