SO, i'm sitting and sipping a rum & coke as i listlessly page through job listings that look like this: *RECENT COLLEGE GRADZ!!*~MARKETING & EVENT REPRESENTATIVES~LOOK NOW!*
uggggh. aforementioned dream job, call me now, kthnx.
anyways, all things considered, things are pretty awesome. i've begun working on my freelance piece this week- a.k.a i've visited almost every ethnic market and grocery in the area...pretty sweet for being only semi-employed. i'm not going to lie- i did feel a bit awkward as a tiny irish/italian/english gal walking into these asian, greek, russian, german, and indian markets since a lot of them really cater mainly to those nationalities, but was so happy that once i waltzed up to the owners and explained what the heck i was doing there, they were all more than happy to answer my questions. i'm kinda pissed that i didn't buy some baklava today, though- i'll have to make a return trip.
while i love fall (by fall i basically mean apple pie/crisp), i'm seriously in denial about the temperature lowering drastically right now. i did the memory walk around downtown manchester for the alzheimer's foundation last weekend because my mom volunteers for them, and i had to bring out the scarf and a jacket. MAKE IT STOP.
OH, and one of my lifelong dreams (actually, only two-year-long dreams) came true this past weekend, when kat and i decided to go out to this bar and lounge in nashua that we had never been to. when i looked it up, it turned out that former rockstar: supernova contestant and local new hampshire musical darling, josh logan, was performing there that night...watch that video and you'll see why- dude can SING. and he's damn hot, too. now, i've been intentionally trying to see him since he was kicked off the show, since he performs around here every week, but finally the fates aligned and i got to sip my not-so-great midori sour and witness the man's brilliance firsthand. love him.
now i'm not one to get all political, but i can't wait 'til this election is over. NObama, y'all, is all i have to say. clueless without a teleprompter, and waaaay scarier than the alternative, tbh. i'm not a conservative, but just romney needs to get his ass into the 2012 race, stat. or into this race, for that matter.
okay, i just made a list of areas i'm seriously thinking of moving in no particular order because i need a change. thoughts, please?
Las Vegas, NV
West Palm Beach, FL
Atlanta, GA
Baltimore, MD
Charlotte or Raleigh, NC
Philadelphia, PA
Providence, RI
Charleston, SC
Roanoke, VA
Nashville, TN

Um, Nashville, obviously! Here's a pro/con list, as I see it, anyway.
Pros: cheap living expenses, lots of unique-to-the-city type places (and ethnic places!), warm weather, parks, plenty of trendy hotspots, and tons of night life (and family friendly! I can't tell you how many moms with strollers I see walking down Broadway at 10 pm).
Cons: the night life is mostly country related, the term "music city" really only applies if you add the word "country" to the front of it, high redneck population, people can't drive for shit (they're seriously worse than Mass drivers), 9.25% sales tax, oppressively hot in the summer, a fair amount of violent crime (mostly in specific areas, which newcomers don't really know, and it tends to be on a block-by-block basis), and believe it or not, booze is way cheaper in NH.
I like it here well enough, although I generally don't go out much, so I'm not the best judge of night life. I'm a big fan of all the parks (especially dog parks!) and all the unique-to-Nashville places.
haha, i knew i could count on you for an in-depth nashville analysis...thanks! it sounds like a great city and i've seen/read so much about it lately. i decided that fleeing right now because of lack of jobs here is probably not going to help no matter where i go, but i'm thinking in a year or two, i'm totally packing up and going somewhere totally random :)
romney, kim? seriously?
I'm disappointed
yes, seriously...certainly don't agree with his views on gay marriage or (questionably) abortion, but he could do a hell of a lot more to address the economic situation right now than obama and mccain combined :)
