Mocha Friday
April 23, 2010 by Adam in Adam
I'm slowly working my way through my Friday mocha, answering e-mails and chats and the like. I have some code to write, but it's of the fun sort that I'm actually eager to get to.
Joanna and I took Duncan and Berry to work briefly on Thursday. Thursday night was my bachelor night, full of errands and house chores. I returned all the Comcast equipment, bringing my monthly TV bill to $34 down from over $200. I might even shut down cable entirely if we go another month without watching TV. We'd be DVD and Internet only, which is fine by me.
Fortunately I balanced everything out by spending nearly $300 on a grocery shopping run. I found some good deals on syrup and the like, hopefully supplying us for months to come. I also ended up buying meat, feeling wholly inadequate with my purchases. Joanna wanted to make jerky, and hopefully I got the necessary ingredients. Finally it was home for laundry, making a big bowl of salad, and putting a few things away before heading over to Joanna's for the night. I tried to call the kids to check in, but they were watching a show and then it was bedtime. I'm excited to see them tomorrow.
Tonight Joanna and I are going to a pageant at a high school, a fundraiser for Children's Miracle Network. We'll take pictures and video, and hang out with teenagers. I'm secretly hoping I'll be crowned the pageant king, making up for years of neglect in high school.

Song Circle
April 08, 2010 by Adam in Adam
I said farewell to Sam and Emma Wednesday morning, worked away writing code, and headed to Joanna's house for dinner. There were fresh eggs from the chickens and steamed kale from the garden. Berry and Duncan were cheerful and funny, with not a single Tear of Suffering.
Joanna and I drove to song circle, the Droid guiding us through the sketchier parts of Springfield. We were the youngest people there, as usual, and the quirky gang was welcoming and funny. I ended up picking Janis Joplin's Mercedez-Benz and Take Me Home, Country Roads. It made for a fun evening and we snuck out early since it's a work night for us unretired people.
Seraph is in town and I'm going to watch her and Jenny get tattoos tonight. I'm the art resource, as they'll be getting one that matches what Sadie and I have gotten. I guess that means the four of us can get together when the Earth needs us most and transform into a giant robot. Or something.
