Drove to Dad's house last night. It was nice to see him again.
Came back home around 1pm today and took a desperately needed shower. Friday, I didn't shower after work because I knew I'd be at a smoky bar, and figured I'd shower sometime Saturday. Saturday, I was busy from the minute I woke up. Dad smokes, and I always reek after being at his place, so I held off until I got home today.
Stop making that face. :-) Normally I bathe every day.

Today, I decided to take myself out on a date. Called Angela to see if she wanted to go, but she had her cell phone turned off. (hint, hint!) I went and saw the new Wallace and Grommit movie. What a great little flick, chock full of dry and innuendo-laced British humor. Great time there, despite the projector bulb overheating and shutting off twice during the length. (and with no refund offer. bastards.) I did feel a little weird, though, being a lone adult male sitting in a childrens' movie. I think I'll email Orbling and ask if "veg" is slang over there for anything racy, because throughout the movie I felt like there was an inside joke I was missing.
Afterward, I went to Little Professor Books and out of the several photography magazines they carried, I picked the one titled "Shutterbug". How could I pass it up with a name like that? ;-) Went to the attached Winan's coffee shop, but shortly after I sat down, they closed. The girl working the counter was very polite and said I didn't have to get up, but I've been in food service. When we closed, I wished the stragglers would get the fuck out. Walked over to Cassano's Pizza (a local chain based out of Dayton) a door or two down with coffee in hand and finished the magazine over a turkey panini sandwich.
I haven't done that since the mid-90's, and I can't tell you how nice it felt to be by myself for a bit. I think it would've been wonderful to have somebody with me, but at the same time I wouldn't've been able to just drift off into Andyland. That's why I am looking so forward to being single, ample opportunities to spend time both by myself and with friends.

I feel loved.

Everybody has more sex than me.
