Cutting it Close

Well it's just on the cusp of the deadline so let me briefly recap my day. I went to a good friends memorial service, though I was a little late, talked with people and exchanged stories remembering him(Tropical drinks... speaking of which, Marlon had come up with a plan for me to pee my bed in Jack's honor and well it involved drinking half of a gallon of Tampico, last time I had done this was when I was hanging out with my friend Brandi. I happened to see Brandi at the fair today for the concert). Went to hang out with some friends for lunch, came home and went right back out to go to the fair, looked around then watched Weird Al in concert (which I have done 3 times now and every time it has been phenomenal). Met up and hung out with some people from highschool, ate dinner and then left the fair. Now I'm preparing to head out one final time today to play pool and chill with some of the Nickbots before the summer ends.

Requiescat in Pace

Since tomorrow is his memorial service is tomorrow I figure I'll do a little memorial on my blog here. John T Hall, Jack, and I had met in improv I want to say in Spring 2009, but I'm not too sure. Jack was the old guy of the group, but that was only in appearance, he was one of us through and through no matter how old he truly was. The longer I knew him the more he worked his way into my heart. He was nice, fun, funny, smart and had many great stories to tell. Life was going well, he was pursuing something he loved, theater. I worked with him in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, me being part of the production team/usher/house manager and him being one of the Caiaphas the Elder, seeing as it was double cast. Shortly after the end of the play I learned that he was battling with cancer, but it didn't seem to dampen his spirits, at least outwardly. He would commonly make cancer jokes and laugh about it. July 18th (possibly the night of the 17th) he had lost his battle with cancer and had passed on. Jack is loved by everyone who he has come into contact with, I say is because we will never stop loving him no matter what. I will refrain from crying and try my best to not cry tomorrow, instead I will try to smile and laugh for all of the good times we had, I'm sure that's how you wish to be remembered. So my good friend Jack Hall, requiscat in pace.

Ok, now that I've brought the mood down I guess it's a perfect time to talk about the rest of my doings. I'm trying out the biscuit mix recipe scones, I've got to say, it ended up being a small ball of dough after I mixed everything in, so in an effort to maximize the number of scones I made them smaller. This whole thing is experimental, new scone recipe, candied oranges, orange glaze... let's hope that it turns out well. I plan to upload videos of my how to Anivia guide some point in the future but it's unclear seeing as my software is the trial version.
