Hokay, so...

It has been quite a while since I've done this. I started getting lazy with the blog, thinking that I had nothing interesting to write about. And then Rachel came into town so I've been preoccupied with that too.

Improv classes are still going well, and work is getting to be somewhat less stressful. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday of this past week sitting in on the Laura Hall trial. For those who don't know, the story is pretty complex and gruesome. I'd rather not go into it, but the summary is Hall was convicted of "tampering with evidence" after helping her boyfriend kill and dispose of a young woman. Being there when they went into gory detail was certainly not pleasant, but it is a story that a lot of people in Austin care about, and the outcome was favorable. She got sentenced to 11 years in jail.

Besides all that fun, Rachel is here! We're having a great time exploring Austin together. We've been doing a good amount of shopping and eating here. We went to see the new A-Team movie at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, which was fantastic. The movie was honestly not as appealing as the food and beer, but it wasn't bad. And all of my roommates have gone out of town for the 4th of July weekend, so we had the apartment to ourselves last night! Today we'll probably do some more shopping and then head out to Zilker Park. The weather has cleared up and we're thinking if it gets hot enough we'll go to Barton Springs, which stays around 68 degrees throughout the year.
