What's been happening since the strike has been going on:

I got braces.

I got an olive tree.

I read a few of the New Yorkers lying around making me feel guilty.

I caught up with almost all of the first four seasons of the greatest show on TV, The Wire.

I made a few strike buddies out on the line.

I wrote a sad short story that needs some work.

I saw a great documentary called Street Fight.

I started a "cleanse."

I've read some more Raymond Carver short stories.

I played nursemaid to my girlfriend who got pink eye.

I looked at an apartment.

I've gotten back to the gym a bunch.  

I did a couple days of yoga.

I tried to revive this here blog.  We'll see what happens as things progress in the world of showbiz hardball.
