A Movie, a Phone, and Laundry

Didn’t get to finish my movie last night. Besides the fact that "Matrix Revolutions" is a really long movie, I had some distractions. Actually one distraction…my phone. Not that I am complaining, I would rather be talking with a friend than watching a movie. There was also laundry to distract me, but that wasn’t a big deal. Once I found detergent that is. The barracks office issues detergent, but by the time I made it down there it was closed. By chance a lady with whom I have been to the bar came into the lobby area and I asked if she knew where I could find detergent. She offered me the use of hers, so I followed to her room. Detergent in hand I set out to conquer my dirty laundry!

Anyway…after getting my laundry in I made my first call. My cousin didn’t answer. On to option two; Shaughna did answer. Shaughna and I talked for a while, good conversation about nothing. Sometimes the best thing to talk about is nothing. My cousin tried calling while I was talking to Shaughna, I don’t ever pick up the call waiting...I don’t even know why I have it, ‘cause it’s free I guess. So after ending the conversation with Shaughna I called my cousin. Short conversation. She wanted to know the whereabouts of a key and a garage door opener. With that out of the way, I started the movie. After about an hour and a half my phone started ringing again. This time it was my girlfriend. After about 20 minutes of conversation I shut the movie off and laid down. We continued to talk until I was ready to pass out, then we said goodnight and I went to sleep. All in all it was a good night.

p.s. I did get my laundry done amidst all that.
