Love Me Dead

I realize that I am young and have plenty of time to have fun and such... but it would be so much better if I was actually having fun. I am getting to the point where I am bitter and cynical and doubt everything I see or hear or feel. I hate getting on the train or walking through the museum where I have to work and seeing people fawning all over each other and immediately cringing. I don't want to cringe. I want to be happy for people and enjoy springtime and all that love is in the air crap. I don't enjoy it though. I hate it. Every second of it. And that's not fun. That's a buzz kill.

Prime Numbers

I am 23 today. It's a prime number. I haven't decided if that's a positive or negative thing.

Friend of Mine

So this girl I work with is in a band, and they are amazing. You should probably go to their website and have a listen.

Inspiration

The only reason I miss being in school is because I had to put all of my time into art projects rather than working a full time job so I can pay rent. Hopefully this next job goes better. At least I'll get to be AROUND art. Maybe that will inspire me a bit.

Fear and Loathing

I really really really hate being single. 

Big Giant Update

Well, now that it's been almost a MONTH since I've updated... good grief... here are some tasty tidbits. 

1. I went to see Wicked before it closed here in Chicago. It was, naturally, fantastic and the girl playing Elphaba was absolutely perfect. The story was pretty great too. Makes me want to read the books.

2. I got a new job! Temporary but still fantastic since I'll be working at the Art Institute of Chicago as a visitor services assistant. I will be turning in my two weeks notice at Macy's shortly. Which reminds me...

3. Holidays in retail are 100% pure hell. As much as I adore the people I work with, I hate my job. It doesn't help that AFTER the holidays I got cut down to between 6 and 16 hours a week. I also got a chance to work inventory, which I appreciate for the experience, but when you're scheduled 5:30 pm to 12:30 am and and you don't end up leaving until 3 AM! because you spent 6 hours trying to get through the socks and tights... ugh, it gets to be just plain painful. 

4. Alton Brown is most attractive in his burger episode when he is explaining cuts of beef at the supermarket. Random but oh so true.

5. I will be seeing Craig Ferguson live on March 6th at a casino. Be jealous.

6. Our adorable and teeny tiny kittens are not so tiny anymore. They're getting up to about 5 pounds. And they sleep with us now.

7. In case you haven't been paying attention, I have a website. ecobbphotography.com. Go look at it. 

8. I really want a record player.

9. My awesome new job gets me into all the museums in Chicago for free. Sweet. Oh and I start Feb. 3rd. 

10. I dunno what to write for 10, but I felt the need to have 10. I know! If you read this, you should come visit me in Chicago. Seriously. It's awesome. I can get you into the museums with me....

Ta DAH! I have a website!

Alright ladies and gentlemen, big news. As you may have guessed from the title, I have a website! I started it up for the purpose of having a photography "business" of sorts. If you want to have a look see, here it is, and let me know what you think.
