Wednesday night:

Rob came over, and I made him spaghetti. The only sauce I had was onion, garlic and something or other else. I didn’t think I’d like it, but after avoiding the onions, it turned out to be VERY tasty. Rob liked it too. I made “garlic bread” out of wheat hamburger buns with butter and Taylor Street cheese sprinkle on top. Oh YUMMMM. We also had a good conversation outside by his car.

Rob is always enjoyable company. πŸ™‚

Uploaded pix to Deviant Art site. I might be addicted to photo posting sites–but nothing will compare to my Flickr. πŸ™‚

What I did last night:

Finally fixed the time settings on my camera, so it wouldn’t say AM when it should say PM.

Decided I needed to figure out how to use the fully manual functions on my camera.

Went down to The Basement (inside Fat Eddie’s) to see Tony Lucca (of former MMC fame) open for Marty Casey (?) and the Love Hammers. Tony was amazing, but he wasn’t really meeting with any fans after the show, which sucked. I wanted a picture with him, so I could compare it to when I met him in 1993.

Was told by the guys that I wasn’t allowed to take pictures with my nice camera at the request of the band. AFTER I’d taken several of Tony already (not knowing this request). They’re afraid I’ll sell them.

I laughed at that. Seriously, who’d want to buy these?

Talked to a lady for a total of maybe ten minutes before she handed me $10 and told me to buy myself some drinks. $10!!! A total stranger!!

Hung out with a cool girl named Riley who let me play Erotic Photo Hunt with her. That was an interesting game. Imagine the Highlights game, where you have to find the differences in the pictures side by side, only a bit lot more raunchy. Oi!

I didn’t stay for the headliner, I’d gone to see Tony and I was hungry and tired, so I left. Had a late dinner from McDonalds, ate 8 of the 10 chicken McNuggets (eeek!) and loved every single moment of it. It had been a while since I’d had McDonalds.

Interesting things that happened today:

I went to get gas, and the pump said “Reserved.” I was confused. I stood there for a bit, considered changing pumps, but then the display changed to read something about downloading and resetting. I got the feeling that the price was going to change, and I was right. It came up 3 cents cheaper than when I’d pulled into the station! πŸ™‚

The rail road tracks by the house have been fixed, so it’s not full of 3847985798 potholes to tear up my tires, which I just got filled today. They’d needed it DESPERATELY. I also got my oil changed. Now all Little Ronica needs is a good washing, and she’ll be good. Not today, though. I am in for the night, and it’s raining.

I signed into Facebook, and since I’m a member of Mac (or Apple?) students, I get codes to download 25 free songs from iTunes ever so often. I did it a couple of weeks ago, and I got a new code today. Yay for new, free music! Even though it’s mostly by unknowns, but that’s okay.

I read the first four chapters of Daniel Pinkwater’s new book, and the first chapter of a book that Stephenie Meyer had started writing from Edward’s (of Twilight fame) point of view. Good stuff. I’m also reading Feed by M.T. Anderson. It was challenging at first, but now I’m finding it more interesting. It has loads of awards.

I had roast beast, mashed potatoes, and gravy for lunch. Yumm. I thought I wouldn’t be hungry for dinner, but that’s not the case. I could go for a repeat performance if you want to know the truth. Mmmm. Beef. I haven’t had beef in a while. Mostly pork and chicken lately. Or pasta.

I should go and get the mail. Except it’s raining. So yeah. About that.

Things I need to do this weekend:

– my hair
– laundry
– CLEAN
– clean out my car

Next weekend, I go to Chicago! Well, LaSalle, IL first for a wedding, then Chicago Saturday night and Sunday! YAY!! So excited. πŸ™‚
