So, I'm actually doing it for real now and moving to Chicago sometime next month. I have a job, so now all I need is a place to live, then to wrap up some things on this end, pack shit up, and get on my way. So, yeah, my trip out there last week went amazingly well in every way. My interview went very well, and I'm actually excited to get out ( Read more... )

I know this is far from a profound statement, but the movie Catwoman is one of the worst things I have ever seen, movie or otherwise. Aside from the obvious reasons, it crosses the line into painful/insulting territory because it's not so bad that it's good. It's just so fucking bad! It makes me want to hurt my cats! Watch her gobble sushi! ( Read more... )

Today was a rather eventful day at work, which is actually kind of nice. What was not nice was how the breakroom/offices smelled. What was the culprit? I'm actually not sure, but part of the problem was...

At around 12 PM yesterday afternoon, we started the 2006 fantasy baseball auction. This was the first of these I'd participated in since high school, and it was quite the event, as I had remembered. Of course, now I am much older and while it was fun for most of it, I stopped having fun as the clock ticked 1 AM...then 2AM...until I finally got ( Read more... )

My work schedule has been kind of awful lately. Last week I had to close on Sunday (we got out at around 11:30) and then be back at 7 AM Monday. I got about 3 hours of sleep, which is always a treat. I recommend it highly anytime you need to stay awake for another day of work. After that, I closed for the rest of the week. This week, I again ( Read more... )

I just realized that I never told my exciting New Year's Day adventure to livejournal! Well, it wasn't really an adventure, but I did discover how powerful a food allergy could be. I've been eating a lot healthier over the last few months (early midlife crisis and all, you see) and thus have been trying new foods, including fruits. I really ( Read more... )

I just don't like doing laundry. The main reason (so I believe) is because I have to go outside to do it here at my apartment. It's really not a very long walk or anything, but the fact that I have to put on shoes and perhaps a coat or something makes it all a hassle. That said, one thing that makes doing laundry more tolerable is that no one is ( Read more... )

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where things just seem to stand still? Where the days don't move quickly enough? I thought I knew what time standing still was like until now...well, now I do, but I didn't before. This is February! It's my birthday month! It should treat me better than it has! Anyway, things will get better soon ( Read more... )
