i'm talking bollocks to amuse you, i hope

i might just be falling in love.







no, not like that; with this woman
for the myspacers..this woman
for the youtubers, well, hahaha you'll just have to scroll a little won't you! because like clockwork, when i find a new musical love i undoubtably include a video for you. at this point i haven't chosen one, but by the time i publish this entry i will have :)

So, I graduated. What's with that? now i have to find a job so i can get the hell out of this awful place. I mean yeah, it's nice to not really do anything for awhile, but it's the part where everyone comes home and the dynamic is stressful that makes me want to leave.
I have however been looking for a new kitten, and will be getting one in the next few days assuming i can find one that i want. pics, of course, will come.

the only thing i can think of, beyond said entry into the real world, that is bad about graduation is that part about knowing that you won't be moving back into the room across the hall from all your other friends again in the fall. i'm sure i'll be seeing some of mine again in DC soon, but it won't be quite the same.




okay. video timeeeeeee! this is not the *best* video ever, but it is funny (and new friend, you might recognize it, because it was taken at the concert YOU were at!!!)
and yes, that is melissa ferrick on the trumpet ;)

we're on the wrong side again

I ate a hamburger today. A Cav burger to be exact (which is important, because Cav burgers are not only the best in the world, but my favorite, and this was my last for a long time.)
Anyway, I haven't eaten beef in about a week because I'm trying to eat healthier and I'm gradually reducing certain foods out of my diet. Well, that stupid hamburger (which I didn't even eat all of...maybe I ate half) is making me sick.

food shouldn't do that. food is sustainance, and nourishment. If it makes you sick, unless it is extremely spicy or you are allergic, there is something wrong with that. It shouldn't matter how often you eat it.

This experience only reinforces my avid support of organic foods (because the food has been exposed to fewer, if any, chemicals) and unprocessed foods when reasonably attainable.


In other news, I've been messing around on my guitar lately, working on strumming and learning the finger positions for some chords (mostly just trying to get comfortable with the instrument, which I'm finding comes very naturally to me compared to other things). I'm excited, because I'm starting to get the really sore fingers, which means I'll get callouses soon, which means I can really get into learning to play because my fingers won't hurt so much!!!!!

you aren't a real guitar player until you have callouses :)

so my tummy hurts, I have 8:15 rehearsal in the morning, and in less than 12 hours I will officially be a college graduate.
too much.

behavior i just can't grow into

I'm going to try to blog. I've been feeling quite reticent lately.

1) I am now officially only short 1 t/s cd. Acquired This Business of Art while I was in DC earlier this week. In love with it, not that that would be news to you. ;)

2) had lunch with my old (boss?) coworkers on tuesday, and got a push for some other jobs. the interview was okay, but the office environment wasn't as enthusiastic or as progressive as PM. Maybe my standards are too high, but I like to think that it isn't unreasonable to appreciate a lively work environment, or coworkers who seem really into what they are doing (not just as a job).

4) i couldn't think of a number three.

5) I'm halfway packed. I think this is progress, seeing as my family comes in two days, and I still need to be able to live here until graduation.

6) I'd also like to commend myself on progressing from "every article of clothing I own is dirty" to "every article of clothing I own is clean" in a spry 3 hours. w00t.
--->you may not think this is significant, but it is. Why? because i didn't get to take a shower this morning because i didn't have clean underwear to put on afterwards. read: significant accomplishment. means i can shower soon.

7) loved Dc while i was there. LOVED. LOVED. in all honesty i might have loved it more because of the company i kept than anything else, but the smells and sounds and foods i have missed so much.

8) I drove in downtown dc all by myself. and i didn't wreck, or get lost. woohoo!!!! am initiated into the not-a-DC-reject club.

9) thanks to hayjay, i got nerdy this afternoon and dug deeper into the features of my gmail account (and subsequently, the rest of google). Labels and filters are awesome. Also, Google Calendar? Amazing. I organized my inbox. Tagged all my emails, and set up filters so now they tage themselves....muahahahaha! Also read up on Gmail's chat feature, which is like sending quick messages through gmail to your contacts.. like IM through email or something. I saw a coworker use it at work last summer and it was superconvenient.
Anyway, moral of the story.... if you're not on gmail, you should be. If you need an Invite, I have 99 left. :)

10) time only moves in one direction. it never gets earlier.. always getting later, moving forward. It's not like I haven't always known this, I just never thought about it this way before.
"keeps me on my toes
where did the time go?"

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

I have about 12 jobs to apply for tomorrow.

I hate writing cover letters; makes me feel like a bottle of ketchup, and i'm certainly not in the advertising business.

Going to call my dad tomorrow to run by him the idea of me going and getting a weim from the shelter in staunton and bringing her home until graduation. haha..yeah, not getting my hopes up.
talked to the fam yesterday, and dad thinks it is too much of a coincidence that right after my sweet boy gets kidney failure and has to be put down, they start recalling all this petfood (and kidney failure is one of the primary symptoms.) not cool. all my pets will be eating organic from now on, because organic food doesn't use wheat gluten made with chemicals. funny that *now* they're starting to recall dry food too.

if i get the go for the dog, i'll be looking for a couple of buddies to ride with me on the different legs of the trip (i'll have to go up to staunton to pick her up, then come back to macon for a rest stop and a meal, then drive her to NC). it would be a free road trip with a cute puppy, and some good home cooked food, and a night away from macon. what's to lose?
i'll keep you updated.

stiiiilll no sdd date. since some other not-in-our-group folks signed up at our tables, i'm almost feeling like i would rather go out to eat. we'd be far away from all the drama, and we would have some great food and conversation within a group of people we really love. it's up to the group, of course, and it is totally like me to prefer the escape route to the direct confrontation. but still, not a bad idea.

i'm tired. i'm bored. i don't want to work. blah blah. same story.

time to graduate?

If you see me tomorrow, I could use a hug.


finally, here's your dumbass of the day, and i don't mean the kid.
