In Which I Am Trying To Plow My Way Through Fargo...

...Rock City, that is. The Chuck Klosterman book. I'm trying to get through it (even though I am not a metal fan, I will wlways be a Klosterman fan), because I told myself that once Frago Rock City's done, I can move on to Eating The Dinosaur. Hopefully this will align with my birthday celebration weekend perfectly.

Speaking of, as an early present to myself, I bought some delicious looking Nine West heels (4.5", the way God wrote it in the fashion bible. ), and a haircut with some color. So far the short red hair has been met with rave reviews. I'm still playing around with it, but I am most excited by the fact that with the right pins and products I could have a funky little fauxhawk.

"The Prayer" by Bloc Party describes my prayers right now.

File under F, for fucking decisions:

So North Coast is in a week and half. Totally pumped like cheap unleaded gas. However, I will need to get there. Here are my options:

1. Drive.

Pros: set my own timetable, stop in Kzoo and visit (especially Preggo Steph who would be due any day by then), get my microdermal put back in.
Cons: I still have to fucking drive five hours, it will be about $80 round trip in gas alone.

2. Train.

Pros: nice and quiet(ish, but we know how my train stories seem to go), lots of space, parking at train station, don't have to drive drive
Cons: expensive, (like $73 last time I checked. May as well drive.)

3. Bus

Pros: cheaper than train (by $20), don't have to drive, no last minute price escalation
Cons: gets cramped (especially on return trips), something stupid almost always happens

4. Hybrid (drive, then bus)

Pros: get to stop in Kzoo, still get microdermal redone, don't have to drive as far
Cons: still on a strictish schedule, just as expensive as drving the whole way, still have to drive a decent amount, parking in Kalamazoo can kiss my ass

And I have a week to decide. Good luck fucker!

In other news, I have applied for a job. In Chicago. With Google. Fingers crossed.

This is going to be expensive. My hair will need doing next week.

Tonight, make me unstoppable.

I need Chicago just as much as Chicago needs me. Why doesn't Chicago understand that?

I need to write more.
