Brother Bear's Return!

It's #TBT, which was perfectly timed for today.

There is a handful of faces from my past to which I still make efforts to stay connected; this guy is one of them:
circa.... 2008?
Yeah, this guy was an older brother to me for a few years, and someone I considered [and still do] one of my favorite friends along the way. We ran in the same close-knit circle of friends for several years and then eventually strayed separate ways via life, jobs, moving and all that fun stuff that gets in the way of people living in their early 20's forever. He's now living in Texas and I'm now back in Ohio for the third [and hopefully final] time.

I hadn't seen him in probably almost 2 years.
say whaaaaaaat?!
today! 11.20.14
And THEN, I went to Northside for lunch with Elisa and Becky, and from the parlour at Melt in Northside, I spotted this dapper dude strolling down the sidewalk outside.

No. WAY! :D

Brother bear, it was terrific getting to see you today, even just briefly. What a small world! I hope Texas continues to treat you well, and maybe I'll swing through the next time I find myself that way!
one more from the archives, 2007 : family dinner!
nalom. james. me. ladd. catie.
^^ Love those people ♥

Small world we live in :)

Happy Thursday!

Thursday Recuperation

I'm getting too old for this...

I realized today that I must come to terms with the fact that my body will no longer accept my demanding it to stay awake into early morning hours, sleep for just a couple of hours, and be back at it for another day. After bedtimes not before 1am both Tuesday night and last night, I was left in a half-coherent daze for the better part of today.

Fast forward to the good news: I'm awake now after the 3-hour nap I took just moments after walking in the door from work. I'm feeling better already.

Since there really isn't any noteworthy substance to share from the 12ish hours of today, I'll throw it out there that I watched a couple of movies tonight to simply unwind myself. [Thanks, Redbox!]
lazy nights = movie nights.
Three immediate things I learned from watching these:

1 | [In my personal opinion,] Perks is underrated. I need to read the book, too, apparently.
2 | James Franco has a younger brother, and his name is Dave. And, if I'm being honest, although I'm not a gusher over James Franco, I think Dave's the better-looking of the two.
james franco. dave franco.
.... and
3 | Apparently, all you need to really cure those afflicted in the zombie apocolypse.. is love. I mean let's be honest, isn't that nearly always the answer? ;)
truth.
Ya learn somethin' new everyday, right? (:

Yep. I'm still tired. Back to bed with my lazy tail...
We'll try this again tomorrow.
