I’m not driving up to the place on the hill where I was housesitting any more. They were supposed to be back today, so I cleared out and the only thing I have to return is the key to the door, in case they’re not back and they need me to check on something. I’m pretty sure they would have called if their plans had changed.

I get to sleep in my own bed! It’s kind of a step down, since I’m the only person I know who sleeps in a twin bed, but I’m used to it.

I spent most of the day catching up on paperwork, and now that I’m ready to hit the hay, I just remembered that I still need to mail in my amended tax form. I also finally bought my mom her birthday present, a bunch of scratch lottery tickets. She won $15 from $11 worth of tickets! It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

So I figured I’d sit here and watch the DVD they had, “Empire Falls.” I really liked the book; Richard Russo is one of my favorite authors but I’d never seen the movie. Instead, however, I ended up hanging out with my buddy Il and seeing naked women the only way we know how. I got what I deserved, however, and we ended up at a place where one of the dancers should have left her clothing intact.

Did I mention that I was interviewed by the Baltimore Sun? It’s an article about how people feel after being rejected by schools. I told the reporter that I felt like rejection was expected and that’s pretty much what I get on my online dating sites. She told me that everyone she’s talked to has had the same sort of experience on the online dating sites! At least it’s not just me.
