Can There Be Too Much Down Time?

So you know how I say I look forward to fall b/c of football season, and things like that?

Well, when I wake up an it's 64 degrees in my aparment, I realize I'm full of shit.

So here's the thing. You'd think with the abundance of free time I have, I'd be writing more often. You know, except not.

Problem is, other than some studying, a break to go for a bike ride, another one to maybe play a few video games, and the occassional errands, I don't so much DO anything. Having a ton of free time during the day when you're an undergrad? Pretty cool. Same thing at 27 when everyone else has a real job? Not as much. And yes, I know that I have plenty going on taking my last four classes, and that I'm "accomplishing" something, but still, being home everyday when the mail comes? If this is what my mother felt like when I was growing up, I'm surprised she didn't go insane.

Wins, Losses, and getting Drunk Somewhere in Between

After a little harrassing, some sleeping in, and a crap load of reading, it came to my attention that I'm not updating much, AGAIN. I get it.....

So, this is going to be a quick little rundown post, and I'll try to do better going forward.

Last weekend was pretty much completely out of hand. Drew and Diane had their "housewarming" party on Friday. This was basically code for "we haven't had everyone over here to get drunk since we moved in, so lets do it."
Either way, I can walk there and back, so I'm fine with it. Plus there were door prizes. I won a bottle of wine, that I'm sure I'll drink at some point. (Really, I'm sure it's good, I just don't drink wine all that often)

Saturday, we won our first football game of the season 28-24. We actually looked relatively competent. We'll see how long it lasts.

Saturday night we went to the Fox and Hound to watch the Buckeyes beat up on Texas. That was decent, except I was exhausted from Friday, knew I had to get up early on Sunday, and it was, oh, in Parma. Parma is two things. 1) Far from my house and 2) Quite densely populated with white-trash idiots.

Sunday was Browns tailgate at 7 am. Well, roughly 7 am. Some people slowed us down a bit, which worked out okay. One annoying thing about all this though. We parked in the Municipal Parking lot, which is where a lot of the fans park that like to tailgate early. Now, it's a huge lot, and people typically save a spot or two for friends who are coming later. That's something that we had to do. Small problem. They CLOSED the lot at 8:15 am, when there were still a lot of spots open! Made no sense. All they did was cost themselves money. SO dumb. So, people had to haul stuff around that they had no intention of hauling around. It was classy, really. City of Cleveland, A+ as always
