Weekend Update with Brian Bass
And now for the weekend update. Friday started off bad as I came home to a house that was 88 degrees. Apparently my air conditioner broke down. I then decided to go someplace cool and saw the movie "The 40 year Old Virgin". It was pretty funny in some places. In others it appeared to go bone dry. Also there was a schisking scene of which I had to close my eyes. Apparently if a movie doesn't have vomit in it, it is just not funny. There were many crude jokes made in it as well. I would not recommend it to an audience that is easily offended. But, if you are not offended easily it was pretty funny. After the movie I went over to Peetey's house because there was no way I was going to spend the night in such high temperatures. I was planning to go to Hurricane Harbor the next morning but I had to cancel that to get the air conditioning guy out. When he came out he filled it with freon and told me I had a leak in one of my coils. In order to replace it it would cost me $1500. Anyway I told him I would only do it if my house couldn't stay cool(its in the 100s out here). Fortunately it did cool down and by the afternoon I went to Hurricane harbor and caught up with my Sunday School class. It was pretty fun. I didn't go on the Geronimo slide but I went on the one right next to it that almost goes straight down. That was fun. Hurricane harbor was missing one important feature of any swimming pool - A High Dive. When I was a kid I used to love going as high as possible and jumping off. High dives were cool because for an instant it felt like you were flying. We had a good time anyways. Then we all went to a local Italian theme restaurant called Buca Debepo. It was "family-style" in which they bring out large bowls of Italian food and you take what you want. The food was really good. I then went home and spent the rest of the night cleaning for my party the next night. I missed church again, but went to Sunday school and also fed the homeless. The prayer and praise night was really good. I got to play guitar for everyone and we all had tons of prayer requests to go through. Every little bit helps I always say. Everyone didn't leave until midnight, so I was all worn out from the weekend. Now I need another weekend. Reality is this week I am going to be doing a lot of work. Bring on the Red Bull and No Fear.
Thought of the Day
"Don't interrupt the cycle. The machine is working. It knows what it's doing. Just let it finish."
"You're going to overdry it."
"You can't overdry."
"Why not?"
"The same reason you can't overwet."

our weekend wasn't too eventful. On Friday night, we cooked on the grill. We made steaks, pork chops, and chicken legs. I imagine we eat on them through out the week. Friday night, the old lady was watching "The Aviator" in the living room, while I was watching those "Enterprise" episodes downloaded by Mr. T. They definately had some inventive writers. Saturday, I mowed the yard, and did the usual weekend chores around the house. Saturday night, I took my two ladies out to dinner and for an ice cream cone. Sunday, we mainly played with the kido and finished up chores. Nothing too exciting. I'm looking real forward to the 3 day weekend coming up.

My weekend was great! Friday the band jammed. We really made some progress - the keyboardist didn't show up making it easier to change things around to fit a more guitar centric theme. I stayed up till 3 that night talking politics with the lead guitarist who is a conservative lawyer who actually pays attention to the news. I appreciated talking with someone who had a political science back ground as I do that was able to analyze things from a less emotional point of view. // Saturday was awesome (does anyone still use that word?). I went to visit the peace movement at Crawford this weekend and had a life changing experience. I met with soldiers back from the war, parents and family who had love ones over there, parents who had lost children, Vietnam veterans, Mrs. Sheehan, Joan Baez (a famous vietnam protester), people from all parts of the country, War supporters, and generally lots of people who care about our country. It was so very interesting and I will have to elaborate on things the next time I see ya'll. Anyway, I have students coming in so I have to go.
