Ducky Does What Ducky Does

So today I worked for another 8 hours or so, got to prepare the store for the visit from the district manager tomorrow (meaning vaccuming for 50 minutes, and dusting every surface in the front of the store). At least there was absolutely no one actually shopping today. I guess everyone's back in school/at work/sleeping and not mall shopping these days.

I also saw "Saved" tonight, and yeah it's good stuff. It definately got lots of stuff you can sympathize with growing up in the "Bible Belt", and haven't we all met the Hilary Faye type person before? Oh, if you haven't seen the movie I bet you are now just so curious about what I meant by that last statement.

Jay gave me a CD by the band Extreme called "Three Sides to Every Story". Most people know the band from the song "More Than Words", but trust me there's a whole lot more to this band than that song gives them credit for. Excellent guitar playing, some prog-like elements and excellent vocal harmonies make up the album, and I love it. It's always good to be turned on to music you didn't know exsisted, especially coming from Jay who knows mostly everything about good music.

I got the CD on Saturday at the Sam Goody "holiday" party (I guess it was still kind of the holiday season?). I didn't get to that thing until about 10:30 since I was at dinner and hanging out with Luke, Catherine, Matt, Christy AND Joe (amazingly we all actually met up for once). It was great eating and jazz music at Mexicali Grill and then we all headed off to Luke's for some Apples to Apples. After the game, we just chilled there for a while and shot the breeze, so to speak. It was great to see everyone there but most everyone's break is ending soon, which seems just too weird. Last year I spent a lot more time with the old high school group when I got home, mainly since I had been out of state anyway for three months. So I guess a reunion just seems less eventful now that I'm in Tennessee basically year-round, but it's still good to get back together with everyone over the break.

So Oyok needs to get back together soon, or else school will start and then we know what happens then. So unfortunately today today didn't work out since I had to put in my time at the Goody, but please call me Ben or Luke if you wish to re-invent Seal or get into other generally crazy musical universes.
