Return... from the Blackout.

So, the past 10 days have been nuts. I have been lost in Edmonton 3-4 times, once in my own neighborhood, once in downtown Edmonton and twice in the West Edmonton Mall. Fantastic. All in all I still don't have a firm grasp on how things work, but that also might be because I'm still looking around and find myself walking in circles. But enough of that, bring on the updates!

Update 1: I spent exactly one week looking for a job. I could have had a job that pays 40k a year, but have opted for a lesser paying job. Way less. I could have been the Assistant Manager at Michael's Arts and Crafts, but even if they decided they wanted me I didn't want to work there as it seemed 150% commitment and I just want something to pay the bills while I work on a portfolio for Bioware. I currently am expanding my senses with my job at HMV as an inventory guy... I sit out back and ship and receive things. Best part is, I am loving it even for the 9.40/hour. It pays the bills and doesn't follow me home like a rabid zombie.

Update 2: Currently live and work with D&D and Game Nerds. This is good news for my creative juices and potential outlets for creativity. My boss apparently did a jig when I applied. I thought I was awesome... but jig awesome? I had no idea.

Update 3: Sleeping has upgraded from couch cushions on the floor to a mattress on the floor to the eventual queen size sexy mattress which I will sleep on for the entire weekend. Note to self: Need to continue the unpacking.

Update 4: Have read more comics in a short span of time to kill a normal man. It's a good thing I'm abnormal, and absorbed the comics for what they are. I read the entire Fables series by DC Vertigo, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk and many of the Marvel Civil War sidestories. My brain is mush but it's fantastic.

Update 5: Now that I have a job, I'll be looking for a car. I still need to go to the mountains.

Update 6: I just realized I'm sitting on my friend's DS charger. My DS died in the middle of a siege in Puzzle Quest. The DS Must be charged.

Update 7: By the way, I have been without internet for 10 days because we moved from the old residence to the new one kind of suddenly. This delayed the internet and phone being moved over and left me wondering how things were going for all my friends and completely out of touch. I never realized how dependant I've become on this laptop and it's connection to the internet.

Update 8: I should probably sleep eventually.

I think that about sums up how things have been going thus far, I'll be back to updating regularly as soon as possible which probably means now that I have the internet. Also I have to get back into the habit of doing the Design Challenges which I shall post here and my own designs and choices. Anyway thanks for stopping by and more to come!
