I got a preview tonight of what life will be like in the next two months when what was two roommates (me + Bang) turned to THREE roommates (me + Bang + Sish, as we have going on right now), turns to FOUR roommates (me + Bang + Sish + Dirty).
Loud, mouthy, hearty laughter filled [...]

So, I started passing off tangible assignments to the coworkers that will be filling my shoes as I leave here in two weeks. Binders, folders, files, etc., all leaving my bookshelves and drawers and walking across the media floor to the two guys that will be maintaining the campaigns I’ve been responsible for. [...]

Yes, I’m quite excited to see the debates tonight between veep hopefuls Biden and Palin. I’m not sure which I’m more excited for, though – tonight’s debates or Tina Fey’s sure-to-follow parody of Palin on SNL this weekend.
Either way, a handful of pals and I are going to be sitting around my living room, watching [...]

Have you noticed some of the fall trends on the racks right now? I breezed through The Gap and Target today over my lunch break and saw the following:
leggings (I know these came back 1-3 years ago, but now I am seeing METALLIC leggings)
bright, off-the-shoulder, hip-length t-shirts (pair this with the leggings and it’s Barbie [...]

Friday: I took a half-day on Friday (partly because I was meeting a guy for lunch for what would be my fourth interview with a new agency. SPOILER ALERT: I doubt I’ll take it. Then again, I haven’t seen an offer yet, so that’s a bit premature), and I was home by 3ish. [...]

Mondays come way too fast.
Do you ever put off going to bed on Sunday nights because you want to make Monday wait as long as possible before knocking down your door, ripping off your covers and dragging you upright and into the shower?
Oh. I do.
So, here I am – blogging instead of sleeping (not an [...]

So my Craigslist cherry got popped today. I sold my first something on that glorious classfieds site! Aren’t you proud? I know, I feel like a grown up. Or a broke college kid, not sure.
I sold a hand-me-down couch for $65, and honestly, I kind of feel like I ripped the kid off, [...]

My Guilty Pleasure Short List:
Pocky
The Food Network
Chocolate-covered Pretzels
Chocolate Milk
Crab chowder
Seasonally (every Fall), I add Caribou Coffee’s Pumpkin Pecan Bread to that list. I swear, I will pick up a piece at least 3 out of the 5 workdays every week until they stop offering it.
Combine that with the new trick I [...]

Oh, public transit, how I’ve missed you!
Yesterday’s Light Rail experience also served as my trial run to get back into taking public transportation downtown. I used to, when I lived right on an Express (read: fast) bus line that ran right through campus into downtown (read: safe-ish). When I moved from that place [...]

We have new neighbors next door.
Angela Bangela (aka Bang) and I live in a septuplex (is that a word?!) of an old house in St. Paul. It’s a GIANT old [I think] Victorian-style house on the border of the Lexington-Hamline/Merriam Park neighborhoods, and has a total of 7 units.
Bang lived here for about a year [...]
