The Butterfly Effect.

I sort of slept in. When I finally did get up I drove down to the IS Office. I downloaded all the pictures from last night. There were some good ones. I took one of Nick and one of Nick and Russell holding each other and opened them in Photoshop. The one of Nick alone had a quilt that Russell grandma made. It happens that the quilt looks like a pride symbol with the rainbow squares. I took the background out of the picture. Then I took the quilt and duplicated it, making it the background. The to superimposed Nick on to it. It looked pretty cool. The one of Russell and Nick I trimmed up a little bit. Took care of some red eye issues. And took out a Coke can that was aesthetically taking away from the pictures. I printed those out to give to Russell.

I went down to the fire station and hung out there for a little bit. Scott was working for Jenny. I went to Rosauer's and got lunch. Then I went back to the station and ate. As it was getting near five pm I left and went home to get ready to work in Pullman. I went to my office get a new battery for my pager.

I left my office and headed to the station where I was going to vegetate for a while. Within five minutes of getting to the station a call came out for a nose bleed on Nye street. I got the rig ready to go. Chuck got ready and I drove us to the scene. We got into the apartment and there was a lot of blood in the sink. We transported the patient to the hospital. Then we went back to the station. We washed the rig and parked it. Just as we were done doing that, the engine showed up from manning station Thirty-One. I helped to wash that as well.

I looked at Matt's computer. It was not hooking to the network there. It could ping things locally but it was not getting DNS. It was being weird.

Ryan called and we decided to go see a movie. I went to his place to meet up with him and Meredith and Eddy. We went to see the Butterfly Effect. It was a good movie. It reminded me on the conversation Russell and I had about taking a pill that would make us straight. The effects it would have on who we are today and our lives.

After the movie Ryan and I went to Russell's apartment and I gave him the pictures that I had made.

Then we went to Ryan's apartment and played Monopoly with Meredith and Eddy. Ryan ended up winning the whole thing. After the game we played with the cats. Ryan's new kitty, Nemo was having a lot of fun.

I left about three in the morning. I drove around a little bit in the snow and looked around. Then I went to the station to get my turn outs out of the vehicle. Bryan and Matt were still up. I talked to them for a few minutes and then headed to my office. By this time it was near four am. I decided to stay up. I got online and chatting with Daniel for a little while. He is a gay guy. We talked about a lot of different topics. At about five forty-five in the morning I went to get breakfast and headed to Colfax. I got home and went to bed.
