So let’s talk about today and tonite.
I slept in til around 10:30ish and Tamara was doing her house thing here getting ready and such for her night away and I sort of half woke up, talked to her a bit, and eventually helped her pack the car, and off she went. It was not long after I went out myself and got a sausage as I always do on Saturdays.
I came home and watched some Star Trek Enterprise that I had burned seeing as I had caught a glimpse of an episode on the Space channel and wanted to watch the whole story arc so I watched that, and then a bit of TV. Somewhere in there, I watched the end of Matrix 3 and then thought I would go down to Walmart and Future Shop to see how much that Matrix box set was. I also wanted to check up on the NEW Faith No More album. Yes. New album.
In fact, when I checked Caca Volante not that long ago, there was a post about FNM’s third Greatest Hits album. I didn’t even know there was a second greatest hits album released. After doing some digging, I did find it online. I was very surprised and very curious as to why the label would release 3 greatest hits albums for a band that has now been dead since 1998. I suspect they are trying to soak a cash cow somehow.
Oddly enough, I would like to buy both, but unlike myself about 10 years ago, I do not feel compelled to do so. The CD’s have nothing new on them and I have them already and since the band is now defunct, I would rather put my money on new material, instead of rehashed stuff I have heard a hundred times. I’ll check out Patton’s new stuff this year with a minor glimmer of hope that it’s not shit like a lot of his stuff has been. Who would have thought me of all people wouldn’t want to buy a Faith No More album? Times have changed eh?
That brings us to an interesting encounter at the mall. Usually it is Tamara that runs into people she knows but this time it was me. I bumped into Jason Vautour. For those of you who don’t know that name, he is the brother of Jennifer Vautour, formerly Jennifer Klem. He is doing well and was telling me all about his job and seemed to be in good spirits which is always nice. It did however get me to thinking about something. In a city this small, I have bumped into him enough times that I can’t recall how many. I have bumped into Jenn’s friend Heidi, and other people that know her. Yet somehow I have yet to bump into her. A few close calls, but never actually really crossing paths. I think there must be some kind of divine intervention involved in that. I just think it’s kind of funny. You know now that I have said this, me and Tamara will be at the mall or something next week and bump into her. Hehehe.
With regards to other things on my mind this evening, or I guess it would be morning since it’s almost 2am, I bought a paper today, and there is a seat sale for flights to Edmonton between now and next week. You have to take the flight before mid-April. Works out to about $580 round trip which is not bad. In fact, I did some math with Canjet to Calgary for August when me and Tamara are taking vacation and the price isn’t bad at all. I’m pondering the whole going out west thing again.
See, I don’t know entirely what to do. I have not heard a thing from my dad so as far as know, he’s fine, and just not bothering to tell me about anything going on for some sort of selfish reason. I would certainly like to know what the hell his problem is? In fact, if I had $1000, I’d take a trip within the next few weeks, show up, ask him wtf his deal is, and just say what I need to say. Unfortunately, money doesn’t rain from the sky, and I have classes to teach.
So I’ve been pondering a lot. You know, I’m glad Tamara doesn’t go away very often because I think when she does, I get way too philisophical and wondering about things. It’s not an over thinking thing, just events that happened today that got me to thinking about a few things. Nothing serious folks. All is well. In fact, I need to go to bed soon.
Don’t forget to check your InBoxes for email from me regarding poker night. Please reply when you can (as in IMMEDIATELY) and here’s to having a good night’s sleep tonite. *yawn* Outta here folks!
