"Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong."
(Wow, we've been buried in busy-ness here at NyetJones, Inc. Sorry for the dearth. It will happen again).
Posting here from the upstairs study of the Gringoat, post Heidi-walk. A whirlwind week and an account is coming, I swear, but for now you'll get the brief outline form (so I can remember what to put down later). I'm relatively certain (how could one forget this, honestly) that we last left our heroes on the day of "The Song," the shutout of a Dean's Dinner and the lazy Saturday morning of tutoring. And so...
Saturday Night - The Opening Act of Vet Graduation, aka Alipalooza 2007, a party at the Sprechers' down in Newton. Featuring a bona fide celebrity* and red carpet treatment for red-haired grandmamas. Fun times, endearing speech times. Alipalooza.
(* - That was, perhaps, the worst joke ever)
Sunday Morning - Brunch with the iPFam, GrinGoat and Ali's brother, LA Actor and Honorary PBoat for the weekend Jon.
Sunday Afternoon - A threateningly rain-soaked but ultimately beautiful Vet School graduation, aka Alipalooza 2007 Main Show Under the Big Tent (featuring no fewer than 24 PGoat-Devotees, or Pgoatees, if you will. But you won't, I know). This also featured Sarah's Vet Address, which oh yeah is going to get its own post on The Ballad in a second.
Sunday Late Afternoon - Ice Cream in the Drizizzle. S & S. You Know This.
Sunday Evening - Fun dinner with iPFam at The Sole Proprietor (it's a fish restaurant, not a unique entity or a place to buy indulgences). Rumor has it that Alipalooza (now with shuttle buses) conquered a restaurant somewhere in Boston. She had her own menus. Those Wolfs do it up bigtime.
Monday - 'Nother day at school, packing, and Pizza Dinner with an Abandoned Ali. This Post is very Ali-centric, eh?
Tuesday - Test at School, Sweet Letter from a Student, Present from Fellow Teachers, Packing, and farewell dinner at Vinny T's with Gringoat and the Trinity (Christophe, Malcom and Sarha aka Sloe Bube). Let it be known that Sarah is supermom - she is unphased and handles the kid with somethign bordering on maternal instinct. Compelte with sarcasm. Quite impressive.
Wednesday - School blah blah blah, Packing, Burning myself, Ice cream and Heidi style instructions from BenAli. Beck did not leave as planned.
Thursday - Airport ride for BenAli, Politics at School, More Packing, Packing Packing Packing AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH. Beck did not leave as planned - but we did finish stuffing the truck at about 9 o'clock AND we figured out a gigantic pneumatic gate. Let's hear it for two Rice enginee... academs.
A side note - Poor Beck. I had to work all week and she was stuck dealing with our overstuffed apartment. Possessions may be fleeting, but they are not very light. Ugh. Sorry Kwia.
Friday - Beck pushed off early early, I put in a next to last day at school, complete with an Engagement Party thrown by last year's Stat Class, which is just about as sweet as a human being can possibly take without enduring severe kidney damage and retinopathy. Seriously, just a ridiculously cute, make you cry sort of event. Nice. Came home and finished putting trash away in the apartment; the actual cleanup will happen hopefully Sunday. And came over here yesterday afternoon and have played serious amounts of fetch with Heidi. Swank.
So that's a boring account; more exciting stuff to come. In keeping with the Space Oddity theme, we are exactly 7 days away from the death of my bachelorhood. O. M. G.
Check ignition and may God's love be with you...
