Ugh, Friday—

This short week was still too long.

Dear Iced-Americano in a BYO,

I love you. So, so much.


Yours,

spring break saturday

Spring Break is officially here.

Now, I'm not talking early-March-college-aged-spring-break… I'm talking about the pool opening in our courtyard and every weekend day is over 100 attractive 20-somethings getting drunk, sunburnt and each other's numbers.

Memorial day weekend was a little out of control and I might have to take a Spring Break break.

OH!—Brother is buying a house about three miles east of downtown, so:

A. Spring Break will be no more. :(

2. No more walking to go out downtown. :(

3. YAY HOUSE! :)

IV. My shower-singing will be contained to the basement shower instead of bothering stranger-neighbors. :)

I feel like I am really into compound words today. It's super-cool.

Well, I'm 23 now. And I promised a birthday story:

So here it is.

Saturday morning brunch. $8 bottomless mimosas? At 11am? Okay.

Oh, free birthday shot before noon? Sure. …

… 3:30pm, 'Let's go to the park' … where we promptly passed out near a volleyball game for, oh, probably three hours.

Woke up in time to go to sushi. Free sake bombs? Thanks.

Post-sushi-apartment-dance-party? Yep. Yep. Yep.

Sunday hurt.

torrential friday

It's raining. Hard. Like Indiana-hard.

And all I wanna do is nap nap nap nap. (Haha, tricked ya…)

tgi… thursday?!

Damn you, time. You've screwed me again!

Speaking of Time, my dear four to six blog readers, you should probably read SCade's blog. She, unlike myself, has things to say. Not just stupid links to stupid photos.

Also, post script, I just finished the first season of Dexter and oh—my—. It's phenom.

Aaand I took a rull-gud nap today. Mmmmm…

snowednesday

It snowed today/last night. What the hell. I'm over winter.

I totally meant to go to bed two hours ago.

Aaand my birthday on Saturday was epic. More on that later.

another monday another mondollar

I was told over the weekend that Funemployed-Matt was way more fun than Career-Driven-Matt…

Been freelancing a lot. Which is good. But that means lots of deadlines. Oy.

Sleep now.

late nite thursday

I took a really great nap after work.

And have been designing all night.

Tomorrow, I have to represent my company at an intern fair.

wawkward wednesday

Cafe: Wednesday night.

First date?

He used to be married to a Chinese woman.

She was conceived in Alaska.

They met on the internet?

She knows how to make whips.

I think this should be some sort of reality mess.

dont stop saturdays

Just when the week should end, I've got projects to finish.

But first: a shower, pizza rolls, an Izze, and then off to the cafe to work work work!

In other news, at saw Hamlet last night at NTC and it is phenom. Congrats to the Class of 2010 and the crew on such a great production.

Also, I framed a Guinness poster, so my place in alcoholism has been sealed.

…Aaand I'm going to Mexico in October for work. For a week. For free. To help the children. And eat. And drink. And zip line. And sit on the beach. And help the children.

falling apart wednesdays

I'm moonlighting.

And my back hates me.

And my brain has turned off.

Hopefully things will come back together before I break apart.

I'm tired as hell.

omgmonday

Deadlines make me feel like this.

spring is coming sunday

I think we're done with the snow. It was in the 60s today and it's supposed to be 70 on Tuesday. But it is Colorado, so you never know.

Updates:

I got a real job. Like, no more Office Boy Job. Like, nine to five and health benefits and I'm actually being paid. Which is a nice change. A very, very nice change. (By the way, the Kansas Association still owes me money from work in January. Just sayin).

So, I'm designing for a small, weekly newspaper. It's fun. We have yoga balls and green walls.

In spare time, I'm freelancing across the nation. Georgia, Mass and New York. And here in town. And Indiana. Oh boy. I'm busy.

Real life is tiring. And kind of scary.

monday blast from the past

Well, not-so-distant past…

I have the day off from the Office job and I'm reliving my former Mondays-at-Caribou. One dollar coffee… free refills… Oh yeah.

Working on freelance projects… Oh yeah.

And trying to avoid the gaze of the creeps in front of me… Oh yeah.

sunday workday (kinda)

How come every take-it-easy-night turns into street-meat-burrito-night?

And I'm trying to update my website for 2010.

fml friday

I lost my phone

And found it in the fridge.

And my car got towed.

mlk monday!

HAPPY MLK!

So, MLK Day is my favorite holiday. Hands down. And consequently, I am hungover.

I just Googled Wendy's.

whatta wednesday

Last night, went to the see the bull riders at the stock show. So, naturally, we had to enjoy some Colorado Kool Aid.

And of course that lead to a few more cold banquets at the cowboy bar.

Which evolved into dancing and a contest with the Coors rep girls to win free schwag.

All in all—my bro and I are the proud owners of a Coors box cowboy hat. And a deck of Coors cards. And Coors coozies. And Coors pens. And a Crown Royal boot-shaped shot glass. And a blinking red light. And coup-staging livers.

Which leaves me this evening designing with a giant cup of water (with tigers on it), drinking it out of a twisty monkey straw.

svu saturday

I don't think there is anything better than bowling a 58 under the name "Jenny from Da Block" …

Unless, it's waking up the next morning for a day of coffee, SVU, pizza rolls, Izze drinks and a bit of freelance design.

Ahh…

2010 tuesday

Holy hell. Montana invaded the Mile High for New Years … Ouch.

Happy 2010 everyone! And just remember… "In the end, it's all about enchiladas and hoofjobs"
