Something wicked clever shuold go here
My abbreviated work week is over. This is a good thing, but not nearly as good as the reason it was abbreviated. I got to add another state that I've never been to when I went with Assassination City's travel team to Taos, New Mexico. I can't help but rave over the weather there. While I was there, the highs were struggling to get past 80ºF and in ( Read more... ) -
With two D's, for a double dose of my pimping
I've been lazy. I know, I know. Derby's been fun, and so have the afterparties. I'm definitely becoming part of the league and not just with people attached to the league. The past two bouts, I've not had to buy my beers thanks to one of the fans. And better yet, his girlfriend is going to volunteer to be a non-skating official. After putting ( Read more... ) -
Well, I guess you'll just have to go wake him up, now won't you?
So I've been running pretty raggèd, what with the moving, particularly last week. Wednesday, all my books made it in a single trip of 18 boxes. That was not my idea of a good time, believe you me. The kitchen stuff came next, and then my clothes and DVDs and then my futon mattress. There's still a lot of stuff, but most of it I'm packing, but ( Read more... ) -
Wheaton's Law: Don't Be a Dick
Alas, the First of May has come and gone and little has changed. Been doing a bit less of roller skating, but that's mostly due to training days and Interskate re-surfacing. I move starting next week and I've done a whole lot of nothing so far. I hate moving so bad. Really.
This past week was brutal, but not necessarily bad. Thursday and Friday gave ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I've been getting less sleep than I used to. I'm being kept busy, and this is a good thing. Even on my days working, my afternoons are being filled with stuff. Saturday night was the Assassination City bout against Memphis Roller Derby. That was, err, interesting. We got off to an early lead because of a lack of strategy on the part of the Memphis ( Read more... ) -
No, I've got instincts of my own
Given the comments on my last post, apparently I've changed for the better, seemingly thanks to derby. I wasn't trolling for comments or encouragement, honest. Well, at least regarding that part. I am still wicked curious over what the hell it is with vendors assuming that I'm the significant other of my female friends whenever I'm at Renaissance ( Read more... ) -
All work and all play makes Phal a tired boy
I have had one hell of a busy week as of late and it's been all good.
A few weeks ago, I helped my friend oddgardner move into her new house and met one of her friends, Farrah, who was also helping her move. We got along pretty well, mostly because we're both pretty big social media whores and because she's really wanting to get into roller derby. This past ( Read more... ) -
Just words and a tune
Here I sit in Cafe Brazil, letting my meal digest before I leave and head for bed.
Shock of shocks, I actually got overtime last night! I could do with that more often, provided it's covering for a night shift opening. Overtime for the day shift bites because they always call you minutes before you're supposed to be there, so I've typically just ( Read more... ) -
Fitting tuneage, n'est-ce pas?
Apparently my boss has had some sort of windfall as of late, because he's not been a complete dick for the past couple weeks. Not only was my vacation time in July approved, but I actually am being allowed to go to water laboratory training next week. Of course, I'm going on my own time and I'm not getting paid OT for it, but I'm more concerned ( Read more... ) -
I'm ironically hip in some flip universe
This weekend is All-Con. I didn't get a hotel room as is typical of conventions. I'm fine with that. I get to save some money for Taos. Yep. I got the time off approved. This is why I like scheduling my time off so far in advance. It gets approved before anything comes up to get it denied. Unfortunately, concerts are only scheduled a couple months ( Read more... )
