Being Unbusy from a Busy Week
This has been a very busy and eventful week, thus the lack of updates. Let me try to summarize it for you:
Monday, 11/24: woke up sick, as I have been for the past couple weeks. Didn't feel good physically, runny nose, and just overall no motivation to really get up. Tried to work on some Oklahoma Today stuff, actually did for a while, and then my internet decided it wouldn't allow me to anymore. Not like my internet just cut off, but just wouldn't let me access a few sites, ones that I needed to do work....so I couldn't do that. Then I had a call from someone at NW Sports mag, about a lead for a freelance gig, and I tried to call back and got the voicemail (called today and got an interview on Tues), Got ready for for work (last day of training). Went to work, had a run-in with the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile in the parking lot (let me cross the street). Work went ok. I bought some popcorn to give myself a littler treat and then found free cupcakes in the break room, score! Came home after work. Realized my toe was hurting and some sort of in grown ness going on. Fixed it with in the next day or so. Then finished my Oklahoma Today work. I think I totalled over 10 hours of work. I was tired.
Tuesday, 11/25: Went to Seattle. In some sort of odd coincidence, I found a very close spot in the parking garage and made it early to Seattle (never happens when I have an interview there). I kind of walked around then my way to Mike's work. Participated in this works Super Party Rock Band Party, complete with Ezell's Chicken, which is apparently Oprah's favorite (I was unaware of this). Then after all that, we went half a block down to Nuemos and watched School of Seven Bells and M83. We missed a few songs though, because we had to leave early to catch the bus home. But got to watch a good hour. Good show. Still trying to figure out the mysterious glass box he had.
Wednesday, 11/26: Took care of various errands, grocery store, post office, etc. Then later met up with my parents at McChord AFB. We hung out there for a while, then came home.
Thursday, 11/27: Met up with the family and made our way to the beach, with stops in Olympia. Ill have some pictures uploaded soon, I still have to edit some. Then after the beach, we went over to Shari's for Thanksgiving dinner, then came back to Tacoma and went through the Bridge of Glass and looked at some of Glass Museum down there.
Friday, 11/28: Had work from 8-4:30. I hate you Black Friday. Actually work wasn't too bad, just was my first day out of training. and it was non stop all day. After work, met up with the family and had an awesome burger at Red Robin. I missed out on the adventures to Seattle, but they brought me back a present, which was nice. Afterwards, we went to REI and they bought me a new coat, which is my early Christmas present. Thanks Mom and Dad!
Saturday, 11/29: Had work from 8-4:30 again. But the family popped in on my lunch break and brought me pizza. That helped the day go by quicker. Then after work, we just hung out at my parents quarters.
Sunday, 11/30: Work.
Monday, 12/01: Work.
Tuesday, 12/02: Woke up at 6:45 (Mike's Usual), then rode to downtown Seattle with him, and had an interview over at Media Index Publishing for a freelance gig. So far it's looking promising, just have to figure out a way to make sure our files are compatible with each other (they use Quark...who uses Quark?). The interview was pretty quick, then I started to make my way to Mike's work for lunch. Ended up stopping at an awesome book store, Elliott Bay Book Company, scored this book for 15 bucks, and then made a stop at a great toy store and H&M. I got to Mike's work, but he had to finish a project before 2, which ended up being like 2:30. Then we went at some good brisket sandwiches at the Honey Hole. and then I came home. Later, we jammed for a bit, which was an odd blend of music, something in the middle of Seaweed, Fugazi, Mogwai, and Dinosaur Jr. But ended on quite a good note. Then I made an ice cream run, watched Dexter and went to sleep.
Today. Well, Today has been my first 'off day,' and I've been taking the opportunity to try to catch up on the internets and emails and trying to make a list of things I need to do. Probably edit some photos, find some more jobs to apply to. I will have some more recent photos uploaded to flickr soon, and quite possibly some linkage later this week.
