Hello, strangers

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been kind of busy, kind of sick, kind of not feeling like writing about myself. So, here you go. Updates galore.

1. California was awesome. I have many pictures to share, but I haven't gotten all of them from T yet, so I figured I'd wait for chronology's sake.
   
2. For those of you I have not yet told, I have been accepted into BU's doctor of musical arts program. Hurray, East Coast!
3. After about a month of feeling shitty, I am now on my third, yes THIRD, antibiotic. Amoxicillin did nothing, Cipro didn't do much, so now it's Avelox's turn.
   
4. I went to a new doctor for the first physical I've had in a very long time. I got to pee in a cup and had two vaccinations, one of which now feels like a ping pong ball is trying to poke its way out of my upper left arm. The other one burned like a mofo in my right arm, but is now feeling fine. It was like being six again! Or, as Ted reminded me, like that time the Grizz had to be relocated for breaking into a campground trashcan. Oops. What can I say, the Grizz gets wily.
   
5. Tomorrow night is The Life and Times! Totally stoked. They do not disappoint. I'm hopeful for new tunes.
6. Oh! And for my southeastern Ohio pals, I'm heading your way at the end of this month for a recital, drinks, tales, and general madness. Lookout!
