I am a tire that needs to be rotated...

Weekend Antics
I saw X2 TWICE this weekend, I forgot to mention that the other day...well by that time I had only seen it once but already knew I was going to see it a second time. So I'm a geek...not as much of a geek as Aileen, who saw it 3x within the same time frame that I saw it in, but nonetheless, a geek. I loved it though, and given the opportunity, I probably would take up another chance to see it. Fight scenes, comic book heroes, hot chicks, what else could you want?

Yesterday, after sleeping in and going to church w/ mom in the morning, I spent the remainder of the day and part of THIS morning in Irvine. I finally got the chance to go to Interfaith last night and see Father Pat. Man, I miss listening to his sermons so much. They always hit home with me, and really make me feel a lot better. I wanted to actually sit down and talk to him for a while, but as usual, he is quite a busy man, so I guess I'll just have to e-mail him or call him sometime this week. But I do enjoy our conversations, because he'll tell you things even when you don't really wanna hear it...and that's hard to do sometimes. So he always provides me with a good perspective on thigns. It was really awesome getting the chance to go there again, cuz I even got to see a few close friends that I had not expected to see. Caren and I went running too, which was a good change of routine for me, since I usually run on the treadmill as there isn't a close place for me to be able to run w/o being afraid I'll get jacked or something. And to offset that workout, Chris, Caren, and I hit up Alejandro's(The old Alberto's) later that evening, ha ha ha. So much for the workout! At least I got to burn the calories I would later take in a few hours afterwards. So all in all, my lil one-day vacation to Irvine was good.

So here I am, back in front of my computer...and this is what I'm thinking about:

I remember writing something about wondering where all the flies and mosquitos and stuff go when it rains...but earlier I was thinking about the opposite. What about snails and slugs? They always come out when it rains, but where do they go when it's like Africa Hot outside? Or not even Africa hot, just dry, and not rainy? Cuz apparently, they like it moist(moist, he he he, one of my friends hates that word...a lot), so when it's dry outside, do they all just dry up? Or do they dig way down below, and just chill? But you never see anything like snail holes or anythign like that. Or when you dig up earth, you don't uncover big nests of snails, do you? Hmmm...let's see, now if I were a snail, what would I do? I guess, I'd look for like a leaky outside faucet or something, like where the hose is connected and dig my way under there...that way, I could stay nice and moist...other than that, I think I'd just be worried trying to avoid someone stepping on me while on my way to my hideout. Crushed snails....BLECH.
