The Past 44 Days

Well, I know it's been a while since I've posted, so here goes a good run-down of what I've been up to the past 44 days. Just for continuity's sake (and because I can't remember exact dates), we'll just say that all of these things happened "within the last 44 days".

Went to the Adler Planetarium
My friends and I decided to go to this event called "Adler After Dark" which is a 21+ late-night soiree at the Planetarium in the city (http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/front-page). It's basically all the things that the planetarium usually offers, but with drinks and cool shows. We saw a show about the possibility of other solar systems with conditions suitable for human life and then an even more interesting show that basically gave a view of the night sky that we would be able to see from where our seats were if there were no clouds and no light pollution from the city. Apparently, from where the planetarium is actually located, if there were no clouds in the sky we would actually be able to see all of the stars we looked at. The whole thing made me miss the night sky, as we don't get to see much of it in the city. I think a good camping trip is in order, so that I can reconnect with nature and such. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and I got to cross off one museum from my to-do list for the year.

Saw a show
My friend Robert (who's actually from San Antonio, he went to NESA), was in a small theater's production of Little Shop of Horrors. I had never seen the musical before (either live or the movie version), so I was excited to see something new. It was really good, and the little black box theater was the perfect intimate setting for the amount of audience members and cast. I feel like most people have seen the movie version of this musical, but seeing something live always adds an extra element that you can't get from a movie.

Quit two jobs
That's right everyone, I am finally back down to just having one normal job instead of two or even three. Bubba Gump's business is really picking up (especially this upcoming Memorial Day onward), and I no longer require the financial backing of an extra job. It's such a relief to not have to worry about two or three different schedules, and I'm glad that, now, when people ask me where I work, I don't have to go into a diatribe about where I work and why. I'm also glad to have a job that I really enjoy and that can also pay the bills, instead of having two that each give me something different.

Went to Texas
I feel like this is a pretty big deal, and I need to cover both my birthday celebrations AND an entire wedding, so I'm making a separate post for this.

So I think that's about it for the past 44 days. Things have been really slow around here, but as summer picks up I'm sure I'll be out and about more often. I'm finally getting into a good work routine and I can start earning money and doing bigger and better things. I'll definitely be keeping everyone posted!
