So my blog hasn’t been super posty for a while.  The main reason is that I wanted to give my post about Dr. Davaran some time at the top of the page.  My traffic has shot way up because of that post and while I always like getting more traffic, it makes me happy because I think it says something about just how great he was.

Also, to be honest, I haven’t been posting because most of what I would write about would be a certain [insert favorite curse word here] roommate and his [insert another favorite curse word here] moods.  Dude lays on his butt all day watching movies that he streams over the internet (slowing down the connection making it hard for me to work) and then complains about how hard it is to find a decent job.  Will and I have both been sending him links to job postings on Monster, Craigslist, Carrerbuilder, OregonLive–you name it and all of the listings are either too hard, too far away, too boring sounding or don’t pay enough (he won’t go to work for less than $13 or $14 an hour).

Somebody please adopt this mofo.

I’ve started journaling–something that I haven’t done very much of since I started my blog.  I know I can vent on the internet but a) it will get boring after a while, if it isn’t already and b) I firmly believe that I shouldn’t blog about anything that I wouldn’t feel totally comfortable saying to someone else’s face.  For example, if [curse word curse word] roommate were to come out here right now and say “did you call me a mofo on your blog?” I’d respond with “yeah, did you miss the part where I called you lazy too?”  But with the journal I can bitch and moan and whine about just about everything and not have to worry about boring people or incurring the wrath of aforementioned mofo.  Will tells me that I can vent to him all I want and need but…he loves me and he’s a fixer and I’d rather save up my “you will never guess what he did” for a time when the sentence isn’t finished with “he spent all day lying around AGAIN!”  It is quite a relief to have a place of my own to do just that.  And it is saving us money too because my Tums consumption has gone down considerably in the few days since I started journaling again.

But don’t worry, I won’t neglect you oh faithful bloggy friends.

And I will leave you with some happy news.  With any luck and barring a meteor shower or other disaster, we might have found our wedding venue!  I don’t want to put a link to it up yet because we haven’t signed any contracts or paid any deposits yet, but once we do that I’ll be sharing a lot!
