finally i got a call from paul. his platoon has been getting in trouble so he hasn't been able to call. i was really happy to hear his voice.

we were busy today. it was my borther's birthday and we celebrated it with a trip to the california science center. we watched the IMAX fighter pilot movie and watched the marvel science exhibit that was really interesting (i mean comics = fantasy... and science exhibits based on them?) and really informative. i was going to go buy him a cake at the pheonix bakery but i ended up going south on the 110 so we just drove home. my mom bought a cake and we ate dinner with grandma and grandpa.
