nerdom

I suppose I have always been a nerd - but since I've had a week to sit on my sofa and do nerdy tihings, I've actually realized how nerdy I am. I left my apt. only to go to a few pilates classes (don't wanna get flabby), go to an astronaut lecture, and go on a historical walking tour of lower Manhattan where I refrained from correct the Shakespeare quote the tour guide used. I caught myself up on the news, researched arts funding in the US and the world (HOW did I not know about UNESCO until tonight!?), and became addicted to SciFri the podcast. I listened to one act operas, watched the Vienna State orchestra and ballet company on t.v., and had some on-line music theory lessons with Candace. (Since I don't know my voice part yet for MY FAIR LADY, and I couldn't sing anyway, we decided to just work on the theory of chords. Of course, I wanted to work on NIXON IN CHINA chords - which are notoriously difficult. She kept giving me easier pieces and chords.)

Of course - this means I also havent done any of the things I desperately need to do - get a hold of housing works (though to my credit I did call them a lot - I just somehow was never near my phone when they called back) to have them come pick up my sofa and other goodies from the old apt. And drop off my keys to the old management company (which is in bumblefuck brooklyn - blech), go to Bed Bath and Beyond and pick up the other stuff Loralee and I agreed we needed for the apt, and other goodies like that. Make my dentist appointment. All the not fun things I would rather not think about - but of course - have to. Hopefully I'll get a hold of housingworks tomorrow. Still dont feel healthy though, which is freaking me out! I WANT TO BE HEALTHY! NO MORE GUNK IN MY NOSE OR SORE THROAT! BE HEALTHY! HEALTHY IS GOOD!
