Hi from Georgia

For some reason, The Tallest Man on Earth seems like the most appropriate soundtrack to my life right now. 

I bought a car

I bought a car today. A blue Prius. It was expensive, but I'm so excited to have bought it. Probably my first real "adult" purchase. Exciting, right?

Yup. I never thought I'd be one to name a car, but it's my TARDIS.

I've been in a strangely nostalgic mood. I think it comes from the fact that I came to the sad realization that it's almost been ten years since I started college. Whatever the reason, I've found that I've been listening to a lot of music out of sentimentality more than anything else and falling in love with songs that I fell in love with years before.

I'd been looking for an excuse to make get myself to blog regularly in my Music & Jjigae blog and I think I've found a project. I'm going to chronicle the soundtrack to my life for every year from 1999 to today. I'm going back to 1999. We'll see how that goes.

iPod

I found my iPod. I lost it in my dad's car when we were driving back from Santa Barbara Memorial Day weekend. It was nestled between the driver's seat and the divider. The last month without it has been a sad one, so I'm glad I found it. I got myself a smaller tablet with the idea that I would be able to consolidate my devices, but crazy person in me had a hard time living without a device that carries 160 gb.

Glad to be reunited

Another night where I'm up late for no apparent reason.

I cleaned though. That's a rarity.

Going to try an experiment tomorrow morning. I'll let you know if I succeed.

So I know it's outdated, but I wonder how long it'd take me to learn the Animaniacs Nations of the World song. I actually have about a verse and a half down. Out of four. Which isn't bad.

True fact: That show was how I've been able to name all the US presidents since the 6th grade.

I want to revive Music & Jjigae because I really enjoyed keeping that blog up to date last year. I've been so busy with work that I feel like I haven't been doing anything work blogging about though. Hm.

I kind of miss being on top of the music scene. Kind of lost it because it takes so much work. Also, I'm old and grumpy and get mad at hipsters at shows now.

I'm starting a mini purge of clothes. It's only a mini purge because I'm bad at getting rid of clothes...

Anyway, in my pile was a coat that I got in 2006 or something. I had a hard time getting rid of it. It wasn't that I wear it particularly often (or at all), but I just thought the story behind it was funny.

I was on one of my weird kicks where I was doing a mini "say yes" project based on the book Yes Man by Danny Wallace (which was also made into a forgettable Jim Carey movie). I happened to be at the Irvine Spectrum on a particularly cold fall night and bought that coat because that was what they asked me at the store when I tried it on.

Clearly, it didn't take me long to figure out that the plan would not end well.

Okay. Maybe that's not an exciting story. Just one of those stories that makes me miss the carefree days of college.

In any case, it's in my donation pile.

Happy Easter.

We built a fence this weekend. It didn't end up looking too bad.

And now I sleep. Another early morning for a 6 am call :(
