Current mood: blah
Subject: Back from Detroit
I dunno, is it just me or does riding even long distances in the car (even short periods like 3 hours at a time) make you feel 'blah'?


We went to Detroit after church yesterday to go to a Tigers game, to coincide with meetings and interviews my dad had to go to today (Monday). Turns out the game was at 1:05 and the paper said 7:05... so we spend about a day total in Detroit and didn't get to do what we planned... but despite complaints and the blame-game my mother and sister tried to force on my dad and myself, we made the best of it (well, at least dad and me). We passed the stadium in time to see everyone leaving, so we drove around magnificent downtown Detroit (anyone who didn't understand that was sarcasm should be put on the People-mover to be shot by fellow riders) and we went to Greektown. After taking in some Gyros and Mousaka (sp?) we drove thru Centerline for a while (note: find out what the hell is the obsession with resteraunts slapping "Coney Island" on their signs..,) and saw 8 Mile road. (pop-culture landmark even my parents understood)

We then took in a movie; Finding Nemo for 3 of us, Bruce Almighty for Mom (note: Mom is the children's librarian who loves books for 7 year olds but she has no interest in seeing a Pixar film, even if adults like those films too) and we all had a great time. Today dad went to his interviews (we're hopeful he gets this promotion) while the rest of us went to Target. After the interviews we all went to 12 oaks Mall in Novi (I dunno, for being a guy this shopping trip wasn't bad. I test drove Soul Calibur 2, got to sit inside a Mini Cooper and a Cadillac XLR, and got to marvel at about a 1000 kinds of Fossil watches) Then we came home.


I have to work Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Ruth Ann's and my usual Weds/Fri lunches at Main Street. Wednesday I have to leave band practice early because I have to go somewhere. But I need to find time to do something with Insa while she's back in America.


That's it for now.


Oh Yeah, and I had my first Krispy Creme today. yum.

Detroit was just as scenic as it always is, I presume? Well if you think 3 hour drives are bad, try drivnig to new york (13 hours!).

I never said 3 hour drives were bad, they just made me feel "blah". and if you've forgotten, I've done the 20 hour caravan trip from Massachusetts to Saint Louis. Up at 4 AM and in St. Louis at 11 PM (you gain an hour)

Now that I am back into the woohu swing of things I can find time to reply to your insightful entries. Out of all of that I have one comment to make. Krispie Cremes are excellent! F.Y.I. If you are hooked them sell them at D&W...Just a little known fact there. I haven't seen you online lately, maybe because I think I forgot to put your new randomperson sceenname on my buddy list. (I mean I still have the fury and deity ones.) Are there any numbers after RandomPerson, or is it just that simple? Well Nice talking to your inanimate journal Andrew, I hope this is not the only time I will do so. *Lauren* (I sounded so nice in that comment I bet you didn't recognize me!)
