• Updating at last

  Yes, I know it's been a long time. I've been feeling... uninspired. *shrug* A couple times, I've thought "Oh, I should go home and blog about this," but laziness always wins out. So, here I am, such as I am. What's going on in my life? Still doing Capoeira with the ASCAB center. I'm still... not terribly good at it. I still enjoy it for the most part, mostly because I don't really care that I'm bad at it anymore, but it is frustrating, both the times when I get too dizzy and out of breath and have to step out, and those times when I pair up with someone else and I can't help but feel I'm holding them back. I'm also in rehearsals for two shows. Merchant of Venice opens next week with Collingswood Shakespeare. And then, in November, I'll be playing the Fairy Godfather in a production of Sleeping Beauty with Village Playbox theater. I'm more excited over the latter. Merchant has been... eh. Attendance at practice has been low, at first because it was vacation time and a lot of people were out. Now... I feel like many of my fellow cast members have given up on the show. I will do my best, but I worry that the show will be lackluster. Sleeping Beauty will be a kid's show and I think it should be a blast!

  Other things in life... Bev still wants me to move back down to Pittsburgh. The job market down there is as bad as it is up here, so I will be sticking with my current job for the time being. I have some friends down here and I'm slowly becoming a bit more social. Oh! There's a Young Adults group for church! ^_^ We spent the night discussing last Sunday's readings. It was interesting. Our priest is a bit liberal in my tastes — you could tell that he was carefully choosing his words at times so that he could state dogma while indicating that it wasn't necessarily his personal belief — but I was able to make some input on various subjects. And there are girls too. Woohoo for Holy Women! *wry grin* Quite honestly, getting a girlfriend here in town would be a significant factor in me sticking around. Maybe it's my biological clock ticking, but I really am feeling that urge to find someone and settle down.

  One of my co-workers died on Friday. He wasn't anybody I was close to, but I knew his face. He did so young too, in his 40's, from an embolism. He'd been to the doctor the week before and was scheduled for a follow-up appointment, but he never made it to it. It's kind of scary really. It makes me wonder if I should be more worried about my health. Maybe I should go ahead and see a doctor for the occasional pain in my chest (I've been prone to it most of my life, but lately, it's been different. Less of a "feels like something's cramping along the sternum" and more of "someone stuck their fist into the left side of my rib cage and squeezed. My cholesterol readings are excellent as is my blood pressure. I don't eat as unhealthily as many people think. I exercise fairly regularly and I'm within my weight class. There probably isn't anything wrong, but how dumb will I feel if I guessed wrong? Heh... not at all since I'd probably be dead, but still.

  No other real news, I guess. Still doing PbP games on Mutants and Masterminds. I'm enjoying myself. It's enough for now.
