Well the job hunt has not been going well. Getting a job at OHSU is extremely hard and doesn't pay well. They have cornered the market in biotechnology in the Northwest, and the jobs are not very glorious and there's heavy competition for them ( Read more... )

I went on my first date in Oregon tonight. It was a late night thing at a coffee shop. I just got back a little while ago. It was interesting. The girl was pretty and fun to talk to. There were certainly times I felt drawn to her. I'm definitely going to ask her out for a second date for probably a dinner and a movie. It was a traditional ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. things are still pretty much the same. I don't have anything to really good to say, but I guess if I can't say something good I won't say anything at all.

Jimmy from the Doughbowl called today. He's in New Orleans right now. He wanted to update me on the condition of everything. I still haven't had the guts to tell him that I'm not coming back.

I picked up a pick axe and ( Read more... )

Ok, here's a play by play of what has been going on the last couple of days. Friday I first heard about the storm, as it was a category 3. I was a little annoyed because the storm would kill our business for the beginning of the school year. I didn't think the storm would hit us. Saturday morning I didn't get much sleep because everyone kept ( Read more... )

Well here I am, on a Sunday evening, waiting for my laundry to finish. I've started packing. I got most of my books, dvds, video games, and cds done. I packed up my bathroom. Right now I still need to pack up my bedroom, kitchen, pet supplies and knick nacks. The move will be very interesting. I'm leaving some of my furniture here, and am ( Read more... )
