Belated Nonsense

Phew, one week at home and I'm spent. 

I kept meaning to post in this earlier this week, however, the lack of wireless internet at my parents house made it pretty difficult.  Plus, I was keeping busy by doing chores for money. 

My parents house used to be my house.  Let me explain.  After entering this new phase of my life where I'm looking for a job and trying to start taking on my own responsibilities it has become clear that Bloomfield is no longer where home is.  

That and I emptied my bedroom and dropped the contents off at the Salvation Army. 

Now, for your visual and intellectual pleasure, I am going to share a few incomplete thoughts from my week at home. 

First of all, Michigan is cold.  And not just cold, but bitterly cold.  And when I say bitterly cold, I mean the sun shines fooling you into thinking you don't need gloves, but you do because it's 1 degree outside
 before windchill. 

Secondly, babysitting is by far the best birth control there is.  Jon and Kate make it look so easy. 

Also, a friend of mine recently reminded me of two really fantastic cartoons from when I was a kid.  Duck Tales and Tailspin, both brainchildren of Walt Disney with amazing theme songs (that can be seen on YouTube, and I highly recommend doing so). 

And speaking of Duck Tales, the opening credits begin with Scrooge McDuck surfing on a wave of money.  Here is where I apply for that position.  I would bathe in money and bounce on pogo sticks any day, even if I do ruin the occasional christmas. If that job is available, I am absolutely, hands-down, the best candidate.  Com'on! Money surfing! 


The last thing I want to mention is that I recently saw the Sigur Ros documentary, Heima, which follows the band across Iceland as they play a series of unannounced  free shows surrounded by the beautiful and unique landscape of their native land.  It blew my mind.  I now have an intense desire to move to Iceland and wear sweaters.
