Ohayo!!
Good morning, all. Just a quick entry before I head to class. The weekend was quite eventful and good, all things considered... though the negativity of the end of it is now overshadowing all the interesting things that happened.
Friday Justin and I walked home from the University. A suprise detour led us up into the Masonic Cemetary, down by 26th and Onyx. For some reason I was under the impression that this place was a private cemetary and there was no tresspassing. Was I ever wrong. The cemetary is situated on a large hill, so we climbed up to the top where there is a circular overlook. I got goosebumps just being there, it was a place of power. I could feel the energy of living and dead flowing through my fingertips, so I trailed them behind me in the fabric of the air. Eugene is a city blessed with many points of ley energy... it must be all the youth here. If you live in Eugene, I would recommend you go check this place out. It's the most non-christian cemetary I've ever seen. There are amazing gravestones with Japanese and tribal characters carved on them. Pretty much every famous Eugene citizen is buried here. All the dead guys that streets and every building on campus are named after have their graves here. You can walk over the body of Eugene Skinned himself. It's pretty cool. That, and the Mausoleum at the bottom of the hill gives me chills. It's the biggest tomb I've ever seen.
I had a wonderful dinner out at Chanterelle, one of Eugene's nicest restaurants. It was small and cozy, the food was nice (if not expensive), they didn't card for alcohol (and they let us itno the bar after dinner), and both the chef and host were very amiable. It was an extremely enjoyable evening!
Saturday, I had to go shopping to replace most of the Kitchen, since Kim was moving out. Remind me to elaborate on the scenario with my roomates later. After hitting up Goodwill, we went to give blood at the bloodmobile outside the neighboring Saturn dealership. Dontaing blood is something I've always wanted to do but never been able to. Right after I turned 18 here, I was blacklisted because I mentioned my heart arythmea. I've since been cleared but didn't have the time to donate. But... I finally got to and I felt so benevolent! After all, I have so much blood and I can make more... why not let someone else have it? All went well for me but I wish I could say the same for poor Justin. Heh heh. He turned pretty much green and had to stay in the chair for half an hour. That'll teach him to drink more H20!! Okay, I promise I won't laugh at you any more, hon, but I had to write a tribute to your moment of weakness. ; ) [he almost vomited] But, we got a free CD out of it and some cookies and juice. All was not lost.
Anyhow, it's off to Journalistic hell with me... I'm cutting the entry short, but I will write more later.
