Just finished watching: South Park-Season 12 
Now watching: Sopranos-Season 6 pt 1 
haven’t updated in almost 2 weeks but been pretty busy. saw the big lebowski on the big screen at liberty hall in lawrence with jake last weekend. such a great movie, glad to revisit it with a nice big crowd while drinking a few beers. went to yet another wedding last weekend, a friend of abbie’s. that makes 4 weddings i’ve gone to in the last 8 weekends. that better be it till mine cause i’m tired of em for now.
last week i had my requisite 2 days a month of classroom training with the railroad. at least they are doing something with those 8 days a month they are paying for. not really sure how much longer that will last me though, i’m hoping a few more months cause once it goes away i lose my health ins (and will rely solely on railroad unemployment). business is picking up a little bit (more a result of typical seasonal boosts), just enough to hold off more furloughs, but nowhere close to getting me back to full-time. i completely blame the current administration for my continued lack of work. railroads are one of the chief indicators of economic activity/recovery and our CEO here at Union Pacific RR has basically said (in a very telling video interview) they expect things to be slow till 2011 and they have seen no impact from “stimulus”. sigh. hope you all are happy with your “hope and change”. things are still projecting to get worse in this country. inexcusable. cancel your retarded stimulus, quit roadblocking companies, cut corporate and capital gains taxes, and lets get this s%#t moving again (see below). sorry, can’t help it. it just pisses me off that this country got so caught up (and still is, though its eroding slowly) in a personality rather than logical fixes to things.
other than that i’ve been helping abbie with some wedding plans, mostly i’m focusing on planning our honeymoon to san antonio/gulf coast. gonna spend a week down there, we are driving down. we are pretty excited for it. the other thing we have been trying to finish planning is the rehearsal dinner. its about done now. next week is gonna be all about moving into our house, which happens on friday. technically i’m not moving, but a lot of my bigger things will move there.
after next week’s moving, abbie has her wedding shower and for me it’ll be fireworks/golf week with my family, usually my favorite time of the year!
if u have free time….watch these. educate yourself.
