Kansas one more time.

Hi folks,

It's been a good long time since we've posted on here. Shame on us!

What's new?

Nothing too crazy honestly. It snowed a bunch in Chicago today.

It was Matt Kula's birthday last night and I went out there and hung out with him and celebrated...and it seems that I have been celebrating a lot this week. From hanging out with old improv friends (but they are still current friends) to hanging out with people from Amanda's work, all of that.

Classes are going well for both of us. Improv is amazing and I'm anxious to keep moving forward and finding something that places me in the city so I can pursue it more.

I'm headed out to Kansas on Tuesday for another ten day jaunt. Last trip highlights: poison ivy, 80 degrees, and ticks. Kansas can be great when its warm, but when it gets too warm all of the ticks and chiggers wake up. And working in the woods with a lot of poison ivy, it almost becomes inevitable that you'll get it. This is, as far as I can recall, the first time I've broken out from it. It's not as bad this guy: YIKES.

It apparently just snowed like a foot there, so it will most likely have all melted by the time we go and be a muddy mess. I love spring.

I'll also be celebrating my birthday out there. I'm not hugely into my birthdays, I never have been, but let me tell you, I'm not looking forward to it. Luckily, a coworkers birthday is on April 1st, so him and I plan to celebrate.

So hard to recap everything that's happened recently. Most importantly, my computer broke and is being sent back to best buy geek quarters for assessment, hopefully they will send me a new computer or most hopingly just send me a credited amount so i can go and buy a new one. So that will happen hopefully sometime in the middle of when I'm in Kansas. Maybe I'll try to throw out a blog about the happenings there via the Super 8 hotel lobby.

I made a new life goal to never eat another cookie. Why torture myself you ask? Because whenever I eat a cookie, I eat 40 cookies. They are my weakness. So I'm staring the beast in the face. Problem is: Super 8 has homebaked cookies that are delicious.

That's all for now.

Kev!n
