Still playing Regina Spektor on repeat. She’s musically delicious ( Read more... )

I had a fantastic trip home. Well, the first day was a little hectic and overwhelming, but as soon as I walked into my own house, I was so glad to be home. It’s weird how being home can let me relax and let me let go of a lot of the stress and worry that I’ve been holding onto. I kind of wish I could have stayed longer, but alas, the real world ( Read more... )

Apparently, Sarah Palin is going to appear on SNL tonight to do a Palin/Dubya sketch with host Josh Brolin. Must watch this post-UFC ( Read more... )

In response to my crappy mood as of the last couple of days, Amy made a "Relaxo-Therapy" mix CD. I don't know why it has so thoroughly restored my positive outlook on life, but it has and I'm certainly not going to argue about it. I think it's extremely funny that the CD opens with "Your Hand in Mine (with Strings)" by Explosions of Sound: that's ( Read more... )

After realizing that my depression issues were going to be way beyond my control, even with the help of great supportive friends, I got some medical help and I'm now on medication and seeing a regular psychologist and psychiatrist.

I got home and was so tired from a long, tedious day at the office on not a lot of sleep, as per usual. Casey had graciously made dinner, which was delicious, but for whatever reason I had a food-and-beverage-flinging spree ( Read more... )

I had one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. And not just because of what I did, but largely because of what I didn't do. But enough vagueries, let's recap!

Friday night's show played to an almost empty house, but it made me want to go out there and be totally outrageous for no one's sake but mine. It was a good lesson, and a good ( Read more... )

I shouldn't be anywhere but St. Louis at this point in my life. It's been wonderfully clear to me this week.

Where did I leave off? Wednesday? I think so. So THURSDAY! AH! The fun that ensued! Not at work, though it was a remarkably productive day for me. I basically got handed the entired newsletter and Shannon just said, "Write whatever you want! ( Read more... )
