On things that distract us...
It's both sucky and awesome that the video game I've been waiting TWO YEARS for was released this week. Awesome because Mass Effect 3 is everything I could have hoped for (so far) - sucky, because this happens to be my moving week. I need to finish unpacking, I need to write more, but all I want to do is sit in front of my TV and go on missions ( Read more... ) -
Wherein Sarah waxes poetical (not really) about, stuff
The move-in is nearly complete, thanks to the buttload of stuff my parents brought down! The Dude shampoo'd the carpets at the Old Box yesterday while my parents and I worked to situate the separate rooms. So far the living room and both bathrooms are set, the kitchen and my bedroom are a mess, and my folks leave today. Bummer, I really enjoyed ( Read more... ) -
Moving isn't so bad (as long as one has help!!)
My mom and dad are down for a few days helping me move my stuff and arrange it around my suddenly expanded place. They also brought down a TON of stuff for me and what had at first seemed like an impossible task of filling my house is suddenly much more plausible. Plus, I have an office (squee ( Read more... ) -
Moving sucks (even when it's to a nice place)
For a long time I was a bit of a gypsy, able to put all my belongings in a car and drive to destinations unknown to set up shop all over again. I liked it that way. I MISS that. But life (or in my case, family) tends to saddle you with junk (albeit nice junk) you now have to Carr around with you, and there comes a time when you give in and get that ( Read more... ) -
It's been an interesting past few months
Life has a way of carrying you off into a glorious sunset, then keeping you on that far horizon long after twilight is over ( Read more... ) -
Hooray for holiday weekends!!!
I LOVE three-day weekends!!! They're like unicorns in my line of work: rarely happen, and a miracle to boot. :D The fact I have this entire weekend off is just awesome, and slightly unnerving. BUT I'll take it!! The Dude is down for the weekend too which is so awesome! Right now he's helping his brother and dad with some car stuff while I do some ( Read more... ) -
Deadlines stink
I'll freely admit it: I've never been good with deadlines. In college I was always the one in the computer lab late at night (granted, with MANY others) typing out the 10-page essay due that morning. It's as if I can't work without pressure and yet when I get to that point my brain fritzes out. (I have to admit, I usually got very good grades on ( Read more... ) -
Days off can be good, despite what we think
Yesterday, tired of focusing on writing, I took the day "off" and read instead. "Quarter Share" by Nathan Lowell, a scifi coming-of-age tale, is exactly what I needed to get my mind off the monotony of my job and onto something so much more awesome! It's not an adventure tale, but one about a young man forced to find his way in the world and signs ( Read more... ) -
Best. Monday. Evar!
I'm finally done squeeing from yesterday and in hindsight it seems so small but ( Read more... ) -
Writing and sleep: never the twain shall meet...
Wow, after being so addicted to Twitter and 140 characters max, blogging suddenly seems so HARD!! ;-p ( Read more... )
