To be completely honest I don't have a good answer. I've been around but just haven't been able to work up the energy to blog. Lame excuse I know. Especially considering I don't have a job.
I can partially blame the free electric guitar I received recently. It along with the acoustic guitar I received for my birthday are irresistible when I've got nothing else I really have to do. Also, when compared to laundry and dishes learning that Weezer song I've always wanted to sounds pretty good.
So, I've been playing some guitar, trying to keep the place clean, dogparking with Oni so much that the dogwalkers think I'm a dogwalker and trying (and failing) not to drink too much. Nothing makes you feel like more of a loser than waking up jobless and hungover on a Monday.
Starting yesterday Nicole and I decided to give up the booze until the holidays. It was becoming an expensive daily habit and it should be easier for us to focus on the important things without the haze. Also, I've been on this little weight loss kick for the last 8 months or so and I think I've plateaued with respect to the amount of weight I can lose without further changing my diet.
I'm going to do my damnedest to come up with some intelligent things to say in the near future.
I will close with a picture of Oni playing our new guitar. He's a huge Led Zep fan and is teaching me Stairway to Heaven.
A little down time is usually a good thing. Especially, when
you come to a realization that it should only be a little.
Hi! I found your blog by googling "moving to LA" or something because I'm moving there in January. I just wanted to let you know that it was very helpful and insightful for me. I especially enjoyed reading about the miseries of the DMV (ironic) and have resolved to be prepared and be sure to have all my documents in order! I'm sorry to read that you're now unemployed but I thought it might make you feel a tiny bit better to know that somebody read your blog and appreciated it and learned from it. :)
