Try round three for the blogging business, and lil ol' me is just wondering if this attempt will be successful (or at least a little more long term?) It's more of a way for eager pen pals to stop having to write "so... whatcha been up to?" after every single email, because sometimes there's just too much to say. Not that any of this will be more exciting that what I already write, but yaknow. A different medium, a little more excitement. We make it work.

Green like trees, did anybody notice that conscious stylizing?

For now, just the wonderful news that I'm about to head off to work in about 30 minutes for a hopefully wonderful Saturday night rush. Goodness knows that tomorrow for Father's day, the restaurant will be ridiculously busy-- and I pity everyone who has to work through that madness! At least it wasn't like mother's day when EVERYONE had to work. I think the server-to-guest ratio was like 2-1 at least. I have Sunday off, and my dad and I are going to Georgetown to go see some sort of live theater thing that he really wants to see... a community theater production of sorts that makes him happy. Can't be better than anything I've done, yaknow :D Not that I'm modest or anything.

Speaking of theater, I saw James C and Alison G yesterday at some sort of magic outing... for magic camp, there was nothing supernatural about the place or the time (Mimis, at 10ish) but it was super exciting to see them both again. I hadn't seen AG in forever, she's been extraordinarily elusive ever since we branched off from the same school, and James lives too far away for me to visit all that often, although Kris and Brandi visit quite a bit... hm... not to judge or anything ha.

I forgot to make reservations for tomorrow at breakfast so I guess we'll be doing a "surprise dad! I don't know how to cook so try to force these burnt eggs down your throat as best as possible, mmkay?" Bummer. His gift was supposed to be a phone but all my mother can say is "aren't there free phones he can get?"

Well yes. Duh. But that would be a sort of stupid gift. Besides, my dad wants something, deserves something perhaps, a little better than just a free phone. That's what he already has, and I know that he's been envious of those flip phones for awhile now. Something about making him look more important, haha. He's important.

Flight, accommodations, and reservations are perfect for my UMN orientation trip. I leave on the 10 July.
