Summertime!

Hey Guys . . .

Yeah, so it's been too long. Easy to find excuses not to blog isn't it? I'm going to try to be better about it. And Away We Go!

I've got a new address-Found a great one bedroom just a couple of miles from my current place and only four blocks from my friends Nate and Karen. I'm moving this weekend, and as I type this out, I'm surrounded by piles of #%$#*!! that I've some how accumulated over the year. How does that happen? Who needs this stuff? Anyway, I'm looking forward to moving in . . . it's a pretty cool apartment in a 4-plex. Here's the new address:

3320 25th AVE S #2
Minneapolis, MN, 55406

The Saints are in the middle of a 9-game winning streak right now, which is fun. Tonight is the last game of a homestand, and it'll be nice to have a few days off. July is going to be a bit light on games, but don't worry, I'll still be busy . . . I'm cast in a movie that shoots the final 3 weeks in July.

In this film-"13 Hours in a Warehouse", I play Paul-a nerdowell petty gangster who attempts to screw over my partners-in-crime by killing them and taking our "priceless museaum piece" for myself. Much to our supprise, the warehouse in which we're spending the night is infested with the ghosts of women who had been killed there! It's a big stretch from the movie I did last fall in which I played Steve-a nerdowell petty gangster who is forced to make some brutal decisions that involve killing folks while in search of a "priceless Myan artifact". Little did Steve know that the storage lot in which we spent the night is infested with the phantoms of ex-gansters who had been buried there!

I think I've found my niche.

More details to come soon! I need to run out and get some stuff done today in preparation for this weekend . . . hope everyone's well, and I look forward to hearing from all of you soon! I'll leave you with pics of my new summer cut!

Well, there should be at least 1 post in June

Hey guys! I'm hoping to re-inspire the tendency to post here--I liked hearing from you guys regularly, and you all suck about calling (except for mom :) ). Anyway, that is not to say that I have a whole heck of a lot to say. Everything's going very well up here, I'm working ~30 hrs/week at ListenUp and my hours are about to go up dramatically, probably into overtime. That's because there are 4 people, including me, who can do my job: I was hired to replace Bethany who is leaving in less than a week; Patti, the lady who hired me, recently resigned and will be officially gone (though still on part-time, unofficially, until someone can replace her as office manager) on July 3; then there's Angie, who is only working 1 day a week during the summer. Therefore, I'll probably be working open to close 5-6 days a week. I'm happy about that. I hope I don't get burned out, but it'll be nice to be making money. Plus, I'm allowed to dink around on the internet, read, or whatever else when there's nothing else to do.

Yesterday, Branden, Joe, Sarah and I went to the Renaissance Festival. I always love going there. It's always retardedly hot, but I wore sunscreen and sufficiently skimpy clothes and coped. I love all the goofy costumes, the skits, and all the vendors. It really makes me want to start creating again--most of the vendors are independant artisans: potters, sculptors, jewelry makers, sewers/designers... When I'm there, it doesn't seem to be beyond the realm of possibility.

While I was there, however, something really weird happened to my most recent injection site, on my thigh. A vaguely bird-shaped mark appeared, the same color as a sunburn, and after we got in the car and were driving home and I was in an AC'd environment, I could tell it was raised up higher than the rest of my skin. It was also tender to the touch. Other than that, pretty unremarkable--though it's still here. I put some aloe vera on it.

Other than that, I've been symptom-free! Go me!!

Okay, I think that's all I have to say. Love you all! Post more!
