Yeah, I guess you could say it was me who gave her her start!

Its odd keeping up with this regularly since I don’t tend to end up with huge things to talk about anymore. Not a bad thing but it is a little different then in years past where I would go months without updating and end up with huge gaps to cover. Even more different then further back where I was updating every few days with lots of minor stuff. So its a new phase of idoru for me to adjust to if I keep this pattern up.

Tuesday I went out for wings with an old friend, always a great time. We spent more time talking then eating actually and it was frankly a great time considering we hadn’t seen each other in months. In theory we are going to get together again before the holiday’s but I am not entirely sure that will happen. Might, might not I suppose.

The reason that might not happen is because I am working way way too much. I am getting paid for it which is killer, in fact the pay is rather good, but its still just a pain in the ass to be putting in 60+ hour weeks.

So Thursday was thanksgiving, I ended up working an 8 hour shift that day and by the time I got out there was nowhere open where I could get food, not even a grocery store. So I did what any reasonable person would do and went up the street to the bar. Ran into some friends and ended up spending a few hours and a few beers hanging out there before coming home to crash out. Friday evening I went out to the muddy pig, hung out with a buddy and met some new people who were pretty cool. Plus that place has such a great selection of beers that I almost never turn down a chance to go there.

Saturday I went out to Sandy’s and loved every minute of it before I left. Today I slept in and took care of things around the house in the morning before going shopping this afternoon. Amazingly enough there are no shoes that I can find that I like… I just need a new pair of shoes for work and a pair for everything else goddamn it. All well, I will just keep looking and eventually solve that problem one way or another. While I was out shopping for shoes and other things I got a phone call from an old old friend. Amazing how much I can talk about while I wander around Marshall’s. Great to catch up with her.

Speaking to her made me realize I really need to start planning out the true vacations, as in leave the midwest vacations, that I want to take in 2009. The within the midwest I can just sort of do whenever so that’s a little less urgent planning wise. However looking at the places that I want to go, well its interesting I guess. If I can pull it off then I will be impressed. Then again, as has been said: “You know what the Midwest is? Young & Restless” So its a possibility.

Work, as I previously mentioned, is nuts right now. This is actually the busiest busy season that I have seen in the 4 years I have been doing this job. Its a combination of things that has made it this way and I can see solutions to some of the issues. Its really interesting to see things playing out that I as predicting. Not entirely sure that its a good thing but it does reinforce my desire to find a new job which has so far been fruitless. But I am sure that the time will come that I manage to succeed in one way or another.

In site news I have gone ahead and renewed the domain. Doubt I will regret it because I can afford to drop the $20 right now. Speaking of money, its amazing to not have to pay a single bill before January 1st. I am sure that I will go ahead and pay my bills as they come in, same as always but its pretty awesome to realize that if I wanted to I wouldn’t have to spend any money outside of gas between now and then. Not that it would happen in a million years.I am also working on my little project for the site that should be posted around the new year which coincides with times in my past that i undertook this project. Been about 5 years since I have done it though.

So when I am not working or going to the bars what else have I been up to? Not a whole lot. Reading, video games, the normal but mostly I just veg out when I get home and do very little between work and sleep. Nothing really of note going on at the moment which is intentional, although I am making sure to continue doing all of the things I enjoy on a regular enough basis. Still trying to decide whether I want to install ubuntu on my laptop as well as whether I even use the thing enough to make it worth it to mess around with it at all. If i decide that I want to start using it regularly then I will most likely switch it over to linux of some flavor or another.

And I think that’s about all that I care to say at the moment.
