Life has been fun in the new apartment. I'm close to work, close to the gym, close to my family.
While I loved my experience in west hollywood (amy represent!), I also enjoy the space and the energy that comes with a larger apartment and more roommates.
While I feel like I've bonded with 3 of my roommates. (we've eaten together, gone to soundwalk, had brunch, watched tv together. its gonna be fun, even when we are all working)
There are two other room mates (yes, I have 5 fucking roommates!) that I have not really bonded with yet. This may be attributed to the fact that those two have been out of town, thus rendering it impossible for me to bond with them yet. and i'm sure we will get along tremendously. sigh, Sadly, and this is really vain and pathetic, I have a feeling that I won't become "like, bestest best friends! yea!!" based on what I have seen on their IPOD.

fuck. thats horrible. what kind of vain, judgmental person am I? Does it really matter? i'm not going to answer that

i'm sure that beneath their ______ taste in music, there is some great personality. In fact, i'm sure I'll get along quite well with them. but, sometimes, I gotta cringe.

this is horrible. my music taste is just that. taste. my biased opinion. fuck. i'm horrible.

i'm gonna go lesson plan for the kiddos. don't even get me started on what they listen to.  ¶ 8/23/2005 08:37:00 PM 3 comments

 
so, I really hate Hummers. H2's etc. can you imagine the delight I had when I found the website FUCK H2's

its basically a huge cache of people giving the middle finger to hummers. classic. I've seen two in the last two days, taking up huge spots in the parking lot. yesterday, after seeing a movie, this bastard in a yellow h2 (happened to be wearing a matching fleece jacket) parked near me. I'm so glad I had my camera phone on me. so, go, check out the aforementioned website. bring your camera with you. if you see a hummer, give it the finger and add to the collection. your grandma will thank you.   ¶ 8/17/2005 08:30:00 AM 2 comments

  my new room is a mess. well, half a mess. while one half is the picture of organization and thoughtful planning, the other half of the room looks like the aftermath of hurricane "whatever-the-name-of-the-moment".

This setting is basically a physical manifestation/representation of my mind.
yes, i've been on vacation for the whole month of july, but driving for 2/3 of the month does not exactly translate into relaxation time.
as soon as I got back to LA, it was time to pack up and move my apartment. go figure. then no more than a week passes, and I'm back in KC for another wedding.
finances are a bit tight, and I've gotta make some money. tomorrow I walk into the labor ready office, ready to use my constantly dwindling physical abilites to make a few bucks. It may be real nice to sweat a bit and work with people who aren't in the education field. Unless they are teachers who poorly manage their finances. I'm hopeful.

i sit here drinking a beer, trying to relax. for at least a few moments. I still have tons of shit in storage that I need to move out by the end of the month. Buy back days start the 30th. I need some time to make money, relax, and plan for next year. I don't think i'm the only one in this boat.

If you want to read my "what I did for summer vacation" essay, wait a bit longer. That will come up soon, even more pictures. perhaps even video!  ¶ 8/14/2005 10:16:00 PM 0 comments
