job suey

so i'm starting this job on monday morning. i have a full orientation at 8:30 and then a second one on tuesday at 8:30. it's pretty awesome. i haven't had to do anything that early in a long long time. but here's the thing. i need immunizaiton records. and i'm not sure if i have them. nor do i know where they'd be. how can i give them immunization records? the last time i had to do this, i just needed to have titres done. but now they want shit for TB. i haven't had a TB test since i was a kid, i think. shit maybe i have TB. i'd actually prefer to call it consumption. that's a much better name. why did we change it anyway. consumption is much friendlier.

holy pain

i wish that cats knew how pointy their claws are. i mean shit. i love these cats. i really do. and one of them, Misu, (i didn't name the cats) can be realy friendly when she wants to be. and she likes to crawl on me, and be all cozy. but damn, she needs to hold on for dear life, and to do that she digs her claws into my skin. now if i was a couch, or a blanket, that might actually feel good, but being a human, it hurts like a bitch. evil evil cats. even when they love you they hurt you. just like a woman.

shit it's been two weeks

i'm not very good at keeping up with this right now. i..uh...have been busy. yeah that's it. busy. too many cool things that i'm doing up here in boston. too many cool people i've been hanging out with. yeah so that's it. i've been busy.

ooh, and i have a job. i'm going to be working at a hospital doing research on people. it's like i'm nasa, or the cia or something. mwaaaah. i think that i may have chocolate all ove my face. shhh.

and i just bought a bike lock, so now i can lock my bike when i take those imaginery rides around the boston area. hey for any of you who know about bikes, i need to adjust my handle bars, but the bolt won't budge, should i just suck it up and take it to a shop? i think that's what i'm going to do.

oh so back to the job. it's part time. 20 hrs a week, but i get some spensive ass benefits, so at least i can jump offa buildings and shit. i can get hurt again, and someone will take care of me.

i was back in ny last weekend. i'm glad i got to see all the people i did get to see. sorry gully. and i also ate some good barbeque. if you want some good barbeque in the north, you can get it in NY. not boston. i have yet to have real good bbq here. it makes me sad. someone should open up a barbeque shop in boston. a real one. or better yet, someone should teach me to do BBQ and i'll open up the shop myself. it would be nice if someone gave me the money to do that. then it would all work out.

if you've never had sazerac, you should try it. it's rye. real good for after eating BBQ. or something heavy.

oh so the job search, which is now over, was really weird. last wednesday i got an email from one job saying they were interested in me. they wanted a transcript and some references. i gave them that, and the next day they said they weren't interested anymore. i know that they never called the references, and i have good grades. so um, yeah. they were like a woman. "i like you! um, not anymore. ugh."

so when are you all visiting me? i need more friends up here. and i need a side table and a small coffee table. so if anyone has one to spare, it would be cool. the other day i spackled. i was sealing up a container that we're going to keep shit outside and i was using silicone to seal the edges for rain and shit. i did a pretty messy job. it was a lot of fun. today i took out our AC and put it in the bin, and i weather sealed some shit. i'm such a dude. it's pretty fun. you should try it.

oh, the coffee/side tables should have an espresso finish to match my entertainment unit. wow, i went from dude to gay in three sentences. awesome.

and today, i went to a new therapist. she was cool, but the building she works in was all weird. they're like new agey there and shit. like 15 different types of therapists. in one room i overheard someone hitting something and yelling. very primal. very cool. i think i need to hit some shit an yell. at the office you had to take off your shoes right after you came in. it was sooo wacky. but then again, i liked the therapist. i have a cat on me right now. she's so cute.

hopefully i'll write more soon.

