bon iver! |

here's how i discovered i love bon iver:
i found rainn wilson's twitter account.
i read the tweet where he said I was recently turned on to 'Bon Iver'. His song "re: stacks" is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard in my life. Give him money.
i found the song on youtube.
i found more of his music on youtube.
love.
i bought an album on itunes (just one though! i do have some self control).
anyway. we're supposed to be looking at that apartment on saturday. i hope it doesn't suck, because it's the only one i've found so far that's available when we need it and i just hate apartment hunting. and i would like to be able to give our landlords 60 days notice if we're moving. but i don't think said apartment has a dishwasher and darren says that's a dealbreaker, because he hates doing dishes. i say quit being a wuss, it's not that hard to clean up after yourself. i hate laundry but i do it because i have to. same diff, right? a totally shitty kitchen is absolutely a dealbreaker, but not simply a lack of dishwasher. i grew up without one (well, we had one, but it was broken when we moved in and never bothered to have it fixed). darren has always had one. he's spoiled.
yeah. so. moving on. i had my "90" day review today. i have two hire dates at this job which is weird, but either way it's been well over 90 days since i started (i started on september 8 but my official hire date is october 20 because of some corporate hullabloo that i never quite understood). there's actually a lot of crazy transition happening right now because of the way corporate wants us to do things. it's mostly so they can track our accounting better. no big deal in the long run, but people are kind of in a tizzy about it right now. just a little. so it goes. um, the review went well. my boss is awesome. just a couple areas that i already knew i needed to work on.
i'm seeing cloud cult in may. the day after my birthday. darren will come with me and buy me beerz for my birthday present (actually, his coming with me is the big present because he doesn't like cloud cult. my attempts to convert him have not succeeded. darren is too metal for indie rock. i don't know how our relationship has managed to survive [just kidding]). it's 2 1/2 months away but i say i'm allowed to be excited.
and this gym membership is working! i'm getting skinny again and nothing's going to stop me, except maybe the taco salad i've eaten for dinner two nights in a row. i can't help it, i love food! which is why i needed to join the gym in the first place.
things is good, yes sir. haphazard update over!
