Don’t Sweat It Kiki

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.

I’m really busy. Unemployment brings about a lot of tasks to complete, resume, employment agencies etc.  Also my place is a complete tip and my girl CC is coming so that needs to be handled ASAP!

Basically I got to get my ass in gear. 🙂

Unemployed Kiki

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

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. :/

LA Kiki

So I didn’t think I’d have time to write but I guess I have a mo for a quickie post. 🙂

My friend Mollie works for Atlantic Records and she has a meeting so I’m just kicking it in her office until she gets back. 

I sat next to these really annoying children on the plane and I kept having mini hallucinations of strangling them to death.  Fortunately I had the Brother mix below to keep me sane.  Yay.

Gonna meet up with my mum and my cousin and her husband and their adorable little one in a couple of hours. Woot.

Kiki = Lame

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.

Work has been consistently busy and I feel like I’ve just been waiting to get out of here so there really hasn’t been anything exciting or the least bit interesting to tell you.  Boo on Kiki.

Carpal Tunnel Kiki

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.

Rubbish Kiki

Coming in at 6:30 yesterday definitely ruined my day.  I was so tired by the end of the night that I didn’t even stay for Amaning’s set at Shakedown… Therefore I am indeed rubbish.  I did go to Twisted Spoke with Juju, Bisl and Christina T before hand though and that was nice.  You know I like to sit around and kick it all day erryday.

This week has gone by mighty fast.  I think I spent so much time focusing on it not being as fun as my weekend was that the days just flew by.  Awesome.

Hwilde suggested that I should have categories for how old my oldies are.  I declined.  My criteria for oldies is that it basically can’t be made this year.  2008 is still too new to and 2007 is pushing it.  If I put a 2007 it’s cuz I’m stumped for the day. 😉

I have no idea who this is.  Found the mix on DOA.  It’s nice to listen to mixes that don’t have the same stuff on it.  Good range of tracks.
