Interesting and Chaotic Times

Well, this week has been interesting. I'll start with the most interesting stuff and go from there.

This Saturday we went to the AVP Atlanta Open Vollyball tournament. It was pretty cool. Basically they were set up by the highway near an old abandoned steel mill called Atlantic Station. They had three different volliball set ups, two small qualifiers and a 'winner's circle.' We spent most of our time watching the winner's circle. It was a pretty good deal, since we got a block of time from 10:00 to 5:30. We got there at 11:00 and were there for most of that. The players were very very good both on the men's and women's side. There was, however, more spiking on the men's side primarily due to height advantages. We got to see the Olympic gold medalists play which was also interesting.

Friday night we went to go see UP which we quite enjoyed. Saturday night after volliball we rushed home, got changed and then went to see The Tempest at the Shakespear Tavern. It was also quite good and whoever they have as the new creative director is really putting a change on things. They're appearantly having some financial difficulties which is a bit sad though.

Sunday we did all manner of house hold chores, trying to get the place a bit more spic and span. The back yard has become a bit of a jungle and Jennifer is working to slowly clear it. We watched a bit of Lost (which we like) and Doctor Who (the old ones with Tom Baker.) I have also recently started reading White Witch, Black Curse, which mom leant me.

Monday night we watched Ali on Netflix. It is quite good. Jennifer made an awesome salad and sandwich dinner which was quite welcome after the...interesting...day I'd had.

Picking up things a bit in the movie area. I'm trying to build Project Management experience for the PMP, so I've agreed to act as Project Coordinator for Interstate Films for a film and more if it works out well. It doesn't pay, but they're quite ambitious and it looks like it will be interesting. I'm also working with Mom to help potentially do some screen writing for a project she's working with called the Sentinel Chronicles.

Jennifer has recently started taking Belly Dancing lessons every Tuesday night and she absolutely loves it!

belly dancing is supposed to be great exercise.

Yeah it is. She's losing a lot of weight. I'm working on the same goal and working out a lot, but I'm stuck so far around 259-260lbs. We'll see. I've been using this site, www.livestrong.com for about two weeks and it seems to help but I may need to increase my calorie reduction. We'll see.
