(no subject)
my life has gotten exponentially better in the last few weeks. oh, let me count the ways!
i am currently living in st. louis, working three easy yet well-paying jobs. between the three jobs, (two of which are in the same building and basically count as one though they go by different names) i get about 40 hours a week, though it varies (this week i am working more). my jobs are fun and i am constantly surrounded by fun people (last night, after work, out to dinner, a co-worker relayed a story to everyone involving him being arrested while very intoxicated, and the officer finding a taco in his back pocket upon searching him). in the short time i've been here, i've already saved well over $700 even though i am a regular at the trendy vintage clothes store next door to my weekday job (the gay man there loves me and gives me half off of many items). i am having a ball.
zeb has been doing some work for my uncle, involving cleaning out a bar he closed down three years ago or so. although my uncle is a habitual hoarder, he has given zeb quite a few things: two cool tables, four legit retro barstools, a cool old chair, an old light-up beer sign, a microwave, and a giant chest of drawers. i've been cleaning up the tables and barstools tonight, and am excited because they look very very cool.
we live in a neat part of town. on one side is the cherokee antique row. some say it's the next central west end. it's where i work and there are tons of neat stores. on another side is the anheuser-busch brewery. sometimes when they roast hops, it smells outside. finally, we are blocks away from soulard. some of the best restaurants are in soulard. last weekend, we went wandering around the area, and stumbled upon a car show/fleamarket, complete with a dunking tank. that was fun. lessons learned that day: hammerstone's has great spinach toasted ravioli, and i need to burn my chicago cubs shirt because there's no way i'm accidentally going out in public wearing that again. zeb told me i should've turned it inside out.
not to mention my grades were awesome.
