A buddy of mine left a voice mail for me while I was in a meeting today. It seems after his second try he finally got into med school. Congrats is in order (as soon as I can get a minute to call him).

I am a bit confused on the time line.

He's 28 now.
+4 years for school-school.
+4 years for residency
+8ish years for specialization (neruo-whatcha-mah-hooze-it).

That's a lot of time. Here's a salute to his hopeful dedication to sticking with it for that long. I mean a BS in Chemistry and a JD took about seven years to get - what's another sixteen?

This of course presents an interesting option. A second mutual friend has been daydreaming of buying a house and having PreMed and I rent space from him. Hmm... the monetary saving versus living in the fortress of solitude. I'll see what the "savings" might be and weigh that against my enjoyable rut of being by myself. I have a funny feeling someone's going to get hurt feelings.

In other news I am somewhat shocked at that my biggest fan had not seen my presence on the not-myspace social network. I guess my BiggestFan doesn't check my Attorney's profile often enough.

I had the joy of finding my Visa check card being declined Sunday. Strange. After a talk with my bank it seems some ass hat took my card number (through what means I am unsure) and spent 113.00 at Randalls is Houston on Saturday.

How annoying.

Now it's the seven to ten business day wait to get a new one, and I need to comb through my billing to make sure nothing else cropped up uncaught or known.

I think the rep was amazed how easy I took the whole thing - I tried to tell them I used to do this (the credit card fraud tracking) in a past life with First Data. The whole process is old hat, but no less annoying it happened to me.

Wow.. I just watched the last half of "God Said, HA!" - a one woman monologue by Julia Sweeney about the time surrounding her brother getting cancer.

That was freaking amazing. Well thought out, good choice of set and movement, funny jokes inside the difficult time, and a nice insight into someone else's life.

I would highly suggest watching it when you catch it on Showtime or one of those movie channels. Hell rent the damn thing if you can find it.

IMDB: "God Said: HA"
the book
the dvd

Maybe I got to telling this to my fans or maybe I didn't. June 13th (Saturday) I officiate my first wedding ceremony. Yeah.. pretty bad ass right?

Thank you 89.7 the River and your 411 on the music!

1. Courtney Love's new CD is due out the end of this year (Already knew that)
2. It is is going to be under the band Hole and not a solo album.
3. Billy Corrigan, of Smashing Pumpkins fame, helped out with the cd.
4. C.Love is getting shit ironed out for a Hole tour next year.

My OMG?! WTF?!!11! Factor took an exponential increase from 1-4.

I hope the tour is somewhere near - there will be no doubt that I am going.

*squeeeeee!*

June 3rd (that would be a Wednesday) I hiked my ass down the Whiskey Roadhouse to see Better than Ezra. I was a bit unsure how this was supposed to go down - I circled the casino grounds looking for any freaking sign that would indicate this is where you would enter to see a concert. No - every damn entrance was filled with shuffling elderly coming with their meager savings or going with the hollow desire to return with more pittance to offer.
