after becoming used to 10-12 hour serving shifts(and not being super tired afterwards), i finally get a baby gleam of hope in the form of a biomedical lab tech position that has sweet pay and (extra) sweet benefits; aka having health benefits at all. oddly enough, going to the health department for all my needs(mostly lady-involved) the last year ( Read more... )

life's been nice to me lately. i don't have very much money and have to watch what i spend, but for the first time i'm keeping a firm(ish) hand on my expenses. i'm being productive. i do yoga in the mornings before work to make myself less tightly wound. it seems to be working; i don't get upset by circumstances i can't change as much. tres stoic.

the last 2 weeks have involved train hopping, throwing objects off the roof of a building, throwing empty beer cans at a punk rock show, sliding down wet golf course slopes on a kneeboard, and whiskey. pretty wicked!!!
on a lamer note, i met a rad dude and he flaked out on me. i think it's a curse.

so what i was worried about ended up happening on this tampa trip: my sister is cra-cra-crazy and doesn't like leaving the house. i'm stuck not leaving the house. sis, her hubby, a few friends, and i sit at the house all day drinking beer and watching movies. i don't particularly mind it for a day but three days is pushing it. we went to a really ( Read more... )

i finished Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut yesterday. super funny. one of my fav funnies from the book was in reference to the use of "fuck" in literature during his writing days. it lead to the joke,"don't say fuck in front of the B-A-B-Y." gawd. it was set around a timequake which is a period of ten years when the universe shrank in upon itself and ( Read more... )
