Wall Street Got Drunk

While sipping on mineral water this afternoon it occurred to me I hadn't updated in a while. So here I am. I'm trying to come up with the new and exciting developments in my life the past couple weeks but am drawing a blank. Gotta love Summer.

I finished my EMT class last week. The skills testing and final went well and I'm pretty pleased with having learned so much in only 6 weeks. I take my National Registry exam tomorrow in Pasadena so I'm pretty nervous/excited for that. If I pass I'll be certified and can apply for licensure in LA Country (or wherever else).

I surprised myself and began packing today...3 days before we leave. That's a pretty amazing thing. I'm getting really stoked for the trip...should be awesome.

Looking at the title of this post, the first name that probably comes to mind is our wonderful Comedian in Chief, Mr. Bush. He didn't fail to disappoint.

The parents of nine year old Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii (that's her name) have lost custody, well, for naming her that. Friends called her "K." There are lots of weird people in the world.

That's it for now...I need to study.

Disney Hall

So apparently Summer is supposed to be a relaxing time. In my case I like to consider "relaxing" the act of constantly working.

The AVC band played at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last Tuesday. It was simply amazing. I have never before seen a venue of that caliber both onstage and backstage. The acoustics were simply amazing and facilities awesome. It felt really cool to sit in the same lounge as LA Phil players and actually see their individual lockers. The concert went well and the evening as a whole was very fun.

My EMT class is going well and keeping me busy. I did my ER clinical shift and ride-along last weekend. Both went well. I must say that there is some pretty interesting stuff out there.

Myself, Tiffany, Casey, Lauren, Mitch and Rachel made our long overdue trip to Disneyland last Sunday. It was tons of fun as expected, and I got to see the actual Fantasmic show for the first time. It was pretty cool and we had a really long/fun day. As an added bonus, we unknowingly ate lunch next to Whoopi Goldberg and family. Yeah...pretty cool/weird.

As you can see, "sleep is overrated" was my motto for last week.

A new Australian law makes it illegal to "cause annoyance or inconvenience." So it's illegal to annoy people. Despite the possible encroachment on civil liberties, that is pretty dang cool.

New owners of half-million dollar homes in Florida are continuing their search for live bombs that tend to be frequently found in the property. That's a tad disturbing to me.

Finally, I leave you with yet another Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Clip. My only response to this is vive les idiots!

That's it for now, have a Happy 4th.
