Galivanting Kiki

29 Jun

It’s strange to have nowhere to be in the morning.  I was hanging out with Reisha the other day and on numerous occasions kept thinking that I should probably go home and then finally remembered that I could probably just not go home if I wanted and it would be fine.

CC is here until wednesday.  We’ve been busy partying.  I’ll get to the resume blasting, pavement traipsing once she’s goes.  I’m not even going to try and pretend that I can be serious about my plight with guests and fun to be had.

Tunes:
Dbridge – Reversible Top (track is in player)
Loving this!

Wiley – Wearing My Rolex (Utah Jazz Remix)
I can’t help it.  I love Wiley.  I’m gonna love any dnb remix with his songs. :)

Don’t Sweat It Kiki

23 Jun

I’m back!  Minneapolis was really great.  I love hanging out with my peeps and the wedding was awesome.  Good times.

Summer is here.  It’s ridiculously hot.  Yesterday was 90 and I was sweating my ass off.

Unemployed Kiki

18 Jun

So…  I lost my job yesterday.  Hmmm.  I probably should be a lot more freaked out.  I’m surprisingly not disturbed.  I got a pretty decent severance package.  My bills are paid up.  *shrugs*  I kinda don’t know what else to say.  I’m not sad.  I liked working there but definitely had no aspirations to be a Workers’ Comp  legal assistant for the rest of my life so I guess that’s why I’m not devastated or anything.  It was just a job that paid my bills and let me dick around on the internet all day.  I know the economy is still shit so that should be worrying me but I guess I’m optimistic that something will come along.

I kept saying to myself that I felt a big change coming.  There were too many big events happening in my life for something drastic not to happen.  Roomate moving out etc.  I guess I didn’t think it would be my job though, I felt it would be something more on the mental outlook front.

I don’t have any hard feelings about it.  There weren’t that many new cases coming in.  I was the last one hired so I had to be the first to go.  I am going to miss listening to Bassdrive all day though. ;)

I’m going to Minneapolis today.  I guess I’ll have more of a handle on things when I get back on Monday.

No posts Friday or Monday.  We’ll chat more Tuesday.

Toodles. :)

Stressed Out Kiki

17 Jun

I’m not gonna lie.  I’m kinda frazzled.  I don’t have enough time to do anything and each day since I got back there’s like ten thousand errands to run.  On top of that my roomate moved out yesterday and my flat looks like a squatter lives there so I need to rearrange crap and clean.  All of these things = not fun.  I know it’ll all sort itself out but in the interim it’s still worrisome. :/

So, I will not be updating tomorrow or Friday as I will be in LA.  As much as it irks me to see the calendar with those empty spaces I will grin and bear it.

Carpal Tunnel Kiki

8 Jun

I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome.  Boo.  It is actually more painful and annoying than I had imagined it would be.  I could whine forever but I’ll spare you.

I actually had a pretty good weekend.   Friday was Bass Goes Boom’s second anniversary and 16 Bit were the headliners.  Party boys indeed.  Good times.

Saturday I reconnected with my old old friend as she was passing through Chicago.  I hadn’t seen her in years.  The best friendships are definitely the ones where even though you may not see each other all the time, you are still able to pick up as if you just saw each other the day before. :)

Sunday I spent bumming around with Reisha and Jessica.  Had some drinks, made some food, got a cute clutch at this vintage sale.  Perfectly lazy yet pleasant day.

My L.A. trip is this week.  I’m happy  to get out of Chi.  I keep having the urge to just go on holiday.  Who cares where!  I just want to travel.  I’m obviously just restless.
