On A More Personal Note

I've had other things going on besides the interviews that I've neglected to post about. Until now.

I put Project Inoperable Brain Tumor into action yesterday with an email to my temp agency, which, in all its worthless glory, has declined to write back yet. If I don't hear anything, I'm talking to my supervisor here on Friday. Although now I'm getting cold feet about quitting. I'm worried it will destroy my temp karma.

Last week I decided that I want to learn Spanish. I was vacillating for a while between Spanish and Portuguese (which is pretty big in Boston), but I think I'd get more use out of Spanish. Plus I think we all know Spanish to some degree already. Just from living in my sketchy neighborhood, I can already say some basic, useful things like "El caballo es muerto - necesito agua!," "Espero que los tiburones te coman.," and "No tengo mucho dinero." And why, you ask, do I want to learn Spanish? Because temping is So Freaking Boring! I have to find something to do that stimulates my brain in some way. I've got to make the decision by the end of next week - I think the registration deadline for the classes I want to take is the 9th.

I also decided I want to find an orchestra to play in (see: temping is boring, supra.) It's been 5 years since I played with other people (or, frankly, at all) and I really miss it. So I looked for groups that practice near where we're moving (soon - please god soon!!) and decided to email one that looked decent. The conductor wrote back the same day to say they happened to have an opening in the horn section & could I come to the next practice. Yay! So I am very excited about that. My first rehearsal is tonight. I've been practicing for the last two days, and I totally suck, and I still can't play for more than 20 minutes at a time, but I'm sure I could be decent again in a month or so.

There's more, but I'm not sure I want to post about it yet. Maybe I will next week when I'm all drugged up. I got a thick wad of prescriptions in the mail for the dentist thing, including antibiotics, rinse, 20 vicodin, and 4 ambien. Mmm...drugilicious. Just add ice cream and you've got delicious, nutritious Coma Floats!
