The “Before the End of the Year” Update

December 26th, 2007 · No Comments

I’m slacking, this I know. I’ve been hanging around MySpace a lot, finding old friends and whatnot. Posted a couple of blog entries there, and then wondered why.
This time last year, I did not hate my job as much as I do now. It seems to be a repeated occurrence in my [...]

Something on the Wind

November 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Something’s coming, and I’m thinking it’s a good thing. I feel quiet and electric and super-aware.  Tingly.
Unpacking is going along as expected. One box after another spilling it’s guts out, and me attempting to make sure that things are put in places where they look like they ought to belong. I don’t want to be [...]

Packing and Moving

October 30th, 2007 · No Comments

My friend Eric (blog and LJless. *eyerolls* So behind the times) is over helping me do a whirlwind pack-a-thon.  The movers, one of whom is the son of a fabulous woman I work with — and I work with him too.  He’ll be over later this afternoon and they’ll get all the furniture and whatever [...]

Well, isn’t this a fine mess you’ve got us into?

Ding-dong. That was the sound of our doorbell. Shannon answers the door and there is a man from Century 21 standing there and explains to us both that the bank now owns the property we’re currently renting, and that we should not pay rent to anyone who comes around asking for a check.
We will be [...]

I’ve just finished watching Anthony Hopkins on Inside the Actor’s Studio, and I don’t want to forget a few things that he’d said.. this is as good a place as any to share, hmm?

Stop the world, I wanna get off.

October 10th, 2007 · No Comments

Well, I’m not quite sure how it’s already the tenth of October — time is flying again. Today has been really frustrating, work and home/businessish stuff is pissing me off hugely.
Work is just boring. I’m so tired of being bored and equally tired of complaining of being bored. Probably proportional to the amount of [...]

Welcome, October!

A new month here in East Tennessee brings lovely cool weather, and a clean calendar on my newly organized website. I was looking around in my site’s control panel and decided to try out one of the blogging tools. So far, I think I’m in love with WordPress, and I really enjoy the ease [...]
