Things i have recently done:
– Began listening to various discourses on philosophically oriented activites
– i’ve seen a great deal of good movies
– Story of the Weeping Camel -> very good documentary about the chinese (sp?) nomadic people.
– Spring, Summer, Fall, Winder, ….. and Spring -> very interesting korean film that follows the patterns of nature, the patterns of humanity, and and how both interact with each other. It is in a buddhist setting. Other then the moral truthes one can gleam from the film, a major reason to watch the film is to see the scenery. The film takes place on a floating shrine in the center of a lake and as time progresses the lake changes. It is a beautiful film.
– Serenity -> this is for the geek in me. I like sci fi sometimes, and what better then cowboys in space? I tell you they were made for each other. Cowboys and space that is. Forced me to find and watch the tv show it is based on called firefly. Series is a lot better then the movie, at least it is when they spend their time in space.
– Planning for my brother’s trip to NYC. Trey was supposed to come up here yesterday, but Amanda became very ill and like a very giving and responsible person he postponed his trip here. Amanda is in the hospital right now. She is suffering from vertigo and absolute nausea. She has been vommiting so much that she became dehydrated. Last i heard the doctors couldn’t find a direct cause, and thereby ordered a CAT scan. I hope everything goes well. Certain people haven’t kept me up to date as to her condition. The good news is trey will be rescheduling his flight at a later date, apparently it was pretty cheap rescheduling it. The bad news is that i have to go to NIN concert without him. Of course Mary stepped up and offered to buy the ticket from me, which is actually a lot of help to me and very appretiated, but i can’t help having a desire to have seen NIN with Trey. We also had a Jazz concert scheduled on Tuesday. Mary already had a ticket to go to that, and so we are currently looking for someone else who would like the ticket.
– I really miss Trey. It is strange but i didn’t think his postponing of this engagement would have struck me as hard as it did. I can not even imagine how it has struck him. His desire to come up here was not simply to see me but to escape his current predicament, and i think his was also a desire to see NYC.

I will be so bored this week, and the following weekend. Mary planned on leaving us with the whole apartment next weekend. I was planning on doing a bunch of stuff, but now i will simply have to entertain myself…………… i could always look for a better job…. grrr… or study for the gre… grrrrrrrr….. or ……………………………………………………………………………………….. bleh
