boring stuffs

so, i haven't updated in a while, but i don't have much to report, so i'll just fill you in on all the non-exciting things have been going on.

- school started last week. thankfully, i've taken care of all my reqs, so i only have to take 8 units to be enrolled, which can include "independent study" units. so it's going to be an easy quarter...

- which i really need 'cuz i'm still working on my dissertation proposal...could be a lot worse, but - yawn, i'm even boring myself - so, 'nuf about that.

- my old supervisor called me up about a month ago and asked for some help 'cuz there's some staff turnover in the office. needed the extra cash, so now i'm working a little for her again.

a bit more exciting:

- helped my bro and sis-in-law move into their place in garden grove on sat...my niece has got to be one of the cutest kids out there, and she knows it! yup, it's like she already knows how to wrap people around her little, little finger...

- went to vcious' triathlon a few weeks ago and got up-close-and-personal with some sweaty stars. among them, david duchovny, william h macy, one of the husbands on "desperate housewives" (something denton), that other guy (not charlie sheen) on "two and a half men"...i think there's more, but i was too awestruck by the fact that these people willingly put themselves through that torture to really be all that starstruck. watching hordes of people running into the ocean at 7:30 a.m. made me really question their sanity...all except for vcious, aaron, and chris, of course. you guys are amazing... ;p

- gonna go see the killers this thursday...and then u2 in november! my brother won tickets at a fund-raiser poker tournament, and since he's already seen them, he super-generously gave them to me!!! i've always said that that's the one band i want to see live, so once i see them, i'll be able to take a break from concerts...i'm all concerted out!
