Thursday Night: After rehearsal for My Fair Lady, I came home and watched the tv shows that I had missed earlier in the night (The Office, Scrubs and 30 Rock... all are HYSTERICAL by the way). I probably hung out with leslie... but to be honest I don't remember. (Eric saw David Cross)
Friday Night: I went to the 4H formal with Scout (real name = Amanda). It was in Bloomington. I don't know what I expected, but this was not a very interesting night. There was no DJ and somebody had just asked all of the girls to send her a list of songs they wanted to hear. SO... we ended up with song after song AFTER SONG of country ballads. Seriously... how are you supposed to get your groove on to that? While Amanda and I had a good time just hanging out, we agreed that it could've been better (as illustrated below):
(Eric saw cool concert on his Friday Night)
Saturday Night: Basically hung out and did some score study for my first My Fair Lady Orchestra rehearsal (we got an orchestra of nearly 30... I'm pretty excited). After that, I picked up Leslie and one of her friends and we went to go see "Catch and Release". Umm... the movie is terrible. That's all I'll say about that. (Eric attended a crazy party with brawls and cops)
Sunday Night: My first My Fair Lady rehearsal started at 6:30. So I was working on that all day and then doing that until 9. After that, I kicked myself for not having watched the Grammys and for missing the Obama interview on 60 Minutes. (<- great resource, btw.) (Eric went to an improv show)
SOOO... there you have it. I think Eric wins. :) Man, a lot of that stuff sounds cool, dude. We gotta get out there at some point.
Also, the update I KNOW you've all been waiting for... news about my EYE HORN!
Some of you may know that since November I've had a small thing growing right below my eye. I've dubbed it an "eye horn" and originally thought it was a cutaneous horn. (I tried to find a picture online that looked like what I have, but everything I found was just to gross) SO... it's probably just 1/8 of an inch long and it's just weird looking. So, yesterday morning I had an appointment with a dermatologist. I showed up. He walks in the office and the following exchange occurred:
Doctor Patel: Welcome. You've never been here before?
Me: No.
Patel: Then what brings you to us today?
Me: I've got this thing on my face... and I'd like it to be taken off.
Patel: Let me see. (Patel walks up to me. Glances at eye horn)
Patel: Ah, yes. I see. (Sends out nurse). You have what is called a ::insert medical jargon here:: (Gestures at chart in room) The best way to get rid of them is to just freeze it off. (Nurse re-enters with Styrofoam cup with long q-tips in it... the cup is sizzling).
Patel: Alright, just take your glasses off and look up.
Me: Do you need to cover my eye?
Patel: No... just lean your head back against the wall. ::Puts liquid nitrogen on face, near eye:: All I'm doing is I'm freezing the root of the growth. Once the cells die, the growth will fall right off. (After about 25 seconds, he removes q-tip) Alright, I cut you a break. I'm only going to charge you for the visit.
Me: Thanks a lot! That didn't hurt too bad... OW!
Patel: Yeah, it'll hurt in a couple of minutes, but it shouldn't be that bad. Thanks for coming in!
Then I went out and paid. SOOO... total $70. Time in office (no joke): 4 minutes. That works out to a wage of $17.50 per minute!!!
Anyway, i've got a small blister at the bottom of my horn now (apparently that's normal, Dr. Patel gave me a flyer that said that). And i'm looking forward to not having to think about it anymore. Maybe I'll save it and show y'all!!!!!! I'm still mad that nobody saw my ear wax the last time I had my ears flushed out.
I'll shut up now. Although, I'd LOVE to hear about Andrew's new car! ::hint, hint::
