Friday, May 4

Yes I'm still alive. Sorry, I know its been a month since I last blogged. I guess I've been really busy the past month that I haven't really been up to blogging.

I was stressed out last month trying to find a new place to live. And luckily we found a new place a few miles away in Tustin. Wow, after almost 10 years, I'm finally out of Irvine for the first time. Well, I moved home for a couple of months after graduation, but that doesn't really count. Still trying to settle in, had to buy a new washer/dryer and fridge which put a dent in my wallet. But this time around, I LOVE doing laundry. I love our LG set, no more having to charge a stupid card and pray your laundry gets dried. Hopefully by this weekend, I'll have all my boxes put away downstairs and we'll be finally settled. I think the only thing that sucks is the commute to work. Yeah, we live closer, but all the streets and freeways are full. I actually have to backtrack to Jamboree in Irvine, then work my way around the old Tustin Marine base. And plus, they have a lot of construction going on with the opening of The District. So that sorta sucks.

But so far, I love it here. I actually have walking space in this room. Its cool cuz Tustin has its ghetto and its really nice areas. Unlike Irvine, where the most ghetto part I can think of is the Park Watts apartments on Michelson and Culver. Ghetto = cheap.

As for work, its been busy as hell for me. I had this promo we did for RENT, where people would submit themselves singing their favorite RENT songs and then upload it on youtube. The winner got to join the cast for a short scene during the April 27th performance. It was a pretty cool experience, and I even met the winner and took some pictures of him during his rehearsal and costume fitting. Some of the contestants had talents, others just made your ears hurt. Seriously, it'd be like "FUCK! Enough already!"

But yeah other than the promo, I've had other stuff to do. And it doesn't help to have Broadway musicals running back to back weeks. That's when I'm most busy. So I've ended up having to work later than I should. It sucks when you set yourself a schedule to work with, and then all these other people ask, hey can you do this, can you do that, etc. Sometimes I wish I had my own office where no one can bug me. Hopefully I can take a day off next week.

I seriously love my connections. Connections as in getting tickets to various venues, whether its free, discounted, or having to pay but with really dope seats. I got my tickets for Incubus in July booked. AND I found out they're gonna be in Irvine in September at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. And yes, I have connections to that place also. I seriously need to make a list of all the freebies and hookups to all the stuff I went to the past couple of years.

Got about a month left until the mudrun. Been running a lot, but not as much as I should. After I get settled, I'll be able to run 3-4 times a week. Tomorrow's 6 miler will be the longest run for me. Not too bad tho, since I did 5 last week. Even though I walked parts of it.

Anyhow, have a safe Cinco de Mayo. Hopefully I'll be blogging more often!
