ink_n_impThis post comes to you in Handy, Dandy Bullet Points! Bullet Points: for when you haven't updated in forever, and you don't know where to begin!
* I LOVE MY APARTMENT.
* I want to host some serious hanging out in my apartment. Like, knitting, tea and movies/tv shows sort of things. Anyone interested? 3 blocks from a M/V stop, convenient bus-age for them un-subwayable! Let's talk!
* Talking about knitting, the urge has finally struck me down--I JUST FINISHED PURCHASING the yarn needed to knit...
THE BAKER!DOCTOR WHO SCARF.
I can't even say I find it a particularly ATTRACTIVE scarf, but I've been wanting to knit an obscenely long scarf for a while now, and it is THE Obscenely Long Scarf To End All Long Scarves.
Send help, please.
* Talking about sending help, my consciousness has been COMPLETELY TAKING HOSTAGE BY TOM HARDY. I mean, just just LOOK at this magnificent bastard.
Not fair, sir. Not. Fair.
* Talking about FAIRES, went to the NY Ren Faire. May have to go again closing weekend. I mean, there were attractive ladies swinging swords and preforming abridged Shakespeare. And Nuns. Funny ones. AND I also purchased a new outfit.
My credit card currently HATES. ME.
* Talking about hate, my workplace has been an unhappy place lately. Due to some really, really poor moves on Madame President's part (mainly, not giving credit where it was due, and being obsessed with 1) cutting the budget foolishly and 2) bringing in new part time hires who DON'T know the space like our people do to DO the jobs that OUR people are there to do) people have been quitting. A. Lot. First it was Token!Brit (who left to do producing work on a little Broadway Musical about a man who could be called spiderlike [if you know what I mean], so BULLY HIM!) and then it was one lady in Membership...and today it was ANOTHER lady, who quit EFFECTIVE. IMMEDIATELY.
SCANDALOUS.
Pretty much, my work place-what-looks-like-a-castle is declining a'la Camelot--the golden age was wondrous, but people are leaving because the higher up management is getting worse, and I feel an epic battle and fall is coming.
All I know is that Lady!Boss has been looking for a new position else where...and THAT terrifies me. I feel like I shall be the last knight standing, or Geneveire banished to her nunnery, the last tragic survivor of a glorious era...
Ah well. It still pays me at least.
* In happier news, my BROTHER STARTED CULINARY SCHOOL!!!!....Dear God, may he not drop out. Or get kicked out. *frets*. However, is DOES mean I am obligated to visit him in Providence now. Mwhaha. Mwhahahaha. MWHAHAHHAHAHHA!
* I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea. Tea will make me feel better. Yes. Glorious Tea.

Date: 2010-09-10 05:08 pm (UTC)GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL YOU EVER IN THE CITY? WE NEED TO HANG. OUT.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-10 05:17 pm (UTC)I'll be around tomorrow, actually. I think my friend's bus leaves from Chinatown around 6pm and then I am freeeeee like a bird.
We could plan for another weekend, though? I don't care. I am up for anything/everything. I miss you D:

Date: 2010-09-10 05:17 pm (UTC)2: Hell Yea! Knit! All the cool kids are doing it! What are you making?
3: I SEE YOUR POINT AND AGREE 100%. I APPRECIATE HIM EVEN MOAR WHEN HE'S ALL FACIAL HAIRY AND MUSCULAR. WHICH ISN'T. OFTEN. ENOUGH.
4: As am I. :(
5: HE DOES! He just started, and this is his first time at college away from home (he's 20, and he had gone to our local community college for about semester but it totally didn't work out). I'm just hoping he keeps as motivated about college as he was at his job at the local italian grocery store in food prep, and he makes good friends and he doesn't flunk out (because, dude, they have a SERIOUS no tolerance tardy/uniform policy. It sounds like boot camp O_o) and that he's happy!--
You know, the usual.
but yea, I am planning on viisiting him, and HOPEFULLY in time to catch Amanda Palmer as the EmCee in Cabaret (what's a wee little trip to Boston from Providence, after all!) So yes, I'll keep you in the know if I come a callin'!

Date: 2010-09-10 05:20 pm (UTC)The closing weekend of this season is the last weekend of Sept, but maybe next year we can plan accordingly. Yes. YESSSSSSSSSSS.
Heh, we can always mix it up...a little cerebral, a little action/adventure, a little Michael Bay Worthy Explosions!--possibilities are endless!

You see, it's all just a matter of scale.
