today was a guy friends day. which is sort of strange for me since it's been a while since i had some good guy friends, and now i have several. i find being friends with a guy who's in a relationship (either married or in serious dating relationship) much simpler.

i woke up fairly early and wandered to street's of the williamsville district looking for pancake mix. i wanted the "just add water" kind, but came home empty handed. well not exactly, but it was empty of pancake mix. i decided i was in no rush to get showered & dressed and highly enjoyed reading on the balcony. it was very relaxing. in early afternoon tim lyon showed up to give me the files for his business card that he needs updated in adobe indesign. so i sat on the driveway with him in my pjs for quite awhile. then we sat on the floor of my balcony for another while, which is odd since i do have chairs out there.

not long after tim left and i actually brushed my teeth for the first time today, did my dad show up. we had a cup of tea. it was nice. he's planning a garden at joy's house, since they're not great gardeners, and my dad is. i'm glad for him, that will be a nice hobby. he always had a nice garden when i was a kid. he's also joined a soft-ball team for retired men. i'm really excited for him, he's a real social person but doesn't get a lot of opportunities to make friends.

then this evening terrence and i went to see shrek. helen is working in t.o. for the summer b/c she has a good job there, so terrence is here all on his own. it was fun, we stopped in a minotaur and wrestled with those metal puzzle things. very cool. and after the flick we went to the goat. making it there just in time for them to be denied dinner. and i was craving the sommerville curry too! now i'll have to wait til wednesday at the least! argh. it's been about a month since i was at the goat last. i had a good time, we had a really interesting and thought-provoking conversation.

maybe i feel detached,
i may just look too shy.
