I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Mitch Hedberg was a comedic genius.

I think I finally killed that fly that was buzzing around my room. Praise AllahKrishnaJesus.

The Labor Day weekend was pretty interesting for me. This is what happened each day:

Friday: While getting settled for an early night in, my friend Eric came by and told me he had made chocolate cheesecake and wanted to share some with me. I hung out with some friends in his apartment for the night. Eric is a lad who takes cheesecake very seriously, so it should be no surprise that his cheesecake was delicious.

Saturday: Fed the ducks downtown with Paul and a friend of his. They weren't nearly as social as the ducks I fed with Stacey and her Slovak friends. Hmmph.

Sunday: Bought tickets for the fun./Miniature Tigers show at Water Street on the 13th. Whoo!

Monday: Mom came up to visit. We ate at Ruby Tuesday and saw the movie Ponyo, which is a charming anime about a goldfish that wants to be a human. It was really sweet.

Tonight I watched The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus, which a friend lent me last week. It was pretty cool. Taj Mahal was awesome! Yoko Ono was crazy, but then again, she IS Yoko Ono. Heh, she sounded like a cat being viciously stroked by a violin bow.

Another thing I did today was my assignment for Creative Writing. We had to write about a parent placing a child's clothes into a box, but from four different perspectives. In one, the child had simply outgrown the clothes. Another was the parent getting the child ready for a trip. Then the parent was packing to move to a new house. Finally, we had to write about the parent packing clothes into a box because the child had died. That one sucked to write. I had done the other three with the characters I had come up with: The father Dave, and his son Gavin. As I wrote, it was like they became real people to me. Once I got to the death one I was like "Dave, I'm so incredibly sorry about this, but it's for a grade. Forgive me someday."
