Day 64: The swelling subsides

My lip feels better today because the swelling is down, but now the whole area is raw and chapped. So, it's kind of a wash, but whatever.

I grabbed lunch with Ashley today (check her pic of me to the right...she makes me look good) at Food for Thought to discuss our lives since we last hung out a few weeks ago. It provided plenty of laughs as I pointed out to her that she sometimes over analyzes her life – especially concerning men. Once I said this she started to over analyze her personality as a tomboyish girl. So, good humor fodder and a worthy way to spend the afternoon.

Then we parted and I did some writing...

Around 5 ish Ashley and I met up again, this time with Kyle, Zane and John, for brews at K-House. That rocked as well and I told a great story about Mike Gerrity, a Kaimin reporter who today published a really great story about Cyril Kenneth Richard, the guy who allegedly killed his roommate in self defense a few weeks ago. It's shockingly awful – not Gerrity's writing, but the whole event surrounding this kid. Whether or not his story proves more truth than fiction, the events leading to this story are just tragic. I know Alisia's felt weird ever since the murder because it happened just a few blocks from her house, but I digress. I suggest reading the feature to get a picture into everything that happened. Honestly, I think it's the best story so far on the whole event, though don't tell Gerrity I said that. He's a putz of a man.

Also, today my friend Jordan also pushed me to a new job (like a certain "motherly" figure has been doing as well...she knows who she is). This one sounds good, so good that I'm not talking about it. I'll tell more later...

Anyway, I hope all is well out there in the world my fair readers. See ya soon.
