Well Kaila and I had been intending to move in the next 2 months, but due to an offer from Kaila's father we are waiting till december. Her family is covering all the moving and her father is getting us into a 2 bedroom with its own washer/dryer and dishwasher. As well a couple utilites are included in the rent vs none. the rent is the same as I'm paying now but I'd be in oak park so my transit bill is cut in half if not a 1/3 of what is currently. Once we get the place in oak park after were settled Kaila and I will host a party and ivite peoples over for food and beer.

Three Things. This meme really has me thinking very hard...

1. I nearly fell off a mountain while vacationing in burchesgardens, germany.
2. I won a minor art scholorship and had my work featured at the local library as a gallery showing while in highschool.
3. Some of my art work has been published in a book for use by the W hotel chain to show an up coming hotel.

My week todate

What a rush this weeks been allready.
Sunday- I broke a wisdom tooth that was schedualed to come out this coming saturday.
Monday- I was kindly put ahead of some people at the specialists practice to get my upper wisdom teeth removed. I was given so much novacain on the side with the broken wisdom tooth that my whole right side of my face went numb and was drooping, my eye was twitching like crazy. The procedure took perhaps 15 minutes to remove both teeth. I dident head into work as I was still in a good deal of pain and codine made me all sorts of loopy.
Tuesday- back to the grind stone, I felt like my day was moving as the speed of SLOW. nothing to do and nothing to practice on made for a very long day.
Wednesday- Kaila and I went into her next dr's appointment, got another ultrasound picture. Currently on the train on my way to work writing this.

Rental situation

Well its shaping up slowly but its looking like Kaila and I will be Oak Park in the near future (1-3 month time frame). Kailas father works for a construction company and its owner has some rental properties that the price isint to bad on, were hoping her dad might be even able to shave an extra 50 off the top of the price as well so we shall see. If we do get into oak park, Ill be able to just jump on the green line and get off the L right behind where I work now that would be nice.

resistance is futile
just about this time last year I was laid up in a hospital bed, then for some internal bleeding from stomach.

Just got back from the hospital, I done broke my foot. Nothing major no cast, but I have this really stylish new shoe to wear for the next 3 weeks.

A rendering I did of a spa has made it into a book mind you no one will really see it. Its part of an internal graphic design book of the W hotel chain. Still a first for me.

Crisis
The local manager for the apartment complex I'm in canceled the 600 dollar fine they were going to hit me with for paying on the last day I could pay rent. Finances dont seem quite so bleak for a change of pace. Nice to be able to put that overtime into savings instead of spending it on nothing.

The subject says it all.

My work is paying for me to learn Manadarin. I put my name in the hat and to be honest I never thought they would take me for the class. Well at least not for the first round of students for it.

Always nice to hear people want you to come back to larp, I just dont feel the desire to. I've been tempted to find something local, I know the harper kids still run. Funnily enough I ran into a harper player a couple weeks back who tried hard to get me to come play. At least it would be local.

I've wanted to go back to Werewolf larping but at the same time I dont want to drive... or game on a sunday lol.

Well take it easy folks.
