Sometimes I get really bored at work and need something to do. When I get bored at work I usually do one of three things:
1) Check my email
2) Check facebook
3) Obsessively browse ebay
The bottom line is, I need a new hobby, because my current ones are pretty lame. Tonight I'm stuck at work til 11-something PM because of a late show that I'm producing, and I'm already pretty much out of things to do, which sucks because it's only 3:12PM right now.
I don't really know what I'm going to blog about. Maybe the weather, maybe my hatred of fat people, maybe music or art or photography. Who knows. But I think this is a good time to start up the good ol' blog again. And I'm going to email all my friends to let them know that I've started resumed my blogging, because that way maybe I'll feel some sort of pressure to actually write if I know someone is reading my stuff.
So yeah.
Right now I'm in the process of apartment hunting. I hate apartment hunting. I just want to find a place to live already and call it quits. Tomorrow at 9am I'm looking at one place, and this weekend Jeremie and I are going to drive around and see what we can find, but I really have no aim or purpose in this search other than to find something cheap that isn't dingy or in Allison Hill. And I need to find it by the end of the month. It would be really nice if this place I look at tomorrow is adequate and I can just say "I'll take it" and be done with the whole thing. But I'm not sure if things will work out that simply, because it doesn't seem like simplicity has been a trait of my life as of late.
It's been months and months since I've written an entry here, but tonight I'm in the mood to write something so here is my current internal monologue, in numbered list format, which is a personal favorite of mine.
1. I have a really great boyfriend.
2. I'm sick and I don't want to be.
3. There is this one KFC commercial that royally annoys me.
4. I still need to do my taxes.
5. I'm watching wrestling as I'm typing this and I hate JBL.
6. I'm voting for Obama.
7. When I'm sick, I have the weirdest dreams. Like yesterday when I was napping and I had this dream where I had to go back to college and take a course in Spelling because I had somehow forgotten to attend it while I was a student and they had retroactively taken my diploma away because of it.
8. I am addicted to lolcats.
For years I've had this...problem...where I've never been able to get into Jimmy Eat World's album Clarity. I've listened to it during good times, bad times, indifferent times, you name it, but it's never had any relevance to me. Until now. I was talking to a coworker and he mentioned listening to it while driving. So I did.
And O-M-Fucking-G, it suddenly all made sense.
So yeah, after all these years, I've finally discovered the secret to Clarity. I have to listen to it while driving through a city at night. Daytime doesn't work, backroads don't work, it has to be a city at night. But hot damn, it's fucking awesome if I listen to it then.
See, I have this thing about cities at night. I think there's something very poetic and almost magical about them; something I can't really put into words. But somehow this album embodies those feelings for me, and I kinda love it.
A word to the wise.
If you are a slow-moving oversized vehicle towing some bizarre piece of farm equipment behind you, it's usually not a good idea to drive in the left lane of a highway.
It's also usually not a good idea to come to a complete standstill while rubbernecking to check out an accident on the opposite side of a highway that in no way, shape, or form affects you, but does manage to effectively tie up all traffic waiting patiently behind you for the next twenty minutes.
I'm not bitter. Not bitter at all.
Some coworkers and I are starting a band, and we have a show at Conewago Coffee on October 26th. We'll prolly play in Harrisburg a few times before that, but if you are interested in the Conewago event, let me know and I'll give you all the juicy details.
So I've decided to start a regular feature on my blog called the Idiot Driver Report. In this feature, I shall vent and describe in detail the exploits of some of the stupid people I've encountered on the road in recent days.
In this, the first installment, I shall focus on a certain car that was in front of me on Sunday afternoon while I was driving to Etown to have Chinese with Steph.
This particular vehicle was driving along merrily when suddenly out of nowhere the man started braking, then put on his left turn signal, chugged along for a few feet until he passed what was the only left turnoff for at least another mile, then proceeded to wildly swerve over to the right side of the road, with his left signal still on, and park there, where he remained, left turn signal still flashing, until I could no longer see him.
Can you say "moron much"?
So Jimmy Eat World is coming out with a new album in October. This is exciting for me because I'm permanently in love with the band. Ironically, the first single from the album is called Big Casino, which is funny because Go Big Casino was the name of one of Jimmy Eat World's early incarnations. Tee hee!
Whenever I work Mix remotes, I give out stickers to all the kids. What never ceases to amaze me about this is the fact that the kids never seem to know what to do with them. I hand out the stickers and the kids just kind of look at them, shoot me vacant stares, and shift them from hand to hand. I mean, seriously, is it really THAT difficult to figure out that if I give you a sticker you're supposed to put it on your shirt or something?
Obviously it is, because recently I've taken to actually telling the kids what to do with the stickers when I hand them out.
What is our world coming to, seriously?
So I've decided to start blogging again. I'm sitting here at my computer after a day of virtually nonstop activity and no sleep, watching Dodgeball and going to bed the second it's over.
I've had quite some interesting adventures today, beginning at 4am...but more on them in my next post, when I'm a bit more lucid.
Oh man, I've been spacing out all day from sheer exhaustion, walking around in circles and constantly forgetting what I'm doing. But it was all worth it.
Peace out, til next time.
Right now I'm supposed to be working on it and I'm not.
