an update...
Per the request of a rather adamant LJ reader, here follows the life and times of a pied piper of alcohol and tobacco...
I just got back from a two week vacation to Branson and Myrtle Beach with the ever lovely Autumn. We had fun, went to the beach, hung out with some of her family, had some more fun, then came back to fucking Hampton. The only upside to coming back (besides having our own space again) was I got a revised contract. Apparently the musical I will be directing is not covered in the dramatic part of my contract, so they sent me the revised edition: to the tune of almost 32k a year. HOLY SHIT!!! I will DEFINATELY earn the money, but HOLY SHIT!!! I just can't believe that much money in my second year of teaching, in Iowa of all places.
Two weeks ago my good friend and WIMI comrade Bubba got married. This event was the catalyst for a number of things.
1. I found out that I like pink champaign (sp?)
2. At the request of a bar tender, my buddy Walt and I went to a karoke session at the Stonehearth, where I promptly won and was awarded fifty dollars and the chance to sing at the Winneshiek County Fair. I am going to rock the fuck out of that place.
3. I found out that there is a HUNTING LODGE in Decorah. Strangely, this is where the wedding reception was held.
4. I discovered that Jethro Tull is indeed the best British rock band ever. If you have never checked that band out, do it. 70's rock at its finest.
Now I am tired. I look forward to the summer months to work out and lose weight, catch up on my reading, re-plan units, and move somewhere else, somewhere where I can have a dog. I think I am now off to bed.

Drew
