Our internet has been having problems this week, so I've been having to go to cafes to get online. Right now I'm at Panera. Kind of annoying, but also nice in some ways. I've been going through my clothes as well as my books to give away all the stuff I don't want. And I've been reading a bit more. I just read this book I picked up at the library called A Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style by Tim Gunn. It was pretty entertaining, and I read it in like 3 days--that's pretty quick for me!
I've also made good progress in A Game of Thrones. I know I'll be able to finish it before season 2 of the tv show, but I'm wondering if I should wait to read the second novel till I've seen the second season. If I do, the show will be more exciting, but if don't, the book will be more exciting. I'll probably try to wait, and then become impatient and end up reading the book first.
My jobs at ZooFriends and the library are going really well. For a while, the schedules were stressing me out 'cause I either felt like I wouldn't have enough hours or I wouldn't have enough time off, but it looks like everything is going to fit together quite well. I should get a day off at least every other week so I can visit Tulsa, and my hours at the library have increased to make up for lost hours at the zoo. I hope this fall turns out as well as I think it will!

Say no to hate
I drove up to Tulsa yesterday, I'm sitting in Colin's apartment on TU's campus now, and I just realized that for the first time in 2 years, I don't hate school. I hated it during my senior year--I could hardly wait to be finished. I hated it the year after that, remembering how "awful" it was the previous year. But now that I'm a little more removed from experience, I no longer have such negative feelings toward it. I can even see myself doing more in the future, either tech or grad school, and not being miserable the whole time. (The only downside--really steep downside--would be the cost.)
I think perhaps the reason why school seemed to suck so much was because I wasn't happy with my life in general at the time. I liked school my sophomore year, and I liked my life. I didn't like school my junior and senior years, and I didn't like my life. Funny how that seems to work. It's hard to be satisfied with one part of your life when another is severely stressing you out.
Right now, I'm mostly happy with my life, but I'm uneasy about where it's headed. I like both of my jobs, and I love my coworkers. I'm in a healthy, fulfilling relationship with a guy I love. I have a fairly good number of friends in OKC now. But I do still somewhat feel like I'm in a rut. I don't really have a concrete game plan. I don't know where or when I'll end up moving (or even if I'll be moving at all, frankly). My life so far has consisted of working toward the next level of school. Now that I'm done, I'm not sure what to do with myself. I'm not even sure I want to pursue a career in the field I studied.
At least I can rest easy knowing I'm not in debt, like most other people my age who just graduated. That's a really nice situation to be in, and since I'm living with my dad, not having to pay rent, I'm able to save up money. I guess even if nothing changes in the next year or two, I'll have a good chunk of change in my savings account that will allow me to do whatever, and go wherever, I want once I figure out what, and where, that is.

Alphabet Date
On Tuesday, Colin and I decided to go on an "Alphabet Date." This consists of choosing a letter from the alphabet, and then everything you do has to start with that letter. We chose "P," and I decided to take Photos of everything we did. First, we read a bit of Poetry. I read some that I'd written, and we also read some together from the collection Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices.
Then we went to the mall and looked around in Payless and PacSun.
And we got a Pretzel from Aunti Anne's.
We had lunch at P. F. Chang's.
After eating, we popped over to PetSmart and Party America.
Then we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides at the dollar theater.
When we got home, I changed into comfy clothes and then made Pasta for dinner.
Colin, Dad, and I watched a Pair of episodes of Rescue Me while we ate, and then we went to Peach Wave for dessert.
That was a really fun day! I definitely want to try it again with other letters. It would also be a challenge to try to do all the letters in one day, in order. I could start by having an Apple, a Banana, and Cereal for breakfast. See? There's 3 down, just 23 more to go after that!
(The poems in this book have two separate columns, meant to be read by two people at the same time.)
Then we went to the mall and looked around in Payless and PacSun.
(I bought a metal owl necklace. We'll see if I actually wear it.)

End of summer cleaning
Today has been a really nice day off. I got a lot of things done I needed to do--buy a gift for Grandmother, buy groceries, check out Vintage Stock, pay my speeding ticket online... So I've been really productive, which feels nice.
This evening, though, is has been super awesome. I decided that I'm going to go through all my stuff again and get rid of stuff I don't need or want, and repack the rest so I know where everything is. Some stuff that's packed away right now is stuff I want handy, and some that I have handy, I never use. Also, I know I of some old toys and random objects that must be somewhere, but I have no clue where that where might be.
As I've been doing this tonight, I've also been watching ABC's miniseries The 10th Kingdom. I remember loving it the first time it aired in 2000, and they did an encore showing a few weeks later, so I recorded it on VHS--3 tapes in all. Going through my old stuff while watching this definitely brings back lots of memories, AND it's raining! So it's been a pleasant trip down memory lane with a soothing pattering on the window pane. Ha! ...And I'm even drinking Ginger Ale.
I love sorting through things. It's always been cathartic for me. It allows me to do an inventory check on all my belongings, while rearranging them to fit my life at the time, and it also feels nice to throw out stuff I haven't used in forever, or haven't used ever, like the user manual for my old phone. I usually tend toward right-brained traits, but I love putting things in order for some reason. (I guess that's why I like working at the library!) It's kind of like putting together a puzzle--I have to figure out the best way to pack items together, and I also have to decide which items I need and which I want and which I can do without. It's a great exercise and learning experience! Hopefully I'll learn that I'm not a hoarder.

