Wow, it's been a while. Right now I'm getting paid to sit on my ass and count people. Actually I'm technically getting paid to sit around in this coffee shop and write on lj. I'm really going to be talking up this job in interviews ( Read more... )

Hey, I'm back in Seattle. How about that? And it's Pi day! Give me a holler if you're around.

I've been kind of absent from any sort of communication in the past week due to confluence of midterms, essays, peer editing, and various other things. I did find the time to go see a fine production of Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard. I got much more out ( Read more... )

Departure: 39 hours. Must see certain people, yes. Then, onwards toward the last semester of college, and increasing levels of terror and doom. But maybe some fun classes. I anticipate answering the same few questions with "I don't know," "I have no idea," or some variations on the two, perhaps incorporating expletives ( Read more... )

Tonight, on the bus back from work, one day after the big snowstorm, there was a man biking on Snelling (a four-lane road) during rush hour, toward approaching traffic, without a helmet, wearing large headphones.

When the masses eventually start a revolution around me, the creators of the CD "Bad Mood Mom" will be first against the wall. Such completely vile music - I can't understand how anyone could listen to it and not want to avoid children, even their own, for a lengthy period of time. Seriously, a gold doubloon to anyone who can rid the world of ( Read more... )

Arriving 5:25 this evening in Seattle. Expecting parades, flowers, the usual. Hurricane? Other trendy nightspots? Tonight?

So, Fall Break has come and gone. My ability to come up with things to write about seems to have disappeared as well, but I feel like I should at least write something before October ends. It's been a pretty quiet couple of months; being in a house off campus, with a bunch of people I don't know very well, tends to limit the amount of excitement ( Read more... )

Leaving for Alaska this evening. Back in Seattle Sunday evening, leave for St Paul the next day. I still have no idea where I'm going to be living when I get there, still waiting to hear back from Craigslist people. Sigh. I really don't want to end up back in the dorms. It would be a depressing start to the year ( Read more... )

Gah. Failure haunts me at every turn. Well, maybe not on the final I had today. I was referring more to my failure to get a ride to Christchurch. I've been trying to get out of Dunedin for weeks, and this is my last chance before I get out for good. Anyway, the current plan is to leave tomorrow morning on the bus, take a beautiful train ride ( Read more... )
