Hey everyone. I know it’s been awhile, that it’s funny that my last “real” post was over a year ago stating that I would blog more. Well, guess I was wrong! Sorry about that… although it’s not like you missed all that much, anyway. :)
So I just finished re-doing my entire site. I didn’t do a redesign, so if you didn’t notice much of a difference, that is why. Basically, the last version was entirely XSLT-driven (and I really mean entirely), with just a main page and the gallery. It was fun to code at the time, but I was…
The past week or so has been pretty surreal. I sat around for a few days and did nothing, and then I went to Mexico. I get back and start a new job, but my first week is only two days long. Now it’s Thanksgiving. First of all, how in the world is it already Thanksgiving? That means December is on the horizon, which means the holidays, Christmas, yada yada. I swear, time if flying by way too fast.
The trip to Mexico was awesome. I already want to go back. I got to see ruins and pyramids, and I met…
Last night I went to see Architecture in Helsinki. I got to Emo’s past 10pm, and it was there and then that I encountered another human being for the first time that entire day.
The past three days have been pretty uneventful. I’ve done nothing during the days. Literally nothing. I’d get up at 12 or 1pm, eat, do nothing for a couple of hours, watch a lot of The Office or 24, eat more, do more nothing, watch some movies, take a nap or two… OK, I went to the gym (apartment complex gym, that is) a couple of times.…
Today is my first day of no work, and I’m taking full advantage by doing absolutely nothing! I am actually pretty exhausted - yesterday was the Celabracion ultimate hat tourney, in which I played a full day of ultimate after getting about 3 hours of sleep Saturday night (yes, I know, I’m stupid). That prompted me to go to bed at 10:30pm last night, perhaps my earliest bedtime since college, and get up at 12:30pm today. Ah, the beginnings of the compensation of 3 months of solid sleep deprivation.
Today is a rest day - I’m skipping ultimate and running and…
So here I am, sitting at my desk at the Statesman for the last time. My desk area is clean (a very abnormal sight), my things are packed… I think today, my last day, is the first day I actually feel like I’m leaving. It’s weird thinking that I won’t be coming back to this desk again for work, and I’m sure it will be just as weird the morning of the 20th when I’ll be walking into Springbox for my first day there instead of going to the Statesman. But I suppose these are the things that come with…
So I decided I’m going to do something every day/night until Mexico to take advantage of my time off from work and celebrate my Statesman-Springbox transition. Last night’s Tegan & Sara show @ Stubb’s was the official kick-off to the festivities. Overall an enjoyable show, and it was the first time I showed up to Stubb’s BEFORE the headliner started (remember that Guster show fiasco? grrr).
Tonight is my farewell happy hour followed by Mute Math/Eisley at La Zona Rosa. The happy hour is starting at 219 West at ~6pm. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come join in. In fact,…
