welcome back.

well, apparently it has been a while since my last post. but here i am again. i have been keeping a low profile lately. not because i am a fugitive or anything, but because i dismiss things more easily now. many things have happened. between life and my new reads, i decided i would take better care of my body and prepare it for the rest of my life. i decided to take up yoga. BIKRAM YOGA. yes, the kind that is at least 105*F for 90 minutes. the studio where the poses take place is called TORTURE CHAMBER. do the math. in regards to work, television has been going crazy. i was to do some promos for a news station, but i think my email account messed it up by sending it elsewhere. i can't realize tell what happened, i just know there was a glitch. one of my great friends (hello childhood memories) recently moved to germany and has been loving it. she posts her adventures, and is soon coming home before she leaves again for a few years. yay for traveling. this calls for a visit to germany. oktoberfest 2012? i think that sounds good. i got a new pup. she is a black lab and is called Lulu. i already have all kinds of nicknames for her, lululoony toony, loon, lulu smells like poopoo, poopy, the list goes on. i know she hates me for it. i love her too. speaking of loonies and toons, there was a special performance by the symphony featuring the music to the Looney Toons, Tom& Jerry, Tweety, and a few others. it was called Bugs Bunny at the Symphony. the orch was to play along to the featuring of the cartoons on a projector. that was a very special concert for me because it reminded me so much of my grandfather. when i was a small child, he gave me a small plastic Bugs Bunny that is about 6 inches tall as he said, "this is for my most favorite granddaughter, you." well, that Bugs is over 20 years now. i shoved him in my coat's pocket. i felt like i was rendering a secret memorial to my grandfather by assisting the concert and taking old Bugs Bunny with me. I was so excited. I invited my mom (she never says no to the symphony, we were just there last week!). so, we parked the car a block away, gleefully strolled down Houston street, passed the Starbucks with tempted eyes (i was on a mission). i was so excited i could cry. i arrive at the box office with a fast-beating heart and a smile and i say, "2 for Bugs at the symphony, please." the clerk says, "sorry, but we're completely sold out." i thought the cute guy was joking so i ignored it and stood there with my amex. he repeated the disheartening statement. i felt my heart shrink, sink, and faint. my mom suggested we go for coffee to wait and see if any seats opened up. none did. we finished our drinks at the coffee shop and then my eyes misted. i do not know why but i felt like a toddler that got told "no" for a non-valid reason. i know it may sound pathetic, but that's how i felt. i guess at that point i eagerly wished i could re-live my childhood. i love the life my parents gave me as a child alongside my tiny family. memories is all they leave us with. then i felt better.
