Ok, I know what you're thinking (because some of you have been saying it to me): I'm a slacker! I started this blog last fall, wrote a couple of entries, then disappeared from the scene. What happened? Well, I'm a bit ashamed that I let it slide as much as I did. But there's not really any use in crying over spilt milk, so I'll just do my best to summarize the events that have transpired since the end of November (gosh, it has been a long time, hasn't it?).
The most exciting news is that I have a girlfriend. Ok, ok...breathe normally, pick your lower jaw up off of the floor and stop laughing - it's not that shocking. I'll admit, I was even a little surprised at how it worked out...pleasantly surprised, of course. Liza (aka The Girl) and I have been dating about 2.5 months now, and I couldn't be happier. It seems she feels about the same, so we're doing well.
Christmas break was enjoyable and relaxing. I had an eventful trip home, driving cross-country with Liza and my brother, Grant. Eventful because we ended up on the road a lot longer than we expected, thanks to Mother Nature's desire to inundate most of Colorado and Kansas with large amounts of snow. We traveled south through Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico to get around the storm. It was two long days (and a lot of fun videos) on the road, meaning we were very glad to be home when we finally arrived. My brother documented our trip on his blog, if you care for the nitty-gritties. It certainly was nice to be able to spend time with family and friends.
My new job is going well. It feels a little strange that I'm no longer attending classes full-time, instead going to work (same place, same time) for 8 hours a day. It's not that I dread going to work - I love doing what I do. It's just new, I think. I will say, since I've started working, I have truly come to love and appreciate NPR (KWMU broadcasts live online and at 90.7 FM). You might even say I'm developing something akin to an addiction.
Other than that, I'm finding time to enjoy my new car (pictures to come) and the ability to read the books that I want to read. And, of course, I spend a lot of time with Liza (I can probably convince her to let me post at least one picture of her). Wish me luck with that...

You conspicuously neglected to add your new accent to the list of updates.
That's true! Are you sure you want me to add that? Hehehe...I couldn't resist. That was a good catch there, todorojo.
and it came to pass that you finally decided to follow the wise counsel of the honorable leige we were so honored to escort across the country. Finally, you updated this thing!!!!! LOL
Yes, it is always wise to follow my, er, the queen's advice. Also true is Ben's need of luck in convincing her to allow photos to be posted. Any pictures MUST get the royal seal of approval.
