I have so many things to talk about, seeing as I have been blogging so little lately.

First and foremost, of course, is Minneapolis. The city has swallowed me whole. It's a sponge and I'm allowing myself to be absorbed into all the little holes. I feel like I'm in the right place doing the right thing at the right time, but most importantly, I feel like I've earned it and now I've got to work my ass off to keep it. It's really an interesting feeling, but a good one, one I've never really felt before: complete independence, mixed with a renewed determination, a hard slap of reality, and a nice feeling of maturity. Oh, and if you were wondering, I really enjoy my school a lot.

Second is "Heroes." I don't know what's with me and jumping on the bandwagon WAY too late, but I'm in love with this show. It's really not the perfect show or anything, but the writing really has me hooked. I really like the big gigantic ensemble cast and the interesting intertwining story lines and the inevitable cliffhangers at the end of each episode (which forces me to stay up yet another forty-five minutes later than intended). The eye candy doesn't hurt anything either -- Peter Petrelli is cliché-hipster-hot, Sylar is just straight-up devastatingly attractive (despite that whole psychotic serial killer thing), and I've got a weird crush on Matt Parker too. It's a curse. Anyway, I'm quite enjoying it, and if you haven't checked it out, I recommend it, albeit not without a thorough wikipedia brief if you're starting season two, or just going back and watching all the episodes online. I'm on episode 12. No spoilers, bitches.

Last but not least, are my fantastic friends, roommates, family, and all the support I've been getting. Big special thanks to Sarah Fuller for her wonderful blog shout-out and the various other dear friends who have called, texted, etc. like they were my parents: "How was your first day of school, honey?" Fantastic. Thank you very much.

Big things are happening on the creative front, so keep an eye out in the usual spots. I'm returning to my regularly scheduled blogging. And yes, I alphabetized the links, Samantha Scott.


Also, if you live in the Minneapolis area and know of a job opening, hook a gal up, because I'm wholly unemployed.
