Daylight Wasting Time

I used to like Daylight Savings Time. It was like this mini-holiday at the end of October, a little addition to the sweetness of Halloween. The extra hour of sleep the first day made you feel good because you got the extra sleep without having to sleep in. It’s easier to get [...]

… And Two Recipes

Due to the absence of heat I’ve been hanging out in the kitchen because, as it turns out, there are multiple sources of heat in kitchens. I made up the following two recipes this weekend. Creative? No. Delicious? Oh yes.
1. Cocoa with rum.

2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
2 TBSP sugar
1 mug milk (I used soy milk, [...]

Two Thoughts

1. My furnace is broken for the second time in a week. I came home on Friday to a rather cool apartment and promptly called my landlord, who said it wouldn’t be fixed until Monday. I’m not sure what the actual temperature is in here because the thermometer on the thermostat is buried at 50. [...]

Order Restored

I usually consider myself to be a fairly organized person. Okay, I will admit there are one too many dust bunnies in my apartment, but for the most part, the place usually looks very presentable. However, I go through phases where nothing related to cleaning gets done. At all.
Clothes are [...]

Thoughts About Jobs

Yeah, yeah, so I’m obsessing a little bit about jobs lately. If recent posts aren’t evidence enough, I’ll let you all know that things on the job front are not exactly satisfactory. No detail is needed at this point, I’m sure someday you’ll get the whole story, but for now, all you need to know [...]

The Weekend: Super Writing Extravaganza

I’m back in the 5400 after a weekend in Laramie with Kathryn, Abbey, Dan, Jenn, Phil, Chris, Heather, the badgers, other old friends, and the god of Interstate travel.
It rained most of Friday, and knowing that I had to drive through 3 hours of weather to Laramie put me in an anxious mood. By the [...]

*sigh*

With another busy, stressful workweek and another wonderful weekend behind me, I am trying to do my best and live up to my blogging word. I still feel exhausted, still swamped at work, and still struggling to find the motivation to do my job to the best of my abilities. I realize my [...]

Oy

This weekend, my mom and Abbey came down to visit. This was, of course, a ton of fun. I got free Avs ticket through work for Saturday’s game, so between hockey, Snooze, and the Botanic Gardens Pumpkin Festival, it was another great weekend. Well, except for when I forgot my apartment keys [...]

I Know, I Know

I haven’t updated for a while. Kathryn and I had a great weekend last week, and this weekend I’ll be busy doing work at home. “Homework,” one might call it.
As for last weekend, here’s one true story of many:
Kathryn and I went to a Grateful Dead bar in a section of Colfax Ave. that reminded [...]

Secondly, A Recap

Alright, folks, it seems I’m back in a blogging mood. For tonight at least. Here’s a quick little rundown of the last week or so:

As previously mentioned, my little car needed some major front end work done to it. After dropping her off Monday morning, I got her back this morning all [...]
