Ok, so Botcon's in Orlando. I definitely want to attend this year. We'll see how things go.

I have not posted anything in a long time. I think it's because that for the first time in a long time I feel as if there's not much to tell. My life does feel like it has been stagnating a bit too much lately. But that doesn't mean the last two months were entirely uneventful. I went down to NIU a few times for football games. For halloween I ( Read more... )

Man, working two jobs can really take it out of you.  I'm still working between 60 to 65 hours a week.  Though while at Wal-Mart I try to find things to do while cashiering to prevent me from going crazy ( Read more... )

Yesterday I headed into Chicago for the comic convention. I missed last year so this was a nice reunion. I also brought Laura with me for the first time. We both had a good time but ended up quite exhausted by the time we returned home.

First off I got a nice haul of graphic novels. I always try to make it to the convention on Sunday since ( Read more... )

Vacation was great. It felt both long and short at the same time. On the 25th we left Rockford for the Wisconsin Dells. It had been years since I had last been there. I think the last time I was there was the summer of 2001. I remember being up there during the Botcon of that year and my thanks that I wasn't just sitting at home while the ( Read more... )

July has been a pretty good month. I haven't done much, but I haven't sat around either. Most of my effort has been working the 60+ hours a week at my two jobs. But I still have taken time to read a bunch. I'm still getting graphic novels from the library. They have a nice selection but not huge. That sort of forces me to get titles I ( Read more... )

There really hasn't been much to write about lately. I'm usually working at least sixty hours a week, so free time to do anything interesting or fun has really been lacking. However, I was able to get out to go to a Cubs game on the 6th. That was a lot of fun. Laura and I took the train into Chicago and met up with my mom, my sister, and my ( Read more... )

I've been an employee for Wal-Mart for almost a month now. At first they had me on weekends only but now they've been scheduling me for about three nights during weekdays as well. So in addition to the hours I've been putting for my video job, I've been putting in about 68 hours of work for week. I'm surviving so far, but I don't know how long I ( Read more... )

Working a full day at Walmart hurts my feet more than a single game day of marching band. I was definitely not expecting that. But at least I'm getting some money out of it. I have no idea how long I'll keep that job. Maybe until I pay off my credit card debt. Maybe I'll stay until I move to California and have a job I can transfer until my ( Read more... )

I had my third and final interview at Walmart today. They had pretty much decided to hire me before I got there. It was pretty much me accepting the position offered and setting up my background check and drug test. I'll get that done tomorrow and then I'll have to have my orientation set up ( Read more... )
