I am surprised, yet pleased that David Cook won the idol crown. I predicted that Archuletta would take it b/c he's more "idol," but that d.c. would sell more records and be more famous in the end. In fact, this may be a detriment to d.c. who will now have to sing the business that idol gives him rather than taking off in his own direction. worked for Carrie Underwood, I guess. We'll see.
In other news: I have one day of college left. I have barely studied for my test tomorrow, but I don't care that much. c's get degrees, yes?
also: mike is off drunkenly playing softball. mayhaps say a prayer that he doesn't take one off the noggin.

the haps
so here's what it is: after a little over 2 years of training, mike is now a certified professional controller~! celebration ensues. of course, this now means that he will most likely have more regular midnight shifts, like the one he has this evening, and i will be scared and all alone in my bed tonight. i am a light sleeper as it is, i don't need to worry about every creak and rumble that i hear. i am having a tequila/pink lemonade and watching pretty woman to calm my anxiety.
the other transactions include 4 more days of college for me and 13 days until closing on our house. predictably, Mike is getting really sentimental about leaving the apartment. we had a walkabout the grounds today and he got all nostalgic about what he'll miss about the place. sweet really. here's hoping he'll get jazzed about the new house and not cry every day about bristol station.
additionally, my dad had his 300th win as a high school baseball coach. i guess all those years of living across the street from the ballpark have really paid off. way to go, coach.
and that's the news for now. stay tuned for the great job hunt, 08.

because we won't get our deposit back anyway...
coming up on two years ago, mike and i received some rather unconventional wedding gifts from our dear friends jim, paul and deuce. at the time i laughed and enjoyed the drawing of how to properly use them, but still wondered when in fact we would actually make use of our new super soakers. normally mike just shoots me from the spare bathroom as i'm sitting on the chair and a half and i get mildly upset, but last friday night, their true purpose was revealed.
it started out as a typical enchilada party starring the usual suspects, ham and the newlyweds. we were having a fabulous time, eating too much and enjoying our respective beers, shots o maker's mark, pre-mixed smirnoff cosmos (which i highly recommend as it were) and a lovely champagne toast. then, somewhere after the screening of the new film sensation "news" starring Mike Headrick, there erupted a small confrontation between mike and takash where in i believe h suggested mike "get the super soaker." well it doesn't even take one beer for mike to hop to that one, so you can imagine his zest after about 5 and subsequent bouts with the whiskey bottle. and thus began the indoor water fight of 2008.
takashi hurried to grab the other soaker, sam, caught in the cross-fire grabbed a patio chair and backed takashi into the bathroom wherein he fell into the tub. Aya, mercifully hid all the electronics and newly acquired Japanese artifacts that shant want to be "soaked" and h and i retreated to my bedroom where we preceded to dig into our new supply of Swissotel amenities, located the shower caps and promptly put them on. Somewhere in there, Sam joined us and donned his own shower cap. we then searched for a combat weapon and could only come up with mike's netti pot which we took turns opening the door to the brigade of ss's and tossed at whomever may be close by. the only casualty being aya, whom h unwittingly doused. in the end, everyone and everything was covered in water and there were some sore mid regions from all the belly laughs.
so consider this a sincere, important blog tribute to the best wedding gift ever. we may have to break in the new house in a similar manner before we repaint. all are invited to join.
