So I had an eventful holiday weekend. My boss let me work a half-day on Thursday so I could drive down to the lodge to spend some QT with Chris and his family. We swam in the pool thursday afternoon, had dinner, and Chris and I walked and played along the river for a while after dinner. ( I caught a frog!) The bonfire was, however, a no-go ( Read more... )

So tomorrow afternoon I get to leave work early and begin the trek down to the Black River Lodge in Lesterville, MO. I am spending one evening and one glorious day with Chris's family on their annual vacation. It's actually a week long vacation, but I can't miss that much work, since I am hourly, and don't get paid if I don't show up. Plus, a ( Read more... )

So my roomie Emily is one of those girls (i refuse to use the term 'women' because that implies a level of maturity not yet attained by this subset of female individuals). One of those prissy, materialistic, superficial girls. She sends thank you cards after job interviews, which every article or study I've ever read has said is a complete waste ( Read more... )

So I've fallen victim to the blog conundrum. See, when I'm not busy, nothing is going on, and I don't have anything to write about. But, when I'm busy, and have exciting (?) things to talk about, then, well, I'm busy and don't have time to write. It's another one of life's small annoyances. Things have been good though. My roomie's boyfriend ( Read more... )

So life has been crazy, but it was a welcome break from my usual monotony. It all started last Saturday, when I had to go spend more quality time with Chris's family. It was his grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary (that's a long time to be married to the same person...) So there was a mass, and a reception followed at their house. Well, in ( Read more... )

So I've been introduced to Dinosaur Comics by Chris...and it's great. Nothing quite like a T-rex, a Dromeiceiomimus, and a Utahraptor discussing ethical relativism to make me laugh. I'm sure you other SLU people can appreciate it, seeing as how you've all studied entirely too much philosophy as well.

So I don't think that Chris's friends realize I'm only 24. Which means one of two things: 1) I'm sophisticated and mature for my age. B) I act like an old person. I am hoping it's the first option, but fear it's the second. Being sophisticated and having my head on somewhat straighter than most of my 'peers' is a flattering idea. However, I ( Read more... )

So I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but at this point, I'm comfortable, I guess. I don't particularly like my job, but it's really easy, and they pay me halfway decent, actually they probably overpay me for what i do. and to quote Office Space "i don't think i'd like another job." Saturday was SLU graduation day, which means ( Read more... )

Alright, here are some interesting questions posed by my buddy Chester, along with my answers. Enjoy ( Read more... )

So I should know better by now...but Saturday night Emily and I went to Racanelli's and I ate entirely too much pizza...I'm 24, I'm too old for stupid shit like that, aren't I? One would think. So I haven't felt right since, and It's been a couple days. I think that the massive amounts of mold and cigarette smoke I inhaled this weekend helped ( Read more... )
