March 5

Each week I look forward more and more to the weekend.  Tonight we were able to stay up and watch 2 episodes of South Park.  One of the guards, Wilfred, come in and watched it with us.

Most nights now we are able to go to the gym and work out at nine o’clock.  I’m not as sore as I was last time, but I am getting fat and that concerns me.

[Counselor] got pissed off at me today.  Strangely, I enjoy making her mad.  I put in a couple of silly requests, one asking for funds to hire a secretary preferably female and one asking to rezone out unit to commercial so we could sell crack.  She takes things far too seriously.

She also gave me a copy of the correction act, but she gave me one that was old (92) and had some pages missing.  So I put in a request which was kind of rude, she thought, and again she got pissed at me.  Ha ha.  The good part is (well besides seeing her get mad and not being able to do anything about it) was that I gave her my parole plan and I think she’ll get it in for me.  She seemed helpful about that.  We had a new female guard here today, not bad looking, but Jennifer didn’t bring us pills this week, that’s too bad.  I guess on good thing about the weekend is that I don’t have to see Nurse xxx.

I called Wayne this evening I didn’t have a whole lot to talk to talk to him about, but I like to keep in touch.  I’d like it if he too moved to Ontario.

I’m going over to the other unit quite a bit to play cards lately.  It seems more fun around here since John moved in.  He’s kind of a jolly guy.  All the guys in that unit, in medium [security] actually are alright except maybe Abby.  He can be a bit of a pinhead and he cheats at cards.  Doesn’t really bother me that much, but I’m glad he’s not in our unit.

We watched Oz tonight too.  It seems to be a pretty good show.  I’ll probably like it a lot when I get to know the characters.  Right now, Andrew just found out that someone ([Terrence]) soaked his bed and put crackers all through it.  He’s stomping around, pissed off.  I offered him a set of sheets, as I have an extra set.  No, I think I’ll go to bed and read more of Bracas Brain.

I was up at nine o’clock this morning to go to the gym for a workout.  I stayed with Richard this morning and followed him through his exercises which I found easier and more logical than John and Moe’s.  Then I went back to bed ‘til 3 o’clock.  And then I played some cards, watched some TV – pretty average day, but a reasonably pleasant day.

This morning I set the clock ahead 2 hours and told Andrew to get up for lunch.  It was kinda funny.  Other than that nothing too interesting happened, no confrontations with guard, etc.  “Superscrew” is working tonight, so we have to go to bed at eleven and then get up after he leaves at twelve (if one of the better guards comes on).  Woody might be working, but he’s a bit of a pinhead.

I wasn’t able to get to call home tonight when I tried it was busy and then all the slots were taken.  I was thinking that they might come in tomorrow, but I guess it’s going to storm, so that’s not likely.  Looks like we’ll be stormstayed.  Oh well …
