badgers can be choosers...

so the eddie izzard show was pretty good. minus the stress beforehand...and after...and the smelly usher guy. other than all of that, it was fun. i will say that his older stuff is funnier, and that i could have done without the political agenda. there were a few really great moments, though, such as when he pulled out his iphone to look up shirley temple on wikipedia. a completely spontaneous moment that ate up between 5 and 10 minutes of the opening part of his act. good stuff.

last night i had a get together here at my place where rock band and the card game apples to apples were enjoyed (as well as a bit of drinking i might add :) good times with good friends...i need more of that in my life methinks. and while something did go a bit awry at the very end of the night (of which the specifics still remain unclear to me), i think an overall good time was had by all. at least i hope so, as i would like to try and keep this a monthly thing, if at all possible.

as far as the rest of life goes, things are about to start getting back to normal. i've had a good two weeks off of school and work, which has been nice as it's given me the chance to get a lot of shit done that i have been putting off for awhile now. it's amazing how productive i can be when "life" doesn't get in my way! but alas, tomorrow (or today, technically, since it's after midnight) starts a new week, and one which will require me to start a bit of a different schedule.

work starts on monday, and it seems that for the rest of the summer i'll be working nights at the lab. bleh. on the one hand i don't mind, as i get paid to do it, and it's not as though it's strenuous work. however, i have just gotten back into the habit of cooking dinner, and winding down which allows me to sleep better. i'm a bit concerned that working till 9p.m. is going to throw me off a bit, but i'm hoping to find ways of working around it. i also start a fitness class at the rec. center on monday at 10a.m. it's a hydropeutics class, which is basically water therapy for those of us with joints that act much older than our age. my doctor has recommended it as perhaps an aide in my knee, hips and back issues. he wants me to go to a specialist, but having no health insurance pretty much makes that an impossibility. so we're going to try this, and hope it offers some relief. it's an hour every monday, wednesday and friday for the next month. we shall see...

anyway. on that note, i think i'm going to have to call it a night. i haven't stayed up this late in awhile, and i'm starting to feel it. plus i've gotta start getting myself up and moving in the mornings, so i figure i should start tomorrow.
hope everyone is having a good weekend. much love to all.
