Writing with half an ass

That just sounded better than "half-assed blog entry." I don't have a lot of time I wish to devote to blogging. Wait. Stop. Let me rephrase that. I WISH I had more time to devote to blogging, but things like finding a new job and trying to finish my current job are sort of taking up that time. But here's an update anyway.

*Applying for fall teaching jobs--it sucks, but at least I'm a pro by now.
*DJing the school dance on Friday. I'd rather not, but it's actually more work for me to NOT go, since all the music is already on my computer, for the most part.
*Going to a Saints game tomorrow. It's about damn time. I live within blocks of the place and I've just never gone. They're sudden last night fireworks scared the shit out of me too.
*My brother Scott is moving to Baltimore next weekend. He got a super sweet job offer there for the same corporation--making almost twice as much. He and Jennifer are expecting a baby girl (most likely) this August. I'm going to miss having them around, even if it was just in GB.
*The Christmas tree is still up in the living room, complete with ornaments. I'm thinking I'll take it down between applications this summer.
*I saw Sigur Ros for the second time last weekend...and I almost fell asleep. I love them, but I'll have to remember to get a full night's rest before their next show.
*This weekend I'll see Mogwai for the first time. A little less mellow. But still. MUST sleep first.
*Besides reading plenty of poetry and young adult novels, I've been getting into a new author. Laura Joh Rowland. I'm not usually into mystery, but just stick the setting in feudal Japan (think Inuyasha) and add a hint of sex, and I'm so there.
*Still think DDR is the rockingest game ever...and I can't wait to move so that I can buy it. Oh, and so that I can have enough hot water for a bath and not have to pay for laundry and not ROAST in the summer.
*Oh yeah, and I finally got tested for allergies. Turns out I'm quite allergic to Ragweed, hence the bad seasonal allergies, especially in early fall. And, sadly, also slightly allergic to dogs and cats--moreso cats. This sucks cuz when Chris and I move, we wanted to get a cat. It's still possible...just could be a big hastle. I'm still getting a dog when I get a house...such a far away day.

That's about all I can think of without having to think too hard. I'll get back to blogging more consistently soon. Just let me finish out this school year. Something to look forward to? Field trips :)
