3 work days out of the 4 done and gone. Saturday night, I had me some brew and watched a couple kung-fu movies...that didn't have kung-fu in them at all (what?!). a Jackie Chan movie called "the Shinjuku incident" was about illegal Chinese immigrants who formed a gang against the Yakuza, and won! it was a good movie!! then I watch a Donnie Yen movie where he plays kind of a dickweed. normally, he's that level headed, moral, and upstanding guy that kicks every bad guys ass. this is the first time I seen him play a role as somewhat of a low class bum chain smoker going thru a divorce (the title eludes me). neither featured any martial arts, but both were rather good flicks...
the Kid calls me as I'm on the way home, from the stalag, Friday night. I fumble around in my lunchbox, in the dark, as I'm driving, pull the phone out, I can't see who it is (not wearing my glasses at the time), but answer it anyway. I get dead air. once home, I get a call from Brian (neighbor/almost room mate), so I assumed it was him making the first call. the next day, I look at my "missed calls" and notice it wasn't Brian at all, it was the Kid. he's on his way to South Carolina that day, and I started to worry that he may have had car troubles (or some such problems) when he called. it was way too early in the morning to call him back, so I texted him. with no response to that, I called him at lunch time. he says he must have "pocket dialed" me, and that everything was ok. he was in Chicago for some sort of convention (cool!). then Saturday, I get a text saying that he's lodging in Lexington KY (about half the way to his destination...cool part 2!). these little updates are a good reassurance that things are going well. I'll relax a bit more when he makes it all the way down...
I best get some sleep...4:30 pm rolls around far too quickly!
