I am a small sigh of relief...
Check this out. I took these while I was in the shower last night...and NO, no x-rated pics, don't worry...he he he. But look! This one is like totally facing the showerhead! This camera is freakin awesome!
You can't really see me here...
but how cool is that?!?!?!?
It's not an excuse!!!
Anyway, so I didn't go to work yesterday, and I should probably say why, because it's an interesting story and my coworkers though it was a pretty creative excuse. A little background... I already didn't get much sleep over the weekend. Friday, beeb, Jos and I went to my cousin's b-day bash at the White Lotus. Originally it was supposed to be Garden of Eden, but some sort of mix-up got us to White Lotus instead. We stayed there til about 1:30 and then went to Yoshinoya's where we met up w/ Averell and Ai and were there til about 2:30. We got home at like 3:30 and slept at four. The next day, woke up early to work out and then hung around the house and went to SD for Caren's grad shindig in Coronado...another long drive, another late night. Got home at around 1 or 2, but I was up til 3:30AM doing some laundry...I had to have stuff ready and dried for saturday. So that brings us to Sunday. After a day of goin to see Father Pat, tryin to check out St. Timothy's and hanging out w/ beeb's old coworkers, having a "bbq" and going to watch X-men 3, which was okay, at best. Anyway, so I finally get home, talk to my sister for a while, get ready for bed and then talk to beeb before going to sleep. So things are starting to get quiet and that's when I hear them...the high frequency sound of insect legs rubbing together...the animal kingdom's natural violinists IN my room. Yes, there were a few Jimminy Crickets IN MY ROOM! So while talking to beeb, I couldn't not stand it and had to find them. After about what I think was an hour, I find them and kill 2 crickets. It was hard as hell sneaking around my room trying to be quiet so I could first, locate the sound and then to sneak up on them and smash them. Beeb went to bed and I decided to finally lay down. After about a minute of my eyes being closed...I hear ANOTHER one. I try to sleep it off, pretend that I'm camping or something, but I just can't get it out of my head. I'm NOT camping...I'm in my room! So after about an hour of struggling and fighting, trying to fall asleep amidst this now annoying as hell sound, I get up and start to look for the damned thing... Apparently, this cricket learned from the deaths of his mates, because when ever I would move around my room, he would stop. He would wait like 5 minutes before starting to make his sounds again...so it took me a long ass time to find him. He was underneath my dresser and I had to first chase him out of it and get him into the open and then I finally got the upperhand and got him. I finally got to go to bed at 4AM. So I could NOT get up on Monday morning, and called work at about 8 to tell them what happened... and they laughed and laughed and told everyone at work...grrreeeaat... so there ya have it. That's why I didn't go to work yesterday. I slept in until 11:30...it was quite nice :)
