Got a place

I found a place. Close to work, very nice, new appliances and carpet.. in apartment washer and dryer... oh, and did I mention it comes with a beach?

That's right! The complex that I'm now a part of has its own private beach. Also, a boat dock. But since I don't have a boat, that is no biggie. But a beach. Wow.

I'm really excited about this place. A little pricer then I'd have ideally wanted, but the location is fantastic and the other few places I looked at were close to the same price, much farther away.. and one had a really really scary landlady. Three words: too much makeup.

Anyways, I'll be moving up here next week. Holy crap.

Oh, and I have a beach.

Chicago

In Chicago.. looking for places.

In other news, places are expensive.

I'll post pictures once I've found a place that suites me.

Wheee... holy crap!

Moving

Just to keep everyone updated. As of July first I'll be located in Chicago, IL working at Javelin Bicycles. I'm quite stoked about this and am glad to no longer be tied to my lovely job here in LR.

So yeah, if you are in the area drop me a line. Doubt this will happen but I like to leave the option open. Next couple weeks is going to be sort of hectic. Need to wrap up everything here. Need to find an apartment somewhere near Chicago.. need to move all my crap up there. Fun times indeed.

So yeah, I still don't believe it.

Diet vs. Regular

So, which is better? Diet or regular? I've given up drinking soda, but personally I never had a problem drinking diet anything. In fact, I disliked regular Coke if I had to drink it.

Anyways, I saw something curious today. I was waiting in the little kiosk (I love that word) at work waiting for my food and I woman had a creative answer to the above question. She just mixed half a cup of diet pepsi with regular pepsi.

Honestly, I'd never have thought of this. So I have to give props to the clever woman.

On the other hand, she would have been better off if she had stuck with an entire cup of diet, if you get my drift. Also, a salad rather than slice of pizza.. and a walk up the one flight of stairs to her floor rather than an elevator ride.

Do women have to look like they do in magazines? No.. most of those women are slightly scary to be honest. But if you have trouble fitting through a door, perhaps it is time to think about a healthier lifestyle, and this doesn't mean half a glass of diet pepsi with your regular.

Dive Bombed

Walking into work the other day something flew close to my head. I turned around and saw nothing. Kept walking, and it happened again. This time I noticed that it was a bird swooping down trying to attack the back of my head. I suppose there was a nest close by. I watched a few other people walk in after me. It was quite amusing watching other people get dive bombed too.

When I was walking back to my car (and avoiding the bird who was still trying to kill me it seemed) I noticed a little fledgling baby bird wandering around the base of one of the trees. Clearly what the father/mother bird was trying to protect. Doing quite a good job keeping people away.

Ok, that is all.
