Me not updating in 2 weeks is kind of rare, but it has been that long since my last update. So whats been up the last two weeks? I started working last Monday (the 11th). The short of it is that in August I interviewed with the same company I worked for in Illinois, for the same or similar marketing position. They made an offer, for a wage I was ( Read more... )

Time is seriously flying. I have been in Austin one month as of tomorrow. It does not seem like it has been a month in many ways, but I guess in some ways it does. Life is swell, pretty kuch the same old shit - job hunting and hanging out, shows and movies - thats about it. Arrested Development Season 3 came out on dvd recently, which is amazingly ( Read more... )

I saw Little Miss Sunshine last Sunday and if you havent seen it, you should. It was funny as all hell. Ive mentioned renting a shitload of movies since ive been here and I am kind of killing time right now, so Ill tell about them in pictures, a photblog if you will. Movies Ive rented since being here:

It is nice and cool outside tonight, which is nice, but it sucks to think that the somewhere in the grand scheme of the weather system that these cool winds Austin is enjoying right now are basically the result of a hurricane/tropical storm that is hitting Florida. I dont wish harm upon anyone or any state, but nature is a bitch and if it must be a ( Read more... )

I think I have finally got a good grip on my way around the city. I have scouted many of the locations that I will need to frequent on a regular or necessary basis - bank, grocery, post office, liquor store, restaurants, record stores, comic shop, movie theaters, video rentals - so thats a good feeling. Actually things have settled down for me ( Read more... )

I finally got the internet going at my house so now I am back in the pink like a regular member of society. I haven't really had a lot of time to sit down and go through all my usual sites and email peeps and all that shit yet, but I suppose all in due time ( Read more... )

Life is about to pick up and get super busy, but it is a busy I am ready for. This week has been training a new girl at work (which takes away from my emailing and myspacing on the company dime) and hanging out with peeps (for the last time most likely), and playing poker. Speaking of poker, Im not sure if I mentined this, but last week I played ( Read more... )

I suppose I should have added after the last post that I have never been to New Orleans, but I have been told by a few people that it is totally a "Frank" city. Of course this was all pre hurricane katrina. But at the same time I dont know about the hot-ass, muggy-ass humidy, the rampant crime, or the overall rundown-ness of it that I always ( Read more... )

             There are a lot of places I like, but I like New Orleans better. There’s a thousand different angles at any moment. At anytime you could run into a ritual honoring some vaguely known queen. Bluebloods, titled persons like crazy drunks, lean weakly against the walls and drag themselves through the gutter. Even they seem to have insights ( Read more... )

Weekend is almost here, it only proves that time is closing in around me. Not that it is good or bad, just in general. After this weekend I'll have 19 days until I move - working, packing, and trying to cram in last visits/hangouts/suppers with people. Ive written this blog before. So Ill say something new on the subject - for the first time (ever ( Read more... )
