Bloomington Debauchery, Chapter Twenty-Seven.

The great thing about Indianapolis is that if a band you like isn’t necessarily knocking on your back door, you can always find them playing in a nearby city.  Go Go, Midwest.  Last week, there were TWO such happenings — Ra Ra Riot in Louisville and Delta Spirit in Bloomington.
I talked to my wallet about [...]

Everyday is Spring Break in B-town.

People laugh at me when I tell them that I sometimes “feel old” living here.  They don’t believe me when I say that when you are twenty-three in Bloomington, Indiana, you are pretty much middle-aged.
Here, the proof: According to cnnmoney.com, Bloomington is the FIFTEENTH YOUNGEST CITY in the United States!
Also,  NUMBER ONE for percentage of [...]

You know, we live in a really safe apartment complex. 
Hell, I used to live on the west side.  Next to a halfway house. 
Obviously an upgrade there.
But I am pretty sure that out of the eight apartments in building “C”, there are two cases of really bad, possibly abusive, relationships. 
Maybe they are just loud talkers and [...]

On this pleasant and not-so-hot July afternoon, I started out on a long walk.  I always walk into the downtown area, and maybe into campus, but today I decided to walk further west — into the neighborhood I’ve lived in for almost a year, but have never seen.  I live in a neighborhood of hippies, as [...]

I am so sorry, Ancient Dell Laptop.  I forgot about you and your ability to access random, unsecured wireless access points.  Sure, you do not have a dual-core processor, but you can access LiveJournal, and that, my dear Laptop, is GOLDEN.
I am sitting in my apartment, drowning my eyes in lens solution because I can’t [...]

Um…will someone pleaaaase take me to the Bloomington Wine Festival?
Okay, I know, it’s $30, but! It’s a WINE FESTIVAL.
(Plus, all the proceeds go to the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington, so you can get drunk AND donate to charity at the same time.  That’s so bourgeois!)
There’s a wine bar kiddy-corner (Hoosiers read: “katty-corner“) from my [...]

Lions and Tigers and Cow Heads, Oh MY!

I few weeks ago, I told you of my adventure at the Exotic Feline Animal Rescue Center.  That was just a taste.  See people, I am a dirty Blog Tease.  Here is the story in its entirety.

Dwellings.

The company from whom I lease my apartment has been showing my apartment like motherfuckers.  Usually they are very good about it, in that they give me a day’s notice.  Lately, they’ve been really slipping.
———————————————
Exhibit A:  Walking into my apartment without knocking, while I was sleeping.  For those of you who don’t have a studio [...]

I AM DUMB

It’s 4 am; I smell like stripper. (Edit: I really need to stop writing entries at 4 am.)
The Plan:  Meet my boyfriend at Nick’s around 9-ish, have a few brews before heading across the street to Uncle Fester’s to see my co-worker Cody’s band play.
My Actual Monday Night:  Damon has The Plague and refuses to [...]

They say pregnant women are known to engage in what is called the “nesting instinct,” when they naturally feel this urge to prepare the “nest” before birth of their young.  This usually entails vigorus cleaning, rearranging, home improvement, etc.  But what do you call it when a non-pregnant (trust me, people, if I was having [...]
