I haven't updated in forever, but I needed some breathing room before I could really think about things. My job is done - Wed was my last day. Thank God. Parts of it were really great for me, but overall it was just exhausting and the (very little) money did not make up for the shit (which was sadly both figurative and literal). Got my section ( Read more... )

In CT, which has been surprisingly good so far. Tomorrow is (the reason for my visit) the madre's birthday, so we're going to dinner and to see Pirates to celebrate. Sounds good to me. It has been so amazing to be off work for more than 16 hours and to not be in the apartment, which, as much as I love it, is very very hot. Did a whole bunch of ( Read more... )

This is all a bit late, but here goes. Tom Petty = very, very good - amazing, in fact. Macbeth at Shakespeare in the Park = overall, quite good. Loved Jennifer Ehle. An Inconvenient Truth = very good. Prairie Home Companion = good, but disappointing. It could have been much better. Excited for Superman, Devil Wears Prada, and of course, ( Read more... )

I'm currently in a really shitty mood, but I'm also really excited about some of what's going on for me, so I don't know. I'm starting to feel like Mr. Cellophane on a lot of levels, which is never a good sign (but it's not a particularly unusual one either). I'd like to either be in people's lives or for them to just leave me alone, and none of ( Read more... )

My first entry from my Mac! Hooray! Still need to iron out a few internet details in the apt (am currently writing from the public library) but life is pretty good. Applying for jobs, which I would really like to be done with so I can just start working and making money, but whatever. I haven't been doing much of late, just reading and watching ( Read more... )

So, Andy's birthday was good times. I wasn't nearly as ridiculous as I thought I would be (there are SO many perks to being Irish). Now I'm trying to do work, but I just want to bask in the happy apartment - though I'm not going to lie, when the men finish working on the roof directly over my head I'll be happy. Currently sitting in the dungeon/ ( Read more... )

We're in the apartment. And I love it. It already feels like home. The first few days were a little crazy with furniture and our lives everywhere (well, for me, both my furniture and my life were in boxes, so that was interesting.) IKEA furniture is thankfully not that hard to assemble - I helped put it all together - I guess years of keeping ( Read more... )

So, I need to bitch.  Personally, I feel that a 32 page paper about a 12th century British historian is more than adequate and that making me drag it out for about 8 more pages is cruel and unusual punishment, besides being absolutely unnecessary.  I'm not even getting graded on this - but since I want to graduate, I feel that finishing it is in my ( Read more... )

So, this weekend was pretty good.  Went to the Yankees game with a few Honors kids on Saturday, which was good times (although I think Michael and I scared them a lot).  For the first time ever, though, I left before the game was over.  I can handle 45 degree temperatures, but when it then starts to rain it's just time to leave.  I did get the ( Read more... )

General note: I'm really tired of feeling like a freak. When almost everyone around me plays into that (even if it is unknowingly), it's really not fun ( Read more... )
