Wanted to check in.
Past weekend has been amazing though I have SERIOUSLY slacked on my final project for my flash class. :/
Austin and I celebrated our 3 year! He surprised me with a trip to Lakeridge Winery and then an overnight stay in Mt Dora. Good food and lots of wine.... and being with my soulmate. It was perfect and so relaxing.
But now here I am home, lethargic and 3 pounds lbs heavier... Le Sigh.
It's going to be a hectic week... work, finishing classes, anniversary diner on Tuesday and then off to NY!
So yeah... I suppose I better start my hw.....

The Batman
So I've "had" the last two days off of work.. but yea not really. I've been glued to my computer and I'm pretty getting pretty antsy... 12 hours a day really is unhealthy.
Of course I have more to do right now but I took a break to watch a spanish soap opera. Man right now this woman is beating the crap out of another woman... in spanish!
Learning spanish is going well I suppose... just forging through.
I was supposed to go to a spanish speaking meetup yesterday but couldn't go due to computer work. :/ Austin went though (I swear he's my liason) and he had a blast and he demands I go next time.
I did get to go to batman last night though! The first showing. Really just went for the spectacle (unlike some I enjoy the bantery and excitment of the crowd at a movie opening). I do like Batman but I wasn't expecting much.
But like many other surprise movie delights this summer I loved it! Woah intense... so intense... and twisted. The acting was amazing................ Like the last one though the action was often too quick to know what was going on and then ended in a snap... out of no where. But towards the end it just got plain bad ass. So many twists! I'm glad I did not follow the press leading up to the movie because I felt I got even more suprised by the events of the movie. This movie is the best of the series!
One thing I HATED about the movie was their insistance to call him "THE batman" not just batman. At first I thought it was a joke.. but over and over they used the article before hand. It's like how people call it "THE Ukraine" when really it doesn't need the article (too bad I do that).
Woah! Now that woman is being beaten up by a man... in spanish!
The batman must do homework - S
I have an "open" weekend.. yea right. Not with hw.

Super Busyness of Me
This past week has consisted of Austin's B-day and lots of traveling to see family.
1. Austin's B-day
He got...
- a icecream cake surprise at work
- Dinner at PFChangs (the Tapas place we were going to go to was closed...)
- A Movie, Hancock: This movie I did not want to see... but was SURPRISINGLY surprised? I really realllly liked it. Novel, yet at times trite it was a refreshing action superhero movie. Will Smith only bothered me a little.
- Pre-ordered FFIV on DS for him
- 5 gallons of beer.
Twas so pleasant. :)
2. Went to PSl to see my Aunt Valarie, cousin Jessica and Uncle Bob. With me and Austin moving to Spain in a year it was worth it to rearrange some life details so I could see them. It was a very nice and surprisingly lowkey visit. Taught them the ways of the Wii.
3. Went to Auburndale to visit Austin's Mom (his b-day wish). Had really good sushi as per usual. Now I'm doing work on her couch.
4. I forgot! We also had a Y.A.W.E.R.S. meeting! Went well. Five people (although 4 read the book). Still that made me happy. I still need to up the advertisment though of the club.
Upcoming Events...
1. Swing Knights big dance this coming Friday. Shall be fun.
2. Southern Bell Swing Bash! I registered! Let's hope I can go! I'm so excited. Makes me nervous though to plan so far ahead when I know things will be hectic in the fall.
3. NY to visit my cousin. Hopefully soon. I'm rearranging things right now.
4. Boston for Nina's 21st! My back account will be angry but it shall be fun.
5. School ending for the summer.. in 3 weeks. And I will have to make 3 flash games... (and finish another). A little scared. In consequence I'm trying to keep my weekends open for work/homework.
6. I'll be assisting in selling a beer business on EBay. It's a really good opportunity for me and I plan doing my darndest to make it succesful.
7. Have enough in my back account now to atleast buy two roundtrip tickets to spain! I'll be transferring all the saved money over to an online account to get a higher APR. I just have to figure out taxes and my IRA contribution for this year.... and the rest will go towards the big move.
8. Becoming fluent in Spanish. Going well so far. I've already accidentally answered someone in spanish without thinking. This excites me.
9. Becoming fit. Too bad this week I have barely worked out. It seems once I added becoming fluent to my schedule something else had to go. I'll do my best to shove both back into the ole schedule.
Okay I could list forever... time to stop putting off my flash hw.

P.S. Saw Bladerunner and it sucked... I can appreciate it being groundbreaking though.

Productivo
So my mind is in a bit of a "lenga tormenta" as I like to call it.
Today I started a full on assault on the fact that I am not fluent in spanish yet I plan to move there in a year.
Really it was me figuring out how to install and activate rosetta stone and then playing through 3 lessons worth. This was. all. day. (8hours so far).
I also spoke at quite a length with austin in espanol.
I also changed my facebook so that all the instructions are in spanish.
I feel a bit knotted up inside and my tongue is a bit heavy but there's been good progress and the ice has been broken. Rompe hielo.
Too bad in the process of this progress I neglected my mounting to-do list which includes:
- phone calls being returned
-flash hw
-orlx website work
-various projects for my dad
and
exercise.
In fact other than dancing I haven't been working out these last 4 days and I fear losing momentum. I shall have to pounce back on it tomorrow... err... Tuesday. Tomorrow is Austin's B-day.
He made 5 gallons of beer today.
Other things... had a dance gig on friday and must have lost 5 pounds. Went to a wedding Saturday and gained 5 pounds.
And Happy July 4th! - S
I may need a spanish o-log.
