i’m pretty backlogged with photos that i’ve been meaning to post on here on a more regular basis. i should hopefully be caught up in another week or two, but we’ll see. been pretty busy lately, between keeping up with my new part-time job writing live music reviews for the examiner, and trying to find a new place for september 1st. my future roommates and i at least had the apartment hunt portion all squared away last saturday when we spent over 3 hours looking at a house in davis square and signing paperwork for it with the most neurotic woman i’ve ever met in my life. well it turns out that i should’ve gone with my instincts, because this woman was TOTALLY out of her mind, and long story short we’re back on the hunt for a new house/apartment. things went a lot more smoothly two summers ago when i first moved up here.
i have some mixed emotions about this examiner job. it’s a great way for me to write about my love for live music in this town on a slightly more professional level, and will look good on my resume and portfolio. on the other hand, dealing with the template they provide for me with for these articles is somewhat of a nightmare. i’m a bit of a perfectionist sometimes (obviously not in this blog’s case either) when it comes to formatting, and the differences between viewing my page in explorer versus firefox, chrome, and even safari are drastic. it basically comes down to me hating explorer, and wishing that no one would continue to use it. to me it’s just slow, not as user-friendly as the others, and outdated. in any case here’s a link to my first two articles i’ve written so far. not thrilled with either, but it’s a start.
