New Music

Well. New to me anyway.

A few years ago I was in the car with my friend and former coworker Josh and we listened to this band called Cornershop and, even though I liked it, I hadn't really thought about since then. Well, a few months ago I spent a ridiculous amount of time in Slackers (for the St Louis challenged, its a used music/video game/random store) and saw their album When I Was Born for the 7th Time. I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure it was the same one I listened to before and because I just don't buy music without a little bit of research. Last Friday I was up super early and was tooling around on the internet before I had to go to the bus stop and decided "What the hey?" might as well broaden my musical horizons.

So long boring story. But I really kind of like it. It's a weird mix of Indian music, hip-hop elements, pop and general funkiness. Plus the last song is Norwegian Wood (in Hindi).

Life

So. I haven't really written anything of substance in ages. Life goes on. Work sucks big time. But I have proven how invaluable I am to them and unexpectedly got a raise before I should have. Unfortunately, I still have to work opens four or five times a week which is draining on my personal relationships not to mention my health. In the past few months I have been applying for new jobs but for whatever reason have only managed to get one interview. It went really well but its for a part-time only position that would be paying the same amount (or slightly less) than what I'm making now and I'm not sure I can afford to take it if I do get it.

Oh well.

I finally have my weekends to myself which has been nice. Brian and I went to the Soulard farmer's market a couple weeks ago. It was a gorgeous day and we got some really good stuff that we used to make gumbo.

I dyed my hair. I'm a brunette now which I am loving.

Rory and Kate moved away to Oregon last month and although I didn't see them that often when they did live here (damn my crappy schedule!), I'm really missing them but I've been putting off buying plane tickets to go out there and visit them (and also my parents) because I don't know if I can really afford it and I'm waiting to here about this job and if I get it I probably won't be able to take time off. Sigh.

This post is kind of a downer so I'm goint to end it here.

Ow.

I am sunburned.

Again.

Damn you pale skin!
