Blowin' in the Wind

I have had literally no free time lately it seems. And add to that that I've been sick & not keeping food down, and I've been quite stressed. Then add to that Rasta being weird, and I just give up.

House things are falling into place, which is good, but I am frazzled. First off is the fact that once I move in I have no idea how I'll be getting to work for a month or so until I get a license. Which will be just in time for the icy treacherousness that is 210 Hwy in the winter. Then there is the fact that I won't be able to get painted/recarpeted before I move in like I had hoped.

Highlight of my weekend - David Byrne in KC:

Probably the coolest show I've ever been to. He is so amazing. I love him.

Besides that we also went to Em Chamas, Knuckleheads, & Ameristar, all of which are always good. Saw a lot of Krista & Dane & Zeke which was a nice change. Lost my money at the boat. I much prefer Argosy.

I've been super busy at work. Rasta has basically stopped contacting me at all. Generally he will answer my text messages but that's about the extent of it. I don't know if I did something, or if he's bored with this, or if he's just also stressed. I know everybody I'm close to seems like they're having a bad time of it lately. It sucks. His birthday is tomorrow and I am making him something for it. Also giving him an inappropriate gift. Except who knows if that will even happen, any of it... It's getting frustrating. I am thinking I will stop sending him messages and just wait and see if he tries to get a hold of me at all. I have a lot on my plate to be the only person making an effort. Granted, everybody wins in the end when we do get together...I still think though that with this whole 'friends with benefits' thing, even if we aren't having the benefits we should both make an effort to maintain the friends part...Bah. I dunno.

I can't wait for Halloween. I ordered the rest of my costume yesterday. :D I think we're going to be the most badass Spice Girls ever. Even more than the real Spice Girls.

So at first I was not sure I liked this song, but I totally love it now. (Unfortunately it's not on imeem yet...)
Ben Folds & Regina Spektor - You Don't Know Me

I have a new home officially! A new townhome that is! I get the key tonight; closing on the 10th of October. Huzzah!!



I am beyond excited! There is, of course, work to be done. A minimal amount though, and that's good enough for me! Yay homeowner! Sad is the fact that I am really mostly curious to see how Yoshimi adjusts. It's a good thing I don't ever plan to have children I think; I would end up ignoring them for my baby! But look at how pretty she is!

Did I ever tell you the story about my boss's dog? If so, I apologize for repeating myself! Shortly after I started working here, when I got my 2nd boss (on number 3 now since June), I was in his office and saw that he had 2 framed pictures of dogs. One of them looked like Yoshimi. We've never been sure what breed she is, but from books and the such the closest we can tell is she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Here is a Rhodesian Ridgeback:
...So I ask my boss what type of dog it is, and he says he doesn't know. She was a rescue dog and they THINK she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. I just thought that was really strange - since Shimi was also a rescue dog, etc. That's all.

Tonight E Dat is coming into town! Very shortly actually! YAY! And we are going to go eat Japanese Steakhouse (Yum!) and go look at my house (!!!!) and then probably watch a movie with Rasta (:D). Tomorrow we will go to Knuckleheads, and I am making MC come with because he needs to start socializing. It's something I've decided.

Yesterday my horoscope said I might be wasting time on my latest crush, and that I should ask them. So I did. He said I wasn't. :)
