Let's Catch Up!

It's been awhile since I last made an entry so here is what is up in the life of Anthony.

Holidays
I went home to Salem, Indiana to spend thanksgiving with the family. After threatening to live once, I stayed until the following day. Would love to spend more time if some of them would be more respectful to others.

Butler Basketball
The season has begun and I have attended every game, except one to date. So far, we are 5-0. Wednesday night was the a close one though, they beat Northwestern 57-53. I was on my feet for the last 3 minutes of the game and a nervous wreck. I think I was more tense then right before they announced Nicole Kidman's name for an Oscar. Ok, so maybe not that much.

The highlight of the night was that I had 3 other tickets in addition to mine that were not being used and I gave them to a father and his young daughter (around 13). They were very grateful and even more grateful when they found out they would be sitting in the second row. I wasn't about to give up my front row seat! :)

Leaves and Drinking
So I borrowed my neighbors leaf blower and mulcher last week. I don't know what I would have done without it as I have about 7 trees in my yard. I filled up 20 bags of mulched leaves and finished the yard and about 10 hours. I was exhausted. However, I broke the mulcher with only about 10 minutes to go. I did fix it, but I still felt bad and told them I would buy them a new one. They declined, but I insisted. To date, we haven't agreed on the issue. However, we did agree to drink together on Friday night. They are so nice! Very lucky to have them as neighbors. Anyways we drank about two bottles of wine and chatted for about 2 hours. I figured out that the one guy knows a few people from Salem (Oh No!) and the other guy works with insects (curious to find out more about that)! After drinking and chatting we went to a local gay bar and spent another hour and some beers. I really don't remember too much more, just hazy details.

I spent all day Saturday hungover, BIG TIME. I had planned to see Australia the next morning, but I just couldn't get out of bed. You know it has to be bad if I have to delay going to see a Nicole Kidman movie. I finally got up around 7pm and went to the 8pm showing. I loved the movie, but it could have been so much more moving. I didn't even cry and I fully expected too!

So there you go, in a rambled mess, with many spelling and grammar errors is my life in the past week.

Hope you had great holiday and hope to see you soon!

Love,
Anthony
