So, a lot has been going on in this blogger's life lately and I've been all mixed up and not knowing what to do! I've got a new pimp job (pimp being an adjective describing my job and, you know, not a noun) and a sweet ass new apartment with my good friend Shayna (and there I actually mean exposed posterior... we're in apartment 311which is the police code for indecent exposure! And everyone just went ahhhh....not clever! about my earlier 311 reference...or any of it really.) I've just not had time for much posting on here. Fear not...this site was too much of an invenstment to slack off on for too long, and I can't let Shan's super wonderful design go to waste now can I?

So, hopefully you will understand if I don't update as consistently as I would like (especially in the next couple of weeks during the big move! Who knows when I'll get my internet back up and running). But hear you me, I have not forgotten about you.

Anyway, I'm not the only one getting ready for a big move. My good dear friend Mel is making the move to Seattle. Mel is good at picking out cool clothes for me to wear and going on road trips to NY to see Damien Rice! I'm sad she is leaving, but that's fine because when she lives far away she sends me stuff in the mail and it makes me feel special. I know she will be very happy there with her boyfriend and her fattest cat in the world.

I made her about 5 mix CDs for the drive. Most of them are happy, party, lets-drive-and-feel- the-sun-and-eat-hawaiian-shaved-(heh)-ice and be glad that life is so wonderful kind of music. But, of course, I had to make one album that is at least a little tiny bit sad/depressing/guilt inducing on the off chance she decides to stay and help me shop for more cool clothes! But I couldn't even make that as stupid sad bastards as I usually do, because I really am so happy for her. And also, some of the songs are about romantic relationships. Please take them out of context like I did! So, in honor of moving, here is that playlist full of songs about moving (or just moving songs):
