Man, I'm terrible at updating blogs. Facebook is so easy, since it's just a short burst and it's always at my fingertips.
Anyway, work is crazy. I'm working six or seven nights a week at the paper and five days a week at the junior high. Sure, I'm burnt out, but I guess I enjoy being really busy. I'm looking forward to some free time in 2011, though. I've got vacation time to burn and overtime money to drop.
Mitch proposed to his girlfriend, which is awesome. I never thought he'd be the first. I'm so happy and excited for them. I can't wait for the wedding — that's gonna be some fun.
So, we moved the newsroom to the Triad Center across from the Delta Center. (Screw EnergySolutions, it's always gonna be the Delta Center.) My desk has a sweet view of it. I'm really excited, since I've started to train as a designer. I'm happy to be getting the experience and enjoy what I'm doing.
Kyle, Greg and I went to Vegas this weekend and had an AWESOME time. I won money and got drunk every day — woo! I got to see Jason Jarrard and Danny Franchow, whom I haven't seen in years. They seem to be doing well. Greg got to see girls with painted-on Thorrior jackets, and Kyle hit on a girl who wanted NONE of it. Homecoming 2010!
I'm exhausted and barely made it through this, so deal with it.
May the Force be with you.

I'm Baaaaaack
So, after about three weeks of neglecting my sweet, sweet blog, I've decided to get back on the horsey.
I went to a preseason Jazz game with Greg, Nic, Markness, Brad and Jason. That was a blast. We had more fun making commentary on the game than actually watching it.
Preeeeetty much everyone was super jealous of my new R2-D2 Droid 2. I'm actually jealous of myself, since I know I'll never own anything cooler.
In other news, I've been kind of a lame roommate and haven't been so awesome to be around lately. I've said my apologies and attempted to atone for it, but I'm sure I've got plenty more where that came from. I just hope I didn't leave any permanent damage.
Speaking of damage and roommates, I woke up this morning to Kyle yelling at me to get up. There was an alarm going off about an emergency in my building, and we needed to GTFO immediately. We grabbed our laptops and hoodies, ready to see all of our worldly possessions go up in flames. It turned out that one of our neighbors just turned her stove on and forgot to put water in a pot. That's what you get when you live with a bunch of 90-year-olds.
Oh, probably the biggest news in my blog laziness is that the Deseret News decided to hire me for a copy editing/design position. I got a sizable raise, a set schedule, benefits and some relative job security. I'm excited about it, since I really enjoy working for the paper.
It's that time again, I suppose: the time when I sign off for another period of who knows how long.
