waiting for the day to start

I haven't blogged in a while because I'm frantically trying to restore balance to my life. it's working, albeit slowly. and I still need a roommate.

I went to a ren faire over the weekend with my beloved and her friend. I'm such a huge nerd, because I enjoyed the heck out of it.

and the allure of riches is a retardedly huge pull in the states. I'm beyond broke and I'm still wishing I had more money so I could buy this and that. rich young ruler, no kidding...my kingdom is the little niche of nothing I've carved for myself and I'm trying to protect it at all costs. foolishness.

delay

I've had a lot going on, and as such it's been hard to stay on top of everything. I saw "Catch Me If You Can" the musical, and it was far and away better than I expected (I expected to be out of there by intermission).

and I love my girl dearly, so much it hurts. you all needed to know that whether you needed to know it or not.

holy hotness Batman!

it's not quite the hottest part of the week yet. Wednesday and Thursday currently hold that honor, apparently. oh the joy of working an outside job...

I haven't quite cooled down enough to actually fall asleep, which is unfortunate because I wouldn't mind getting more sleep tonight.

why this weather must come to Seattle is a bit beyond me....

high speed chase

Beth and I were driving home (technically speaking I was driving and she was riding) tonight from a trip into Redmond. our last stop was at Safeway, and, having loaded up the groceries, I proceeded out of the parking lot and onto the main arterial that would take us back into Kirkland. 5 blocks into our trip I noticed the car behind us had a lightbar and was obnoxiously close to my bumper. "hey pal, if you want to climb up my tailpipe be my guest. I'm already going 5 over." I kinda wish I had actually said that out loud. instead, I mention to B that there was a cop following us.

she commented that I was doing nothing wrong (something I was already well aware of). confident in my innocence of anything I continued. the jerkoff cop up my tailpipe backed off a bit, but kept following me. I turned down the first sidestreet to B's place, and J. Off Cop followed us. again, supremely confident that I had neither been speeding nor been guilty of any other moving violation, and also confident that for whatever asinine reason Mr. Nothing-Better-To-Do-Than-Follow-People-Until-They-Screw-Up Cop was going to pull me over, I powered on down to the next side street, the one that B's place was on. I made it through the roundabout and just got onto the street (2 blocks from B's door) when he flipped his lights on. "are you serious." that was B. I don't think I said anything.

so I pull off, and Officer Make-Up-A-Crime-For-Me came up to the window. "evening officer." "how're you folks doing? just you two in the car? (duh) you visiting from Oregon? (dad's car still, thanks)"

"your taillight is out."


oh.

I didn't get the job

although I guess it was down to me and another candidate. it was a fun ride breezing through the interviews, but, alas, apparently I'm not what they wanted.

so I'll keep digging holes and building fences until another job opportunity comes up. still need a roommate, still need a life, still need...gosh, I probably need everything. oh shoot, and it looks like I need to go to work too. dag nab it.

I don't wanna work, I just wanna bang on the drum all day

but I am working, and not playing percussion.

family is in town. therefore this week is redeemed

link up!

I joined LinkedIn. it's another networking site, only this one centers on careers and jobs and such.

maybe I can find a new career.



or not.
