This much is certain.  I have no excuses for you &#8211; I&#8217;ve just been lazy.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s been happening with me?  Hmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>I&#8217;m working on a show.<\/b>  Well, kinda.  A friend of mine asked me to call her show for her.  And hey, work is work.  All I know about it at this point is that it&#8217;s called &#8220;&#8216;Found&#8221;, we tech Sunday and Monday and open on Tuesday for 5 nights.  If there&#8217;s a script, I sure as heck haven&#8217;t seen it.<\/p>\n<p><b>There was dinner last week on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merazdesigns.com\/blog\">Stacey<\/a>&#8216;s birthday.<\/b>  That was fun.  I ate buffalo for the first time.  At least, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m told.  I really couldn&#8217;t taste any difference.  But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merazdesigns.com\/jeniper\/\">Jen<\/a> says it&#8217;s good for me, and I always listen to Jen (or else she&#8217;ll hit me upside the head &#8211; which hurts.)<\/p>\n<p><b>I&#8217;ve been sleeping.  A lot.<\/b>  Ah, sleep.  There, I am a viking.  I don&#8217;t quite understand why, but lately I&#8217;ve been sleeping even more than usual.  Last Friday night, I came home from work, fell asleep at about 8pm, and didn&#8217;t wake up until around 2pm on Saturday afternoon.  (Apparently several cell phone calls and loud door knocking failed to rouse me.)  I don&#8217;t quite understand why I&#8217;ve been so tired, but that&#8217;s the primary reason there haven&#8217;t been any new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.re-run.com\/review\">re-views<\/a> of late.  Also, due to EXTREME SLEEPING! I missed several lunches and Fat Cat opportunities when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveandtwenty.com\/ursasine\/\">Becca<\/a> was home.<\/p>\n<p><b>I know why there are interstate highways in Hawaii.<\/b>  Finally peeved enough by that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honda.com\">Honda<\/a> commercial, I turned to the internet to find the answer to this riddle.  One Google search later, I found my <a href=\"http:\/\/users.erols.com\/ovoss\/FAQs-page3.htm#why-Interstates\">answer<\/a>:  Hawaii has three (well, FOUR, technically) highways built as part of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.  And since Hawaii&#8217;s three major freeways connect military installations, they qualify for the network and are signed as Interstates H-1, H-2, and H-3.  (H-3, completed in full in 1997,  is the highway used in the commercial, and is said to have some outstanding views.)  There is, according to the information I have found, no plans for a bridge or tunnel to the mainland.  (Yet.)  Yet more useless knowledge crammed into my brain.<\/p>\n<p>And, oh yeah, <b>I&#8217;m buying a condo.<\/b> This isn&#8217;t such a new development to most of you, and I would have posted about this earlier, but it turned out that the first place I signed a contract for was a certified Money Pit, of the Tom Hanks\/Shelley Long variety.  I have since broken that contract and have found another, much better cared-for condo in Canal Pointe &#8211; at least, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m hoping the inspection on Thursday verifies for me.  I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed until then.  At some point, I&#8217;ll put up some &#8220;before&#8221; pictures and the floor plan.  If all goes well, we close on July 10 &#8211; this doesn&#8217;t give me a whole lot of time to get the necessary work done (floors, lighting fixtures, painting, etc.) prior to when we have to be out of the Apartment o&#8217; Fun on July 31, but I&#8217;m confident that we&#8217;ll make it.  (Don&#8217;t be surprised if you read something about a painting party and\/or a call for moving help in this space next month&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much everything for now.  Presuming I don&#8217;t get distracted by a shiny object, I&#8217;ll be posting more often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I haven&#8217;t been the most prolithic blogger the last few weeks.
