Happy Birthday Rio!

This happened early last week, but I just didn't get to it until now. Happy 1,000 miles to my little Rio! I was pretty exciting when I happened to glance down at my odometer. It was also an interesting challenge to shift, drive, and take a picture at the same time.

About shifting... I'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely.

I went to my parents last weekend to take my dog to the vet* so I gave my little car a thoroughly cleaning inside and out at the same time. Naturally, birds crapped on it as soon as I got back to my place. Bitches.





*I've had my dog since I was in 3rd grade. She is now quite old and suffers from arthritis, deafness and incontinence. I had to take her in to get her prescriptions renewed. She is still a happy dog when her arthritis is under control and still completely adorable. And still my longest and my best friend.

Taste of Broadway

I fulfilled a goal this afternoon when I went and saw Avenue Q in Portland. I first heard a song from the soundtrack and loved it freshman year of college. It's rude, offensive, vulgar, awesome, and hilarious. In short, Sesame Street for adults. Four point five years ago I told Sarah "If this comes to Portland. We are seeing it."

Well it came, and a group of friends saw it no questions asked. It was everything I could hope for and then some. I don't think I have been that entertained and happy in a long time. It truly is a great show. But I really can't say enough about it or describe it. If you haven't heard it, download/buy the soundtrack and listen to it. It is truly amazing.

I'm also basically in love with the guy in this picture now.

Back to school, back to school

PSU's summer term started on Monday. I'm taking two courses: science-fiction literature and fencing. These will earn me 6 quarter credits, 3 semester credits. This will put me at the 150 semester credits necessary to sit the CPA exam... but that's not the exciting part.

Now that I bought them, I have no excuses. I needed them for fencing, but also wanted them for running. I bought them, I'm committed, and now I must run. I've run the past two days and my legs are already hating me. It's going to be a funtastic summer.

Even the simple "an guarde" position of fencing, the opening one, makes me likes begin to cry. The profes... "coach" is a nice guy. Horrible speaker though. He just seemed uncomfortable talking to us in a lecturing atmosphere.
