Got most of the furniture moved in yesterday, and both Brian and I are bloody sore. Aside from that, though, things are great – the apartment is starting to really look like a home, and I really love our bedroom. Plus the shower has actual hot water (the wiring at his mother's house [...]

Today we really started packing and moving in earnest. We haven't really done a whole lot of furniture moving (all the truck places in town were either rented out or closed today), but we've got a truck lined up for tomorrow and hopefully Danél and Donna's help if I can recruit them. At [...]
And just for utter coolness points…

Here's a link to something Brian showed me that literally dropped my jaw. I'm sure almost everyone will recognize the clip – it's a re-rendering of one of the opening sequences of Final Fantasy VII, done on the Playstation 3. Keep in mind that that's supposed to be representative of what in-game, real-time [...]

The nice thing about being really down in the dumps as compared to constant, low-level depression is that it doesn't last. I get really tired of being miserable really quickly. And now that I at least know about that other job (though I wish they'd taken less than a month to tell me), [...]

…didn't get the job.
I wish I could say I'm not upset, but it just wouldn't be true.
I guess anytime something that you've based so much of your future plans around goes belly-up, it's going to hurt.
I know it doesn't mean I'm a bad person, I know I'm still employable, I know it's not the end [...]

About fifteen minutes ago, I realized that there were hunger pangs lancing through my stomach. This was not entirely surprising, since my last meal had been some hours ago and the rest of the day's culinary repast consisted mostly of potato chips and a SlimFast shake. Once the discomfort emanating from my stomach [...]
Well, that was quick.

Just had a call from Olena. First thing she said was “I was looking through your file, and everything so perfect…” Looks like we've got the apartment. We're going over there tomorrow night to sign the lease, which should help our credit score somewhat, and then (woo!) we get to move in [...]
And now for the waiting game…

Interview went well enough, but then, I've never had a bad interview – helps that I'm personable and easy to talk to. I'm not sure exactly when they'll be getting back to me, so I guess I'll just keep checking my email in apprehension that Danél's sent me the “Sorry, we didn't hire you” [...]

–I have an iPod mini. It's the cutest little thing, tiny and lime-green and nearly large enough to hold my whole music collection. Been having all sorts of fun with it at home, in the car, etc…it's so nice to think of an album I'd like to listen to and then just scroll [...]
