H1N1 Vaccine Clinic [11 Nov 2009|03:18pm] triangleites [nanaslug]  Hey Fellow Triangleites! You may have already heard, but the National Guard Armory on Stadium Drive in Durham has an H1N1 vaccine clinic until 7pm today, or until they run out.  We just got back and the person said they have "plenty," and there wasn't an insane amount of people waiting when we left.  Here's the flyer from the health department that denotes who's eligible.  Just thought I'd pass that on!  :) post comment

I'm just looking for a place where I can rent a saddled horse & ride it around their farm/land or whatever. I've googled around, but can only find places that offer lessons in various riding styles.

Vote for Pedro [07 Nov 2009|02:03pm] mikeingram Life is interesting, my days exist in chunks of 4 hours or so; wake up, 4 hours later go somewhere else, 4 hours later go somewhere else, etc; then sleep for 4 hours and do it again. Most of that is The Seedy Seeds. Every minute I'm not working I'm doing that, and I mostly work in order to cover my bills etc so I can do that. We're up for four Cincinnati Entertainment Awards this year, two of which are decided by voting; Best Live Act, and Best Alternative/Indie act. I don't know if anyone may be interested in voting for us, but by all means please do so: CLICKY CLY-KY VOTE FOR MIKEY You don't have to vote for every category but if you could fill in them forms I'd much appreciate it. I did get an Iphone, which makes perfect sense to me at this point. My usual post of "someday things will slow down" is clearly garbage, but I'm ok with that. Talka ya soon. post comment

let's try this again [05 Nov 2009|05:43pm] triangleites [zsolarstar] Okay, sorry for my last post about NC residency - it was a random rush post and I didn't take the time to write out my situation. It's a little complicated, so here goes: - I am originally from Michigan - I am currently a Duke grad student, but I don't need residency for school - it has nothing to do with my schooling - I will be graduating in August of this upcoming year and intend to work as a physician assistant here and obtain my DEA license/medical license to practice in NC. I don't have to legally be a resident in the state I practice, but that would be messy with income tax and such, so I need to be a resident - I am up to my nose in student loans so I don't plan on owning a house anytime soon, so would my "intent to establish primary permanent residency" be okay with just an apartment? - I am getting married in April of this upcoming year and will be changing my last name at that time, and was hoping this process would be made somewhat easier by already having a driver's license at the local DMV here instead of having to go back up north - My car is registered in MI and I carry a Michigan driver's license So for those of you that have first-hand knowledge with relocating here and establishing yourself here, any experiences you could share regarding the following would be SO appreciated: - establishing "residency" - getting your car registered down here/driver's liscence & plates - MI does not have inspection, so that's also new to me - good car insurance companies to go with down here Thank you SO much for all your help. I plan on researching everything out, but things are really hectic right now with rotations and was hoping someone out there felt like guiding a lost soul :) Again, sorry for the confusion in the last post. Thank you so much! 11 comments|post comment

Durham haunted yard! Worth the drive! [31 Oct 2009|06:35am] triangleites [barebonedcrazy] If you are looking for a fun house to trick-or-treat at tonight...definitely head over to 1010 Stadium Drive in Durham (right off of Duke St)! Some of you may know which house I'm talking about but my in-laws always put on a great show and this year they are doing it a little differently...a haunted tent in the drive way! I was over there all last night setting up and it's going to be GREAT! I'll be the little red devil in front, giving candy to the wee ones who aren't quite prepared for such an ordeal :) The haunting will commence around 6pm! Happy treating!! 1 comment|post comment

Art School? [29 Oct 2009|07:56pm] triangleites [mediter] Hi guys :) I'm a so-called artist, looking for some various artistic courses to enroll in. I'm unemployed with too much free time on my hands! I'm also new to the area (remember me?). I live in Pittsboro (well, in the woods closer to fearrington) & I'm not really afraid of a commute. Are there buses around here? I'm looking for graphic design, mixed media, art history, painting, ceramics... you name it! I just need to know what colleges/universities to look into for that sort of thing. Any help is much appreciated. Tips on attractions (food/etc) to check out in Pittsboro are very welcome. ^_^ 18 comments|post comment
