A month of updates..

ehhhhhh!IMGP3114.JPG
banana phone. Caught on the first day of work as I was leaving my apartment.

Well it’s been around a month, give or take, since I have posted any updates. If for any reason, because I have been busy. Between trying to recover from jetlag and family induced stress, to starting a new job and getting up to speed on projects..

So I will give you all a quick update.

First and foremost, thanks to all those of you that inquired as to the health of my mother. She is doing a lot better now. They put two splints in one of her arteries and performed angioplasty on another. They were able to remove the blockage from the 85% and 95% blocked arteries and on the angioplastyied on they were able to clear it to 40%. She is up and moving around very happy now. It was a good 20 days in St. Louis except, again, I didn’t get to see as many people as I hoped to.

Wholy crapola…

Sitting at the hospital, waiting for my mom to come out of heart surgery… In the waiting room, there are 19 other people ranging in age from 17 to 70. The 17 year old kid is the only one in here that could be considered a good normal weight. Everyone else is supersized and overly annoying.. for example..

The 45 to 55 year old women sitting next to me, on skype, chatting with a friend about the latest Britney Spears pictures. Literally, she turned the news down so she could talk to her friend. Even after I asked to be considerate of others she is still being annoying as hell. If she wasn’t using her edge card for access I would be up in her shizznitaz. SO ANNOYING.

Next, there are is a gaggle of fat women here discussing their exercise routine. Which I think really consists of them making laps around the buffet during lunch… and dinner. *sigh*

Back in town..

Back in St. Louis for a few weeks.. hit me up if you want to meet up.

On a side note.. things here are now as expensive as they are in Tokyo. It blows my mind. Recession anyone?

erokudotcom- now with wp2.5 goodness

Since I am sitting at work on my last day, with nothing to do.. I upgraded the ole blogaroo and a few other things.

I went to the embassy this morning to have more pages added to my passport. I have to say I was impressed with the efficiency of the citizen services group. Perhaps the visa group isn’t so efficient though.

Not looking forward to the flight back…

Coming back to StLouay! Between switching jobs and my mother’s heart surgery, I figured I can spend some time in the hometown.

I will be in town from the 4th to the 25th. Anyone up for meeting up? I will be bringing a guest, so there will be some obligatory tourism; Art Museum, AB Brewery, Zoo, Arch, Delmar, Magic house.. Anything else?

Hit me up.
