Know what?
August 11th, 2007
I’m feeling pretty good right now. I’m sore, of course- well, not the ow ow ow sore but more the limber relaxed I love the feeling when I stretch sore. To explain, I went dancing wednesday, gym cardio thursday, Weights, Volleyball and dancing last night, and this morning I went skating again. I’m slowly but surely (well, ok, more like bowl over with freight train) getting to know this city, and though it’s different it’s still all good- I like what I’m finding here, though I know there are a lot of people out there who would call it boring. It doesn’t have the grit that Pittsburgh does, instead it has…. well, the vibe I’m getting so far is a bit difficult to describe- It’s noisy and indistinct, because at the moment I’m still surrounded by the trappings of corporate life (corp housing, office in trendy district, commute through downtown) that tend to gum things up. I got a really good read last night, but without a few more weeks of really getting a sense for the place I’m not going to try to describe it. I wonder if there’s a parade on Labor Day…
Large broad-swath life update coming in the next 48. I promise! I know I’m already a week late with it, but it’s kinda hard to find the time to write right now. I’m really enjoying my job, it’s presenting me not only with a challenge but also with an environment and a pace I’m used to without having to seek it out outside of work (read: It’s a little hectic, but it’s moving in a consistent, predictable direction). I also got a bit of a brainfuck question asked of me last night that threw me for a loop and needs quite a bit more thought before I put it down.
Plans today: Go to work, get far enough to check in everything, then transfer things to my laptop and hang out in Schiller park until the free Shakespeare starts (Maybe swing by the neat looking WHOLE BLOCK bookstore I found just north of there. Maybe get ice cream. Maybe go dancing instead, I don’t know yet. Tomorrow I’m going to find a good place to buy my CorporateWear (TM) from (which is surprisingly similar to my Dance Wear), find the bigass gaming store around here and see if they will take my used books, probably do some more work probably find the time to put another run on my skates in.
Oh, and for some reason, I dehydrate here a _lot_ easier. I guess the lack of rivers means I lose more moisture when I breathe, but when I got a stabbing dehydration headache this morning during my skating for the third time I realized something had to change. RIGHT! I also need to find a map of all the bike trails around here, there are _tons_ of them and I am convinced there’s an easy commute from my new apartment to work. And perhaps a farm co-op (if they still take subscriptions this late in the year).
Off to go work. Toodles!
