It begins

I've been in Tulsa for a few weeks now, so it's probably time to kick this thing off. I don't really have a plan for it as far as subject matter goes. I'm adjusting to life in a new city, so starting a little hobby like this is probably a good way to get my thoughts out. As of now, I don't know anyone outside the office and light acquaintances with the workers from the restaurant across the street, so conversation has been pretty sparse unless I catch someone on AIM, and even then, a lot of it is "tell me about Tulsa." That's a good thing to have, but I miss having random conversations about pop culture, politics, or Paul Leonard's ladybug shirt.
And so, I shall blog. The web is my oyster. It can be anything I want it to be; a diary, a mismatched collection of observations and links, or a pony.

To start things off, I give you a rather appropriate entry from the ever-hilarious McSweeney's lists page:

Pickup Lines to Use
While Moving.

BY ALISON ROSEN

- - - -

"Nice shoes. Wanna put them in that box over there?"

"Is that a mirror in your pocket? Because the movers are going to be here soon, so we should put it in bubble wrap."

"Your father must have been a thief, because I can't find the duct tape."

"The word of the day is 'tarp.' What do you say we go back to my place and spread the word?"

"Mind if I put my junk in your box?"

"If this bed's a-rockin' ... maybe it's not worth taking to the new place?"
