ok. so i haven't posted in a while. so where to begin? started the new job at bellevue, that has turned out to be stressful as well as exciting. especially when a patient threatens physical violence upon you...all is well now, we've been having very productive therapy session. the only thing that stresses me out is the paperwork...which makes the old job look like easy. still at the old job, it's amazing. how busy i am there...i see more patients in that afternoon than i did in a whole days work there. but at bellevue...it's cake, 1 patient an hour, an outdoor excursion here and there and then teach one class, piece o' cake. and i'm off monday! Flag Day!!! woo hoo!!

so i'm 31 now...that day was a big suckaroo!! mom blew me off and "forgot" that she was gonna come out and take me to dinner. it was cold and rainy...no big surprise there. and also the deirdster didn't call me on my b-day, but that didn't upset me as there were bigger fish to fry. went to that little horserace the day before, called the Belmont Stakes and watched an awesome upset unfold...dropped like 60 bucks then proceeded to stress out real bad b/c it took me 2 hours to get home. so on the b-day, had some sushi and hit some golf balls w/ pater's friend rich on long island...so it wasn't a total wash out.

simone was kind enough to score me a tix to the curiosa festival...b/c i haven't seen the cure enough...but interpol is also playing, who i'm excited to see. my friend ed called and kindly invited me to join him for US OPEN sunday at Shinnicock Hills...we went to the open a couple o' years back in Bethpage when Tiger won! very, very exciting!! and i'm really wanting to play some mean poker, ever since we played tournament no-limit texas hold 'em at nelson's a couple o' weeks ago. i'm reading "positively fifth street", the history of poker and what not...but specifically the world series of poker at binion's horseshoe in VEGAS BABY, VEGAS!!! can you believe that i got a friggin' ticket for having a plastic cover over the rear license plate...WTF!!! i ain't paying that...i don't know what my dad is doing w/ that thing anyway...not like any camera is going to have trouble catching a pic of that car's license...seeing as it goes from 0-60 in 6...minutes.

so golf this weekend anyone?
