frosting and high bouncing balls
not really.
long ass time since i've been here. i've been busier than all hell since mid april when we went to New York City for Lee's birthday. what a wonderful tradition that is. New York never fails to deliver and i love that we find the craziest back street no sign no glitz clubs to hit. this past trip we went to Love. it's down on the south end of the island, north of the financial district... maybe in the village or close to it. i'm not even sure. but it was awfully killer. basement club, very dark, very nice people, fantastic music and decently priced drinks. can't go wrong with a line up like that. long story short, New York City rocks my world.
after NYC was crunch time for packing up our lives for the move to the new place. fiasco. that's all i can say. so stressful, so out of control running out of time and getting no sleep 2 weeks... that's what it was leading up to the move. the movers got us all moved in a very timely fashion, but they completely dinged the common hallway/stairwell with the couch. it's still not fixed. so very uncool, but the management company says that they'll take care of it. super. "here's your bill for $4000,00." "sweet. thanks." no, that didn't happen. will it? perhaps.
we're over a month into living here and we're still not fully settled in. we dropped quite a bit of square footage so we kind of have a lot of stuff with not a lot of places to put said stuff. lots of it went into our storage unit which is filling up quickly. now we must really consolidate and get all the crap outta here. soon. soon we hope.
my stress level has been HUGE lately. unbelievable. i've even lost weight from all of it. that's a whole lotta stress right there. who knew buying a place was this stressful? i've used the word stress too much here. i'll stop now. but anyway, yeah. it's been nuts. and here's the weird thing about said word that i won't repeat any longer. i guess we need to start back about a year ago. i noticed that i couldn't see normally out of my left eye. i'd look at a straight line and with my left eye, there would be a dip in the line. it wouldn't be straight all the way across. crazy, right? i KNOW. totally. totally crazy. so, i freaked for about 2 days & went to the doctor and it turns out it's what they call Central Serous Retinopathy. fluid leaks out of something in my eye & forms a pool of said fluid in front of my retina, so it's like i'm looking thru a bubble. crazy. no pain, just weird vision. i have it again. and here's the thing with this condition. it occurs almost exclusively in men between 25 and 50 years old, usually under a lot of stress, usually type A personality. interesting. they don't know what causes it, and they don't have a cure for it, save for laser surgery which, if it doesn't work, can lead to a brazillion other issues, and it just ends up going away by itself in 3 - 6 months. so that's my new thing to add to the checklist of "crazy medical things that vinnie gets."
pridefest in milwaukee this weekend. it'll be good to hang with the milwaukee folks again... king wilson & scooter... for sure... and i'm too freakin lazy to link their shit. sorry. ain't happenin.
i'd post some pictures, but i'm too lazy and i have laundry to fold and boxes to rummage through.
rock & roll.
