Two Weeks Stale

It's been a little over 2 weeks since my last blog. I started one the other day, but it was crap, so I deleted it and didn't try again. A lot has been going on in my life and I know you guys don't want to spend a life time finding out about what happened in two weeks, so I'll be very brief. I'll elaborate on any point you request additional info.

1. The books have arrived! They are all wrapped in brown paper and are sitting on the floor of our living room. I have to check with the accountant to see if we have enough money for postage before they are sent out. CHECK THIS OUT. I hand-delivered a copy to Double O. That's right. I saw him, and spoke to him. First of all he wanted to pass a message along to you guys. He said, "Thanks for calling," and "Sorry I didn't call you back, I didn't know what to say." He appologized to me for blaming everything on ZZ and I. He appologized for everything, actually, and I guess that's what I really wanted. I didn't stay too long, we talked for about 20 minutes and then I left. Getting caught up on each other's lives from the last 6 months in just 20 minutes seemed strange. We kept saying very brief things like, "So, the bumper's finally gone." "Do you still have it somewhere?" "No, I threw that bastard in the dumpster."

2. ZZ and I went to game 2 of the AlAskA Aces hockey tournement between them and the Fresno Falcons. The Aces, incidentally, knocked Vegas out of the championship hunt a few weeks ago.

3. ZZ bought a shot gun.

4. Because there were two shootings at our apartment in one night. The cops came, but didn't do anything (AT ALL) (Including file a police report) when the downstairs neighbors didn't answer the cop's knocks at the door.

5. We are looking for apartments again. We are broke for now, but hope to have money to move out soon. We desperately need to get out of here. It's actually become kinda scarey. Money's just really really tight.

6. However! The car, the Diskohaus, The Pepsi Can, The Collision Resistance Impaired, the Saturn... is FINALLY MINE! I don't have the title in my name yet, but the mofo is finally paid off. I used to think the "Don't Laugh, It's Paid For" bumper stickers were stupid, but I'm seriously thinking about getting one now.

7. I have been working out a lot lately. I can finally run the 1.5 mile without stopping again. It only took about 10 runs and a month to do it! I haven't been out on the bike much lately. I rode to work and I've piddled around downtown a bit, but nothing serious. Now that the temps are in the 60's and we're in the 2nd half of May (the best time of the year) I'm gonna rock and roll the Gary Fischer a lot more.

8. I'm 530 hand-written pages into Highway 9. I'm 37% finished. My self-inflicted deadline of July 26th, 2006, may have to be extened to July 26th, 2007. I want it published (with iUniverse again) by March 2008. That will be 10 years after the events in the book took place. I'm sentimental like that.

9. ZZ and I were going to go to Dairy Queen today, but I think we're just gonna end up cleaning the house. It needs it, and how!

That's about it for now. I'm sure I've left something out. I'll blog again when something grows out of place.

Peace and Love,
Mungo
