Working on It

Right now I’m typing from my brand new desk and listening to Obama’s Address to Congress.
Loving the new desk.  Hating that, at times like these, I can’t help but feel a sort of awkwardness in the room because Wes and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum.
Truthfully, we hardly ever have conversations about [...]

The Hypochondriac in Me

Remember when I mentioned that I get invested in fictional stories?  Television and books become part of me and I take them way too seriously.  Fiction becomes fact and I will remember the most random things that I will then relate to my life to convince myself of something.
Like A Summer to Die. And it [...]

Like Riding a Bike

Skiing in Southern California is so completely different than any other place I’ve been. It’s like a fashion show for everyone and with the warm weather that meant pretty much anything goes: outfits of jeans and hoodies? Check. Girls in wife beaters and black bras? Double check.
Yes, it was hot: 55 degrees when we left [...]

Killing Time

Is it really only Thursday?
Even though I didn’t have to work on President’s Day it still feels like today should be Friday.  Apparently one day off isn’t enough for me.  Part of it, of course, is the weird Tuesday where I had to go into work at 8:00 pm for two hours, then come home [...]

Rumpus Room Update

Apparently Craigslist chick does not like the ladies. She took approximately 3 seconds (okay, it was more like 5 hours) to respond with this:
Hi Porter,
I still have the fridge.
I will not be home tonight and I have an interview on Wednesday in San Jose.
The coffee table is a long rectangle and it is cracked [...]

Sort Of

I have been laughing about this – and telling everybody about it – for the past week.  A friend of mine sent this to me after responding to a Craigslist posting.

Hi,
Saw your ad on craigslist.  I am looking for a small refrigerator for my office.  What color is yours?  How much are you asking for [...]

Job (In)Security

When I planned on quitting my job and joining Wes in Southern California I never expected to have a hard time finding a job.  As the date neared I started getting a little more worried, but I was still confident that something would come up.  So confident that I intended to take two months off [...]

Sore Loser

Like most people, I hate losing.  What fun is playing a game – any game – just to lose?  And I’m not talking about just sports, I’m talking about any game.  I hate losing.  And I take it personally.
Saturday night Wes and I played a game of Monopoly and I got killed.  It just ceased [...]

Pardon the Interruption

Do you know what sucks?  Working 10-hour nights for a week.  Last week I was a walking zombie.  My body didn’t have enough time to adjust to the hours so the first three days I slept in 3-hour increments and by the time I left work at 3:30 or 4:00 or 4:30 am, I was [...]

Outed

When I started this blog I never meant for it to be a secret thing.  I mean, I didn’t tell anyone about it for the first few weeks, and when I finally did come clean it was only to a handful of people.  I guess what I mean is: I never thought that it would [...]
