Not Withstanding

What two weeks since an entry? Well, I have no excuse.

And really nothing much to say either.

I broke my prep sink (there really should be a better term for that) at work, pushing me behind a bit, adding a bit of tension as the body count climbed higher. This has been fixed, perhaps I'll post a photo; however it was fun listening to the same tired jokes again and again as the plumbing crew set about installing the newly fabricated sink. I had my first violin lesson, while I didn't get to play what I've been working on day after day after day, it was a good lesson. I was a bit nervous going into it, but that vanished a few notes into the first scale I played. The lesson itself seemed more interesting than any I remembered from the past (except the ones where I was yelled at for not playing music as written). More explanations of why things were instead of just being told what to do. I'm looking forward to this weeks...perhaps I'll take another day off to prepare for it. (Threw that in for you Jeri....).

Jarhead wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped, Walk the Line better than expected. Last night's Soprano's was odd, and we haven't finished watching Big Love yet. Speaking of Big Love, Kerry sent tracking numbers, and our presents should arrive tomorrow. I'll have to send his box out this week, otherwise Jeri is going to have my ass. Ok, she won't have my ass, she'll just steal the skull I picked up for him.

Speaking of skulls, the first skull my beetle colony cleaned is done. It's pretty slick looking, I really should take some pictures of it, and the colony in action. Jeri has forbidden taking the digital camera to work, and is insisting that I take her Pentax. I'm worried about something happening to it while it's in my custody.....

Seth, first, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I'm ready for a frosty mug of hops and some sort of mischief. Don't think I won't strut into that pub like Tom Membrila. (There's a guy at work, not really at work since he's in a totally different department that walks llike that.) Anyway, while reading the Pessin's boyscoutish blog entries, I clicked on the PALO VERDE link, and found a few myspace pages, Jeremy Baran, Tammy Keith, Rachel Brown, Koko Green and a few others. I'll have to find the links again and post them here. It seems like we're the only ones from that school who haven't deemed it necessary to procreate like fiends.

Will, still waiting on business proposal. Jeri says she's mailed invites to you and Seth for some sort of gala.

Guess Will is too busy saving lives to bother responding. Im actually working.

I'm guessing that your first comment was directed at Will? Radiology apparently requires an ability to handle dead people being brought in for MRIs.

Posted by: Joshua at March 21, 2006 11:59 AM

No, actually, I was refering to one of your old high school buddies. We all know what Will does. Gets paid to hold a clip board.

Posted by: doodle at March 21, 2006 06:35 PM

Now, Will does more than that. He also limits the amount of Cheez-its that people can have. That reminds me, I need to order a few clipboards. Why? Good question.

Posted by: Joshua at March 22, 2006 02:11 PM

Bad new ther Joshua. We have lost the cheeze-its. They are trying to m ake us more like California, and I guess that in California they don't have cheeze- its. I bet if we had a union this kind of non sense would stop. God dammit Jeri why must you mock my life saving. You know it's hard work all day sitting and doing nothing.

Posted by: Will at March 23, 2006 05:19 PM

Then why am i working my ass off, struggling to get home before 8pm every damn night? who do i talk to at the RC? If I could save lives and sit down, that would be ideal!

Posted by: doodle at March 24, 2006 03:38 AM

Get the fuck out of here....no cheezit? What's next, no Diet Pepsi? And how come no one mentions my life saving abilities?

Posted by: Joshua at March 24, 2006 07:38 AM

Point of no return....

Posted by: doodle at March 24, 2006 07:06 PM

We still have the diet pepsi. I spend my time with the pineapple juice however.Joshua I fugure you that you wouldn't even have to interview because of you alos save lives every day. Now can Jeri say she does what we do everyday when she gets home from work? Thats why you and I Joshua are on a higher level. We are on a platform and I have a feeling people look up to us. So we must set a good example. God we are good people!!!!

Fuck I can't spell

Posted by: Will at March 25, 2006 09:53 AM

I have a feeling someone over there might not consider my work to be life saving, but I should earn some merit points regardless. What colour is my smock? Does everyone gather round and play a bit of hot potato with the recently filled blood sacks? When do I report for training, or should I just show up?

Posted by: Joshua at March 26, 2006 09:26 AM

You might have to take a pay cut. Our society doesnt value saving lives more worthy than training doctors.

Posted by: doodle at March 26, 2006 10:40 AM

That settles it. If there's going to be a paycut, we will live out of the truck, hidden away on a mountain in Utah. I, will do odd, handyman jobs around town and you will lead drunk men on. Or, we could finally live out my dreams of petty thievery - yes, that's what we'll do..a band of thieves. Will?

Posted by: Joshua at March 26, 2006 09:10 PM

I have always thought that robbing banks would be alot more rewarding than having to go to work everyday. Lets do it Joshua, we just have to remember no firearms. The penalties are much greater if you rob banks with a gun. Also since we are only talking a few years in prison, can you and I share a cell? The bright side to this is we only have to share a cell if we get caught.

Posted by: Will at March 27, 2006 09:38 AM

Oh yah I know my idea wasn't petty thievery, but I figure we better go all of the way or not at all.

Posted by: Will at March 27, 2006 09:41 AM

(Just so you know, Jeri is going to accuse you of flirting....)

Like we're really going to get caught. It's all in the planning. And you're absolutely right, why stop at petty thievery. We will sort this out and get our plan together as soon as Jeri sends out those invites.

Jeri? Why the slacking on the invites, and no blaming Sonora Quest.

Posted by: Joshua at March 27, 2006 03:31 PM

I hate Sonora Quest.

Posted by: doodle at March 27, 2006 06:24 PM

May 8th Jeri Blank. I'm lovin it at the red cross. Your husband is joing the life saving crew with myself. It's time for you to realize sonora quest is gay and move to the red cross. I will give you all the info you want.

Posted by: Will at March 27, 2006 07:01 PM

Wait...what about the crime gang? Ah, I get it...an innocent cover of working at the Red Cross. That could be more malicious actually...
