Drinking and dancing with co-workers last night. If nothing else it is always an eye opening experience to get drunk with people from work. It was completely awesome to hear how people really feel about work and our supervisors. When you're at work people aren't just going to say, "God, Cindy annoys the shit out of me, she has no idea what she is ( Read more... )

I saw the critter on our sidewalk. It was awesome, but then it ran away.

Getting off early from work makes so many wonderful things possible. I took a lovely little walk around the weird MUD concentration camp park north of Cummings. The really cool fountain was on, but all these screaming kids were playing in it, so I took the long way around. Some guy slowed down just to hit on me, thankfully I was listening to my ( Read more... )

Nice, long weekend. I just wish it wasn't about over. Lawrence was fun. The wedding was cute and sweet and nice, and all the right adjectives that go along with such things. It was good to see people I haven't seen since college, which has been about two years. I went back to the gallery, Becky and Camille were still there. I wasn't sure how ( Read more... )

There were so many truly crazy and amazing animals at the zoo today. Little monkeys grooming each other. Another little monkey biting and licking the paint off of his cage. A male peacock doing a wonderfully choreographed mating dance for a very indifferent female. I've never seen so much butt feather shaking in my life. Most of the animals ( Read more... )

So it's pretty bad when being at work makes you feel like you are back in high school. This morning I was talking with a co-worker about how old people collect heaps of crap in their houses. It was a slow morning so we were just having a friendly conversation, not bothering anybody; when the team leader from the team next to ours came over. She ( Read more... )

I think I'm getting high from the varnish fumes that are wafting up from the bottom floor apartment. Oxygen deprivation is one of the most interesting sensations ever. I'm very happy today, which is rare but very welcome. Nik and I are going to go eat $5 pizzas at Upstream tonight. Looking forward to that I am. Just read my Time magazine. The ( Read more... )

I like HGTV way too much for my own good. Design shows will be the death of me. It's also fairly sad that the most exciting thing that's happened this week is the opening of the new Hy-Vee. It is sweet, especially the Chinese Kitchen ( Read more... )

We saw Hitchhiker's Guide on Sunday. It was amusing and I enjoyed it greatly. Plus I have a new found crush on Martin Freeman. He's so cute in that dorky, awkward way.

Yesterday Nik and I were talking about VH1 and how much it used to suck. Now it's so awesome because all they do is make fun of people. What is better in life than making fun of people? I would have to say not much. It is the one thing that always makes life interesting and entertaining.
