New house, new bed, same roommates

Well, we moved into our permanent (read: 5 month) residence tonight. I have fish prep at 6am tomorrow, so I should go to sleep. My new bedroom is attached to 2 bathrooms and the kitchen (by a nifty little hatch. I can have breakfast shoved thru to me OR order an alcoholic beverage from the live-in bar tender [I wish]) I'll put up pictures or something some time. Until that day arrives, goodnight everyone, and stay classy.

Hawaii

Well, I've made it. I've been here for just over a week now, and things are going pretty damn well. Email me if you want any specific details. Work is going pretty well, but my feet are too big and they don't have any boots to fit me, so I'm not allowed to do fish prep until they get some size 13's. There are a few new facebook pictures for those of you who are part of that. Right now we're camping on the floor of Uncle Joe's (don't ask, he's a local hero and a nice guy) and we get to move into our beach house the 25th. "Beach House" is a bit of a mis-gnomer (GNOME SORCERY!) because to be fair, the place is a good 100 yards from the beach. Let me tell you, that's a really long way. There are mountains and an ocean, my two favorite terrain types. I need to try to hike up to the top of the mountains in our back yard, but they are extremely steep. Anyway, more to come when we move into the house.

Los Angeles

Well, I made it LA, and it is big. I'm visiting with Mr. Roo and Miss Sally, and I swam in the new ocean. New ocean is cold. Pictures for those of you who know these wonderful peoples. I leave for Hawaii tomorrow and get there about 6pm east coast time and noon my (new) time. Sleep deprivation makes for odd grammer.

Update

Batman: The Dark Knight = Awesome. That is all.

Leaving Town

Last post from Miami folks. Tonight is officially my last night in Florida. I've quit my job, packed my car, cleaned my room, and sold my furniture to my roommate. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to try to turn in my C-pass (it gets me thru the toll gates to get over the bridge to work) for my $40 deposit back, and start heading north. Googlemaps says that it's a 16 hour drive from here to Spencer, WV. Excitement shall ensue.

The Plan
July 16-17th: Drive from Miami-->West Virginia
July 18th: Ride/Drive with parents from West Virginia-->Pennsylvania
July 20-26th: Camp with family in Canada
July 26-Aug.7th-ish: Visit people in the greater northeast area; family, friends, and enemies.
Aug.7th: Fly to Seattle or Los Angeles, depending on several factors
Aug. 8th: Visit people at aforementioned location.
Aug. 9th: Fly to Hawaii, move into new place, start looking for a job.
Aug. 11th: Start my full time, unpaid job. (Don't worry, they give me free lunch)

That is a tentative itinerary for those of you who care.

Alliterative adjectives: An Ode to the Hamburger

when caddy children contract cholera there comes a consensus to continue the course to carry the cuisine that captures the concentration of cattle. this meaty mass that's masticated manfully by many mouths manages to make most masculine of men mumble. bread begins the basic barrier that bars the burger from bursting. this circular singularity cinches the scrumptious center from sliding and slipping while wrapping this wondrous wealth with wheat. the ketchup is kept in the cupboard in the kitchen and mustard is made by many-a-maid. pickles are placed with precision and pride while lettuce is left to languish. tomato tops this tasty tower.

Two Weeks

I just put in my two week resignation notice at work today. Why I'm quitting a job that I like that has a future and that pays me, I'm not sure, but I'm moving to Hawaii. Moving to work at a 5 month temporary job that may or may not hire me permanently when it's done. But hey, I get to work with sea lions.

p.s. Make any and all checks out to Justin Mertz. I'm going to need some money for this one.
