It's been more than six months since my last post and wonder where did things turn? That's not to say that my life has been in ruins the last half a year, but there are days when that;s just the way it seems. Back then I was waiting on two really sexy paychecks, had something to occupy my time and rarely went without seeing my friends multiple times a week. Not so much these days, I'm broke as hell, started an internship (yes, another one), see my friends less than regularly (all broke too) and pretty much blindly send resumes out to not even get an automated email saying they received it and it's under review to determine whether I'd be suitable for the position. In less than two months, it will be the one year anniversary of the proudest day of my life and I'm still trying to make the next one happen.

On a brighter note, it's great to have a friend from school moving to the city. It's still fun to bar hop (even more fun with the little cash I still have). Finally got to see British Sea Power, which subsequently led to my ears bleeding (totally worth it). I also discovered that if you want to talk to a girl on the subway, just say something about her purple pants.

After a week of nearly full-time work, this is third day out of the last four that I have not gotten out of the house. It's odd because it doesn't feel at all like the way I was in the beginning of the summer, when I just didn't do anything at all. I felt like I earned the time off, though today I spent part of that applying to paying and (ideally) more permanent work. Though while I wait to hear about my next job, I've got concerts to look forward to next week The National with Beach House (I'm more excited about that having already seen the former) and The Black Keys, though I could also possibly see Modest Mouse if the price is right. One of my good friends from school is coming to see them so I may get to hangout with him, which will be awesome. I also won free open bar on Thursday, so I'm getting fucked up!
