Afterward, head to old roommate's house, crash on couch, get up @ 6:30 for...

ayah, I'm intrigued by the Brubek. Please explain.

uh oh

way to go, jason.
asshole.

the story was told in another thread, one which I can't remember. But I read it. and I still salute her for having the guts to try and continue to want to try. KUDOS, JASMINE. KUDOS!

damn.

well sorry for bringing it up again jasmine.

I'm thinking I might scope out the bars Friday for the first time in a while. I hate it, because I'll have to go in alone, but I'm pretty sure there will be people I know there.

I NEED TO DRINK

Work Saturday and Sunday.

I have Monday off!! But not because of the holiday, just because that's where my day off falls. Which is wicked cool as I get holiday pay.

you're fine, j. everytime i tell the story, i get less and less pissed off at the outcome.

in a nutshell:

swam, hated it, wanted to die (for serious), but i finished. didn't drink a whole lot, hopped on the bike, threw up around mile 15, fell over around mile 18-20 and went to the medical tent (in an ambulance!) with decreased lung capacity, dehydration and heat stroke. went to the hospital and they decided to keep me overnight because of some muscle enzyme which could hurt the kidneys.

spent all week with nasty respiratory/diaphragmatic pain due to hyperventilation and inhaling water, but i feel pretty good now.

fuck triathlons, dude.

holy shit...i'm glad you're ok. and yeah major KUDOS for even attempting it. i could never dream of it.

we have mini-triathlons out here...which i think is a 300 yard swim, 11 mile bike and 2 mile run...that'd be more my speed.

friday: working, then probably just watching a movie, pizza, wine, etc.

saturday: driving to black river falls, wi for good friends' wedding. rehearsal dinner at night then possibly some hotel room antics or out on the town?

sunday: wedding, reception, more fun, back to the hotel to lament the continued loss of our free-spirited, stallionesque and single younger selves.

monday: drive home, be lazy and maybe grill out.

Friday/Saturday - Class until 11. Then getting some things ready. Then work from 1:30-5. At 5 I am leaving Arcata, CA and driving down to Berkely. Going to sleep at a friends house for about 3-4 hours, and pick up some international friends (one irish, one english, and two australian girls), and we are driving (in my Neon, with baggage) to Anaheim, so we can be at disneyland around when it opens. So Saturday we will be at disneyland, haha and then we are staying at some hotel right across from it.

Sunday - We are spending the day at disneyland as well, we hvae 3 day passes.

Monday - We'll probably go for a few hours, on early admission, then we'll do whatever, I'll drop them off at a hotel, and then I plan on driving back to Arcata (something like 12 hours). I plan on getting in late, probably around midnight, maybe later. And Tuesday I won't go to class most likely, so i can sleep a little and then wake up in the late morning and go to work by 1:30.