Dear Grandmother
As a birthday gift to my grandmother (on my dad's side) this year, I decided to get her a journal, blank except for a letter from me at the front. This is that letter:
Dear Grandmother,
This journal is for you to write down whatever you want: stories from your life, stories you've been told, little bits of wisdom you've learned, small things you notice, advice about anything, etc. Feel free to write as much, or as little, as you want (if you run out of space in this book, I will buy you another one). When you feel like you've said all there is to say, you can give it back to me as a keepsake, and I will be sure to share it with all of my cousins who are interested. So really, this gift to you is more like a gift for me and all of your grandchildren.
Tina was the one who gave me this idea. She has a book of poems by her grandmother that she loves dearly, a memento of thoughts from someone she loved and admired. I've always held the belief that we have a lot to learn from our elders. Picking the brains of our parents and grandparents allows us to gain insight from those who have lived much longer, and experienced much more, than we have. This journal allows me to pick your brain with your complete control. You decide what to say and how to say it. This is your project to do with what you will.
Love,
Casey :)
P.S. ~ I'm sure Papa Jerry has his own insights about things, too, so if you want to let him add something to the journal, I would love that. This book is yours, though, so if you would rather keep it for yourself, please do so. I can get a separate book for him if he wants to join the project.

Books, backstories, bowling
I decided to get a 2-month free trial membership to Barnes & Noble. Not sure if I'll end up keeping it, but it's not that much--just $25 a year, and I do tend to buy a lot of books as gifts (and a few for myself). My first purchase was A Game of Thrones, the first book of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. I ordered it online and just got it today... and it was damaged. If it was something small, I wouldn't care, but the spine of the cover has a slice through it and the first few pages are badly torn. I called the nearest store and had them put one on reserve (they're sold out right now) so I can exchange it there. I'd rather not mail it back 'cause I wouldn't be able read it for at least another week. This way, I can go ahead and start reading it till the store calls me to say they have the book in.
I went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 at the dollar theater last week. It was good--not as good as the first one, but still a great sequel. It goes into the interesting backstory of the main character, Po, but I wish they had done the same for some of the other characters, as well. For example, I'd really like to know the tale behind Tigress--she's the most "hardcore" of the group, and yet she seems to sympathise with Po when he's frustrated about his past. If they make a third movie (which I think is pretty likely), I really hope they spend time developing the other characters. The animation is basically flawless, though. They used 2-D animation for all the flashback sequences, a nice change of pace, and the prologue and credits are made to resemble Chinese shadow puppetry, which I thought was a nice touch.
For Dad's birthday dinner, we ate at Humble Pie. The Chicago style pizza was amazing, as expected, but the New York style wasn't great. I guess from now on I'll only get the Chicago style there. Besides, if I really want good New York style pizza, I can always go to Little Caesar's, right? ...just kidding. I'd go to Falcone's.
I'm really excited about Colin coming to visit next week. I got to see him for a few hours on Sunday on his way home from QuakeCon in Dallas. He, Mike, and I ate at Ted's (MMMMMM) and then went bowling. I'm really starting to get sick of not being able to see him, but I just have the rest of this week and then he's back in Oklahoma for the rest of the semester.
I'm really glad summer's almost over. I've been working almost every day for the last three months and haven't had much of a social life. My work schedule will change soon, though, giving me at least one day off each week, which should allow me time to visit Tulsa regularly. Aleithia is leaving :( , but Graham will be here for OU Med school, and Heather will be back from London, so hopefully I'll still have people to hang out with. I have gotten to know my coworkers better over the summer, too, so maybe I'll chill with them outside of work more often. Who knows?

My arms hurt.
That workout video I tried yesterday must have worked, 'cause I've been pretty sore all day. I think I'll keep it up for a couple weeks 'till I can remember the exercises and then do my own thing from there. I checked out another video from the library today, too. It's a yoga one. I might try that tomorrow.
So this weekend is Oklahoma's tax free weekend--Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I want to go try out the new Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City that's opening Friday, but I don't want to deal with the crowds. I'll probably end up going anyway. I think I'll go by there after work on Friday, to sort of scope it out and make sure I know how to get there. Then on Saturday maybe (maybe) I'll get up early and try to beat some of the rush (I don't work that day). I'm really excited about this outlet mall! I love The Gap, but their prices are usually too high for me, so I always wait till I'm in Dallas to go to the Gap Outlet near there. Now I can go whenever I want 'cause there's one right in town! There are other stores I'm excited about too, like Banana Republic, Jones New York, Bose, and Disney, and the mall will also have an Orange Leaf and a Smash Burger! Woo!
Today I started a 2-month free trial membership to Barnes & Noble. I'm not sure if I'll want to start paying, but I figure I might as well get some discounts for 2 months, especially since I'm gonna start reading George R. R. Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire. I was originally going to check the books out from the library, but the waiting lists are too damn long. Besides, from what I've heard and from watching the show Game of Thrones, I know I'll love them and want to own them, anyway.

