Yet more days filled with that old feeling of waiting for something to happen...
I discovered a few neat bars last week over in “Midtown,” Charlotte's version of Ferndale. I especially liked the Penguin, which was something like a 50's diner, but with more tattooed (though very polite) freaks. We also played disc golf at Renaissance this weekend. Simply an amazing course. Very challenging shots with lots of obstacles. The first eight holes crisscross through a wooded ravine, forcing players to confront fences, uphill shots, a muddy stream/bog, and sudden drop-offs around the baskets. The second half of the course settles down with some more standard long drives and dog-leg shots, but doesn't fail to impress. Check it out at:
On Sunday I finally got up early enough to go play football with some nice folks who run a pick-up game through Craigslist. I had a lot of fun, other than when I fell on my head and blacked out for a few seconds. I've never been knocked out before. Now I know what that feels like. Next time I will be more careful. Thankfully, I don't seem much worse for wear, but I am very sore.
Oh, one last thing: I deleted Windows XP and I'm now running Ubuntu as my operating system. Open source software for the win! Windows can go fuck itself with all its goddamn viruses and spy-ware exploits. Of course, now I'll have to deal with all the compatibility issues, not to mention actually learning how to use Linux.
P.S. I'd really like to thank the cockroaches that got into my leftovers while I was writing this. Unlike Steve, I guess they thought my soup was pretty tasty.
