Hot, Fresh Dog Shit and the Gay Bar

I'm hopefully very close to securing some kind of job.  Fingers crossed.

The closest bar to our house is Swallows, a gay bar.  It's also a "Video Lounge," but all that means is that there are several plasma-screen TVs that play music videos.  They take requests, but unfortunately the selection isn't too huge.  These are two songs that they have, and that we always request when we go.

Obviously, we have to request "Bossy."





Of course.  But here's a video that I discovered the first time we went.

Benny Bonasi:  "Spaceship."  (Featuring Kelis)




Ridiculous.

Nuke 'Em High

Watched this with room mate Darrin tonight on VHS.  I think it's available on Hulu.  I'd recommend it, even though it has a disappointing about of titties.

I've been in Denver over a month now.  Still unemployed, but hopefully that situation will change soon with some money-making scheme I'm planning.  Legit work, but still a scheme while I'm getting the resources together to get it going.

I'm doing better with my homesickness.  Moving from Iowa to Colorado was hard, but something that was totally necessary.  I always knew that I couldn't stay in Iowa City forever.  I knew I would probably have to leave Iowa.  I've left close friendships, a job, and a predictable schedule that kept me in a safe zone where I never had to worry about what I was going to do tomorrow, next week, and next year.

That's only one way of examining things, though.  Every year I had friends leave town.  Even the friends I left don't plan on being there much longer.  My job was going to come to an end after i graduated because it was a work-study position.  And the job could be extremely stressful.  Rewarding, but stressful.  Lastly, I was burning out with school really fast.  I've been going to school my entire life and am tired of doing homework and staying up all night writing papers.

I  think know that I'll be less mopey when I have an income again and some kind of job to fill my days.  Being broke has a way of getting me down.  Who knew.  I've had a lot of fun here so far, especially this last weekend that included the gay bar by my house, a metal show that gave me gnarly looking bruises (and featured me in my bra in a werewolf mask with an upside-down cross made of duct tape on my stomach) and long walks in the city park with Darrin's dog, Larry.

Yeah yeah.  Hopefully soon this blog will start featuring cool things like pictures and videos (maybe music, maybe) so when someone visits it they'll have more to do than read about my dumbass feelings.
