it's been a bit of time, and for that i apologize.

what have i been doing for the last week? drinking. and complaining.

i believe i had the longest 'get-drunk-on-consecutive-nights' streak of my life this week, as monday night, tuesday night and wednesday night in dayton saw me imbibe. (thursday was a 11 EDT to 430 CDT bus ride...) man that makes me sound lame. i also imbibed on friday. that's a pathetic longest career streak, i guess. i was supposed to make it 5 of 6 nights yesterday, but could not for various reasons, related to the second thing i've been doing.

the highlight was most certainly on tuesday, when my pal nemo made the trip to ohio to join in on the fun. for his appearance, i am appreciative. however, dude left in the morning. didn't even leave a note.

former ticket manager fred, whom few have met but a few more may have heard about, was in this weekend. he wound up crashing at my place both friday and saturday. he's capable of brightening up a week.

he certainly brightened up friday, during which we imbibed. however, last night was an 11-inning game and it was late and sunday's are way too short to get much done and i was frustrated (see next paragraph) so i just headed home to get back to work. the soundtrack was nirvana's in utero, which has hooked me a bit.

and why the complaining? because the past two weeks saw me watch baseball in appleton (a pretty nice environment), kane county (an unmatched environment) and dayton (an environment only slightly less exciting than kane's) before returning back home to our environment. (not such a good one) it's saddening. or maddening. or just anger-inducing.

but there are only two weeks left, so that's cool.
