A portrait of my friend Nicole
Home again for the weekend, and this time my girlfriend is off in Nevada at the Talent Quest national competition. She sings for the final five tonight, so here’s hoping for the best. Meanwhile, I’ve had an absolutely unprecedented amount of free time the last couple of days, so I’ve been up to an awfully lot more lazing about and television watching than usual, along with the occasional bit of something interesting or productive.
The Danie in front of a backdrop
Came home for the weekend again Friday, and went straight from class at UCF, to pick Danie up and eat dinner at USF, to Ellenton to take her to band practice, and finally back home to Bradenton. Needless to say, I was happy to finally get home. Then we did the usual Friday night karaoke, and this morning I finally got a haircut…for the first time in five or six months. Then we went to a cousin’s birthday party, and came home, where I resolved to finally photograph the Danie in front of a roll of seamless paper.
Director and lead actor
Now I’m in the middle of a four-day weekend, thanks to a skipped Friday and Labor Day on Monday. Friday was my girlfriend and I’s 2.5th anniversary, so I went ahead and took the day off of school and came home Thursday. That night we surprised the folks at our small group by showing up on a Thursday, and ended up playing a ridiculous game of cranium. I maintain that my drawing of the grand canyon (with accompanying donkey) was truly exceptional, but apparently the others beg to differ. Then we did Thursday karaoke for a change, and then I actually got to sleep in on a Friday.
