A physical and blood work

Well, I'm down to a week a few days now. I'm feeling incredibly impatient and certainly anxious. Not an incredible amount of events have taken place since my last few entries. Mainly my life has pertained to books (read "What if our world is their heaven?" - the last conversations with PKD, The Active Side of Infinity, The Divine Invasion). I saw the movie "Fur" (a Diane Arbus fictionalized account film) starring Robert Downey Jr and Nicole Kidman. I thought it quite romantic and nicely shot. I liked the storyline and the costuming was great. Would Ms. Arbus have enjoyed it though? That remains to be known. Another great film I saw recently was "Wall-E", Pixar's latest animation. I have to say they keep churning out bigger and better animations! With each of their creations being quite different from the previous. A bit more bleak but superb, nonetheless. Now, I have to finish watching this Alex Gray documentary on his art and the sacred passage of healing through art. His work is amazing in its vividness of color, its richness, and its incredible transcendental imagery. I'm usually not a big fan of transcendental, abstracted artwork. But, his work is a bit more realistic in its technique and the content is unparalleled to any other. It makes me want to drop some again.

On to the next, I have to quickly work through this appeals process. Naturally, because this doctor that had operated and is going to operate again soon, is out of network. It's like pulling teeth but so much more tedious. I mean I haven't even begun the actual process of filing.. ah, I'm just getting myself overworked. So, we shall see in this waiting game. I have faith.

Ok, it's true I've retreated to even more reclusive ways now than before. I'm trying to stay healthy until the check-in, so that is part of it. The other is just feeling a bit awkward. It's all my own doing and in my own head. But in the meantime, well, I'm laying low.

A quick overview. My brother is engaged to his girlfriend, and they are here in Miami now. Flash ran away or was scooped up. I lost a really good friend. I'm ready to sign up for classes for the fall. I'm back on facebook. I'm planning on moving into a house. And my life might really, actually about to change, forever.
