BORED

tick tock...tick tock....3 hours left....I have nothing to do at work right now, so I'm just listening to Pandora and googling. I've taken way too many online tutorials so I'm even bored with that. It's prob better that I don't have work to do right now because my brain is rather slow from last night's alcohol consumption at the concert. I saw Maceo Parker at Antone's- It was packed with Maceo fans so it was def a good time. Maceo Parker is 2% Jazz, 98% funk, a super talented vocalist and instrumentalist- played with a number of bands and artists including Dave, Red Hot Chili peppers, Ray Charles, Ani Difranco...
Good Times..however I'm going to be smelling like a brewery at the gym today. Oh well...I'm happy it's almost the weekend ..Tomorrow I'll be dressed as a mouse during the office day and a skanky pirate at night. I just got my costume in the mail, and well it's so scandalous I have to wear shorts underneath my dress so I don't accidentally flash my goods.
Happy Halloween Weekend. Go UT! Go Ravens!

life's been good

ive been pretty consistent about being inconsistent with blogging. 3 months have gone by since my last post and a lot has happened. I have a new graphic design job, I've made new friends, I've joined a book club (social drinking club), I bought a Wii, I've celebrated a birthday in Austin, I bought a futon, I painted about 4 paintings, I've met Ravens fans from Baltimore (with whom I hang out with on game days), I've attended more concerts, including ACL after shows at the Legion Mansion...I've had visitors- Brian's dad, his brothers, and our friend Donnie. I now have Texas plates and a Texas driver's license. Also, I discovered more to our hike and bike trail, I have new happy hour spots (including the Alligator grill which was filmed in Office Space)...and I found more cool shops.

Finally, I realize I've been living here over 6 months now! Time flies....and pretty soon I'll be back in Bmore for Christmas.
