Sigh. So I was laid off today, effective May 3. Sure, this sucks, but you know what sucks in an extra bonus way? This is the second position I've been in at this office that has been eliminated. You'd think I would have learned my lesson the first time. Damn nonprofits and their lack of money.

Time to move on, I guess. I hope I...

Eventful evening at Pirate's last night. Aside from the 8 hundred thousand people who showed up, the constant making out between a few of the girls and I think a couple of the guys, the two dudes playing pool who got a huge kick out of it (surprise), and all of the out-of-towners, we had to leave rather suddenly after a pitcher, two pints, and...

Blah. Sick. Bored. Was sick all weekend and did nothing. Called in sick today. Watching movies to combat boredom. Writing in poor grammar to amuse self. Actually shed a single tear while watching "Finding Nemo" for the first time. It just made my nose stuffier.

Iron and Wine tonight. Fuckin' A. We want to meet him. Luckily Sam kinda sticks out in a crowd.

Back...

Wow, Stereolab was tres awesome. The Crystal was much less packed than expected, which I guess isn't too surprising since it was a Wednesday night. Nonetheless, all of you who didn't make it to the show missed out.

Manitoba, a three-piece instrumental type creation, opened. They were led onto the stage by a person in a leopard suit, presumably helping them to see, as all...

I really should change my five favorite girls, because people keep commenting on the fact that they are all sort of redheads. Thinking I have some sort of fetish for my own kind, perhaps? Except that I don't think any of them are actual redheads, which blows that theory out of the water, kids. I dunno, I like reading their journals, and I don't check...

What do you get when you take an as yet somewhat obscure band from Glasgow, the first Monday of spring break in these parts, an unseasonably warm evening, and a few hundred hipsters?

You get my evening seeing Franz Ferdinand, the closest thing to Hot Hot Heat I've heard in quite some time. They have the swagger, they are just missing the fluffy hair. They...

There's nothing like going to Pirate Thursday and seeing a large amount of people, getting pleasantly buzzed (more so than usual, which is saying a lot for me), taking some goofy pictures, and staying out far too late. Work today would have sucked, but luckily, I called in sick.

Hey, I had a headache. That's sort of approaching sick.

I feel so naughty. I hardly...

What a great weekend. In the time since I last updated, I got to meet EnergyChannel's wee one, his 5-year old son Elliot, for the first time. He is possibly the most adorable kid ever, although given my lack of exposure to kids, I did feel a bit out of my element. Overall it went well though.

After Elliot left on Friday, we both had...

You know those people that you meet in life, usually by pure chance, that you just seem to fit with? Like a key to a lock, a hand to a glove, a foot to a mouth. Okay, maybe not so much that last one. I was thinking about these kinds of people on my drive home tonight, thinking how truly amazing it is to have...

I ordered new lenses for my glasses yesterday. I even splurged and got those transition ones that get dark when UV rays hit them. I'm ridiculously excited over the prospect of these, which just seals the deal on my true dork status.

The only problem is they had to take my glasses. Which leaves me wearing only my contacts. Hard contacts. It's not fun to...
