My mom has been having some health problems lately, and a few weeks ago went in to the doctor's to get tested for varous illnesses. The results came back today, and show that she has lymphoma. 
Fortunately, it's the B type lymphoma, which is highly treatable as well as potentially curable, but it still sucks... Fortunately, she works in a doctor's office and is pretty...

So I finally got a job! My friend hooked me up with a job at a warranty outsourcing place... basically I sit at a computer for eight hours a day and occasioanlly answer the phone. Apparently this is the dead season; the holidays are when we get thousands of calls a day. The salary is decent, but I only get paid once a month...

Welcome, welcome, welcome...another card carrying member of the ergonomic chair attack team. Watch! right before your eyes as upper body strength deminishes, back pain rises and anxiety and restlessness shoot straight through the roof.
Seriously though
Congrats. No matter how shitty the day gets you can always remember that at least you are not standing on your feet for an eight hour shift 
. If you get board on Thurdays and Friday afternoons you should give my cell phone a ring whilst I'm at work and we can compare who's ass is more asleep...tip: if you intentionally sit on your wallet at the right angle for long enough not only will your whole leg fall asleep but your lower spine will as well!!!

New job.....Can you IM from your computer..that might perk things up 
I suppose I'll update this thing now. It's been a really busy week or so. The biggest even over the weekend was my longtime friend Georgia's wedding. She walked down the aisle to string versions of Radiohead songs since she's a pretty obsessive fan of theirs, and they had their first dance as a couple to Where is My Mind by The Pixies. How rad...

This weekend finds yet another one of my best friends getting married. First, my best friend Dave got married last year, and now my friend Georgia will tie the knot. This makes me feel
1.)that I'm not really getting anywhere in my own life relationship-wise (I haven't met anyone who even comes close to being that "special someone", and since I'm single now, who knows...

I did see the show, and they were really good. Turns out my friends Michelle and Autumn are pals with Lisa, the singer/bassist so we hung out after the show. Those kids are really nice and down to earth. Lisa said they are headed back to LA to finish up the new LP. We listened to some of it and it's really good. Cant believe a havn't really heard much of their music. LISA IS SEXY AS HELL. Guess i missed you though. Too bad, we'll have to hang out sometime, it's always good meating new faces. Im going to Denver on Sunday but I'll try to connect with you when I get back. have fun this weekend

Well, if the broad is going to be symbolizing our liberty, she might as well have a hot ass. Right? Right, guys?
(Maybe in our next rendition she can be wearing hot pants and a midriff tee.)

So I was supposed to be hooked up to the internet by now. But no. said SBC Internet Services. That would be too easy. Instead, why don't we tell Phil that his service has been cancelled? Then, the next day, we'll tell him it's not, then put him on hold for 90 minutes (using up a third of his monthly anytime minutes in the process)...

I was just reading the little article thingy in the Guardian about My Favorite not 20 minutes before I logged on and read your journal 
And venues! Yeah, I don't know where places like the Fillmore get off saying "intimate". I think it must fit one of these three catagories to be able to wear the badge of intimate:
A) You can actually touch the ceiling (bonus points it someone can actually get there arm smacked with a ceiling fan when dancing) ...
B) The stage is so low and small that you basically just can see the bands heads bobbing and the occasional guitar neck...
C) My personal fave - The room is so small and poorly ventalated that you can feel yourself breathing in others sweat and you don't get out without catching at least two airborn viruses

Back on the internet again. I should be getting my house hooked up the web tomorrow, if all goes well.
I ended up not going to Los Angeles last weekend, because my friend's granmother passed away the day before we were supposed to leave.
What's weird is that we were talking about her grandmother quite extensively just the day before.

Ughh, I'm cringing at the fact that I am adding to my atrocious 5x multi post but wanted to say it was cool meeting you and that I'm always down (money permitting ) to go check out a show.

I'm still obsessing over the excellence of the new Rilo Kiley cd. It's mellower than their older stuff, but man is it good. Anyway, nothing much has happened recently. I'm still looking for a job, but fortunately my cd-selling pseudo-business on eBay has provided me with enough money in the past few weeks for this month's rent and more!

Dammit. I haven't picked up the new Rilo Kiley yet. And fucking hell: the next time you decide to up and come to LA, you should let a girl know.
Have fun at the Moving Units!

Another week, another single visit to the internet.
Last night is really all I need to talk about. I had been mourning my lack of tickets to Rilo Kiley's Bottom of the Hill show for weeks, but decided to try to buy tickets at the door anyway. Apparently they were releasing an extremely limited number of tickets at 8:30. I got there at 6:15, and...

Sweeeeeeeet! I'm going to look up Rilo Kiley right now!
Yay, I have access to a computer for a day! I guess it is kinda cool to to get to a computer after a week and have a week's worth of new photosets to look at. 
I've been keeping busy with shows and friends, while my savings have been depleting with each passing day.
