It has been a few days. One might ask oneself, what have I been doing since the last entry? Well to all 2 of you who asked... I have moved!
That's right. Dom came into town, we looked at a place, signed the lease and have, now OFFICIALLY, moved in fully. It was hard. It was sweaty. It left alot of confusing brusies and cuts all over my hands. And it is now over. The goal now is to unpack all of the boxes and make this into a livable space. We both have said that we do not want to do this whole thing again, so I think we are going to be living here for at least a few years... hopefully. When returning the truck today, I saw a questionairre that asked, "How often have you moved in the last 10 years?". This got me thinking. How many different places have I lived in 10 years? That would be 97... so that would be... Woodinville, Redmond, U-District, Capital Hill, Woodinville, Mill Creek, Culver City and now Glendale... 8! 8 times I had to do this pack/move/un-pack thing. I am over it now I think. But it's done and we live in a nice two bedroom one bath with a nice sized living room and kitchen. What's really nice is that I am not nearly as allergic to Marilyn as I thought I would be. (Marilyn is Dom's cat.) I do have to take a Clariton a day, but that's not bad at all. We had the cable guy come out yesterday to set us up with tv and internet... but I think that we got the lazy, on the way out guy as he said he couldn't find to cable... he could find it outside, but couldn't see where it entered the house. So now we have to wait until he supervisors come out and check to see if he is right, and THEN they will send a crew to install it. So probably will be down until Tuesday at the earliest. Sucks. Don't mind the no TV, but I am kind of addicted to the interwebs. Right now I am pirating someone in the complex that didn't secure their line.
Other news. I had a talk with my boss on Monday about my job and my need to get more money. He and I had a nice conversation that ended with me picking up a few projects and then getting a review in two weeks. Hopefully I will get a raise ome January. If not, it's no big deal, I will just go with a temp agency. Speaking of jobs. Jon is employing Dom today for his first job in LA. See. Come to LA, Ben will get you work that he can't get himself.
Had my performance review yesterday at Improv Class. It was a little nerve wracking as I hadn't done any improv in about two weeks. The way he ran it this time was to give us things that he felt we needed to work on and then have us go and do a scene. Most people got notes like, "You need to be a little less joky, you need to try to be less/more of a character, you need to be alittle less dominate..." so on. They mostly got one or two notes. Me? Well I got a ton. Which just makes me believe even more firmly that this teacher thinks I am really no good. And after my scene, I feel I agree with him. He said that I needed to work on not being "high status", or too high energy, that I shouldn't force the scene or create problems that need to be worked around, that I need to be less of a character... so I take all of those notes and go into the scene... and I don't do anything. Now, granted, my partner was given pretty much the opposite set of notes from me so she came out high energy and high status and led the scene, so I really didn't need to do much talking. Still. I need more practice. After class Ashley and I, along with a classmate Mike, talked once again about getting more people together on off days to just do it. Mike said that instead of asking about the best days, we should just tell people that we are meeting on a certian day and they can show up if they can. All I know is that I need to do it. I wish that I had more money so that I could take more then one class per week.
