It's official. My two roommates and I are leaving our apartment at the end of January. This is new territory, life-wise, for me- I've never moved from an apartment to (ostensibly) another apartment. I've always moved from house to dorm room or dorm room to apartment or apartment to dorm room. Jeez ( Read more... )

My future (financial, mostly) right now isn't too certain. One thing I do know, however, is that I AM going to see Rush in 2011 ( Read more... )

Nighttime yoga whilst listening to Déjà Vu by CSNY- great idea, or GREATEST idea?

What better day to a) get Internet back and b) hear that Girl Talk dropped a new album?

I'm listening to it right now and LOVING it. Black Sabbath and Ludacris! The Ramones and the Doors! Iggy Pop and Lady GaGa! Simon and Garfunkel and Lil Jon! INXS and Cream!

K: Everyone's quick to point out some of Rush's songs are Ayn Rand-influenced. However, the vast majority of their songs decry selfish, destructive behavior and encourage altruistic actions.
M: Right. Also, Led Zeppelin is J.R.R. Tolkien-influenced. I don't think they are saying "Go to Mordor"
or "Hey- be a hobbit"

My status as an unemployed person has been valid technically since October 2009, but now that I'm a college graduate going on almost five months and I still haven't been able to find a steady job, here's how my time has been spent ( Read more... )

I hardly ever use this anymore. Sad! Oh well. . . graduating was incredibly anti-climactic. Roommates moving out, no job, feeling blah.

But I just had this exchange with Mary:

K: Like, for fuck's sake. . . with his hair down he looks like Jesus. If Jesus liked Rush.
M: Um, why would that even be a question?!

Now stuff like that warms my heart.

I've had this freaking LJ since 2003. I forgot to post on June 4th like I would normally but hey, I might have a life. . . oh who am I kidding. . .

But I AM a college graduate. Woah. Crazy shit.
