So, I am finally settled in Chicago, with INTERNET!
I moved here a few weeks ago. It was a painful and difficult ordeal. Mostly because the staircase in my building is windy and very hard to move bulky items up. So that sucked. Literally had to take a futon apart in the doorway because we could not get it to fit...
Took me about a day and a half to get everything unpacked and organized where I wanted it. Even now, I'm still probably not happy where everything is. I'll move it about seven more times in the next few days.
My apartment is...cozy. That's the word we can use for it. At first, I thought it was way too small and I couldn't deal with it. But settling in, I think it's a great size. I just can't have a bunch of people over all at once. Unless they want to drive to a hotel. Or sleep in their cars...both work for me.
Started work as well. So that's exciting. I'm actually using my degree to do stuff now. I mean...I'm not really using my degree, literally. That would be weird. I should try it one day though. Maybe just push papers around using my diploma. Make it useful instead of just being a $40,000 piece of paper. Which reminds me. I have to pay my student loans soon. So that kind of sucks...
Hopefully I get paid soon...since rent is expensive. And gas will probably be pricey. And electric. And cable. WHY IS CABLE SO DANG EXPENSIVE?!?! I mean...they are literally charging me for making the picture box glow. We shoot that stuff through the air. Why am I paying a metric crap-ton to get it to my TV?!?! There's gotta be a bettah way!
Whatever. That's my rant for now. Just a quick update on my move. More updates to follow! And they'll be more exciting. Maybe. It is me after all. My life is about as exciting as seeing a turkey vulture. Yeah, it's cool because they look weird and are circling their prey, but it's just an awkward, bald bird that's going to be ripping apart some poor, helpless, probably adorable animal that just happened to lose in the game of life. Eventually, seeing this nature display reminds you of your own mortality and why you spent a good hour watching a turkey vulture devour a rabbit instead of living.
I don't know what that metaphor had to do with how my life is boring...but it sounds pretty good, right?
Until we meet again,
Brian
