Holy poop, I'm crapped!!Yesterday was a looooooooooooooooooong day. I picked Kelly up around 7:15am or so, and then we headed for the great city of brotherly love. I had an appointment with my doctor at 11:30. I was there on time, but she only gave me 20-25 minutes. I was ripped off, but at least I had a reason to take off from work, right? Next day in Philly should be the 7th of July, also for the appointment. I tried to get the direction to Delisandro's from someone, but never got a call back... so no award winning chicken cheesesteak for me, nor a regular steak with cheese. =( We opted for Chestnut hill instead. It was a bright sunny (aka- hot!) day out, but it was still nice to walk around, be with a friend, and just have a nice early afternoon. We grabbed a quick lunch at a small restaurant there after we hit Borders. I LOVE THAT STORE!! Proving once again what I already knew- I AM A LEATHER WHORE.... who reads a lot!! (Borders is a book store for those that are unfamiliar). I didn't buy anything, but boy did I want to!! It's cool though, I will make up for it as soon as I am done writing this. Hellooooooooooooooo online bookstoresssssss! HAH! Anywho, I showed her a smattering of La Salle while we were there. Afterwards, we headed into center city. We went to Independence Mall, but both the hall and the bell were already closed. So, we wandered around a bit and then chilled in a small park a few feet feet adjacent to the hall, right on 5th street. We sat there a little while talking, enjoying the weather, resting our feet, and thinking how cute the little birdies were. =)We went back to the parking garage, and after battling it out with some traffic, ended up on 1st and south. A few more turns, and we found a parking garage. Then we headed into a coffee house, così. It's like a starbucks, xando, but with a little more pizazz and a lot more alcohol. heh heh. Walking onto south street, I was asked if I wanted to be on tv. I probably would have done it if I was not sweating like a mo fo and didn't have a very obvious pimple. =( I told him I would see him on the way back, but he wasn't there then. Blah! It's for a new tv network called "Joke Tv". The guy said it was a completely new channel, blah blah, kinda like comedy central, blah blah. So, being that I didn't go on it, it should succeed and everyone participating in those early days will be ridiculously famous. Death to them all!!South street was an experience, like always. Some shops had closed, some had opened, the regular evolution of an urban street over the course of a year. We drove through society hill and olde city the most, then headed out to city line and my favorite bar. I won't mention the name because I don't know what sort of people are reading this- and if I saw anyone I knew there, it wouldn't be the unspoiled treasure it is now. =)After that we headed to the 24 hour drive through Taco Bell/Pizza Hut and got some grub. We drove home after that, I got in bed a little after 5am. Uhg. There's more to it, obviously, than that stated above, but who wants to hear of every nook and cranny of the human experience? Not me if I'm the one that has to type it!Overall, I had fun, although several tentative plans remain just that. We had planned to stay over, do up Atlantic City, get a lot more accomplished in general, but it was still good all around. I slept until almost 8pm this evening, its about 10 right now and I'm watching Good Will Hunting and reading the book entitled Trauma and Recovery: the aftermath of violence- from domestic abuse to political terror. Call me crazy, but I devour this stuff!
