How glorious it has been to not spend so much time looking for and thinking about a new job. It became a ritual, really: combing countless employment Web sites, not to mention the Sunday World-Herald.

Every single day.

But not anymore.

Woo hoo!

It was so lovely last night that Matthew and I grilled steaks for dinner. Delicious. Tasty. Tender. Juicy. Full of flavor.

Today’s run (non-stop): 37 minutes! I feel fantastic this morning.

And we’re grilling steaks for dinner tonight. Yum :-)

P.S. Just three days remain at Nu-Trend. Yippee!

For the first time in a long time, I ran without stopping for 32 minutes this morning. Hooray!

Here’s my article in the latest issue of Voice of the New City on One Percent Productions. Enjoy.

Rock on.

A few updates…

(1) The Modest Mouse show Tuesday night was anything but modest. Sold out. Loud music. Lots of dancing. Not quite one of my Top 10 Shows of 2005, but an enjoyable evening nonetheless.

(2) Found out yesterday my ’94 Acura is on its last legs and requires close to $1,300 in repairs. Hello, new Honda.

(3) T-minus 17 days until I begin my new job! I need to think about shopping for a few new items to add to my work wardrobe.

(4) I haven’t been to the Y since Monday. I’m going this morning, though. Yes, yes I am.

(5) Still thinking about an iPod shuffle. Especially when I read about this yesterday.

(6) Blue Bunny’s vanilla pear yogurt is my new favorite food. That, and honey roasted peanuts. Yum.

Egad.

This is quite possibly the gravest abuse of Web design I have seen as of late.

Tuesdays have become like a regular person’s Saturday or Sunday. A day to accomplish the smaller projects that can’t be done during the work week. Now that I’ll have an actual weekend, I’ll be able to finish those tasks at that time.

So far this morning, I have organized my closet; bagged up a few items to take to the Goodwill; and listed a few things on eBay. A busy bee am I.

Today, it’s work, as well as stops at the bank, post office and Goodwill. And perhaps a stop at the grocery store for milk and yogurt.

Tonight: Modest Mouse!

On behalf of Matthew, I’m selling this and this.
