Well, I made a huge dent today, in the rearragning of things and getting the place ready. The biggest hurdle was my room. I had to get rid of a few things but the laundry held me back. But now the furniture is moved around and now all I have left (in theory) is all the boxes to unpack. I'm about a third done and it is only 1:30pm. The rest of the place is really just straighting up and becky's junk. The past few days have been really slow and I would only get a few batches of laundry done. Hopefully today and tomorrow will be the same in productivity and I'll be done by Saturday morning. I'll get back to work after this but I'll probably catch a movie for all my hard work about mid-day. Also from about 7-9pm, I have shows. But much progress has been made already. And more will be done today. Who knows, I might even be able to sleep in room tonight.
One more note, the is offical being thrown in honor of Megan's, Emily's, and My return home; as well as, Becky's promotion. A lot of you may not know Emily (M) but I do, she is a cool cat and is comeing back home for a few days and she just so happens to come in town on the 30th so I figured why not.
And no changes to the rest of the parties. If you didn't get an invitation to the parties that is because you are not in town. I have no idea when some people will be in town but of course you are welcome to any of them. Two at my place and one and Joe's. Any further questions can be addressed through email.

ECHO...echo...
Well, I've been trying to clean house and get settled in. I bought a few peices of furniture and am having difficultly in getting rid of the others that they are to replace. Anyway, lots to still. I have been home for about 2 weeks and frankly, I'm bored. It is taking me forever to get stuff situated. I'm still not unpacked yet. I need like a whole day to get things well underway, but as usual with being home and having cable...I get distracted. Admittly, I did rent Lego Star Wars II and had fun playing it. But, I stink, I have no clean clothes, and I just feel crudy.
Now, I'm not in a bad way. I just am lazy. I need a fire under my butt, or just to make some progress somewhere. I have a problem with doing one job until it is finished, if I can't finish it I can't start something else. I have a need to finish one thing first before starting another. Which may be why I got addicted to WoW. It forced me to start missions then come back to them after others were finished. It bugged me but I couldn't stop the game until I finished this one quest. Anyway, I been shredding a lot but I had to stop about an hour in cause the shredder over-heated. And now I'm on the net for like hours, waiting for the shredder to cool down. If I had help this would go faster and be finished in a day but I'm alone here (in theory). Jason works early and comes home late-ish then plays or does chores til becky comes home then goes to bed. Becky sleeps in and then does her thing outside of the house then is really tired when she gets home. I'm not blaming them, that is just how it is. I'm here all day and still very little gets done. No worries though. Eventually I get really frustrated then I just do a massive spring cleaning thing. I like doing that really, cause then I feel great about sitting and being lazy afterwards. Like I deserved it. But afterwards I like to go out to like a movie or something. Anyway, I'm just reflecting a little on how lnoely I was in Korea to now and though I have better access to everyone I still feel cut off, which, of course, is my fault but again is attributed my lazyiness and frequent distraction.

Lazy Days
Well, I've been home for nearly a week (shy by 10 hours). And the only progress I have made is a list of 'to do'. Course I did watch like fifdy movies and caught up on my Deadwood. I'm behind on Stargate and Atlantis. I'm not sure what else was on while I was gone but I am looking forward to Battlestar.
Anyway, of course parties are a topic of conversation. But as usual Becky forgets to invite people til last minute. Also, there is sure to be a party in order for Megan's arrival back. And one more added note, Joe is having a Halloween party about week before Halloween with a clergy theme; coma as your favorite religon sort of thing. Also, Becky has plans (more of an idea) for a Halloween party. Parties being thrown for me are somewhat confusing at the moment. Kat wants to thrown one, as does Becky.
As for an update, Its hard to accomplish much without vehical. I have a car during my mother's work hours, which is fine, but I tend to be active at night so that doesn't work perfectly (course what would work perfectly other than my own car). I was suppose to be able to borrow a car for a while but appaerently there was some mis-communitcation and now I am expected to pay for a car I intended to borrow til I got established. So I have to resort to the deal I am currently under. It isn't so bad.
Oh, ever since Korea, I didn't have a single back problem. When I got back and slept on the couch, I realized that it was a large attruibutor to my back problems so now I have to get the couch out of my room and get a bed. And while at it, a few other things to fix and clean up a few things here. So shopping is in order.

When in Rome, get the hell out of Dodge
Well, let's see. I was suppose to do something today...hmmm. Oh yeah, I'm coming home.
That's right, today's the last day of work and the last in Korea.
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go'
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Not really, I can't wait to be home finally. Have a burger, and some tacos, a proper ice cream (one that doesn't melt in the freezer).
So letme give you an update as what has happened so far. Well, I did get off my ass and do the whole tourist thing both Sat. and Sun. Saturday, what did I do? Hmmm, oh yeah, just climbed ass to the top of a freakin' mountain. Yeah, you heard me. A Freakin' Mountain in Korea. Just call me 'T the Mighty, Conquerer of foreign earth'. Oh, and stick my own foot in my mouth right about now, at the top...was a vendor selling food and water...okay, so it isn't like some K-2 or something. It's a mountain that most people climb a for really good exerise, but that doesn't make it any less of a mountain. The climb was just a path at first, then a rock road, then those peices of wood inbedded into the earth to look like steps (lots of those, and a really steep angle). After that, there was a really good rest spot with a vendor, ...but beyond that was the real climb, all the way to the summit. Nothing, but smooth and very large boulders. Now some of you may say 'so what, just a couple of big rocks' ever trying climbing a smooth surfaced boulder that is larger than you? I said "Fuck It", it was the last time I would ever have this chance as far as I know, so I'm climbing that fucker. And I did, in sandels, shorts, sleeveless shirt, sunglasses, and travel bag, completely decked out in tourist fashion surrounded by elite rock climbers in mountianeering gear. And at the summit, was another vendor. When I got the top I found out there was like 8 different trails leading here, all of varying degree of difficultly. I didn't feel stupid though. I don't know this part of Korea, I have no map for this mountain, at times I didn't even know if I was on a trail cause I hadn't seen or heard anyone in a while. It was as close to a life threating adventure as I was probably going to get in the city. It also turns out, that I was really close to the DMZ when I was up top there. There is this line is electric towers that borders the DMZ, that can be seen from the top of this mountain. Oh, but to make myself feel a little to big for my briches. WhenIgot back down the path, at the beginning, there were like five people who passed me carrying their bikes up the mountain. I felt like a newbie, but a newbie that did it all by himself :).
Then I went to see My Super Ex-Girlfriend (Monster House was sold out), it was funnier than I expected. Then I saw Monster House the following day. I loved it. Anyway, see you all when I get home.
