BLAH BLAH BLAH

Nothing interesting is going on right now, but i figured i'd just check in with everyone. I've basically been sitting at home for the last couple of days because i've been sick. The most exciting thing that has happened, was someone broke into my our neighbors place and stole stuff. They are right below us and I didn't hear a thing. I feel kind of bad about it, since my BJJ training makes me an instrument of death, i could've done something.

In family news, not about me. My little cousin Stef just got her first stripe at Hollywood Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She is a natural at the sport, and I can see her being very successful. The first stripe basically means that she is getting the hang of the warm ups and new moves she is tought. It also means she understands the basic movements and terms of jiu jitsu. It is a big first step and i am very proud of her.

The blog has gone international. My friend in Japan, Aki, is now a loyal reader. Bringing my loyal following to . . . 7 . . . maybe.

Its been a week since I have arrived and there really hasn't been much to do. I went to jiu jitsu training for a couple days, but then i got sick. Probably from all the stress of moving out here. I'm final feeling better so maybe i'll start training tomorrow.

I finally saw Dark Knight, the new Batman movie. That was freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!! So cool. Heath Ledger was amazing. He stole the show. I recommend watching it at an IMAX.

Next week I have orientation all week, then I start classes on the 18th. I already have my reading list and first few assignments. One assignment consists of reading a 300 page book before my first class. Considering i'm the slowest reader on the planet i think i'm going to get started on that.

Life is pretty boring right now. I've taken care of most of the administrative stuff i needed to get done for school and watched a lot of tv. I even watched that Jamie Kennedy movie "Kickin it Old Skool". God awful movie, i think i'm dumber now for having watched it. I can't imagine what the conversation was like when were deciding to make that movie.

Anyways, I feel like this is the calm before the storm. In two weeks time i'll be begging for some time to myself. So I'm just going to enjoy not having anything to do for right now.
