Well, 90 Degree Back In Parking is the goddamn devil, but I THINK I'm getting the hang out of. I was doing a pretty badass job today while practicing in Como Park. My Dad is a much better teacher than Erik, that's for sure. And I just keep telling myself 'just don't hit the cones and you'll be okay'. I set up an appointment to take the test. ( Read more... )

Fall is coming. I can't wait, I seriously CANNOT WAIT. It's my favorite season, and October is my favorite month, so I'm really hoping that it's a good one this year. What do I love about Fall ( Read more... )

~ Okay, all the more incentive to get my driver's license: Since Julia is moving to NYC, she's leaving her car behind. What kind of car is it? A MOTHER FUCKING AUDI. WHOOOAAAAA!!! (this kind of really shows how spoiled she is). I'm not big on cars as status symbols, mind you, but if there is going to be a third car lying around my parent's house, I ( Read more... )

So Tut had it's last day yesterday. It was surreal and it still hasn't quite hit me yet. However, one thing that DID make it kind of real was the schedule for Tut security went up. That's right, hookers, I'm gonna be doing that again! Tomorrow from noon to six, and then Saturday from 7:45 to 6:15. And guess who I saw last night, even if it was ( Read more... )

~ First and foremost, it was my final shift as a Tut Team Lead today. I'm both happy and a bit sad. This isn't like Dead Sea Scrolls, where I was so exceedingly stoked for the exhibit to be over, but it isn't like Titanic, where I was actively sad that it was. Though, I did get irritated when a woman was yelling at one of my VAs because, and i ( Read more... )

... but this kind of mentality is basically how Laramie and myself spent the evening at the museum. He had a bad day. I had a long (though not particularly bad) day. He didn't get a promotion he wanted, I was informed that one of my job prospects wouldn't get to my resume for about three to four weeks. And this is what we were both thinking:

Hooray! I'm nearly done with my update!!! It went a lot quicker this time because 1) I stayed up uber late the other night, and 2) I haven't had as much work as of late! SO, it will probably be up tomorrow after work. Oh that's right, I don't work tomorrow night. YES! This means that I am going to my parents for dinner because Julia's in town ( Read more... )

- Tweak resume.
- Do laundry for cabin trip.

Yesterday was a good day of Anniversary celebrations. Erik and I drove out to Stillwater for the afternoon, having a beer at the German restaurant out there, and then walked around the town a bit. If we'd had more than just a day I would have liked to go further, like Duluth, but eh, Stillwater is still good. We came back to the Cities with cake, ( Read more... )

First of all, I am utterly horrified and disgusted by what happened in Norway on Friday. I was so out of the news loop practically all day on Friday I didn't know just how awful it was, and as more and more information comes out the more revolted I am by it all. At times like this I really don't understand people. And honestly, my faith in our ( Read more... )
