Andrew Bird Strikes Back
Have I mentioned how much I love Andrew Bird?
I found a live performance online for anyone who wants to know.

Meh.
In case you were wondering, I'm not dead, I'm just in Buffalo.
Some people may not see the connection between being in Western New York and being unable to summon the energy to post even the most piddling blog entry. Those people have clearly never been in my parents' basement. Something about the place removes any inclination to do anything other than watch reruns of Blow Out on Bravo.
I have, since I've gotten back, managed to get out of town just about every weekend. Shawna's wedding was this weekend on Long Island (hooray Shawna) and I had a job interview trip to NY and DC the weekend before. I'm going up to the Adirondaks this weekend with my family, but not before my graduation.
Graduation from where, you ask. From bartending school. Yes, I can now make you any number of drinks you never knew existed. If anyone knows of a bar that needs a skinny, uptight bartender, please let me know.

Maybe I should try for the under-12 discount.
Last week, while buying beer for Dave and Kara's housewarming party, I was carded at Wegman's. Not a big deal; I'm used to it. What bothered me a little was that the manager decided to quiz me on my information. That I'm not used to, and I have to say, I was a little irritated. I understand that I look young, but I don't much like the suggestion that I look both young and untrustworthy.
I guess I shouldn't have given her a hard time, though. Today I had to open a new checking account. The woman looked at me and asked with all seriousness, "Are you eighteen?"

Why is the press so dumb?
Everybody loves Dan Savage*:
Last week, the pope condemned divorce, masturbation, birth control, in vitro fertilization, living together before marriage, and same-sex marriage. According to Bennie, all of the above add up to "anarchic freedom." The headlines the next day? "Pope Condemns Gay Marriage As 'Anarchy.'" The headlines should have read something like this: "Pope Condemns Majority Of American Heterosexuals For Private Sexual Conduct; Also, Gay Marriage."* - Well, everybody but Rick Santorum.

Drew's Last Night In Town
Technically, this may not be my last night in town, but as I may be spening tomorrow night with my Dad, it may well be the last time I see many, many people. Which brings me to my point:
My friends are awesome. I'm sad when you're not around.
True, I'm aware of the fact that my parents just pay you all to be my friends, but still I appreciate it. And since all of you are willing to spend your valuable time hanging out with a socially awkward semi-alcoholic, it would be rather foolish of me to be so lazy as to not post on here occasionaly since, obviously, I'm never going to call you. (The phone scares me a little.) I'd rather see you all in person, but if that can't happen, at least I can rant at you electronically through the wonders of technology.
In short, the blog will continue, but only because I like you guys so darn much. So, I will get back to posting mind-numbing updates on my life . . . later. It's late and I'm tired.
(Anna, I'm going to e-mail you anyway.)
