I'm sure that it's all because of rumors that Nashville doesn't have any gas, but gas stations in Nashville are dry. Every gas station I pass has all its numbers taken down, and every pump covered with a plastic bag. This would not usually be a problem for my fuel-efficient Toyota Corolla, but my gas light came on last Thursday, which means that ( Read more... )

I am not normally one to write about my dreams, but I had a particularly hard time waking up this morning from a dream I had last night ( Read more... )

I realize that I am broke.  I hardly have two pennies to rub together (in the long run), but at the moment, financial aid loan checks have hit the bank, and my head is swimming in the contradictions.  Though I have a generous amount in my checking account, it is paltry given the length of time in which this "generous" amount will be my only source ( Read more... )

For some reason I had the thought today at work that I wanted a good, sexy playlist.  While driving home, I thought, "Hell, let's make it an all-around questionnaire!"  Because I don't just want a sexy playlist, I want cheerful, sleepy, angry, brooding playlists, too!  Since I don't really know enough about good music (and trust in the endless ( Read more... )

As the weekend ends, I take a moment to reflect on the past few days and what they mean for the months to come:

First thing: money.  Who doesn't worry about it?  This semester (and I wish I'd caught this sooner and asked someone about it) I received about $1,000 less in student loans than I'd recieved the past two semesters.  This isn't a huge deal ( Read more... )

Started my internship with St. A's today.  I didn't think it would be too intense, until the head pastor came up to me as I was folding bulletins before the service with a large, white, table cloth-like vestment.  "Try this one on," she says, as if it's been the plan all along for me to be in vestments.  Apparently, it has been, but I just can't ( Read more... )

Apparently, left without internet for a week in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina gets you in a really lazy mood.  I just came back to Nashville from four days in the mountains, and all I did there was eat, gamble (with Syl's grandmother), read, and run.  That's it!  Oh, and watched a heck of a lot of Olympics and other random stuff that was on ( Read more... )

Since I know you're all on pins and needles about this cable issue, I wanted you to know that it's gotten worse.  The cable dude came by my apartment this afternoon to see a tv whose problems were the exact opposite of those I described: instead of all channels except NBC coming in clear, now NBC was the only channel that showed clearly.  So, the ( Read more... )

The Olympics would be better if NBC didn't look like scrambled porn on my t.v.

Comcast now knows and says they'll be here this Wednesday evening to fix it.  Or, try to figure out what it is.

In the meantime, I'll watch my scrambled porn Olympics and wish for the best.

Tonight is the first night in days that I've not felt so completely tired after work that I pass out on the couch by 8:00.  I'm taking this as a good sign.

Work has been incredibly busy.  My projects are only two, but they are both intense: 1) Matching Over 100 Students to Over 400 Donors and Making Thank-You Packets for those Over 100 Students with ( Read more... )
