"My Couch Pulls Out..."

This year already seems to be flying by. It’s mid-April. I am going to College Station this afternoon, when I leave work. I am definitely looking forward to it, especially if it is even half the fun we all had last year.

So I went to get my hair cut yesterday in West Village and I had the same lady cut it as last time. Being the polite person that I am, I asked her how her week had been going. The rest of the time I was there she explained in detail how her week was un-folding, including the pain status of her kidney infection, which subsequently caused her to miss two days of work. Don’t worry, she got antibiotics and they seem to be doing the trick. My point to this one is: I guess I got what I was asking for, but normal people just give you a “glass half empty / glass half full” summation of the week. I think it is weird how some people share a lot of information with people they barely know. Like for instance, when I was in high school, I managed a dry cleaners and people would come in and tell us all sorts of gruesome details regarding their lives. Note to self: don’t be that guy.

Today I was reading a news article about a Twitter-War between Ashton Kutcher and CNN – to see who could reach 1 million Twitter Followers first. WTF?!? That is actually news in our country? Seriously, people… who gives a shit? Crappy News Network and the guy from Punk’d are tweeting. You can file that under stuff I will never lose sleep over.

I got Amanda and I tickets to go see Louis C.K. at Lakewood Theater in about 3-weeks. If you have never heard of him, definitely check him out on YouTube. Louis C.K. is an Emmy Award-winning stand-up comedian, writer, actor, producer and director, guaranteed to make you laugh.

I leave in exactly 5 weeks for Puerto Vallarta for Memorial Day weekend. There are about 10 of us headed down for a long weekend to stay at Adam Miller’s place. I know I just got back from Mexico, but this trip is too good not to pass up. We’d all been talking about it for a while, and you just can’t beat it! I figure, this will be my third trip to Mexico since the beginning of 2009. I am probably going to get harassed for frequent travel to the country. I swear I am not smuggling drugs. I am going to miss the Byron Nelson Classic this year because of this trip. That’s a bummer, but I am ready for a little fun in the sun.
We came in fifth place at Pluckers Trivia this week. I do believe we had the best team name though: "My Couch Pulls Out, But I Don't" (aweful, I know...)
