it's been kind of a tough week. pretty sure i got screwed over by the folks at the restaurant that was a "sure thing" where i was supposed to interview this past wednesday. which is too bad, because otherwise i would have started my job search in earnest 2 weeks ago instead of like, now. the heat and humidity and lack of air conditioning is wearing ( Read more... )

since i know very little about computers, and have spent way too much time wrestling with this one recently, i have a little question ( Read more... )

trying to get things in order for the coming week. re-liquefied a half-pint of crystallized honey, did all my dishes (love having to move all roomie's dishes to one side of the sink cause it was stacked too high to run water into anything taller than a bowl, but whatevs, roommate living...), trying to do some room reorganizing to fit more shit in ( Read more... )

so i don't even know how to think about the things i do when i'm with todd. it all seems really surreal now, gardner makes fun of me for being a rock star, which is so outlandish i don't even know how to wrap my head around it, but i sure did have an event-filled last few days.

friday we went out to see faith no more play at this awesome new ( Read more... )

so we went out last night and ended up at the Brooklyn bowl, definitely something to check out if you're in the area (bar, restaurant, music venue, bowling alley!). Turns out one of Todd's friends who used to work at the 40 watt in Athens is now a manager there and after Todd asked a few questions, the manager said I've got a job there if I want it ( Read more... )

so yesterday's run was excellent, most likely owing to the lower temperatures. i have a few different loops through/around the park i've been working on, but my most recent goal has been to actually make one of the shorter ones without having to walk at all, and yesterday i did it! sure it's only 2.5 miles, but it's a good start and i feel like ( Read more... )

oh glorious day that is not blazing hot! actually got to put my blanket on top of the sheet, and i sleep way better with the proper weight on me. however, after another late night last night i have zero motivation to run. the temperature means i have a lot more leeway in terms of what time i have to go, but since i didn't run yesterday i really and ( Read more... )

since i know it's going to be 90 degrees again monday, i decided i'd better get off my arse and tackle this unpacking, for reals, so that monday i have nothing to do but work on my resume - in the library. fortunately, i discovered what my major obstacle had been with unpacking, especially where the kitchen is concerned -- since we have about 2 ( Read more... )

today was rough, this was a lot of heat to handle without air conditioning, and i kind of folded under it all and just stayed in my room (the only part of the house with a fan) and watched a movie while the heat was the worst. dinner was good, though, lightly sauteed kale with lemon butter, mushrooms, and spring garlic over barley, and some cheese ( Read more... )

so aparently $20 is what it takes to make me a happier person in this city. the heat has been pretty unbearable in the apartment (no ac, 5th floor) and i'd taken to getting my top sheet damp beore going to sleep because it was the only thing that kept me marginally cool enough to survive the nights. yesterday i'd had enough and went to the "bargain ( Read more... )
