so about that blizzard

so about that blizzard...didn't venture out in it. i listened to npr allllllll day and there were so many accidents everywhere, but especially the highways. Apparently they don't plow the highways well...ever...or until it's done snowing, it's a brilliant cost-effective move, yet cripples he city because no one knows how to drive in it. i brushed 6inches off my car at 7:30am, and another 8-9inches at 7pm! I had to shovel my car out to move it across the street. so needless to say the birthday weekend surprise visit didn't happen :( my good friend was waiting for flights and each one was cancelled and my other friend said it was even bad for Syracuse! Luckily, I will be Albany bound in a month...yay!

so last night my baby took me out for a birthday dinner, anywhere you want he said! so i said sushi please! it was amazing to say the least! we also indulged in some hot sake, which was a first for me....mmmm...and homemade mocchi ... Plum House THANK YOU!

Birthday Blizzard '11

I like to call this Birthday Blizzard '11. I like dramatic. So before 8am Rochester already had 6inches of snow and we are expecting 12+. Sounds like a great time to cuddle up with a cup of hot cocoa, but I think I'll be venturing out. A few errands to run, then we'll see how good my snow tires really are!

less than a week

until my birthday. so this year I am a little passive regarding the whole thing, but it will be fun. revised plan includes a trivia night or something chill.

happy weekend.
things are looking up!

hello February

Last week we tried out a favorite store that sell specialty beer from Poland to Austria to Maine! It's called Beers of the World. The only thing that would make this store better is if it was also a bar. Currently enjoying a Session Black from Oregon, funny little bottle seems like it should contain rubbing alcohol, but it's quite good.

The Internship is going well, clients are increasing and the word is getting out! only 2 or 3 open time slots left!!! Get 'em while they're hott!

There's always more homework or housework to be doing, but tomorrow is a chill day for me, generally speaking. reading, graduate assistantship, paper writing, and maybe some housework.

Not really looking forward to my birthday this year. It's a different kind of year, already has a different feel to it. Maybe it's the new town, new life, transition, or maybe it's just the increasing number. As I like to say...I'm 25 and holding! Contemplating catching a hockey game with some close friends, or maybe a game night at the apartment? Either way, I'm diggin' the black hair and bangs! It speaks to me right now. Maybe I'm grasping onto my youth or maybe I'm just me.

update

it's been far too long and far too many things have occurred to blog about. homework is a sea of times new roman letters, size 12 font, swirling through my brain and pouring out my eyes. i have to take a break from it to let it soak in.

i miss having a paycheck, i think i've said that. i miss even looking forward to the paycheck, seemed to get me through the 2week block. now i drive and drive and gas up and nothing. my internship has started and is kickin up speed. so much so that i wonder how i will accomplish everything.

i have punk rock hair, says dre. i feel like i am wearing a wig. i don't recognize myself in storefront windows, yet the reflection is mine. i like change, but it'll take a few days to get used to bangs and black, straight hair. i call it my 29th year crisis. almost...

i wish i were still kickboxing with my trainer. i think i need to paint. i have an idea for my next piece...it'll have a johnny cash meets johnny thunder feel.