Yay for exercise videos that aren't obnoxious!
Yesterday Melissa came to Edmond and we went to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. I loved it! I loved the characters, especially Steve Carrell's and Emma Stone's, and JOSH GROBAN had a small role, too! Ha! I did not expect that. He was really funny! The whole movie was. The climax reminded me of a Shakespeare comedy, the way everything was drawn together with secrets exposed in a flurry of confusion. It's definitely one of the best romantic comedies I've seen in a few years. One thing that makes it so satisfying is the realism of the characters' pain, which the actors all pulled off. Definitely as good as Love Actually (to which it is similar), if not better.
Last week I bought the new downloadable content for Dragon Age II. And I actually finished it the next day. It was quite fun. There were new locations, which was nice, since the main game reuses the same caves and warehouses over and over. And the new plot stuff was interesting, too. I love the Dragon Age writers. I'm ready for them to make another game that has the awesome combat of II with the more extensive plot of Origins. Then I can go back to wiling away the hours sitting at my computer!
Speaking of sitting, I didn't do much of that today! I had planned to get up at 8 this morning to go on a walk before it got too hot, but didn't get out of bed till 11. BUT... I decided to check out a work out video from the library. It's called "Fit in Your Jeans by Friday" with Kim Kardashian and her personal trainer. Lol. I don't care about Kim Kardashian at all, but the description on the back of the case made it seem interesting, so I tried it. I liked the trainer a lot! She was encouraging and helpful without being really annoying and overly energetic. And the background music isn't obnoxious, which is a plus. The video, which focuses on abs and upper body, had some hard bits, but it was mostly pretty easy. I'm gonna see if I'm sore at all tomorrow and if I am, then maybe I'll use some of the stuff in the video to create my own workout routine. I think creating a routine of my own would be good so that I can strengthen what I want to and do exercises I like. Listening to my own music would be nice, too.
I've started drinking tea again the last few days. It's nice. I should really keep it up, 'cause tea is good for you and it's yummy and it relaxes me. It also kinda reminds me of being in Ireland.

It's been a pretty busy weekend.
On Thursday, aunt Nancy came to Edmond on her way down to Abilene. She, my dad, and I went to Old Chicago for dinner (yummy), then went back to my dad's and watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 'cause Nancy had it with her and Dad still hadn't seen it. It was a nice, though short, visit.
Then that night, I went to see Cowboys & Aliens at midnight with Aleithia and Christiana. It was fun! The movie was pretty good. I loved the first half, but the last quarter was less impressive. The plot seemed to wrap itself up a little too easily toward the end, but I still liked it. The story is definitely a great western, with western themes, and the sci-fi element added in is a neat touch. Usually, when those two genres are combined, it's the other way around--sci-fi setting and themes with a western motif added (like in Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, or various episodes of Star Trek and Doctor Who).
The acting in Cowboys & Aliens was superb, and how could it not be with a cast including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, and Paul Dano? I'm also starting to really like John Favreau as a director. He's racking up quite the list: Elf, Zathura, Iron Man, and now this. I'm glad they kept the campy title for the film, even though the film itself isn't campy at all. It is, after all, based on a comic of the same name. Plus, how much more straightforward can you get? I remember talking with Nancy earlier about how interesting it would be to have Indians & Aliens instead of Cowboys, noting how differently Indians would have reacted to an alien invasion. But, funnily enough, Cowboys & Aliens actually does include Indians (Apaches, specifically) and the film itself notes the difference in reactions. I was really impressed by that! I definitely recommend this film, but I do want to see it again to see if it holds up on a second viewing.
(I slept all afternoon/evening after work on Friday to make up for lost sleep Thursday night.)
Saturday, after work, I went to the Bowling for Rhinos event with other OZS employees at Boulevard Lanes. That was really fun! I hadn't been bowling in a long time, but I actually did fairly well. We were able to squeeze in 3 games, and on my last game I got a 126, which is really good for me! I got around 6 or 7 strikes during the evening and a few spares. It was definitely good practice. My arm was a little sore the next day, too. :P
Sunday was a pretty lazy day, but Dad and I watched 3 episodes of Rescue Me, which I'm borrowing from Colin. I'm really liking this show! It does have more sex in it than I'm usually comfortable with, but the show as a whole is worth it, and those scenes are almost always important to the plot or character development in some way.
