hello, strange world of the internet.

so. much. has. happened.

i moved into a smaller apartment in a cooler part of town, and therefore my rent is roughly 120% of my old rent. this is okay.

work has been very busy. now we're doing cakes. and by "we" i mean "so far, myself exclusively".

music has been exciting! i got kicked out of the french...

Holy crap! what part of town do you live/I need to stay away from? Hope your cat is not traumatized. If you want to jam with my band we would love to have a keyboard/guitar/backup vox addition - we live in a house with a studio, could benefit your main band as well. Let me know if you're interested in jammin'.

etoille needs to update her blog more.

the boyfriend & i broke up march 16th. since then, things have been getting back to life as normal: work, school, work, school. my alcohol tolerance is increasing due to a new (highly alcoholic) friend. and yes, simply a friend.

april seems to be the month of birthdays. this means that last week, i made the most fabulous...

Congratulations on finishing school. So many folks allow themselves to get side-tracked by various and sundry problems - it's a major accomplishment to finish what you started. You kicked my ass - took me a full five years. wink

Those cakes sound awesome - we need pictures!

Congrats on the almost graduating. Did you ever decide on a grad school?

i'm such a liar.

so things with the new boy have started to go not-so-well. who knows why. there was some talk about me shooting another set, and then there was more talk (ok, so more like yelling) about it -- apparently my having been an sg before our relationship is irrelevant, and now i shouldn't be one anymore. this seems a tad possessive to...

happy valentine's day.

being a pastry chef, it's a busy time in the bakery. this is not exactly the most fun time of year for me, but i'm quite excited to have today off (even though it meant working my ass off for the past several days) so that i can make a delicious mexican feast for the apple of my eye.

Don't they say the way to a person's heart is through mexican food? love

hello friends,

if any of you will be in the austin, tx area next tuesday (january 15th), you should come check out my band (www.myspace.com/thisiscellardoor)! we just added a cello, and it is looking pretty fabulous.

will update soon with news from my trip to new york (i leave wednesday!!!)
78walk:
Won't be able to make this show, but I will hopefully be heading down that way for SXSW.

Struck Dumb sounds really good. smile
zamuzel:
Yay! That sounds like great news for the band smile
Can't wait for a new update smile Hope you enjoy New York

i'm the worst about updating. so here's a quick run-down:

i magically became single again. get this: i got dumped because i was planning on leaving for grad school in the fall. now, for completely academic reasons, i decided to defer my applications for a year, meaning that i'm not leaving. somehow, i am still the mayor of dumpsville.

my thesis presentation & defense went...

dragonflower:
hey, when's your next show in austin, huh?! saw you at beerland and had a blast, and now that you've added some members, i wanna check out the new sound.
congratulations on your thesis, but sorry to hear about you new position as mayor. frown
stella can help with that. tongue

the results are in:

560 verbal
750 math
5.0 analytical writing

that's better grades than 75% of GRE test-takers! i am awesome!

then again, i'm taking it again december 11th to try to get my verbal score up more.

so, in short, save up all of your million-dollar-words and telepathically send them to me on that day.

kthnx.

school is driving me just about batty these days.

aside from the science test i had on monday (just imagine me sitting with a science book for ten hours saying over and over "what the fuck?! i hate science."), i've had an academically busy week.

that means four papers, that stupid test, and oh, did i mention?

i'm taking the GRE next wednesday. it's daunting...
