And it continues..

Sooo...yeah.

Saw my doctor on Monday and I'm pulled from work until November 12th. Still in a lot of pain, losing my range of motion, workman comp. dicking me around. It's all fun and games here kiddies.

On another note...school may very well be the death of me. I love the challenge, I really do, but I have to wonder when I'm going to hit that point of "enough is enough, I can't do it anymore" and if I'll hit it soon enough to do something about it. I've got one show going up next week, another in the build process, midterms, projects, more projects and more projects, papers and regular everyday homework on top of that. I spend almost every free minute doing something school related. And then I sit here in my few minutes of breathing room and type a blog or read a few more pages in a book.

I know most people think I read like a maniac (usually 2-3 books per day), but I swear to god if it weren't for reading I'd have gone crazy already. At least when I get a chance to sit down and read something (non-school related mind you) I get a few minutes to just step away from everything, to relax and to reflect. It makes me feel sane again, especially when everything is so out of control. Lately it's been Jasper Fforde. The man is a genius. He writes about classic literature like its all alive. It's truly an enlightening way to look at things, and the main character, Thursday Next, kicks absolute ass. I've already read the first 4 books in his series and I'm about to go buy the 5th and then start picking up the books in his other series that is sort of a sub-plot to the original.

I've also discovered a new favorite TV show (besides Dexter and Charmed and all my other cheesy addictions): Califonication. It kicks some serious ass, and it makes some great observations about this crazy world we live in, especially in California. It kind of reflects on the destructiveness and plasticity of society, and yet at the same time stresses the importance of family and personal growth and strength in the face of adversity and everyday life. It's amazing deep and yet CRUDE at the same time. Impressive.

Halloween is getting close. My costume is still sitting on my Dress-dummy waiting to be sewn together. This one armed business is getting a little frustrating. Either way, David's going to help me get it done tomorrow, so it will be done in time for the Halloween party we're going to on Saturday after the wedding we are also going to on Saturday. I even found a way to incorporate a matching sling! Yay!

So yeah, things are crazy as ever, but moving along none-the-less. Looking forward to a time where I can post things that are a lot more positive in nature.

Here's to better times.
