inconsistent

It's been a long time since I posted. Mostly, I have been busy and preoccupied with all kinds of stuff. Work is most often the culprit. Not an excuse. Or kind of like an excuse. Okay...an excuse.

So here's to inconsistent web posts and work ruining my life.

Shhhhhhh!

I'm working at the library today. Parking is free, the view is beautiful and there's cheap coffee downstairs. It's pretty much the best place in the world.

Anyway, read my latest CW piece HERE.

There will be another next week. So, feel free to be ecstatic.

Yep, pretty much I'm kicking this writing thing's ass.

Article update

Got the article thing worked out. Thanks for asking.

In other news, another new piece will be out next week.

If anyone has any ideas about feature pieces, let me know. I am wanting to score a cover story by the end of the year.

Goodbye cruel world

I'm going to the mountains for a couple days. Yep, just getting away from the city and the heat and the noise. Going to do a little fishing. Maybe some hiking. Mostly it'll just be nice to be with Nate and not have cell phones or work or plumbing. Well, that part I'm not too thrilled with. But I guess a toilet is a small price to pay for a little bit of sanity.

Great news.

Hey, it's Wednesday everyone!

And in the words of Craig Ferguson, "It's a great day for America, everybody."

Why?

Well, because I don't have to work tonight.

The end.

Phone frenzy

Its not that I don't love you, but I have been stuck in iPhone land since Thursday. Today has been a combo of trying to get back to normal and a lot of aches and pains from long shifts.

In other news, people are crazy. Seriously. Who would camp out for two days for a telephone? I love Apple and all, but really? Really? Is that how you want to spend your Friday and Saturday? For me, it is a passion, but I also get paid. A phone is not that important. Plus in a few days, you won't have to wait in line at all. I think, anyway.

So, if you have been waiting in line for most of the weekend for your phone, please don't tell me. Because you will be confirmed crazy and we will have to break up.

The end.

A few thoughts on the end

Today was my last day at the Park Record.

Finally.

A few thoughts:

If the place burns to the ground, it would be this kind of ironic twist of fate.
If certain people got hit by cars, it really wouldn't be much of a loss.
If every one good quits, a great deal of misery will end.

I could say many more things, but I won't.

I'm just glad it's over.
And I can move on.
Finally.

Day off

I am trying to use up my vacation days before I leave the newspaper. So I took today off.

I rode my bike (yes, I am back on my trusty steed. My leg is doing better, thanks for asking...) down to Graywhale (my local indie CD shop) and bought the new CD from a band I just discovered.

Spaceships

When I am at my new job at Apple, I remember how much I don't like my old job. And then I think about spaceships.

Bought a bike

I bought a bike the other day. Yes, the one pictured above. It was delivered today. Yes, I purchased a bike through the mail. That's what my life has come to. I don't have time to go to local bike shops because I'm always at work.

Ironically, I bought the bike so I can ride it to work. And soon, I will have less jobs, so I could go to a bike shop.

I don't know even know what that means because I am very tired and need to go to bed.

So I'm going to.

Good night.

We need new jobs.

Yesterday, Nate told me about talking to some friends at the fishing shop and getting so excited that he wanted to "quit my job and just go fishing all the time."

"Me too...and then I would..."

"Write all the time."

"Yeah, and work at the Apple Store. I'd really like that."

"We should do it."

"And get a dog. Do it and get a dog."

Worky, work

Both Nate and I work tonight, because apparently, we don't like to see each other at all.

Ever.

But whatever. Maybe someday I won't work three jobs and I can see my boyfriend. And we can have sex.
