The Big Chill

I have to blame my recent lack of posts on the fact that the heating system in my house is on the fritz and the mere act of exposing my fingers to the keyboard for an extended period of time is quite painful. Not to mention the fact that the numbness in my hands causes quite a few gramattical errors.

I think it's pretty clear now that my aunt has completely stopped giving a shit. Not to sound like a baby but i'm really painfully poor, cold and hungry. I know i'm an adult and all, but she's a WEALTHY adult with a JOB who could easily send the heat fixer guy over here and drop me off some groceries before she goes to work. I don't know what I did to garner such indifference?

Add to that, the fact that there hasn't really been too much to update lately. I've really been immersed in school and hospital work. I haven't missed a day in weeks and i'm really trying to keep up these good grades i've got going. Mid-terms are right around the corner!

Last weekend's respite came in the form of heading to damn near the Bronx to help my friend Vicky learn how to use her new turntables. She got a super good deal and is a quick learner. I was teaching her how to scratch and juggle and beat match a little. I still remember how excited I was to get my first tables when I was 16. Nothing like it. Luckily I had a great advisor in the form of DJ Platurn (www.djplaturn.com/)



That training session was followed by a $4 six-pack of King Cobra tall cans and a delicious torta from her neighborhood truck. Then me and my friend Oi Yin trekked back to Brooklyn where we got hammered at Bay's and crashed out. Only to be lovingly woken up by chocolate chip pancakes made from scratch. (I love you Bay)

Following that amazing morning a gang of us theatre hopped and caught "Quantum of Solace" and "Role Models" back to back. Both were surprisingly good and it was a perfect way to spend a hungover lazy afternoon...

And now i'm finishing off a week of hepatobilliary and gastrointestinal system testing. Advanced lower extremity positioning labs and patients who can't speak english flashing me their boobies.

This weekend I return to Boston with Casey to celebrate Leile and Kuau's birthdays. Watch Casey play in a volleyball tournament, and possibly get super high off of bottles and bottles of Robitussin :) TGIF!!
