Moving is Stressful

June 8th, 2008 -- Posted in Podcasts, Travel, e-life | 1 Comment »

If you’ve ever moved across the country, you know what I’m talking about.  Moving is a huge stress.  Not only do you have to change your address for EVERYTHING (i.e., your bills, the postal service, even your job so you can file your taxes next year…), but you also have to pay lots of money for gas, try to fit all your belongings into a car, and say goodbye to all your close friends.  At least, thats what I had to do, and is it worth it?  Oh yea, totally :)

I just moved to Virginia, USA.  And I love it.  The weather is hot, it’s sunny all the time, and they dont get a lot of rain.  Of course, I haven’t sat through my first hurricane yet…  Everyone is very friendly, and there are a LOT less bible beaters on the east coast than my hometown in Missouri, USA.  It’s a bit of a culture shock, but since I’ve been to North Carolina to visit the family every summer, it’s not too hard to get used to.

Anyone watch Diggnation?  Revision3?  Darren and I just got back from a trip to New York City.  NYC is so expensive!  Gas is almost $4.50  up there, and the cost of a shitty hotel is at least $100/ night.  The show was hilarious.  Darren pushed me into going on stage to be a shot girl for Kevin and Alex..  Everyone there was very nice and welcoming to our little crew.  Needless to say, I can’t wait to visit the Rev3 crew :)

Oh, one last thing.  BARACK THE VOTE!

Flying United is Fun!

…but being surrounded by sorority girls while on this plane is not. Kind of weird, actually. The flight attendant saw the girl beside me wearing greek letters. She goes, “Oh, you’re in blablabla, cool!” Then turns to me and says, “What sorority are you in?” I was like… wtf, are you serious? None. Sorry, I’m not about to throw away my money on a big pretty house to live in, so I can party and deal with drama. Naw, not for me.

hak54.jpgI had a great Spring Break. Full of technolust. Fer realz.

I’m willing to say that Williamsburg Virginia is worth a visit. It’s beautiful. Although, dealing with all the other tourists in kinda a pain in the ass, but what can you do? There is so much colonial history, so many things to experience… Just go there :)

Battlestar Galactica Season 3 just came out on DVD, so Darren got a pre-ordered copy. We basically played couch potato and watched almost the entire season, just in the nick of time for Season 4. It’s been a while since I’ve obsessed about a tv show…

  Rock Band is AWESOME! Just puttin’ that out there.

Much Hak.5 tech lovin went on this week as well. J!NX had a $5 off sale for 3 days, so not only did Ihak52.jpg hak51.jpg spend some cash, but DK pimped his t-shirt on teh site as well. J!NX also started a EXP and Gold membership thing. It’s quite fun! Yay for RPG’s! The taping of episode 3×09 occurred yesterday, all day. We ustreamed all day for viewers. I learned how to use the broadcasting box thing… as well as how filming generally goes for each episode. All in all, the best spring break I’ve ever had!

Spring Break

March 19th, 2008 -- Posted in Travel | 2 Comments »

Spring break begins in a few days, and this is the first one that I’ve actually taken time off work to travel.  For years and years, all I’d do is stay in town and work.  I’d take the extra time off classes to get extra hours at work.  But this year, I’m actually going sbahamas.jpgomewhere.   My roommate James’ sister is getting married to her fiance down in Texas, so I’ll be spending a few days down there.  After that, I’m flying out to Virginia to visit Darren.  I can’t wait, I’m so excited to visit my friends family, then visit my boyfriend and my soon-to-be home.  We’ll have a blast, I’m sure :)

But with all this cold weather, I really want to be on a beach, somewhere warm and toasty, sipping a frozen beverage, enjoying the ocean breeze.  Yay for vacations!
