Various results
This past Tuesday was the first day of my tennis league, and I wound up playing one of the weakest players there. It was a silver-haired guy in his late 50s who is also diabetic. Yeah. Apparently, he took too much insulin just before playing and he was feeling the after effects. I was concerned but he decided to play on. It wasn't really fun to beat someone who was out of it physically. But I had to take advantage of some of the shots that were given to me. There were a few weak second serves that I pounced on for a winner. I felt bad for doing it but I had to because I wanted to be aggressive. I won the match 6-0, 6-0.
I am gearing up for the a tennis tournament in Austin on March 18th through the 20th. I have been look for a hotel room for myself (and possibly "The Greek") but everything is booked solid in the downtown area because of the SXSW (South by Southwest) Music Festival. I contact the tournament directors and they will be providing some hotel information by the end of the week. I am not sure whether or not they will be reserving a block of rooms or what, but I have been looking for an alternative plan just in case.
There is a place called Arboretum, which is 20 minutes north of downtown Austin, that has some rooms available. This information has give to me by Dan Renzi (as in Real World Miami).
I sent him an email because I remember he did a hotel guide for Austin a while back but I couldn't find the link. The sent me an extensive listing of where and where-not to stay in Austin. I really appreciated him taking the time reply to my e-mail, so a payback I hooked him up with premiere episode of Project Catwalk (UK version of Project Runway). Hopefully he will do a hilarious recap of the episode and give me a shoutout.
Last night I just hung out with the "The Greek" and we ended up abandoning our plans to see a movie (The Family Stone) and just stayed at his place and just talked about a lot of stuff.
Let me pose the this question: How soon is too soon to move in with someone?
I am just wondering because my tentative plan, if things should work out (I'm pessimistic), we could do this in August. We've pretty much came to an agreement that we would like this relationship to last for the long-term. It all seems so fast but this is the most normal relationship I have been in. We actually talk to one another and we're pretty much attached at the hip when we are together. Logically, things seem too fast but it seems to be just right. We talked about where we would like to live in summer of 2007 when he looks for a permanent position at a hospital.
He seems to like Vancouver because Canada has legal gay marriage, which might get overturned if the conservative Canadians win the elections this Monday. We talked about Toronto, which I like because it is close to where I was birthed and were my family currently resides. Montreal was mentioned but it get extremely cold there in the winter. Australia was mentioned because he is confident that he can get a job there with out an problem. And also London was mentioned because they just allowed gay civil unions with all the benefits of marriage. He is European but I am not sure if this law would apply to him or immigrants. Plus, you can't have dual citizenship in England so I will have to give up my U.S. citizenship. So if we go to Vancouver in September he will try to schedule some interviews while we are there. He says that he has the potential to make $200,000+ there, so it may be worth looking. Anyway ... I feel silly putting this out in the blogisphere. So...
... enough of that for now.
Other stuff ...
Why is Ciara trying to be Janet?
You are not Janet, Ciara.
I have to go work early because I have to attend a presentation on a new content management system that is being implemented. I will be staying up late to watch Serena William play her match, so I will be going to be at 12:30am at the lastest.
After work tomorrow I am going to meet up with The Greek for dinner and a movie. TransAmerica is opening tomorrow so I think we will see that.
