I haven’t blogged here in a while. I’m sitting here as Swedish Girl is watching ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ so I’m trying to occupy my time. While checking my email, she asked me if I was blogging, but I said no. I lost my momentum, my rhythm, and my muse. But there is no better way to get it back than to just keep pounding it out and so here I go. I’ll get back on that horse with some random thoughts…
…I had a great time up in Montreal for LTJ’s bachelor party. Almost too good…
…Seriously, it was a blast. Wow…
…I’m feeling anxious and antsy right now. Not sure why, but I just have an uneasy feeling…
…Just turned 31 and that sucks. Maybe that is the reason for the anxiety…
…Just 2 more months until LTJ’s and MP’s wedding. Very cool. Looking forward to it…
…A crew of workmen stormed my building this morning at 6am to begin installing new hallway carpeting. Very loud, very uncool. It’s after 8:30pm and the second shift is still here…
…Wondering if Captain Larby or Matty Ballgame or Miss Possible will ever grace The Diatribe with their presence again. I miss their slant on life…
…Almost immediately after the LTJ-MP nuptials, Swedish Girl and I are heading for Lithuania. Maybe that is a cause of this anxiety I’m feeling. Afterall, the dollar is growing weaker by the day to the lita, and I haven’t learned conversational Lithuanian like I told myself I would…
…My sister (and her husband) never sent me a birthday card last week. I’m not an attention whore, but this bothered me. She texted and emailed me, but that doesn’t count. Not among family. Friends, yes, but not family. You still have to mail a card, 2008 or not…
…Things I collect: rooster figurines, shot glasses of the world, and refrigerator magnets…
…That tax rebate check can’t get here fast enough. File it under the category of ‘spent before it arrives’…
…I’m very much looking forward to the new ‘Indiana Jones’ movie. The original 1980s trilogy was always one of my favorites, especially ‘Raiders’ and ‘Temple’…
…Time to put this post to bed, crack open a beer, and hope the momentum takes hold…
Very strange.. According to your “Articles Post” back in March, the carpet was to be ripped up and replaced within the week (or within a week, whichever way it was intended to read).
What happened? I hope these guys aren’t getting paid hourly.. if so, you guys are really getting nickle and dimed!
That note wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Instead, the interior was repainted in the weeks following that note, but it took 2 months for the carpeting to get done. Luckily, as a lowly renter, I don’t pay anything for all this tomfoolery.
