What's New? Road Trip!

Tonight begins my 5,000 mile road trip! My friend Josh and I are getting into my 2008 Toyota Matrix after I get off of work. We'll be driving from Tallahassee, FL, straight to Boulder, CO, on I-70 (through Missouri & Kansas). We're estimating that to be a 25 hour stretch. Then after a day or two in Boulder, we go to Moab, UT, and finish up around Las Cruces, NM, before heading back on I-10.

Going on a Cruise

It would seem that I am going on a cruise in late October. This will be my first ever cruise. We are leaving out of Miami for 7 days around the eastern Caribbean.

The trip was masterminded by Nick and Roberta, my married friends who live in D.C., and I will (quite unfortunately) be going unaccompanied. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to a great time and an even greater bill.

If anyone has been on a cruise, I'd love some pointers. I'm a noob.

Falling Off The Edge Of The World

People throw around the word "neglect" so much that it loses all meaning. Yeah, yeah, I haven't updated this blog in a month or so. I feel your pain. I just haven't had a whole heck of a lot to update about. Here's a real brief overview of what's been going on:

(1) Work is the same, good or bad. I'm settling in to the day-to-day patterns.

(2) I went to visit some friends in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area one weekend this past month, and I spent some time contemplating a move up there. I'm still thinking very seriously of it, and more to be updated on that subject later on.

If only I could find my feet, I could drive

Hrm, let's ignore the fact that I neglected this blog for the entire month of March. Time for one of my marathon bi-monthly updates in which I try to bring everyone up to speed with my goings-on.

Yeah, I'm just not good at this.

Every few weeks or so, I remember that I have a blog here. There's only a handful of people who read this, but that doesn't mean I should treat you like second-class citizens, right? Exactly. Yeah, I'm just not good at this.

August Update

I'm just not good at this three blog thing. I apologize for not updating this one much lately.

We are now in the month of August, so allow me to quickly hit all the marks for July:

I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2, and hated it.

My grandfather came to visit in July. It was really nice to see him, and I hope he can return again soon and/or that I can go up to Virginia to visit.

Indiana Trip Recap

Hrmm... where to start? There's so much to talk about, and only an hour for lunch. Let's tackle the obvious: I visited Bloomington last week. Those of you that I have listed as friends got the distinct pleasure of hearing my phone posts (and reading the transcriptions), but I'll summarize here for you more-anonymous readers.

Back from Indiana

I'm back in Tallahassee as of 9pm Saturday. Comprehensive blogging will be .. tomorrow? Yeah, tomorrow.

Leaving for Indiana

Turning off the computer now. My LiveJournal readers will have some phone posts later that I hope some of you have the patience to transcribe for others. Best wishes.
