Madison is the type of place that is so pretty, so eclectic yet so normal, and so incredibly livable that it would seem too cliche for anyone to want to be here if it weren't for the fact that unlike cliches of probably any other kind, the more cliche a city is, the better. If a city is cliche it means people have tried to replicate some feature or ( Read more... )

A sizable part of me thinks my last visit to Bloomington was one too many. I would completely feel that way but for some necessary goodbyes I really needed to have. But other than that, things this time around were different. Coming during the week was less exciting just because everyone was working or really busy packing for moves to new places.

I'm down to two more days at work. This is going to be a sinch (sp?). In a way it makes me feel like I could have stayed another week, but when I think about it, I was crazy for thinking I'd only give myself one week off before moving to Madison. That's crazy talk. I have shit to do, people. Anyway, I have little cares in the world these days. It's ( Read more... )

I have over 4000 songs on iTunes. I think this is a good amount, not too little to get boring not too many to never listen to the same song twice. I add new songs and artists while deleting things I don't really listen to or didn't really enjoy on a pretty regular basis so it keeps that 4000 mark pretty consistent. Also, my iPod is one of those old ( Read more... )

I've decided to quit my job a week early. Next friday is my last day. I think I can go without complaining in this thing until then. Hopefully. So really, just seven more days of 5am wake up calls. Awesome. I'm not sure anyone understands how excited I am to like, stay up til 3am watching movies, sleeping in until 2, sitting at my pool (finally!), ( Read more... )

I spent the weekend in Bloomington which is nearly always like the opening line of A Tale of Two Cities. Except this isn't the French Revolution, it's just my life. When I'm making the four hour drive down I'm stopped by traffic that's trying to keep me down, my knees won't stop bouncing, I call people and we celebrate my near arrival. I make great ( Read more... )

Hi all ( Read more... )

I'm missing my friends so much lately. My weekends are the one opportunity I have to see them, or really, just be in contact with them. I've been so busy this summer I haven't been able to see the people I've wanted to see nearly as much as I'd like to. I only saw Collin once before he left for the summer. I fell asleep Friday night before I even ( Read more... )
