City Living
Posted by Jeremy on August 20th, 2007
It’s been almost a month now, and I have to admit - I love living in the city again. There’s something about being lulled to sleep by the sounds of civilization that can’t be beat. The low grumbling of a bus passing by, the light sound of laughter from the patrons outside the bar 5 floors down, the occasional rattle of a police or fire truck en route to save the day - it’s all very therapeutic. - especially the soft glow of the city lights coming in through the windows. And with the way these windows are constructed, if I don’t want any of that I simply need to close them - they’re built to completely isolate noise.
It’s also cool that we’re becoming regulars at the farmer’s market - this week we got a free melon from the melon people, since every week we’ve been buying a couple. I’ve always had this secret desire to be part of a family, that’s why I loved truck driving so much. Speaking of which, next February I think I might see if I can’t become an ice road trucker. I’ve been watching the series and researching it and all they really seem to care about is you’re a tad bit nuts, you have a CDL, and a little bit of experience. It’d be a 2 month stint up in Canada’s Northwest territories, and at the end of it all I’d come out with $30,000 or so plus being able to see I was one of the elite. We’ll see though.
Picked up my new desk last week as well - it was from the build-it-yourself desk section at Ikea and is a sexy beast awash in polished stainless steel - it fits the room perfectly! But now I’m trying to get rid of some older computers I don’t use anymore - no one seems to want them at work, so I’ll probably head off to eBay and sell them - I have some high-end parts that would do quite well.
By the way, where in the hell can I buy a Klein bottle - I’m obsessed with them now. Them, and retro/mod clocks. I need to put my small collection up. The
The Art Crawl is coming up soon, I’m working on something to rasterbate and throw up on the door to say ‘Hi’ to people, hopefully it turns out like I have planned
