before i say anything else, let me say that The Hold Steady are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. the Almost killed Me record is as pretty close to awesome as one can hope to get. if you're into that sort of thing that is.
so, i lasted at my new job for a whole two days before i hung it up and headed back to safeway where i will be hired back at my old journeyman wage which will bring some MUCH needed income into this broke-ass house we currently live in.
i have to interview again but it's just a formality and i hope to be starting as soon as monday. cross your fingers though as this household has been hurting in the luck department for far too long.
in other exciting news, i have a shit load of new music to get to, but what else is new? this is the hell of the music fanatic. i also cleaned the shit out of my kitchen closet today keeping with the spirit of our recent spring cleaning. we've thrown out god-knows-how-much shit in the last week and the house looks WAY better as a result. even got the stinky-ass litter pan taken care of today. go me!
there is other shit i could ramble on about but i don't think i will.

my time at tj's is now over. they sent me off with an awesome chocolate cake, a nice bottle of wine, a card, and a bit of a farewell party after i got off. pretty cool, i'd say.
the not cool thing is that i have yet to hear from my new job about when/if i'll be starting anytime soon. i've called and e-mailed my new boss but haven't heard a so much as a peep. so i guess that makes me unemployed for the time being.
last night, the woman and i took a bunch of shit dvd's to half-price books and walked out with a cool $50 in out pocket! we took our new found wealth straight to the grocery store. now we have food for at least a week or two.
today i took a bunch of records to sell at the same place. i was a little disappointed to only get $67 for such good albums, but i'm coping by taking into consideration all of the music that i have pilfered over the last five or so years. what are you gonna do.
speaking of new music, here are a few new titles since the last post:
brmc - baby81, brandi carlile - the story, wilco - sky blue sky, and kings of leon - because of the times.
not too bad, i'd say. most of those don't come out for over a month yet!
and that's about it. i'm gonna call my boss again and see if i actually have a new job.
