Let’s get past that and on to the real content, shall we?

Since mid-March… hrm. Concert with Ann Hampton Callaway at the Roberts Orpheum fka the American Theatre. (I was giddier about the balcony on stage right where Eddie Vedder swung around in the video for [I think] “Alive”.) Managed to appear for roughly 3.2 seconds on NBC Nightly News; video and story are still online. (That one stupid sentence appeared in a Parade Magazine classroom-related bit too, apparently.) Somebody tried stealing Nigel, but failed miserably; we missed this year’s gay rodeo as a result, but the good news is that the insurance will handle all costs beyond the deductible (to include new driver’s side window and door handle and key lock, shroud for steering column, and some newly-surfaced dents on the door proper). Had appointments with our nurse practitioner (last week) and optometrist (today); everything is peachy keen on that front, though my eyeballs still hurt a bit (student optometrist + first day of clinicals with real patients = NERVOUS and a wee bit rough). Looking at houses with 4+ bedrooms, as ye olde clock is ticking. Been working out pretty well, doing squats et al. for legs and using the Perfect Pushup (as recommended by Jocko) for upper body; legs are progressing as normal but I am completely loving the P.P. bars even though (and perhaps because) they kick my ass. Got my mother hooked on Lush by giving her a gift assortment thingy for her bday.

Work… uh, well, I’m still employed, even though some days it is VERY TEMPTING to call somebody a vapid self-absorbed fuckwit. Still in the market for something else, if any of you know of anything.

Fred’s good. He keeps up with his classwork better than me (cough, cough), and is in the thick of clinicals. Sometime in June or July he’ll receive his provisional license for massage therapy, and can start seeing actual clients rather than those who swing by the school. (He already has a couple lined up…) However, he is a bigger blogslacker than I, hint hint.

My ten-year high school reunion fast approaches. Honestly, I don’t care. In the prepwork I found quite a few people on MySpace that I’d rather avoid, and only two that I’d actually want to see again (one of whom I’d only want to see because I had a notable crush on him in HS). Better to stick to electronic means as far as I’m concerned, because that way I can be much more selective.

That’s all I can think of. Please ask if you want to know anything further. (can’t guarantee that i’ll give you the answer you seek, but you are more than welcome to ask.)
