Christian Is Fierce.

I cannot stand cocky little shits. But when it comes to Project Runway's Christian Siriano - I was pulling for him the entire season. When it came down to it, he has the talent to back up anything he says. Plus, the fashion industry needs his personality... yes, there is plenty of room for Christian and his double snaps. Jillian will get eaten alive with her lack of personality (is she on ludes?). Rami came across as the little rich kid who got everything he ever wanted so I was relieved he did not get this win.

Good for Christian... he is fierce! And good for Project Runway - another fantastic season of good television.

Change.

I've had change on my mind so much lately. Mostly because I am wanting to change jobs. And it is the hip word in the presidential race. I've always been one for change. I like the challenge... most of the time. Moving to a new town or house. Changing jobs. Wearing new pants. Meeting new people. Listening to new music. Change.

I've been so itching for change lately, but I'm not sure if a new job is the only change I am yearning for. Maybe it is, but possibly not. LP and I really adore Chicago, so I don't think I am wanting a change of location (although London always sounds fun). We love our little house and backyard that is still covered snow.

It might be Spring. This winter has been over the top, and I (yes, me... Mister I Love Snow) have been needing warmth and sun. I'll keep you posted when the season turns and seeing if my need for change is still going.

Boss.

So where was I last week? I was here, but so was my boss. So that means no blogging. And since we went out every night and morning he was here... that means no blogging during free time.

My boss is based in our Portland office and I only see him a few times a year. Our working relationship got so much better when I moved. It truly did. He has a very short attention span at the office - so even though we sat near each other in the Portland office it was better to email him than to talk to him. He gets absorbed with email. So now being in Chicago he calls me every morning on his drive to work, which ends up being the perfect solution... no email distration while driving.

Now that I have expressed my desire to find a new job... things have even got better. My boss totally understands that the company cannot offer me anything more than I get right now. I will never grow. I will never be challenged any more than I am. Eight years is a good amount of service to one job. And I am thrilled I can talk to my boss about moving on.

Juno.

I'm still waiting for Juno to win for best actress and picture. Poop.

Adore.

I was originally going to write about something else today and title it "A-Hole" to keep with my A theme this week, but I just do not have the energy to type out my bitchings. I'll save that post for another time. Today it's about how much I adore Pandora.com.

Thanks to Bee Spot for posting about this a while ago. And when she did I checked it out, thought it was nifty, and then moved on. One day with Pandora.com and for some reason I was not hooked. Well this week has been five work days with Pandora and I am completely obsessed. For those of you who do not know... it's an online radio station that is built around bands you like. I have different playlists (indierock, britpop, hiphipraggadubstep, sludge, etc.) for different moods. It's amazing how many great bands come up that I have not listened to in ages, or bands I have never heard of. Sure there are some annoying parts (Bush keeps coming up on my indie rock play list) but it's free and legal. And awesome.

Thanks Bee Spot. You rock. Now readers... go try it.
