Blog Thread,
Its deer season in Pennsylvania, well, rifle season for deer. After being out for a few days I remember why I quit hunting 7 years ago, but the flip side is that my fiance and I are financially strapped, so the extremely cheap meat is a plus right now.

my buddies just bagged a pretty big buck down the street from our house the other day

I'm looking forward to the obscene amount of jerky coming our way

Thats cool about the buck!

From the deer I shot monday we got 8 roasts, 5 bags of chunked up stew meat, 6 packages of tenderloin medallions (backstrap meat), 6 packages of steaks and 20 lbs of ground meat. We live on a small farm, so my fiance's dad knows how to butcher things and has the tables, meat saws, grinders and everything else, so it worked out well.

The next deer, if I'm lucky enough to get another, will have some jerky made out of it.

storage and accessories

yeah this is what i meant, i already have some furniture staples but man is my apartment ugly and barren. i want to put things on my wall! i want cushions for my futon! i want one of those things to organize my cutlery instead of letting it all pile up together in one disastrous mess in my kitchen drawer! i want a little kitchen table so i don't have to eat dinner at my desk every night! i want to own more than one towel. and it's right there, just out of reach. but one day... one day it will all be mine.

also it looks like my six seminars is almost definitely going to be seven seminars instead! seven seminars all for me. oh, next semester is sure going to be interesting.

also also, i have finally run out of clean underwear and socks after having not visited the laundromat in over a month on account of my fucking stupidly busy life and i am currently washing said underwear and socks in my bathroom sink.

also also also, i have just consumed two energy drinks in anticipation of the all-nighter i have planned for tonight, and almost certainly for the next several nights following as well.

i know, it's okay to be jealous.

So I just finished (what I think is) a pretty great essay on Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound, and am feeling really accomplished. The issue is that I wanted to have this feeling two or three days ago, as I have another essay of equal length on Italian Cinema due Friday, as well as a lab exam for Circuitry of the Human brain on Friday morning, and the thought of both of those things is not very pleasant.

Thankfully I'm pretty sure I'll make it through everything. I'm just not really very excited.

Blog,

Earned my first professional certification this week. Told a hair stylist "try to make me look less bald" this week. Mixed a song so awesome during rehearsal that the band actually cheered when the audio team let them know it got recorded. Then we played it back and everyone did those full-arm fist pump things that usually are acquainted with excitement and approval.

I had what I think is an awesome idea; I called all my artist friends and told them to do self-portraits of themselves and their loved ones and I would buy them. Gonna make a my-friends-the-artists wall in my home.

Plus, we got dog stuff. Should get the corgi on Friday.

Yes. 2 or 3 months into the relationship my sister called Stacey and told her she wanted to be an aunt. Stace and I were 18 at that time... and it didn't go over very well.

Also, baby planned for 2 years from now anyway (Bruno Max or Malinka depending on the what it comes out as. Bruno = grandfather's name, Malinka = little raspberry in Polish).

Goddamn work days are long when they start two and a half hours earlier than usual, and also when they start at the moment you wake up. I can't say I'm a fan of this.

My husband woke up at 6am to drive a truck to a 9am setup in DC this morning (truck needs to leave the shop by 7 at the latest), but at 6:30 he woke me up to say that he has a 24-hour stomach bug (that our bosses' daughter was kind enough to bring home from kindergarten and share with the warehouse). Bam, Logistics Rosie is on it. Call the boss, call the three other guys on the setup who can drive trucks, don't get a response until 7:15. 7:30 I pick up the driver, drive him to the shop, get him on the road by 8:20. Come back to town, stop at the grocery store for invalid food (ginger ale, chicken noodle soup, and crackers. in my pajamas and flip flops, in fucking December), go home and get dressed, go back to the shop. All that and I'm still fucking half an hour late, what the fuck. But now it is time to leaveeeeeeeeeeeeee. YAY.

Getting fired sucks. Guess it's time to deplete the the last of my Four Lokos!

On the bright side (not that 4Loko evenings aren't a good thing), a Music Production major at my school has agreed to do my band's mixes for free and he booked us a gig next Saturday. Thank God my bass player knows him or it'd be 5 liberal arts majors staring at a mixing board wondering what do we do now?

Today I had my very first art exhibition! Okay, it was more of a school thing were we thought 'hey guys, we're all done with the end of term project, let's stick'em on the wall, move out the desks, buy some alcohol and call it an exhibition!', but it's still really awesome! Everyone in my course chipped in so we had lots of booze for all the people who'd come have a look at our studio/exhibition space, and we actually got a massive turnout. It was so much fun! Now I'm doing some last minute work before it all has to be handed in for assessment tomorrow morning, and tomorrow evening I have a date with a super cute italian guy. Did I tell you guys my life pretty much rocks?

it may not rock, per se, but it sounds like it respectfully jams out with it's headphones on at a reasonable volume

which is great, because most people's lives seem to blast the same three ring-tone beats over the PA for awhile, then the needle skips and makes a horrible screeching noise for 30 years

I can get you a baby in 3 weeks. $50 now, $50 when it arrives. Or, you can go for the expedited service, which is $200 now, $100 on arrival. If you want to get into the specifics of race and looks, it'll cost you extra.

Also, it might be stolen.

Tatanka is so good. Someone in my class on our school trip to Poland ordered it because she somehow thought that apple juice meant orange juice, because orange in Norwegian is "appelsin", but obviously everyone else knows that apple = eple. Anyways, she didn't like it, but everyone else did and that was pretty much all the alcohol we drank for the rest of the trip. I was pretty pleased when I found it at the liquor store here.

so blog thread, for some reason I've been experiencing really intense half panic attacks fairly frequently for the past couple months or so! completely without provocation my vision will get all washed out, I'll suddenly have no idea where I am or who the people around me are for something like 5-30 seconds, and when I come to from my confusion I'll be breathing really heavily and my heart will be pounding and I have to really try and get control of myself before a full blown panic attack happens. what the hell is wrong with me? It's kind of becoming a nuisance, especially at work.
