my god i've landed!

i know it's been forever and all that, but i made it out here and am acclimating nicely. i will post pictures and give more details later. why not now? because i won't have my computer set up for a while, plus i'm a lazy git.

schnucks knows whats up

the most delicious cake ever!

sarah & shushan's BBQs rock.

nostalgia sets in early

things i will miss when i'm out west:

family
friends
newly planted cornfields
wide streets
random idiocity from local college students (some kid mooned me out of a car window the other day while driving)
personal time (once the bambino comes)
certain regulars at work
my vinyl collection

the other side of how it's going down

M is now posting on her own blog about the pregnancy and what it's like on her side of things. if you're interested, you can read about it here.

i got an offer!

which is such a relief. i'll be working for the bookstore, and probably waiting tables. i'm excited as my new boss seems like she's very people oriented and has runs a tight ship, and it's a much busier store than i'm used to. but mostly i'm just thrilled that i'll be freaking employed. eating is very important to me.

the time frame is a fast turnaround. i report to work out there June 1. so that means my last day of work here is the 21st, and i'm hoping to leave town by the 24th. my mom is going to drive out there with me, which will be good and also filled with bickering i'm sure. i'm going to invest in audio books and earplugs. for her sake and mine. i wonder if we can get an announcement on the emergency broadcast system to warn anyone w/in a 100sq mile radius from where we'll be.

i just started and already slacking

things from the last couple of weeks:

joey pants came into the store. don't know why...i mean, obviously he was looking for a book, but i'm not sure exactly what drew him to the picturesque vistas of normal. he was also looking like he just came from a marathon of group therapy sessions.

i hung out w/ old friends recently and discussed deep philosophical issues such as: if jim morrison were alive today would he be a washed up celebrity that turns up on a reality tv show? with whom would he live in said tv show's house? we came up w/ a few ideas. pat robertson. jimmy walker. wesley snipes. shannen dougherty. samantha fox. gary busey.

i gave up my vinyl and part of my cd collection to be sold by my good pal jeff. i'm in the midst of ripping the last 7 boxes to get them to him. if you're interested in anything i might have owned, stop by the shop to spend some money. stop by anyways, even if you aren't interested in my stuff. his place is the bee's knees.

still waiting for the word on the j-o-b. it could be the weekend before i hear anything. cripes, this is maddening.
