so, i finally got a another job. i'm now the help desk assistant at the gardner. so i do computer shit instead of stare at walls and give service to undeserving midwesterners. regulaar hours, no more night shift. things are looking up. 

ali came up to visit this weekend, which was pretty great. i got to see meg prices new house and go for a car ride which was fab. i miss trees and car rides. she lives in concord, ma in a woodsy section with two divorced middle-aged ladies and their dogs. very bucolic. i accidentally drank some soap there and ate onion jam but had an otherwise nice ( Read more... )

the new special exhibit opened last week at the museum. and what a half-assed affair it is. we had a staff opening after work the night before it went public, and even our curator was like "uh...i..dunno what to say really. have some wine." 
    the exhibit is a bunch of old photos of this tanned young italian man, luigi ontani, dressed as jesus, ( Read more... )

well january kind of flew by. i don't really have a huge amount to show for it, either. work is okay. i got included on an inside joke the other day, so i'm either making friends or getting totally punked. i called my lawyer yesterday about a bill i had not paid, and managed to talk my way out of $300 of it. that was a nice coup. i've been pretty ( Read more... )

so new years is tonight, i guess. i'm hoping to sort of skip by it, since i'm working both today and tomorrow. in fact, i work all the time. seven days  week at the moment, though that will be going down once there are no more holidays to avoid. i got sentanced to aftercare by amethyst house, so i have to complete six counseling sessions to get my ( Read more... )

first day at the gardner today. it went well, but it was awfully long. this will almost certainly be ameliorated by not having to work with the guy who trained me, a sweet old man named bill who is subconciously against cripples. it was like being trained by pope john paul II, moments before his death. that, and i'm sure i'll feel better when my ( Read more... )

so, my dwi school was this weekend. it was okay. actually, it was pretty bad, but when you're there you kind of externalize your ego, so time passes swiftly. i met a nurse from exeter called patricia who i hung out with for most of the weekend. i confess, i had kind of a mini crush on her--she's 46, but i thought she was in her early thirties. the ( Read more... )

thanksgiving was nice, even though sarah and mollie were MIA. everyone came to our house. it was raining, but we had a fire anyway, which i had missed. i wasn't in NH very long though, as my parents dashed off to new jersey the next day and i needed a ride down to boston with them. i finally got a dresser, so i don't have to live with a mound any ( Read more... )

well, i finally feel rested today. it took awhile. i went to ny to see ariel over the weekend on a whim, which was nice. she's going to africa, which i have little intrest in, but good for her for sticking to it, even though she's going to be a huge rash the whole time. i took fung wah down, which was fast and efficient and bad for my back. then i ( Read more... )

Well, I moved in permanently to 841 Parker now. It was a nightmare getting out; my car dumped a bunch of fluid and I had to speed-assemble the motorcycle, which may or may not work. I was also hungover as fuck from bluegrass at the church. i wanted to go to one last one before being forced to abandon my hick lifestyle for a bit, so paul and i went ( Read more... )
