Well, I'm in Kansas City now and am currently at work. I'm not sure what I should be doing so I'm not doing anything. I should probably ask what I should do, but I'll probably be asked to call suppliers or something and that's approximately the last thing I want to do on a Friday afternoon. I hate the phone anyway; I particularly hate the phone when I don't know what I'm talking about.
I stayed in a hotel for about a week and a half and then moved into a studio loft downtown. I haven't quite figured out how I feel about the area but I do like my building and my apartment. Furniture I'm renting finally arrives tomorrow so I will no longer be sleeping/sitting on the floor. This'll be the first time I'll have a couch that isn't someone else's trash. Sure, it'll be used, but not as used as the last two I've had, and that's really what's important.
I'm still not sure how I feel about Kansas City. It's a tough city to be alone in. And it's really easy to get lost here. There are a lot of concerts this week and next, most of which I should attend but the motivation just isn't there. After next week I don't think there's a lot going on so maybe I should go see Reggie and the Full Effect tonight. But I really need to do laundry and prepare my apartment for furniture. I went to Taste of Chaos last night and just wasn't really feeling it and ended up leaving before the Deftones played since I was falling asleep during Thrice. I'm an old woman. I'm trying to go see the Dresden Dolls on the 5th but the only way to go is to win tickets through this radio station. Annoying. I'll be going to see them that Friday in Chicago now anyway. It's pretty cheap to fly from KC to Chicago on a few airlines.
I'm not going to say I'm particularly happy here currently, but I will say that I'm glad I'm here. This position is going to be great experience and hopefully the other part of my ticket to whatever company I want to work for in NYC. I was hoping I could like somewhere with a low cost of living like Kansas City as much as New York, but there's a reason for that insane cost of living: nowhere compares to New York in any aspect. That's all. It's not other cities' faults but more of New York's perfection that causes the imbalance. I just have to learn to quit comparing places and be sure to live wherever I am. Period.
Okay, that's all for now.
