They're no Reeses Sticks, but they'll do

When Thursday came, I woke up to meet the carpet guy who was coming at 9:00 AM. At 11:00 he showed up and cleaned the carpets. In between I watched TV and scoped out Making the Band 3 for the first time ever. It was troublingly fun. When the carpet guy came, I decided to code out my Flash project for class. That kept me busy, but I realized that most of the music I was listening to could've been offensive, so I had to cut back there. Anyway, I did figure out most of the logistics.

When all was said and done for the carpet man, he left. The cesspool man came and cleaned up shop later. That pretty much sums up day two (Thursday). When Good Friday came we there was even more fun to be had. Fasting and all was fun, and at 12:30 we went to mass, where I read a reading and read part of the Passion. I was the Voice-- this way I could really play Peter. It's funny to go home for a religious holiday because you see the same people over and over again. Normally I never see these people, even for regular breaks, but now I see them three days in a row! Craziness. Friday was over. We ate dinner and stuff. Nothing big that I remember.

When Saturday came I thought I was in the clear. Today was going to be the day off. Of course I forgot that this was the Easter Vigil day, and we were going to that. For the beginning of the day, I did have the day off. I sat around watching bad SciFi Channel and stuff. Then it was time to get ready for a new event: The Easter Vigil. As I prepared for that I had to look up tying a tie on the internet again. I mastered the Windsor, but I prefer the Pratt knot. That presented some issues because it took some time to get right. I got it in the car on the way there. The vigil was frightening as usual-- big fire, lots of small fires on candles, tons of people, small space, etc.

After that, we got home at about 10:00 PM. I had to waste an hour before I could rewind my already-recording premiere of Bruce Campbell's Alien Apocalypse. It was worth the wait too. I loved it, and truly enjoyed the Biblical parallelism that emerged in post-film reading. Oh yeah-- on Friday I watched New Nightmare. That was somethin'. And then Sunday came. After we bought some flowers and visited the dead relatives, we had Easter Dinner, which had an astonishing amount of similarities with Thanksgiving Dinner.

After dinner I finished off my Bunny Cake and went to bed with a little dash of Crossing Jordan. This is unusual as I'm normally a syndicated fan, but once in a while I have the discipline to catch a new one. Lucky for me-- this one featured guest star Charlie O'Connell alongside Jerry. And after all of that I woke up and drove home-- in the rain! And that concludes our Easter trip down Break Lane. I'm sure I missed a few things here and there, but that was about it.

As for candy, I don't know what I'll get just yet. Mom have me a chocolate basket with some traditional Easter goodies in it, but Karen comes over tomorrow with the store-bought goods. I'm expecting some Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Eggs. I like them chilled. The most important thing about Easter Candy that I learned this year is that the new Reeses Pieces eggs--which are bigger versions of the little candy-shelled things that cost twice as much as any other candy and come in smaller quantities--cannot be handled. I may be getting a little personal here, but we're pretty good friends BJ. I couldn't contain myself with those things. I didn't portion my consumption well. I ate the big ones in the quantities I would expect the small ones to satisfy me. Needless to say, I was getting packed with Peanut Butter goodness. This was good, for like ten minutes. As they reached my stomach they seemed to turn immediately to an undesirable grumbling. I really had to pace out those last eggs.

Anyway BJ, that's it. I was going for quite a while back there and I should probably bust this up to two parts for reading pleasure. That's really all though. Hope your Easter was very entertaining and as eventful as mine. I bet yours was colder. Send my best to crabs or Reggie Miller, depending on where you are when you read this.

Sincerely

Did you read Part One?
