I was just reading the news. I probably shouldn't, current events tend to make me upset. Not all the time, just lately. One of the articles was about renewable energy. Now, I admit...I drive. I use gas. The only reason that I, with a new salaried job and only the necessities and student loans to pay, have not bought a hybrid vehicle is because they're...

Beir!! Beerfest at Old Hyde Park was good. Only thing we didn't care for was that we didn't know ANYBODY there (well, except the guy selling the wristbands was the same guy I volunteered with at the Red Cross). But lots of decent beer, nothing too spectacular though. I miss German beer. very hearty, lots of taste, not American beer which is watered down. Oh...

Well, got up early this morning because I went to bed WAY early with a headache. Caitiln and I just laid in bed talking for a good few hours. So nice to get up like that.

Then Salvation Army came to pick up our crappy exercise station and Caitlin's coworker came to pick up the matching loveseat to our sofa. So our apartment looked a...

A week between entries...I'm so neglectful. Either way it was a fun week. Nothing spectacular during the week, just work. Had HIV/AIDS training on Friday.

Caitlin gets invited out with the girls on Friday, so I tried to find something to do. Since I don't know to many people, I see what's going on in Tampa via the internet. Low and behold, the Tampa Indie...

Ok, I'm bad. No update in since Tuesday. Probably because nothing spectacular really has happened. Except TAMPA BAY PUTTING THE SMACK DOWN ON THE VIKINGS! Rookie Alex Smith with two TDs and Cadillac Williams with a huge rushing touchdown. Awesome.

Anyway, we just got back from the organic store. Got some good pomegranate juice, crackers, gravy, some other stuff. The juice kinda tastes like cranberry...

I lied, we were busy this weekend. We got the call in from the Red Cross to help out with the DOC (Disaster Operations Center) because of the influx of people coming in from NO. We got there and they needed help in the kitchen getting the volunteers fed and the evacuees who had just come in. It was hard to say anything to them...

I guess I'm on call for the Red Cross for opening up the shelters here for the victims of Katrina that they flew into Tampa today. I'm hoping I get a chance to help out in any way possible.

But as for now, we officially have a computer again. Our computer died and Caitlin and I got a little upset over the fact that both...

Egh, just got done cleaning the car...well at least ALL the glass and windshield and the carpet. I heard this Invisible Glass commercial on the radio a few days ago and, being the good consumer that I am, went out and bought it. I gotta say though, this shit works! It's BEAUTIFUL! That and I'm still trying to get that nasty beer stain out of...

we just got back from Orlando, again. It was great though, saw my parents off (back to Germany) and then we went and did a few touristy things, watched Chelsea and Tottenham (British soccer, for those who don't know) and then we went and saw my team Manchester United play today at a MacDintons and had lunch. And now we have to clean the house...

Just got back from vacation. Man, I didn't want to come back. 4 days in the Virgin Islands, kayaking, snorkelling, running and hiking the trails, and some really good Carribean food.

We got some good pictures (if they turn out ok) which I'll be able to post on here later. And my parents are coming back to orlando to fly back to Germany on Friday...
