For those of you who don’t know me well, I am not really the car washinh kind of guy. This worked fine when I had my Jeep, but the Pacifica looks really bad after several weeks without a wash. Also, my dad really wants me to start keeping my car clean, so I decided to take it to a car wash. There are two of them within a quarter mile of my apartment. I don’t know how well it is going to work, because the car wash didn’t dry it very well, but it looks clean right now.

This month is shaping up to be my slowest month of blogging since the inception of this site. Hopefully, it will remain as the slowest month for many more months.
I was thinking about how few entries I have been posting lately, and wondering if some of my friends and fellow bloggers are possibly posting more frequently than usual to coax me back into blogging. If so, I appreciate it. For some reason, when I see that someone I know is blogging more, it makes me want to blog more frequently. Of course, the same is sometimes true when I see someone drop blogging from thier life for a month or so, but that tends to make me commit to staying regular with posting. Time to go read a few more to see how the rest of my friends are doing.

Last Thursday I rented Fable for XBOX, and I have been playing it off and on for the last few days. It is an interesting game made by the EA subsidiary that put Black and White together. In the game you run around as this little adventurer guy doing different deeds throughout the guy’s country, which reminds me of the British Isles in a way.
The interesting part of the game is that you run around doing deeds, but you can do good deeds or evil deeds and still progress through the game.

This past weekend I relented to Joy’s requests to leave Orlando again (after being here just two days) and headed down to Fort Myers after mere three hours after getting off from work. I left even though I badly needed sleep, and I left quickly so I could just drive home and crawl into bed…
This past weekend was a nightmare. Sure we got things taken care of for the wedding etc., but things just got crazy during and after that. I think that most of it has to do with me sleeping through a phone call (that I answered while sleeping, I gather) and then missing a dinner with Joy’s parents that I didn’t exactly know about.

I started using netflix when I was still at UF with my roommate at the time, Mike. We had a pretty neat deal going. The cost of Netflix was $19.95/month for three movies out at a time. Mike and I would split the cost each month and we’d each pick one DVD on our own and then decide on a movie to watch together in the living room at night. We did this for a while, and I canceled the account when we moved out and I went off to do Southwestern.

Today Joy and I went to Target to start our first gift registry for the wedding. This whole process is actually pretty cool. You walk up to a kiosk and fill out a number of electronic forms and then the kiosk tells you to go to guest services, where you get a few sheets of instructions, a catalog, and a scanner. Once you get all that you walk around the store scanning barcodes connected to the merchandise you want uploaded into your registry. Very nice. Very nice.
The fun part of all this is that I had chosen to wear a bright red polo shirt with white slacks and my Banana Republic dress shoes. As soon as I got this scanner, a provacatively dressed young woman walks up to me and starts asking me some questions about random things. To make things stranger Joy was missing from my side, which was a shock to me. So, to recap, I turned around from waiting in line at guest services to get this scanner and notice that Joy is missing. I walk a few steps and this girl is asking asking me seemingly random questions and she is really wanting some help.

I need some more balance in my life — as usual.
This week I noticed that the imbalance of my time spent with people and time spent alone is really hard on me. I pretty much need to go out and spend time with people socializing and interacting in some way with people I know. I also need to spend time alone to reflect on my life, relax, and do things that require my focus like writing and studying.
