Here I am back home again, and I'm here to rest. All they ask is where I've been, knowin I've been west

It's funny to think back on all the places I've called "home" in my day.
This year between April and September I used the word for six different houses or rooms, all told. One of which included a drafty garage for three months, but that's a different story all together.

And my newest home reminds me of the good old days. AKA it's got slanty floors, questionable windows, beer bottles galore, and a mint balcony to boot. Toss in a couple of couches that we picked up off the side of the road in a rainstorm and you've essentially got my old undergrad house.
Except now I supposed to be grown up and shit. But I'm still clingin to that dream...

Anyway, after a month of being home from BC, I finally landed myself a job back here in London. I've been at it for about a month now, and so far everything has been pretty good. I'm working in a microbiology lab that's close to the university, and fortunately my roomie drives to campus every day so I catch a lift up with him. The money isn't great but it's decent enough coming straight outta school.
More than anything I'm getting a ton of good experience so far. It's so damn hard to find jobs that aren't posted as needing "a minimum of two years experience" and whatnot. And once my contract runs out at the end of February, it looks like another client might be in talks with my boss, which in turn means I might get extended. Fingers crossed that I don't fuck things up...

Can't think of much else to say at the moment, but I can guarantee I'll be writing on here more often. I wanna get some of the summer's stories on paper before my booze-riddled brain forgets all the sordid details. Not to mention all the other shit I'd like to rant about these days.

Poli-ticks

Which of the bloodsuckers shall I vote for... hmmm....


Considering I can't even imagine anyone but Layton actually being a reasonable leader of this country, and there isn't a chance in hell he'll even come close to winning, I still haven't decided. Hell, I've heard there's a little box you can check off that says you don't like any of the candidates so you'd rather vote for thin air.

Maybe I'll do that.
