I said my losing streak is done.
You guys. I got a new job. I GOT A NEW JOB. I've wanted this for so long that it doesn't even seem real but it's true and it's awesome: I'm going to be doing communications and web stuff for a nonprofit, which is exactly what I want to do in exactly the field I want to be doing it. And downtown! And it's a fantastic career move. I am PUMPED. I feel like I've been waiting for something to happen for forever and now it finally finally has, you know?
(Of course now that I've given notice at my current job it's sunk in as real, and I'm a little sad to be leaving people here and a little nervous because it's been three years since I've started a new job. I did enjoy how I've basically strongarmed them here into letting me work on whatever projects I think are interesting. But I've been desperate to get out of here for approximately forever, and this is so excellent. To cheese it up, I feel like I've been asleep for ages and I'm finally waking up. ALSO now I can stop applying to jobs! HOORAY. Although I'm going to miss the library access like a missing limb.)
I've been having a busy, awesome summer. I went to Maine twice and New York once. I turned a quarter of a century old. Harry Potter devoured me body and soul. Last Friday I saw Superbad (MCLOVIN) with imogenics and when we got out I had a text from a friend at the Page France show (I loooove them) at the Middle East Downstairs, which is probably my favorite venue in the city, and there were still tickets so I went and they were of course great (although their set was shorter than last time I saw them) and basically I'd like all my nights to go like that, 'k? Here are two of their songs I haven't shared before: Junkyard and Say Wolf in the Summertime (live).
They were opening for Bishop Allen, who were pretty good, too. Here's one of their songs that's kind of Modest Mouse-y: Bishop Allen - Busted Heart.
(Oh, and bee_stung, cheapmetaphor & stip, please note: I am updating! Maybe I will actually do so more in the future??)
Tonight I'm going to a baby shower for a friend, which is the first baby shower for a friend of my adult life, which must mean I'm actually an adult. Also the fact that I'm really excited.
It's felt like late summer all week. Something about the light in August. Someone should use that for a book title or something.
