I start my drive to Little Rock at about noon on...
which means I’m finally going to be leaving my apartment of 6 years, 5 month, and 6 days (as of the 1st). I’ve been here longer than in any place other than my parents’ home. It was the first place I ever lived by myself. When I moved in I came with 1 minivan and 1 car of stuff, when the movers came on Monday I filled 445 cubic feet of space.
I’ve had 3 TVs, 8 cellphones,...
I just finished a first pass of cleaning the...
and the chemical fumes were making me a little light-headed. So I smoked a cigarette (makes sense, right?). When I came back inside the smell was still over-powering, so I turned on the bathroom exhaust fan (in the vain hope that it may actually vent somewhere). The cats are displeased with this development and want me to slay the noisy monster in the ceiling.

I start work January 11th, and I’m actually going to Little Rock the third. I just...

Hypothetically.
I’m pretty sure I’ll reblog every mention of this song I see.
Gratuitous Paragraph About Yourself Wednesday
I’ve just turned 30 years old, and I’ve just finished my Ph.D. I’ve been looking for a job for the last 4 months, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found one. Two, actually, but like everything else in life, it’s complicated. For the first time in about six years I have free time that I have no reason to feel guilty about, and I think I should be using it to do something...
