4 Day Weekend

Well, I only have an hour and forty five minutes now until I start my four day weekend. I don't really have anything major planned.
Tonight, I'll be watching the last Vikings pre-season game. I also want to catch Obama's DNC speech later tonight. I'm going to do all that while I shallow a couple beers. Tomorrow, I'll probably get up and go grocery shopping (my least favorite thing to do) and get it out of the way. Draw a little bit. Sit around and enjoy life. Maybe go for a cruise and take a couple snap shots of the city. Saturday I promised to help a friend move into his new place. That shouldn't take too long. The rest of the day will probably be spent watching some movies. Sunday, wash clothes, clean the inside of the 300 (has been needing it for awhile), Then do my Sunday cruise around the lakes (see whose out). Monday, I'll be relaxing and not thinking about work on Tuesday and the looming deadlines.

That's what I'll be doing for the next four days if everything goes as planned.

I''ll see ya in September!

I've been looking for this book forever!

I used to check this book out from the library at Lowell Elementary every chance I could get.
I couldn't remember the name of this book until I stumbled upon www.whatsthatbook.com
Where some nice person pointed me into the right direction. I can expect my copy of "the best sports book in the whole wide world" (which happens to be one of my favorite books of my child hood) within five to seven business days. Wahoo!
My life feels a little more complete now.

Anyone watching the DNC?

I've started my figure drawing course. Here's what I've learned so far. Invent don't recreate the human figure.

Slob was his name O

I wore a white shirt to work today... Why? Because I'm a risk taker like that. I was wrapping up a cup of coffee (a hybrid mix I slapped together). When I managed to dribble on myself. GREAT! I instantly went into recovery mode and dashed to the bathroom where I washed the stain out (the best I could, until I get a chance to shout it out at least). Then I went over to the screen printers area with my super wet somewhat stain free shirt where I threw it in a huge belt dryer that's going all the time. It took about six times or so and BAM! Back to normal, kind of... My shirt's a little damp yet. But I can deal with it. Part of living the slob lifestyle I suppose. Damp and slightly stained that's how I roll.

I managed to watch most of the movies I gathered for my movie marathon weekend. I ended up substituting a couple new one movies in pushing some others back. I caught The Incredible Hulk, which was pretty good, considering I'm getting burned out with the whole comic book hero fad. I also substituted "I Like Killing Flies" a documentary about a hole-in-the-wall Greenwich Village restaurant. The restaurant owner has some really interesting philosophies about life while some were crazy but entertaining if anything.

Overall I had a successful Zach weekend.

Thursday Living

I've finally seen Pineapple Express this week. I enjoyed it. I'd say more so than Tropic Thunder. Which is a completely different movie, I know. Pine Express was defiantly more brutal and gruesome then I imagined it would be. Which was an interesting twist to the comedy. Overall, if you want to see it I'd say see it. But if you're not in a rush it's a worthy rental for sure. I'm going to have to say my favorite comedy of the summer was Step Brothers by far. It made me laugh way harder then both Pine and Tropic put together.

I also caught a movie called Matchpoint last night. It was pretty good. I generally enjoy Woody Allen movies. I guess it's no surprise that I liked this movie. It just goes to show guys suck. That dude was one lucky guy.

P.S.
We're throwing a party in a couple weeks too and here's the flyer I made for it.
