well.

it's april. APRIL. and 2008 has already been quite an interesting year, to say the least. aside from random house parties, strange club incidents, and losing a good friend to the east coast, things are pretty good. and as usual, it's been forever and a day since i last updated this thing (new year's maybe?) i guess i'll try and give you an update on things thus far.

actually, January and February were pretty uneventful for the most part. winding down from the holidays, dealing with the freaking rainy season, and birthdays galore. tho presidents day DH and I did his federal holiday bbq at an undisclosed location and i saw a freaking jellyfish. i saw a lot of jellyfish. i'd never seen one in real life outside of the Atlanta Aquarium (and i can't remember if i actually saw one there?) but the beach was littered with dead ass jellyfish. of course, i kicked one and had gunk on my shoe for like three days. can't recall anything else remarkable.

but march was a bit mor eventful. RC of st. paul fame finally got tired of the cold and said she wanted to go somewhere warm. i threw out Belize and the plans were born. SO...

we head down for like 6 days. too much to write down here but in a nutshell we saw Mayan ruins, drove all through the countryside (dirt roads galore, man), hiked through a jungle, went caving (sorta, and i almost got robbed by Banditos!), deep sea fishing, snorkeling, and a lot of hanging out on/near the beach drinking tons of Belikin Beer and One Barrel Rum.

so i get back and before i head back to work (mainly to deflate from the trip) i finally tackle the debacle that was my closet. i don't know where all the shit came from but i threw out/donatd like 8 hefty bags of shit and clothes and i still have one big bag i need to shred. i bought a shredder but it's so much shit i may need to burn it or something. i've also somehow accumulated a book bag full of change that i'll need to redeem at some point. i'm sure as hell not wrapping it.

and then, on Easter Sunday, there was Deep Fry: Episode V - The Artieries Strike Back(tm). yes that's a registered trademark and the idea is patented. so patented i don't think i'm going to tell you what it is. but i will say, there were a lot of near coronaries on that monday. that day was also the bring your own big wheel, but i didn't go. becuase i was too busy frying shit.

did i mention 4 of us got busted for drinking beer in the street? for no real reason? cops have other shit to do than bother 4 otherwise law abiding, job-having citizens, but i guess the little douchebag inside them couldn't resist. it's OK. i rested well that night knowing that they aren't me (who is?) and their punishment will be the rest of their pathetic lives.

things have a way of working out...

so i think you're up to date for the most part. if i ever return to more periodic rather than sporadic updates i'll hit you with more details. saturday is a wine tour (which i haven't done since well before i moved out here!) for NG's birthday. again! another birthday! but i think i'm caught up with the birthdays for a minute.

i think...
