Bigger, Louder, and... Buckser?

Wow, so much awesome news!

First, I am back in Minnesota. I drove up Friday, and will be returning to Nashville on Saturday the 28th. I'll get to do osme more flooring work while I'm up here plus I get to help my parents with their newest project...

A new house! They first looked at this place a week ago yesterday, and will now be closing on it Thursday. It's an awesome house, tons of space, and perfect for my parents. It will be a great place to come back to...

From my new job! That's right, I have accepted the royalty analyst position with Big Loud Bucks copyright administration in Nashville. It's gonna be a lot to learn early on, but eventually I hope to take the tasks and make them my own, making them more efficient and effective. I start there on August 6, so three weeks from today I will be moving in to my own office. Incredible.

I think that's plenty for one update, I'll wait until you've digested that info before giving you anything more (not that there's anything too exciting left, but it might keep you coming back for more).

I said, "No No No"

All right, a shotgun post, seeing as it's been two weeks since the last one:

  1. I arrived in Nashville a week ago yesterday, and things have been pretty chill ever since. My interview at Big Loud Bucks went great, and I'm going to a writers' showcase Wednesday to meet the rest of the employees. I think that's a pretty good sign...
  2. I have seen Live Free or Die Hard and Transformers since coming down, both of which were excellent, especially Die Hard. I also went to Ratatouille with my family the day before coming back, and it was great as well. Now it's on to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I have a feeling my string of luck will continue.
  3. Fireworks in Nashville are incredible, even from several miles away, and they capped a fun 4th that involved grilling, friends, and lots of hand and foot.
  4. I will be heading back home on Friday the 13th for a bit more time with the fam before hopefully coming back down in early August to start a job or at least do some hardcore searching.
  5. Ummm... that might be it for now. WAIT: Check out Sara Bareilles' CD "Little Voice" for only $6.99 on iTunes. It's great piano pop, a few too many songs about love on it, but still worth $7 for sure.
I'll post more later, I promise!
