Life is good, just so you know. I’m sure you miss the daily updates and those not so rare days when you’d get blessed with two, maybe even three updates in one day! Writing badly, complaining, rambling, and contemplating life are things I think I tend to do more frequently when life isn’t good. Anyways, the only thing that really sticks out in my mind in the “not so happy department” is my job, and even my job isn’t horrible. And I don’t have time to waste thinking or writing about work. It takes up enough of my time. I just wish it was less important and controlling … and I wish I relied less on it. Kind of like how I really really didn’t want to go to work today because I definitely had other more exciting things I wanted to do … like sleep or something. But living in a box and eating bread crumbs isn’t my idea of fun in the long-run … so I went to work.
In other boring and uninteresting news, I was checking out apartment listings yesterday on Craigslist and found some nice sounding apartments that were in my price-range in the areas of Squirrel Hill and Shadyside. Those two places seem more appealing than my current area of residence. I think I have to set the bar a bit higher this time though. I must live somewhere that allows cats. It must have laundry on-site or very close. I absolutely must have a bathtub, and not some crusty moldy disgusting one. I miss bubble baths. Not that I’m officially planning to move, but when I do decide I’ll just do it. And that is that.
On Monday evening I went downtown to Kaufmann’s after work. I wanted to buy some new clothes for work and I don’t really know where I got the idea to go to Kaufmann’s. I don’t think I’ve ever shopped there before but I might have been there once a long time ago. And the more I think about how I ended up there, the more I think it must have been that dazzling window display that lured me in. About two weeks ago I was standing across from Kaufmann’s waiting for a bus and I just fell in love with the window displays. I guess they just stuck in my head. I’m glad I was tempted to shop there because it is a wonderful store. It is really big and it has tons of stuff, and it isn’t the mall … since I’m not a huge fan of the mall most of the time. Anyways, it was like my own shopping palace … because NOBODY shops there. It was deserted and wonderful! And best of all, there is a “warm and cozy” section, a pajama section the size of a small WalMart, and tons and tons of fuzzy slippers! (Not that I bought any of that stuff, haha).
Last night, I accurately predicted the outcome of three hockey games. And I even predicted the final score of one of them. I need to get myself that fancy hockey channel so I can sit around and predict hockey games all night. Maybe it could be my new career. Well, just in case its not, I better buy some lottery tickets. One way or another, I’ll be rich and free of responsibility soon.
Oh … and my Chinese medicine friend at work who takes my pulse daily mentioned to me today that my equilibrium has been increasingly better in the past few weeks. He said he noticies a definite difference and that I seem a lot less stressed and healthier …. of course you have to believe this crap for it to have any bearing on you, but anyways … I found it to be interesting and maybe I believe it just a little. I do feel good though, so maybe he has a little something afterall. Or maybe I feel good because I just daydream all day now instead of getting stressed out and doing work. Haha, whatever it is, I like it.
Anyways …. get warm and be merry. Looks like we might get lots of snow tomorrow! I dont mind, as long as it doesn’t turn to brown gooey sludge all over the place. But I am sure it will.
thanks! and I lived on Negley Hill around ’92, between Shadyside and Squirrel Hill. I liked Pittsburgh, though twelve years in San Francisco now.

I doubt these are on craigslist, but don’t live in the apartments with the phone number 441-1400 (i think that’s it) with the black and hot pink signs or smiley face signs. They suck (we looked at a few) but the worst part is that they DON’T shovel their damn sidewalks in front of their buildings when it snows (and there are about ten of them on my street) which makes my walk on a slightly downward slope to the bus stop more of a slip ‘n slide! >: (
Craigslist.org is an awesome site and if I lived in CA I’d definitely apply for a job with your company just cause it sounds like a FUN and awesome job … and I think that you should probably ban any apartment listings with that phone number … I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about that RE/Management company.
