Trying to get a routine

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004

Hi all. Still trying to establish a new routine now that I’m adjusting to the move. It will be easier once I have a formal job of some kind. With any luck, I’ll know about that by this time tomorrow (after interviews). Things are going well at the house so far. Yesterday, I took my [...]

Moving – the saga

Sunday, September 26th, 2004

Hi everyone! I made it in one piece. So, Thursday night, I decided to be manly and butch – so I packed everything into the truck by myself. I had people coming over Friday morning to help with the heavy stuff – didn’t need them. Yeah, stupid me. So Friday morning, I wake up with [...]

Quick Entry

Thursday, September 23rd, 2004

Last day in Vegas! Some quick thoughts… Smallville was worth it last night just for the gratuitous nudity. Mmm… Tom Welling’s butt… The trailer for towing my van behind the rental truck says “Maximum Speed 45 mph” – which means a very slow trip to Salt Lake tomorrow. I didn’t get the manager position with [...]

The Music of my Life

It’s photo time!

Monday, September 20th, 2004

Pictures from the Generic Black & White Party Rod, who I alternate between feeling big brotherly toward and just crushing on; Luanne, the lesbian mother of our office (she has six kids from years of being married); and me. Best friend #1 (and my fag hag – a term she embraces) Michelle; me; Michelle’s new [...]

Questions

Monday, September 20th, 2004

Okay, two questions for the day. 1. I’m putting together a mix CD of songs for the drive up to Utah with theme music. I’ve already picked Cheryl Crow’s “Leaving Las Vegas” and “Defying Gravity” from Wicked and a couple other random moving appropriate songs (Tom Petty “Time to Move On” and John Denver “Take [...]

Fudge

Monday, September 20th, 2004

Um. Hi. I know that it isn’t going to be terribly obvious to all one of my LJ friends that I’ve made a major life change and I’m moving in less that a week (except for the fact that I talk about it constantly), but tonight was my going away party and I’m having the [...]

What a day!

Sunday, September 19th, 2004

Today has felt like the day that never ends (and here I am at 2 a.m. writing in LJ instead of going to sleep like a sane person). Spent the first eight hours packing my wardrobe and bathroom stuff – I own too much in both categories. Then, we had the Generic Black & White [...]

Saturday, September 18th, 2004

Well, my last weekend in Vegas is off to a good start. I’m trying to find a nice mix between party mode and responsible get-ready-to-move mode. Tonight was good. I reserved my moving truck and had sex. That was suprisingly important to me because this time next week I’ll be in a room directly above [...]

My Vegas (the End Days)

Friday, September 17th, 2004

This is an essay I’ve taken stabs at writing before. Since I’ve only got one week (to the day) before I move, I thought I’d revisit the idea while it’s fresh in my head. [preamble] But before I do, the reason I feel so compelled to write this is probably a result of my University [...]
