RSS Feedthe time that i saw death cab for cutie live
i don’t quite remember what happened monday through wednesday. i suppose it was just work and trying to relax.
thursday was rather awesome. my client is sponsor of soundstage on pbs. as such, i was able to score some tickets to thursday night’s recording of death cab for cutie. it was pretty much awesome. standing like 10 feet away from the stage and 15 feet away from them was amazing. i also got invited to a blackhawks playoff game the same evening, which would have been my first hockey game ever, but sadly death cab had to come first.
the weather around here finally rebounded and friday ended up being amazing. too bad i didn’t have the day off to enjoy it. finally did get to enjoy it on saturday though. it was the first time in 7 months that i didn’t have to wear a jacket. on saturday evening joe and i ended up meeting some of his friends along the lake and we had a nice walk. it’s so nice to finally be able to go out and enjoy the city again. it did start raining though and i don’t think it’s stopped since then.
and that, was my (not-so) overly exciting weekend.
the time that i finally started using the wordpress iphone app
if this works like I hope it will then I might just start writing more entries. We shall see.
the time that i got into a fight with a cab driver
so today was my first day off from work since january. i probably should have used it in a more resourceful manner but instead i used it to relax a bit. joe and i went to dinner and a movie this evening. we saw monsters vs. aliens in 3D which was awesome. any movie in 3D is good in my opinion though. afterwards we got in a cab and headed home because i refused to walk to the train station, sit on the train for half an hour and then walk another 10 minutes home. all was fine until we arrive home and the cab driver shows his stupidity. i hand him my debit card to which he clearly lets out a huge sigh. awww boohoo, heaven forbid he have to follow the rules. so he grabs a credit card slip (because he wasn’t fancy enough to have one of the machines in the car) only to declare that he doesn’t have a pen. seriously?!? well i was thinking that the ride would be free since he wouldn’t be able to proceed with the transaction. luckily joe pulled a pen out of his car that was parked nearby. he rubs the card to imprint the numbers and hands me back the slip … blank, with nothing else written on it. i had to write in the final cost and was pretty annoyed and pissed off at this point. i took my card and my copy of the receipt and slammed the door. he yelled a friendly “Fuck You” out the window as a parting gift. i proceeded to go inside and report him on the city complaint website.
and that ladies and gentlemen, was my friday evening.
the time that i was [fill in blank here]
i turned in my 60 day notice to my landlord this week. now i’m sort of panicking. what if i don’t end up finding another acceptable place within my budget? erg. apartment hunting and moving always adds to my stress levels, which isn’t good considering that i’m an inherently stress-filled person. erg. i am so not looking forward to this. now i’m going to be [even more] paranoid and stressed for the next two months.
i have recently come back from a trip to the country (aka joe’s house) and am extremely happy to report that 3G service has arrived there. so exciting. now if only at&t could get the 3G service her in the city to work that would be awesome.
softball is about to begin, which i’m looking forward to, well except for the whole waking up early thing. that always sucks. but at least it means summer will be here before we know it, although you couldn’t imagine that if you looked outside my window right now and saw the snow falling.
okay, time for bed. until later.
