I just realized I never posted about when Rich and I went to Nashville!  We saw Bright Eyes play at the Ryman Auditorium.  It was a great venue with so much history.  The concert was great, but I always love seeing Bright Eyes so that’s not too big of a surprise.  Anyway, the next day we went back to the Ryman for a tour.

The hallways were lined with posters from previous performers and included possibly every great musician.  We got to see backstage dressing rooms and hear about the thirty years when the Ryman was home to the Grand Ole Opry.  They had some showcases with memorabilia from past events.

This was in the Johnny Cash and June Carter case.  The last picture is of a song that Johnny Cash wrote for the students at Vanderbilt to sing to them but then took these verses out.
Overall it was a great trip and I suggest touring the Ryman to anyone visiting the Nashville area =)

current distractions: BIG NEWS

So I haven’t updated in a while because Rich was here for a week and so I was quite distracted by not being depressed and not having separation anxiety.  It was a great week.  We went to Nashville and walked around there, got lunch, went to a bar, listened to music, etc.

  

It was a pretty cool place.  It was pretty spontaneous so next time I want to look up a few places to go to first.  Hmm... other than that we made some awesome meals: sushi, pizza, breakfast night, anddd burger night.  I started putting avocado on my veggie burger and I really like it.  You would think that would flip me out because of my consistency issues but no I actually really like it.  Work got better this week also.  I coded an algorithm that now I have to manipulate to do better things for me and I understand everything a whole lot better.  It’s crazy how much I’ve learned in only two weeks.

So now time for the big news...
                                ...
                   Yeva and I adopted a baby kitten today!

DAH.

So yeah, we got a cat and we actually get to pick it up tomorrow.  It’s about nine weeks old and it doesn’t have a name yet but it’s a girl (without the inverted penis) and she’s perfect.  I will post pictures tomorrow, I promise.
