Shiny New Adult Life

New apartment
New job (almost)
New roommate
New city (suburb really)
New bed

Summer is here
What am I still doing in Minnesota?
Exploring
That's exactly what I'm doing
Exploring
Finding my calling
Teaching (or trying to)

The weather here is gorgeous here, really
You should join me!
I should spend more time outside
I had the afternoon off and didn't know what to do with it
So I took a nap
And watched Designing Women, and Sex and the City, and Mad about You
And then read a girly novel
And listened to my iPod
It was wonderful

It's my shiny new adult life
What do you do with your time?

Enough Said.

Life.
Amazing.
Damian Lewis.
Hot Redhead.
Enough Said.

A Blast from the Past, take IV

In a recent conversation with a housemate at a Halloween Party, I came to the realization that I am quite a bit older than the majority of my housemates.

Me: Clever costume, I love foxes!
PumpkinMaster Housemate: Thanks! It's all vintage and completely under $3.
Me: Great. You know, the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of the fox from Zoobilee Zoo. What's his name? Oh...Bravo! That's it! Bravo the Fox!
PumpkinMaster Housemate: (stares blankly) Uh...who's that? What's Zoobilee Zoo?

This is when I realized that yes, I must be older than dirt. This girl was a mere junior at Augsburg College, putting her birth year at roughly 1988 or 1989. Yikes! Of course she wouldn't remember such a gem of a show. How silly of me to remember and bring it up in casual convsersation at such a Halloween Party. So, to educate the masses of youngsters out there, I have included a clip. Enjoy.



Who was your favorite character? I was always a fan of the journalistic, scholarly cockateil (though she was rather annoying at second glance) and the leopard at the anchor desk.

Why am I posting again? Oh yeah, because I don't want to work on my NOVEL. Damn it. Back to work. Help.
