December 2003

I actually feel like I got some stuff done today.

I got 15 calls in tonight, which isn't great, but it's a record for me. I also got some stuff for C for Christmas, ran into the girl that lived above me in Darrow that was in one of my English classes, I bought some insoles for my flizzat feet, mailed out 2 7"-es I had sold on e-Bay, tried (and failed) to get ahold of 3 pastors and even slept in till 11 (shhh, don't tell Carrie).

I'm going to go grocery shopping (with my mom's card). I've had a good day though.

I don't want to work the next 3 days and I definitely don't want to work for 11 hours for two of them!

Well, yeah.

Carrie came up and we went to a wedding for Andy Trapp and Natasha (Natalya). It was good and interesting. We danced… I liked it. Okay, so get this, Natasha is Russian, born there; her fam moved to Erie about 5 years ago and have lived here since. So, when the Bridal Party came in, they played Eye of the Tiger… all I could think of was Rocky IV when he fought the Russian (Ivan Drago). I laughed really really hard!

We found a great apartment for C as well. It’s a house that is less than 4 blocks from Mike and Carol’s. The bottom floor was a chiropractors office until just recently and the top floor was occupied by 2 old women. Anyhow, it’s a one room with a living room and a kitchen. The guy that owns it also owns a car lot next door and apparently he sells to a guy who does carpet, so he’s getting the whole upstairs recarpeted before she moves in as well. When we went to take measurements, he was asking why she was moving to G.C. and when we told him about Crusade he goes, “Wait, let me think about this for a second.” (Proceeds to put his hand on his chin and seriously think.) “Well, I like what you’re doing, so I think I’m going to knock about $50 off your rent, also there is a garage behind the house that has an electric door on it – I’ll give you access to that and you can use the office space downstairs as long as there is noone renting it for your own office or anything you need it for.”

So, she’s getting the house for $500 utilities included (not phone or cable). The guy is pretty reputable and he seems like a good guy. I’m for real excited for her… now I just need to get done with my support.

Oh, and All Sacred was in the paper today… Here. We’re changing our name to Joel Quiggle and the All Sacreds.
