Listens: Black 47 - Fallin' Off the Edge of America
Ahhhh, here we are in the land of Zenkrak. And what an uneventful place it is.
All I have to look forward to is this weekend when Katherine is coming over from Durham for the long 4th. of July Weekend. Should be entertaining since I think we have seen each other once since our relationship sort of fell apart back in 2003 (?). That is from back in the year or two before my brain scrambling car accident so that explains why I can't remember exactly which times were which.
We want to get down to Atlantic Beach and frolic in the waves and frequent the beach side bars like we did when we were dating. The only problem is that there is the tall ship festival coming through Beaufort, NC this weekend as well. Now this is not necessarily a bad thing except that the 100,000+ people expected in the Crystal Coast region will make care free frolicking and drinking not as easy as it usually is.
Oh well, I am sure that fun will be had. As long as I can say "frolicking" because it is fun. Come on say it, it tickles.
Now if we can only find amusement here in the New Bern, which is always a hit or miss. Friday night is lining up for fun since we have Dreamkiller (formerly the Arrival) coming in from Greensboro to play the little hardcore/punk, cheap beer bar around the corner here. They are the ones that came and headlined the Zenkrak birthday Fool's Fest on April 1.
Now what else is new? Oh yeah, I am working again. Only part time, but it is at Books-A-Million so I at least get a discount on my crack. I do love to work with books, but I do not care for the retail bottom end of a large company where individual employees are treated slightly less than like a number in the system. Well it is just a step back in the direction of become able to support myself again....someday. This is working out nicely though since I can get the job transfered easily to where ever there is a B.A.M.
Actually if things go as planned I will be transferring down to Charleston, SC. and thus moving back there. If all goes well I will be able to do this in September or October. I do miss Charleston and oddly enough Buzz a bit. Now I don't miss him as a roommate. This time when going mom will be helping me with rent a bit in exchange for her to have a place to visit near the beach a few times per month. No problem for me. So the best place that I have found so far is right around the corner from my old apartment, a perfect location. I am a five minute walk to the plaza that has a Publix, a great music store, and a good independent bookstore. Folly Beach is only about 8 miles away. Historic downtown Charleston is about 2.5 miles away. The B.A.M that I would work at is about 6 miles the other direction. Also Charleston has a passable public transportation system in place. Not good or ideal, just passable. But I don't really need to make use of that since I have the scooter to get me around and the bike as well. I do love having options. I can get most anywhere in Charleston by either bus, bike or scooter. It just a matter of the weather and my mood and my time constraints.
Oh all I have to do is just make it through a few more months in New Bern.
Oh yes, it will happen......unless it doesn't.
