New blog
I love LiveJournal, but I think it's time to move on. Behold, the new blog: Polarity of Sound, once again, because I'm super-creative. Check it out! -
How to move
One month before moving: Sign lease on new, pretty apartment in the Big Bad City. Resolve to turn in notice at current apartment post haste. Make a list of all the credit cards, magazines, and other postal flotsam you'll have to change your address with. Marvel at how efficient and put-together you are.

One year
March 2006 compared to March 2007:
- My knees no longer hurt.
- Neither does my back.
- My stomach doesn't give me as much trouble as it always did.
- I can see and feel real, honest-to-God muscles in my arms and legs.
- My double chin is receding.
- I can run for a mile without stopping or feeling like a heart attack is imminent.
- I don't get out of breath ( Read more... )
- My knees no longer hurt.

The Quandary
So, here's the thing: I hate my current job, but I can't think of anything else I'd like to do. I'm stuck. So I'm asking y'all for help in finding me a new career path. Here's the sitch as it stands now:
Strengths- Typing skills
- Mad BA skillz

You can take the hayseeds out of the country . . .
Liz and I went to the symphony last Saturday, which is becoming a pretty regular thing with us, since we both go to all the concerts where I sing, and the majority of the concerts David Robertson conducts. This past weekend, the program was All Russian, All the Time: Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy, Rimsky-Korsakov's Le Coq D'or Suite, and a ( Read more... ) -
Memememememe
Home sick from work today, so I figured I'd update this poor neglected blog with a meme stolen from Anonymous:
1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Sang at Carnegie Hall, made out with a guy on the dance floor, went to Big Sur, bought a car.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?I ( Read more... ) -
Out of the mouths of babes
So Liz and I went to a local Breadco (St. Louis Bread Co. here, Panera Bread everywhere else) and were having a lovely discussion about evolution and creationism and aesthetics and Richard Dawkins and other weighty things when a little girl a couple of tables over asks her mom, adorably, "Mom, why is it snowing?

Thanksgiving Day
This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for wine. As of 9:30 tonight, I have had four glasses--two white, two red--and believe you me, this entry would have to have been posted from a loony bin if not for the sweet, sweet juice of the grape ( Read more... ) -
Life in the Lou
It seems our fair city may soon have to rethink its customary inferiority complex: while David Robertson continues his well-deserved victory lap around Powell Hall after his awesome premiere season, the arts in St. Louis are making a swift comeback, and, capping off the first season in their brand-new stadium, our little baseball team just won the ( Read more... ) -
Workin' for the Man
So I found a new job last week. This was necessitated by the fact that my current job ends along with the year 2006, and by the fact that, with my current temp company, MP, I don't get any sick or personal days, and only one week of vacation (which I've already used for this year), which sucks hairy donkey balls. In a couple of weeks, I become a ( Read more... )
