i'm coming slow but speeding...

where to begin.... it has been weeks since my last real posting, and though many of you already know the daily goings-on of my life, i feel the need to update today.

first things first, the foot is healing well. the bone is completely healed, and now i am simply waiting for the muscle to regain flexibility and strength.

now for the highlights of my past... we'll say 3 weeks to keep it even

June 18th: dave matthews band night #1 at the Meadows with Christa. the epitomy of a good time. it's been eons since i've spent any real time with the eldest elkie sister, so it was a joy just to spend 6 hours unintertupted with her. we ate vegan s'mores, hippie-danced the night away, fended off a drunkard, and had a fabulous time. the set list was good, with one of my favorite live songs (warehouse), along with quite a few songs off the new album. at first listen, i will readily admit i hated the new album, but after hearing the live interpretation of many of the songs, the album has grown on me....

June 19th: dave matthews band night #2 at the meadows, this time with a different crowd. i met up with pickett, jen, kristen, ian, and some of their friends for the show. though there was no hippie dancing this time around, the second night was still incredible. the set list was damned near perfect. highlights for me were "the stone", "crush", "granny" and "rapunzel." the company wasnt too shabby either ;). though chris and jen left aftet the second song to find a more somfortable lawn spot, we still made the best of what was around (pun intended) and rocked out. thoroughly entertaining....

June 25th: kyle's graduation party. after getting thoroughly raped at work with about half of our staff for the night already gone, lauren and i arrived at kyle's around 11pm. for those that aren't familiar with my second family, kyle's mom jean is convinced that kyle and i will marry, if only so she can have me as a daughter-in-law. rather endearing, really. we already have a "wedding date" in hawaii set up too. :p it was here that i found out that sean was going to be going to saratoga with me the following friday for a dave matthews band show, as opposed to dave. i was slightly taken aback, to say the least. not to say i wasnt pleasantly suprised, but it was still strange to think i would be spending more than 12 consecutive hours with the ex, when we've maybe spent 12 hours in each other's company TOTAL since we broke up, but he's a massive dave fan, and has always been entertaining, so i wasnt too stressed about it. the night was spent attempting backflips and relaxing on kyle's trampoline with sean, randi, dave, john, christy, and randi's mini-pinscher loki.

June 26th: lauren and mikey break up. to be honest, from the looks of things the only thing that has and will change about their relationship is they dont have the titles of "boyfriend/girlfriend". in fact, they've hung out more now that they've broken up than they did when they were together. then again, as lauren aptly pointed out, their relationship has never made sense to anyone, so why should it now?

July 1st: dave matthews band in saratoga with sean. oh. my. god. our pavilion seats were incredible. we were in the last row of the balcony, and i could still see every detail of the stage. the band was exhuberant tonight. carter had 2 drum solos, boyd and steffan has at least 3 of their signature jam-outs. steffan actually MOVED. he ran across the stage at one point, which is in and of itself amazing. though i didnt get to hear "song that jane likes", the set was awesome. oh, and the company wasnt too shabby either :D. as the concert let out, sean and i went to the parking lot, and just happened to stumble across the police escort of their tour busses being escorted out of SPAC.... all five of them. though we didnt get views of three of the five, i saw steffan chilling and wavng through the windshield. carter, on the other hand, was practically pressed against the window, waving ecstatically at the fans below. i saw carter from 10 feet away. i guess walking in the wrong direction to the car worked rather well.
did i mention the company was good?

so here it is, 5:17 on a starday night. i am utterly antsy. i SHOULD be working, but due to a scheduling snafu (i.e. my manager is a dolt) i am sitting at home. oh well. i'll enjoy the relaxation while i can take it. after all, last night was a long night.

jules was lost in thought at 5:20 PM

Very well written, I commend you--however you mispelled "saturday" toward the end of your post.

Have a fun Starday!
