Let’s dive right in shall we?
Biggest news is that we’ve been doing intense wedding planning. We have our place booked, the cake, dress, food, and maybe even all the guest list all set. July 29th, this summer, or just a few months away (for those of you counting at home) and we will be Mr. & Mrs. Rosa. Creepy aint it, how quickly we get older? Just this time last year I was procrastinating through March finals.
Work has been great, I’ve been working really hard and with all the has come many rewards. I have alot of great friends their and I was hired on Full time as a Safeco Employee despite their being other contractors who have been there longer. Of course it helps to actual work as hard as you can every day but we won’t get into the particulars. I get to move desks in the a more interesting area of the office and sit next to some guys who are closer to my age. I get paid a lot more and get way better benefits and get to take some more important calls and finally get involved in something beyond just answering calls all the time.
This friday we are going to a Sonics game… against the Timberwolves I think. Should be fun as I haven’t been for maybe 3 years and we are going with 2 of my friends from work and their spouses, so a triple date of sorts.
I’ve been pretty much off of WoW. I got up to 66 and just kinda lost interest. Mostly I’ve been playing Guitar Hero 2 and will be challenging my brother to a Jam off this Spring Break when he and his current lady friend come up to Seattle to visit us. Crackdown has also been a fun distraction but I’m coming to the end of that after maxing out almost all of my skill sets. I also have been chugging through Hotel Dusk, but stuck at the portion after the dinner, another one of those… “which random think do I have to click on to get this damn thing to advance?”
I started reading Sidney Poitier’s Autobiography. If you have ever seen him act or heard him speak (such as the Oprah Interview with Jamie Fox) he is as eloquent a writer as a speaker. Calm, reserved, full of wisdom and depth and yes I am aware their are co-writers and ghost writers but I doubt they could claim such a likeness to their false visage as you can find in this book.
Jen and I also finished the entire 6 feet Under Series, which is truly wonderful and the only thing in the last… 15 or more years that has made me out right cry. We started the acclaimed Sopranos as we both love a good Mafia flick and this show continues to deliver 3 seasons in. I just wanna shiv whoever has the 2nd disc of season 3 though, I’m sick of waiting weeks for whoever has them to return it. Speaking of not wanting to wait, we downloaded “The Departed” and “Mission Impossible 3″ on the Xbox 360 which turned out to be a worth while investment. It works like a rental and streams or downloads to your Xbox. It costs about the same as a new movie rental, especially if you consider the cost of gas. MI3 sucked but departed was wonderful.
The cat is over a year old now, she is still white and pink, and her body still to big for her little head, both figuratively and mentally. Other then that, things are well, if you still read this drop me a line if you ever see me online or better yet, call me on my ever elusive cell phone, as I tend to keep it charged and active frequently. No time for spell check or editing, this is raw and uncut!