it's been a week

shit i can't believe that it's been a whole week since i've done this. it's sad, but i've realized that the reason that i restarted the blog was so that i could have conversations with people. even if they're imaginery conversations with imaginery people, it still counts. or at least my brain thinks so. it's hard to have these dialogues when you spend most of your time at home watching dvds of tv and getting house work done. the house is coming along. today i put the second coat on k's new desk. this weekend we stained it green and then put one coat of polycryllic on. i put the second one on today. that's the main difference between living by myself and lving with a girlfriend. we have projects to do. "hey let's stain and finish the desk." that's a sentence i would have never uttered in my own home.

for those who have never stained a piece of furniture, it's not as fun as it sounds, nor is it as fun as k makes it sound. i got to do the top of the desk. the top is the easy part. it's big and wide and you can just slather shit on and smooth it out. the legs and drawers are much worse. such a pain. and place where two pieces of wood meet, is just evil. i'm pretty sure that the concept of angles is out to get me. fucking angles. watch out, they're all aroiund us. it's good i moved from ny to boston. we have fewer angles here. lots of rotaries. shit circles are evil too. i think that shapes, or maybe geometry, even euclid could all be out to get me. fucking ancient greeks. they'll stomp your ass when you're not looking.

we have cats. that's a new thing for me too. i'm now a cat owner. or, a more appropriate term, a slave. they wake you up in the morning to be fed, they meow when they want to be pet, pretty much they stroll around the house or sleep, and then when they want something from you, they hold you hostage until you give it to them. this afternoon i was feeling ill. i needed sleep, i think that i was overdosing on serotonin. shhh dont tell anyone. i may have taken a pill too many yesterday. either that or i ate too much chocolate and took a pill. i have my theories. maybe i've been watching too much House on dvd. i look at everything as something that could be poisoning me. so anyway, i woke up dead tired after nearly 9 hours of sleep, and i was nauseus and jittery. all things that excess serotonin might cause. kinda like when you start taking antidepressents. anyway, i needed more sleep. at 1 pm today i went back to bed, slept till nearly 3, when a cat decided that i'd had too much sleep and she started headbutting me, and purring, and basically beggging to be pet. so now i need to wake up and pet a cat. it was too early for her to be hungry so it was just attention that she needed. i think, though, that maybe it was revenge. maybe all the times that i've woken up the cats to pet them in the middle of the afternoon finally got to her and she cracked. demanding attention when i was sleeping. payback's a bitch, especially if the thing dishing it out doesn't speak.

(now i've bought special grass for the cats to much on when they're chilling out. i'm whipped. whipped by two fourlegged furry animals with brains the size of peas.)

greetings from the north

so i'm in boston. and, to be honest, i'm lonely. i miss everyone. i miss everyone a
lot. and i miss NY, and the subway and the lack of trees, and the angry rats. ok
there are plenty o f angry rats here, but i dunno i miss the ones in the subways.
here there are little tiny mice in the subways. and the subways are barely
subways. many of them are above ground, but not elevated. they're like buses on
tracks. it's weird.

ok enough ragging on boston. we went to walden pond on saturday. i had an
epiphany. i'm not going to divulge what it was here. wait for my book to come out.
it's going to be called "on walden pond." i think that it'll be a big hit. btw, for those of you who have never been to walden pond, it's not really in the "wilderness" it's like right outside of the town of concord. if you go, you should go to this little wine shop on thoreau road (might not be the actual name of the road). it has some kick ass chocolate chip cookies. you know how i love me some chocolate chip
cookies.

does anyone know why cats like to wake me up in the morning? actually why
"cat" likes to wake me up. one of the cats is cool. she likes to sleep late and hang
out in the afternoon. the other cat likes to wake up early and wake me up in the
morning. she also like to do needle point and goes to church every sunday.
praying to some damn cat god.

oh and at walden pond, or rather in walden pond, there are these evil fish. these
little yellow fish (little is like 5 inches across). they're evil and were conspiring
against me. i'm not going to go into all the details right now, but just let it be
known, i'll get you, you damned evil fish!!! i'll get you after all!!!

well it's nice saying hello again, hope you're all doing well
