Still looking for a job. The one offered to me just didn't offer enough to live around here. Almost half of the salary would go towards rent, and it's not like my shared rent is astronomical, you know? So, looking ( Read more... )

It's been a very long time (almost a year) since I've written here. I think although I like FB, this is more appropriate for personal stuff since I tend to do more business stuff on twitter, which gets posted on my FB ( Read more... )

I've been absent. Well, busy. I was in Atlanta for Dragon Con with Pete, I've been working loads, I've been spending at least half of my days off (or more) with Johnny, and this week a cousin is in town on business, but we get to hang on the weekend ( Read more... )

John and I had a really good weekend. Friday night we decided to go out in the city so we went to a little tapas place called Alta. It's actually not that small.

To be honest, sounds like a crack ( Read more... )

There's this 87 year old woman that has lived in the neighborhood where my job is for what she says is 40 years. (I don't know about that, she seems a bit not entirely grasping what has and hasn't happened, though she comes off as entirely lucid) She lived in what amounted to a hole of an unfinished basement apartment: no bathroom, filthy, slept on ( Read more... )

My roommate got an apartment deal in the city she just can't turn down. I totally understand, however, this leaves me in a very bad place. It's just a bad month. My hours got cut two months ago to 32 hours, which is why I'm struggling, summer is slow for my business, I missed a week of work due to illness, and now I either have to come up with an ( Read more... )
