Getting Situated

Posted on by

I’ve got a long way before I return to normal.

I remember I tried to define this word a while back. I failed miserably.

I think it’s because normal is a very much an amorphous thing.

I remember in history class, the phrase “Return to Normalcy” meant something completely different.

Back to the point, though.

Normal changes. Today. Yesterday. Tomorrow.

I am awesome at these read-between-the-line crap. Thank goodness there isn’t another Josh Kim running around, dissecting the words written up here.

Random? Heck yes.

Sidepoint: I’m going to make sure that when I go into work tomorrow, I figure out what I can blog and what I can’t. See how I learned from my mistakes? Hooray!

Settled In, Somewhat

Josh Kim cannot stay up past midnight anymore. The days are filled with too much stuff.

  • How can one spend $500 on furniture?
    • When one spends $300 on a chair. Trust me on this one, I need it. My back and wrists and everything else that touches this chair will love it.
  • There goes fast-food and sodas for a LONG while
    • Change in diet starts today. Wee!
  • Desire and ability to buy an iPhone increases daily
    • I lost my sweet Sennheisers… add that to the list of reasons to get one
  • John Piper? What?
    • Bethelehem. Baptist. Wow.

For now, just know that I’m moved in, and ready to start work on Monday. Of course, my life isn’t that simple… I’ve always got things I’m thinking up.

Okay, less random post tomorrow.

Must Resist… iPhone

For those just tuning in, here’s the skinny:

  • Trying to find an apartment, searching for a motel, navigating around the city, trying to keep up with my feeds and blog updates…
    • All would be amazingly easy with a revolutionary Internet communication device. And a phone that isn’t a little broken.
  • I’m not in Cincinnati, OH. Nor am I in Champaign-Urbana, IL. Nor in Madison, WI. I was in all of those places… Nor the Valley. I am, indeed, in Minneapolis, MN.
  • I start work on Monday with MoCo.

Thankfully, Minneapolis is working on a city wide Wi-Fi program. (I think it helped during the bridge collapse: Wi-Fi network eases rescue operations I gave them $10 for me to enjoy the sweet sweet tubes for the next 24 hours. Libraries are good, too, for the tubes.

I guess this is all you’re going to get for a little bit. I was so dead tired yesterday, I think I went to bed at 10 and woke up at 7. But definitely well rested.

Might have to write the N00b’s guide to Minneapolis…

The Josh Kim Tour 2007, Part 1047

Posted on by

It seems like my wacky adventures on the road never ends. Let’s see where it takes me this weekend. Or if it ends this weekend, for that matter.

Would you believe me if I told you I basically did a nice tour of the Midwest during the course of the past two months?

Cincinnati. Columbus. Cleveland. Indianapolis. Chicago. Madison. Minneapolis?

More on this later.
