Seems lately there isn’t much to write about here about me. I could go on and on about how happy I am, how busy I am, how [insert perpetually repeated item off blog here]. It’s getting a bit repetitive and it’s getting a bit old.

So instead, I’m going to blow the dust off a time-honored tradition of unleashing the snark on a news item from today’s paper.

Yesterday, there was a big “OMG SCARE!!!1!!!one!!” at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport because someone found the “makings of a bomb” in a returned rental car on Sunday morning. A quote:

The device, which was loose in the compartment, included tubes, wires and shrapnel, airport officials said.

“It had the makings of a bomb” but didn’t include explosives, said Pat Hogan, airport spokesman.

OMGWTFBBQFTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Power Yoga DVD at home – one of two yoga DVD’s that I own. I usually do the other one (Yoga for Weight Loss) because it’s great for stretching out and unknotting my perpetually knotted muscles.

I’m quite sporadic with my Yoga-ing – but due to other factors, I’m not able to run right now so I decided to pop in good ol’ Rodney Yee to give me a good workout.

Dear god. I am so sore today.

So far, the second week of my new job has been great. The fuzzy-headed lack of coherent thought due to information overload is subsiding somewhat.

I’m definitely having instant messenger withdrawal, though. I feel so disconnected from my friends now.

I need some down time for myself and I really need to get back onto a schedule to work out. Sure, I like the activity and going out with friends – but my brain is overloaded with everything and it needs to reset. Either that or I truly am a hermit at heart – where I’m more than content to stay at home on a Friday night or just do nothing.

I need to find a solution to the coffee problem here at work.

My old office had Starbucks coffee (for free!) and a plethora of flavored and unflavored coffee creamers (also free!). My one daily cup of coffee consisted of this wonderful Starbucks coffee with French Vanilla liquid coffee creamer.

Side Note: What you may not know about my coffee drinking habits:
1. Unless I brew it myself, I need coffee creamer.
2. I cannot stand powdered coffee creamer.
3. I cannot stand plain coffee creamer – needs to have a flavor.
4. Sweetener is optional, depending on how toxic the coffee is (see: Diner Coffee).

I haven’t had time to make a post lately – between the new show schedule, the part-time job and now the new job, there just hasn’t been time!

I finally got my own desk and computer yesterday afternoon – so I have really been out of the loop for about a week.

The going away party last week was great. Tim got to meet a lot of former co-workers and friends of mine, which was great. I’m going to miss (some of) the people there, but I sure as hell won’t miss the job.
