Had four beautiful young women in my bed yesterday.
Elaborate PLEASE.
This week has been awesome so far and the weekend is only going to be better. I've been in such a good mood. Firstly, I got a new, temporary minion at work. He's the bosses cousin and will be here for a couple weeks and at first I was not very excited about having him around. When he got here, he turned out to be very pleasant and competent. He's helped me make good progress on a lot of loose-end projects I've had going on around here. Yesterday me, him, and my bosses went over to take a look at the building we will be moving to at the end of the month and it is beautiful. My office will be getting larger, the cafe area is amazing (HUGE, with tables, booths, a pool table, an actual cooking area, and outdoor patio with grill), and there's even a small fitness area. Working in that building is going to be quite cushy.
So aside from things going really well at work this week, tomorrow I leave for LA with my friend Devin to visit my best friend Ryan for the weekend. Tomorrow night we'll all be getting dinner with my other best friend Hannah before she leaves LA to come back to Phoenix. Friday we plan to hike through Griffith Park to the Hollywood sign and we'll also probably make a stop at the observatory (my favorite spot in LA). Saturday looks like it'll be spent at the beach in Malibu with dinner at the Sunset restaurant right on the ocean. Also, nightlife all three days. We found a couple neat bars the last time I was out and Ryan tells me he's found a few more since then. It's going to be so much fun.

Girlfriend and some mutual friends came over... and for some reasons they thought my wide bed was more comfortable to sit and talk than my couch

My mentor teacher for this final semester is fantastic. She's a little scatterbrained, loves coffee, and does not respect a schedule... just like me. 
What I mean by that last thing is that, if the kids in her class get really interested in a lesson, she lets them learn more about it if they want. She's ok with putting another lesson aside for a day if it means feeding enthusiasm. I haven't had a teacher like that before, and if I ever did something like that during one of my prepared lessons, I was criticized. She seems organized enough that everything will get done... just maybe not on the day she planned. We get along so well. I can't wait for the first day of school tomorrow!

Our new drummer is just tearing our set up. We are working our way through the set list, song by song, and last night we ripped up The Devil in You and then he said, instead of calling it a night after 3 hours of practice that he wanted to go on to The World Glow since he and his wife have been listening to it constantly and love it. That felt really good but it felt even better when he just played the song straight through. Dude already had it down. What a win.

Business meeting went better then expected today. Finished up a great deal of my work and I HAVE FRIDAY OFF!
Movie theater, sushi and drinks will be my Friday.

I love a good drummer. I'm always amazed.
As much fun as I am having with my new tenor sax, I can't wait to get my hands on some drumsticks and see if I can handle a drumset at all.
lost another 2 lbs this week...that's down 22 lbs since June. Not too bad, considering there was a big trip to Ireland in there (which I lost a pound on! I coulda swore I was gonna come back having put back on 5 lbs)

I high-fived Edgar Wright last night and was so inspired by Scott Pilgrim that I got the # of the cute, smart, cynical girl sitting next to me in the Star Wars shirt while we were walking out.
The very cute Chinese girl I met in Beijing emailed me yesterday and told me that when she comes here next month for school, her ex-boyfriend is not coming until November. So I don't have to show both of them around, just her. Which is in absolutely no way a problem.

If the movie is half as epic as this story, I will not be disappointed. Awesome.

FOLLOW-UP: she totally found me on OkCupid this morning! I think she likes me
stopped by the meat market today to fill up my freezer. The last time I was there, they asked about my ever-present tinwhistle, and I played them a tune.
Bought $200 worth of meat, and decided to pick up a Dave's Insanity Sauce gift box ($28.00) for a friend for his birthday. The owner said that he'd give me the sauce if I played them a tune
In the end, he gave us the sauce, a soda and an extra pork roast. It was nice. I felt like he was over paying a bit for just the one tune, so I ran out to the car and brought him back one of our band cd's

It was generally about Judaism, including a comparison with Christian practices. Did an interview with ZenMonkey for it, too.
Just spoke to a buddy of mine whom I haven't seen since graduating high school in France. He's living in California right now, but said that he's been feeling a vacation coming on, as is talking about road-tripping here. We're talking about contacting a third buddy, an Italian who's doing some kind of very lucrative consulting work, having him fly over, and tearing up Savannah's River Street. This has potential to be the most epic night out since the last one, 10 years ago.

When I left home this morning, i knew my motorcycle was on fumes. When I got to the main street, it started to sputter, so I revved it up to like 60 and shifted into neutral. I coasted into the nearest gas station. When I reached for the key, it sputtered out on its own. That's epic timing, baby.
Oh, NIIIIICE! Be sure and do some combination of the three whilst enjoying the fountain show from your lofty heights.
You son of a bitch!
BOOSH!

Tonight at the Avenged Sevenfold concert, I, David Nihsen, entered my first mosh pit. I may upload a picture of what a 44 year old guy missing a tooth looks like. It fucking rocked but man am I going to hurt in the morning.
And by the way, I moshed with the young pups and kicked some ass. It wasn't until the last note of the last song when I was already leaving the circle when a guy tripped and his head hit my mouth. The tooth is actually still there, just bent WAY back in my mouth and my lip is cut up. But God DAMN was it fun!

He's on the couch. Not sure if that one crosses cultures.
