in the summer time

well the weather may not be hot yet (praise be to God), but things are really heating up here at the manor in whittier. lots of people are in and out, more in than normal, and everyone is pretty happy about it. there has been lots of sitting on the porch, knocking back of cold ones, and sharing in smoke and merry-making. i sold my mercedes today, so we celebrated with a half rack of rolling rock, a pack of smoke, a whole round of laughing cow cheese and a box of classic wheat thins. the afternoon wind stirred our hair and our spirits. it will be an afternoon to remember.

i am nearly through with my second lord of the rings book for the week, the two towers. i am excited to being the third book because i have not yet seen the movie, unlike these first two. i am hoping to finish the trilogy this week before i start work next week and my all day reading times will be interupted. until then i think i will continue to consume tons of coffee while reclining in my room with a breeze sweetly blowing through my window.

in other news, this weekend should prove to be an exciting one. i am seeing the sheep play in fresno on friday night, then hanging out with amanda in wasco until sunday night. monday is my birthday and i am looking forward to spending it with much mirth and friend time. maybe i will get some fun and cool things. right now i am just content with hanging out and reveling with friends. im happy to be out from under the benz too, its always nice to be able to pay off a large set of debts too.

anyway, what's up with you ---->
