I don't want to alarm anyone, but I got a job offer on Friday. I discussed benefits with the company on Monday. I accepted the offer and gave my two weeks notice yesterday. Last day here is July 2, first day there is July 9.

HOLY SHIT I HAVE A NEW JOB!

I'm up late making posters for my Speed Regime girls. I'll take a couple of anime breaks while the glitter glue dries, do some touch-ups, then to bed. I'm hitting the 10 a.m. Today Show taping and I'd rather not look like the walking dead--especially because I perhaps stupidly made a "Charm City Loves Natalie Moral-Less" sign. I say stupidly ( Read more... )

Bout Day ahoy! As always I'm more psyched than is probably normal. I'm going the Flickrazzi route this time around and bringing my big film camera to see if I can get some decent shots. I had a lot of luck at the East Coast Derby Extravaganza, but then the lighting at the Sportsplex was a bit more forgiving than Skateland. But I've got my big-ass ( Read more... )

During the (soon-to-be legendary, methinks) Myth-Off in the 3 o'clock hour of greyplanet's party, hannahchan, textureslut and I were confounded by the 12 Labours of Hercules. We got the lion skin one, I threw out the whole Amazon's girdle business, and we all got the shitty stables one, but after that we weren't so sure. There were vague mentions of the Hydra, a centaur and ( Read more... )

When the first thing that greets you when you get home from a Saturday night party is the first light of Sunday's dawn brightening the sky, you know it's been a good time.

Also: I totally call runner-up in the Myth-Off. w00t!

In a great mood.

Going to bed now.

I can scarce believe it, but I actually got excellent customer service at Dick's Sporting Goods. Usually their employees more than live up to the store's name, but yesterday I got lucky ( Read more... )

I'm still recovering from the bout on Sunday. I didn't get home from it until after 11 and I was so keyed up that I couldn't get to sleep until 12:30. Two hours of sleep + eight hours of work = complete exhaustion, so I crashed as soon as I got home. I even managed to oversleep like a champ this morning and hauled my ass into work a good 15 minutes ( Read more... )

* Brother called from Vegas. Having such a good time he's staying an extra night before he heads out to Los Angeles ( Read more... )

I ventured into West Bumfuck to Alpha Ridge Park yesterday to skate on the outdoor roller hockey rink and enjoy the kick-ass weather. Nice warm day, not a cloud in the sky, a bit of a breeze... perfect ( Read more... )

Well. I had a bit of an adventure this afternoon. I went to open skate over at Supreme Sports--which is not actually the adventure in question, although it was pretty hazardous given the toxic concentration of small children there for birthday parties and the fact that the roof was leaking so they had a bucket with cones around it smack in the ( Read more... )
