It's a good feeling to look back on a year and accept the fact that really, it was a hell of a good one ( Read more... )

Definitely exhausted after the day's activities, and I'm not sure how much later I'll be up. I still have gifts to find for cousins, and it's gonna be a long trip tomorrow. New Jersey, hopefully New York for a day ( Read more... )

I left Richmond very late on Friday morning, thanks to the debilitating traffic around my bank, the timely influx of yuppie fucks at Starschmucks, and the ridiculously late hour in which I went to bed [thanks to some enriching folk-punk, a long lost friend, and a few PBRs]. So at about 10:45am I, armed with 3 shots of espresso and and iPod full of ( Read more... )

It's been just over a week since I arrived back in this beloved old bastard of a city. I wouldn't say it's been the most responsible week of my life, but damn, I've had a ton of fun. I've barely used my car, instead relying solely on the moped or my feet to get from place to place. It's been exhilarating. The only bad thing is that Matt left ( Read more... )

You have my heart.

I'll be home before we know it!

Listlessness is a funny thing - it usually rears its ugly head when so many things need to be accomplished. I think I'm improving though. I've been getting out more often, albeit at gunpoint sometimes, and I even dragged the ol' moped out for some sidewalk maintenance, incurring the unwanted attention of the neighborhood drunks.

The first thing I did after my late start was requisition some coffee from the [only] McSpresso place around, which was five towns away, but very necessary, and then stopped ( Read more... )

Have I sufficiently cultivated a sense of drama and anticipation by not writing for NEARLY TWO F-ING WEEKS??? I'm a bad person, what can I say ( Read more... )

My last post didn't really cover much of the holidays that I spent with my immediate family, which, in summation, involved A LOT OF EATING. I mean, not as much gluttony* as say Thanksgiving, but it was close. We did the big Christmas Eve dinner that was always a favorite of my late grandfather, and the Christmas day get-up-ass-early-'cause-it's- ( Read more... )

All righty, blogosphere. I'm stuffed to the epiglottis with cookies, monkey bread, and trifle. And it's only 0830 - all that's from the past two nights. Ugh. Now I'm hitting the road with a VW-load of presents, as my parents are skipping today's trip to let my sister rest at home with her inexplicable Australian virus. So I'm basically the ( Read more... )
