-Staring at the un-decorated state of my apartment is making me crazy, yet I have no money to buy stuff and have limited creativity to do anything cheaply.
-I stalk the mailbox, and as soon as I hear the mailman shut the door, I'm there. But it's always something lame like a bill or another obnoxious mailer from PETA who can't even spell my name right.
-I also stalk myspace, facebook, blogs, cnn.com, etc, WAAAAY more than is healthy.
-I haven't taken advantage of the time very well and done any sort of cleaning in my apartment. I started on the hall closet yesterday, but only got halfway through. I hate all the junk I have but I can't really decide what to do with it all.
-It's way too cold to sit in my drafty apartment for so many long hours...I just want to be in a nice climate controlled office.
-I really need a schedule, and some income to get me back to the gym or something. The only excercise I get is my fingers on the keyboard or washing the dishes or carrying laundry up the basement stairs. Not enough to keep up with my endless snacking.
In other news...Chicago is a great city. St. Louis is a baby, miniature city. I like them both, but I don't know if I could ever live in Chicago. St. Louis needs to catch up a smidge (aka public transportation/walkable neighborhoods), and then it would be perfect. Ok, maybe not perfect, but better.
Lots of good albums are coming out soon. Most notably for me, Modest Mouse in March. Arcade Fire is coming out soon, Shins is already out (but I don't have it yet), Wilco is in May, and I know there are a few more. It's super exciting, and another reason that I need some income...
At least my tax return comes this week or next. Yippee for cash money that should probably go straight to my credit card bill but will actually be spent on far better things like expensive dinners out, clothes, cds, and maybe some stuff for my apartment.
Finally, I am just going to say that it's totally sad that you can't get normal TV anymore without some crazy roof mounted antenna. I am forced to pay Charter $11.50 a month for local channels, plus a few extra, and they say it's not even their choice to charge that. It's decided by the municipality! What the hell? I thought the municipalities were the ones that provided free TV signals...apparently it's really a big conspiracy to give you a shitty free signal so you are forced to pay. Another thing I will grudgingly do when I get a job, but it will pretty much just be for Cardinals watching on my new fancy couch that I'll buy, too. But I will still feel like a sellout.
