For anyone who doesn't know.. I know longer live in the shenango valley.
This is my second week at my new apartment in Carnegie, right outside of Pittsburgh. I got transfered/promoted to the FYE at the Robinson Mall. It's a really nice one bedroom with brand new carpeting, kitchen cabinets, and bathroom sink/cabinet combo. Exciting, huh?
It's in a really nice area. There is a elementary school football field right behind me. Wednesdays and Fridays are usually game time. If you ever want to come hang out and do shots of whiskey when they score touchdowns, that'd be cool!
The place is still sort of bare and undecorated. I've got my dartboard, a foosball table, a subscription to scientific american mind & pastel mints (i thought it'd be funny) on the coffee table, a big long framed picture of boston, and an old "its a lovely day for a guinness" poster that i bought in seattle last weekend (as i hung out with CHRIS FRISHKORN and his wife Beth all day, can you believe it?!).
Wow, these people sure make a lot of noise for an elementary game.
Comcast cable internet is pretty sweet and fast with blazing speeds; sometimes my modem emits flames.
I really like this place because:
1. It's 15 minutes from work; not 55.
2. It's 15 minutes from the southside/downtown
3. I'm on my own.
So, I guess I'm doing okay with myself. I'm just glad that I actually went through with this after I abruptly decided to set course to transfer down here, for whatever reason. Well, I know why, but that's another story.. I'm busy all the time, working 40+ and I'm also taking an online class. Why on earth I did it so soon, I don't know, but I wanted to test out the online class experience to see if i'd like to do more online classes in the future to work on another degree maybe. Have shows the next couple weekends... San Fran next weekend then Toronto for a big halloween themed jam.
The FYE @ Robinson is good. It's the nicest FYE ive ever seen, and the staff is very good. The store manager is awesome, to be honest he comes close to being just as awaesome as Dan based on this first weeks impressions.
