casa de chiuaua

today was awesome. i had the best swim ever at the giant geodesic dome pool at the gym even though i had to dodge frank (the fit, nice but kind of creepy mid 30's dood that introduced himself to me last week while i stood there dripping and little kids ran past. small talk about earplugs. anyway, i realized that a lot of my wussing out of pushing myself in sports and fitness and largely because i have a wrong mind set about it and my brain doesn't want me to kill myself. i read this article in women's health about how the brain will try and stop you from doing things you haven't done before because it doesn't want you to get hurt. so i just told my brain to hang on and that i wouldn't die and it was cool. the article.
this being said i got to hang with friends and catch up because i had no school work. rob and i went shopping for a minute and got ice cream:

and finally jean and i played our first show tonight. it was way fun. this really sweet band named casa de chihuhaua from new york played. it was like a beautiful hippie jug band.
