Healing!

Look! I am officially healing! My arm was lovely and bruised for over a week and now merely a smudge remains. It is still a little sore on the muscle but I can move it and carry things without it going nuts on me! I kept catching people staring at it on the metro or when I walked around anywhere. The funniest had to be I was in the elevator and someone asked me if my tattoo was new. I was all confused and replied, "What tattoo?" And he pointed to my arm and said, "The music note." I looked and had to laugh and explain it wasn't a tattoo but a botched blood job. Awesome. Hah.

So this weekend Ryan and I went to Ocean City. It was spontaneous. We left at about 1am Friday night, arrived around 4am Saturday morning and just spent the weekend at the beach. I was finally able to eat again and it was glorious. French toast! And beach food!!! I was so excited. The water was FREEZING cold and naturally we had to swim in it since we were there and all. After swimming we heard the ice cream truck and ironically chose to get ice cream since we are smart like that. After showering we hit the boardwalk and went on some rides, like the best roller coaster on a boardwalk I have ever been on! Usually rides down the shore are pretty dinky, but this one was genuinely cool. Lots of loops and a drop and you do it forward first and then you get to do the whole thing again backwards. See? I couldn't get the entire thing in there but you get the general idea.

Sunday we drove home again then I met up with a bunch of people for Rich's birthday to see Indiana Jones. Hokey, funny in parts, eye rolling in others. Like the monkeys... totally awful. Same for all the aliens. Too many aliens. My dad put it best, Steven Spielberg has lost his ability to tell a good story. Agreed. A lot of people apparently felt the same way. Oh Indy... the highlight of the evening was when we tried to leave the theatre in Chinatown we went through the exit at the front of the theatre and went through these random halls in the bowels of the theatre. About 50 people ended up in this random parking garage and then forging our way back to somewhere behind the Verizon Center! I then went to wait for the last green line train home and was on the platform for forty five minutes waiting for the last train of the evening. The metro lady was entertaining on the speaker system.

"Last train to Shady Grove leaving right now. I mean it, right now. Boy you better run. It is not waiting for your slow ass. Go! Run!"

"I know you did not just throw a lit cigarette over there. Right? Right. I am glad we understand one another. Now get on your damn train."

"The last train to Branch Avenue left. Sir. It left. It's gone. I don't know... get a taxi or something. No you can't just walk through the tunnels! Are you stupid?"

I got a good laugh out of it at any rate.

Ryan and his room mate Angel crashed at my place that night and unfortunately Ryan's car was towed from the Target parking lot. I told him that might happen and it didn't the first few times... but yea. Monday we then went to the Nats game. Nationals vs Brewers. We got in late, around the 4th inning, since Ryan had to go get his car, but the game ended up being 11 innings so it made up for it. It was really hot and I got some color sitting there but it was still fun, even if the Nats lost.

I started work Tuesday officially for SOTC (Summer Opera Theatre Company). 10-6 each day so far just build in. Its me, Mark, Jason, Rich, and Nick and then Matt and Anna Laura are there for just build in. I love working in theatre but I do miss acting :( I still have not heard back from the NYC internship officially. Drat.

I might go home to get my car next weekend. Maybe. We shall see. I need it for tech week otherwise I will be quite miserable 10am-11pm with metro reliability.

My Babci had a back surgery/procedure today, she seems to be doing well. Fingers crossed.

Ok I am exhausted. Yay for blogging whether it is read or not.
