I went on a date tonight. It went well. That is all.

The party last night was pretty fun, though I got stupid drunk and acted, well, stupid. Unfortunately, I don't remember certain things too well, but overall it was good.

I did, however, make the mistake of making a drunken speech to "the girl" about how I've had "a thing" for her for a long time and blah blah blah. I'm pretty sure I made an...

Tomorrow night (or, technically, tonight, since I suppose it is now Saturday morning), I'm going to a birthday party for a girl I've had a "thing" for pretty much since I met her. It's always been a kind of back burner thing, because I've been involved with other people, or been in "a weird place at the moment."

Now, I'm in a good place, and...

I recently "reconnected' with an old friend from high school. She's been living in Oz for the past 4.5 years, and is married to a dude from down under (though, she met him here in Edmonton, I think). It's been cool talking to her. Life moves on so quickly. She was the first girl I ever REALLY kissed (the girl in Kindergarten doesn't count)...and now...

I went on the first first-date I've been on in a long time. It was...mediocre.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything special. There was no attraction--a feel that I suspect is mutual. Our conversation, while not boring, was banal. We had a good meal and a decent conversation, and then parted ways after just under two hours.

I know it's a Tuesday, but I...

I bought a new TV yesterday. As I cannot afford a flat panel TV, I bought a big ol' tube TV. Since tube TVs are fucking huge and awkward, I managed to damage my entertainment center as I lifted the TV on top of it. But, at least I have a TV again. Besides, it's nothing a little paint won't fix...assuming I can find a...

Things are looking up again. Getting through the tough times are what love is all about, I suppose. Tomorrow: CUBA!

Sage Francis' new album Human the Death Dance is fucking incredible. Buy TWO copies when it comes out.

In other news, I smoked a nice maduro tonight, and then...a silent night.

Magazines: DWELL and GOOD. I will do some kind of review on them later.

For now, just know that I am in the running for a writing gig (online marketing writer). I'm hoping that I get this job for a whole lot of reasons, not least of which being that it will be a hell of a lot more interesting than the crap I do...

I'm applying for jobs today. After spending some time revamping my resume, I'm now on to the cover letter stage. I've got two positions I'm trying for. One is a communications (assistant) position with a large trucking company. I've taken a look at the company website and everything I've seen is shouting, "Yes!" as far as whether or not I'd enjoy the job if I...
