Crazily enough, I'm sitting here on the couch, watching the Stanley Cup finals ... making it the first hockey I've actively watched since the Frozen Four. I guess that's the downside of working within your passion - it makes you appreciate your time away from it. Don't get me wrong - I still enjoy hockey ... it's just ... different now, I guess. It ( Read more... )

As my grandma on my mom's side passed away this past week (second gma this spring), I got to drive cross-country with my mom for the funeral. I got to do this since I'm not encumbered by silly such things like, oh, you know, work. I really don't know how I used to do that drive all the time with my mom back in the day - I seriously wanted to murder ( Read more... )

... applying for career-type jobs sucks and sucks hard. Boo. 

So I know I haven't updated in what, four months?, but hey, life happened. I'll try to give the short, maybe bullet-pointed version, though, just so you know what I've been up to.

January:
- Went and saw Zoolights at the zoo for the first time ever. Our zoo around the holidays does this thing where it has light-up animals to go with the real ones. So ( Read more... )

Granted, we're only what, two days into the new year? But compared to last year, this is already better. Last year, I started off the year not even ringing it in like I was supposed to when plans fell horribly apart. I then had to work early and proceeded to get a flat tire the next day.

This year, my New Year's wasn't all that great, but compared ( Read more... )

OMGWTFBBQ!!!11!!!!one!!11! I'm updating less than a month after my last entry!!!

*ahem*

Anyway, Merry Christmas or whatever y'all celebrate (christmaramahanukwaanzsolsticefestivyule?) out there. Yesterday was spent finishing up gifts for the family and a few friends (i still have a TON to make and send out ... late) and talking to SG again. Yeah, my ( Read more... )

 Hey, me again. Life's been pretty quiet up until this past weekend, actually. Benny and her mom came over for Thanksgiving, I hung out with a whole bunch of NDS and a bunch of Sioux fans for that series and I got another duty at da 'Cho thanks to the executive editor being sick as hell. I still rarely see AA and JJ is miserable in his relationship ( Read more... )

So I know I've mentioned it about 50 times (or more) since January, but I hate 2007. Seriously, fuck 2007 in the ass with a rusty, splintered metal pole.

The latest issue has been my car (go figure). I got my snow tires put on my car Friday for the season and also because I needed to drive down to the Springs that night for a game. One of the tires ( Read more... )

 First off, even though it's Friday I'm still awake therefore I can still say Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
And yes, sadly, I'm still awake. I've been sleeping like crap lately and the insomnia apparently just boiled over tonight which really sucks since I have to drive down to the Springs tonight and I really don't nap well. *sigh*

However, since I ( Read more... )

 Nothing much here except I'm still apparently incapable of having fun. Yep.

Of course, this entry should have been made last night, but I'm no longer in the zombie-malaise I was then.
