snapshot of March 2009

I write a lot at work now. I also have this batch of ghost stories I'm trying to write on the side. With FB keeping me connected to most everyone, Love and Other Drugs is getting neglected. I'm not quite ready to let it rest yet, but the updates are dwindling.

A snapshot of my life in March 2009.

Started own business in order to work directly for company instead of through a temp agency. Very exciting, but one repercussion is that banks require at least a year or two of self employed status before they'll give you a mortgage. This means we're once again looking at rentals. Very excited about a potential opportunity in Cambridge, but don't want to count any chicken pieces before they actually make it into the bucket of delicious, fried goodness.

G spent two weeks in California visiting friends and family. I missed him lots, but took advantage of one weekend to go to NYC and visit college friends. Played WII for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Brian and I ended up going to see Hair, which was brilliant! I've always loved the music, but worried how they would go about updating it. First off, they played it more like a period piece. The modern mind can't help but make a few correlations between the struggles we were facing 40 years ago and the struggles of today, but the director didn't hit us over the head with anything. They also didn't overuse complicated pyrotechnics and special effects to enhance the experience. It was really about the people on the stage...and ended up being more powerful for it. Do you hear me falling chandelier? I'm looking at YOU.

Truly enjoyed it.

Not sure what the rest of the month has in store. The Cambridge place isn't available until May 1st. This is a good thing since it'll allow us to gather the first/last/deposit together without having to dip into savings. Okay, must stop. I'm beginning to salivate over tasty chicken that may not be destined for my table.
