Wheee I got paid yesterday and that is neat, partly because I am secretly more materialistic than is really cool and partly 'cause I was feelin' kinda stressed out by how dwindled my savings had gotten, so anyway now I've done some celebratory rent paying and winter-coat-and-cheese buying. Yum, cheese ( Read more... )

I voted! Which is nice, though it took a while (voting early is the cool thing to do these days; it took an hour and a half for me to get up to the front of the line, and by the time I did, the line got even longer). So. I feel like a good citizen ( Read more... )

looking for work
thinking Madison might be an all right place to live for a while
fantasizing about the future
feel like I'm waiting for some cue to start trying to make a home (right now the cue is income)
directionless (not in a necessarily bad way, but man, what do I want to do with my life? or even just, like, the next couple years?)

I just discovered the last two months of posts on my eldest brother's blogspot page; I used to check it pretty regularly, but he mostly only posted around solstices, equinoxes, and new beginnings, and I guess I stopped thinking of it.

Today I got a phone call from the company Lucy works for telling me that they've decided to go ahead with other applicants, which is on the one hand kind of a bummer (in that it causes me to still be an unemployed bum), but on the other hand, * shrugs * I couldn't really decide if I was actually going to be happy working there or not, and at least ( Read more... )

I've been thinking wistfully of the time when I used to keep in touch with my friends and, unemployed bum that I am, have had rather a lot of time on my hands lately, so I'ma try to get back in the habit of updating sometimes. Probably mostly ( Read more... )

estimated time of arrival in Madison: sometime tomorrow afternoonish

Annnnd sometime tomorrow we're prob'ly gonna get to the Cities and I think we'll stay there for a couple nights; I don't really know our (mine and my parents') plans and it's possible that it'll be mostly family stuff, but if anyone in or near there (I bet swinging through Northfield could be arranged) wants to get together for lunch or dinner or ( Read more... )

Team Air China/United so far has a perfect 0 for 4 record so far for getting my and Katrina's bags to our final destinations at the same time as us (this feels more ridiculous and laughable than distressing). Apparently the two hour delay in San Francisco while we waited for replacement pilots to arrive from Reno wasn't enough time to get either of ( Read more... )

Hi all. There was an earthquake, which we felt, but everyone is fine. :)
