I should really be sleeping, but no matter. I did finally succeed in getting another job, and so since Sunday I've been selling junk food from a concessions stand at Golden Gardens. It's a decent job, the coworkers and the guy in charge are cool. Oh shit, I never called my previous employer to ask for a replacement check, because my parents seem ( Read more... )

Well, so much for that job. At least I think so. I told the manager that I wasn't exactly enamored with the job, and he told me today that he was looking to hire someone else. At least I lasted longer than the other worker, who stopped showing up after Monday, when we had to work from 8 AM to 9 PM. I don't blame her, especially since her ( Read more... )

So, several days ago, I finally became gainfully employed, by a company called Student Painters. Painting houses over the summer, sounds like the sort of thing that'll get tiresome quickly, but give me some experience and spending money, and it shouldn't be too bad if I can bring music and whatnot. However, since I got the job, I've had worries ( Read more... )

My dad is quite awesome. For proof, I give you the shirt he gave me a week or so ago, with this image(more or less) on it. In case anyone's confused, it's an old French poster protesting the banning of absinthe ( Read more... )

I really should update this more often, considering that I have far less contact with people than I did at Macalester. But I always say that, and see how well I follow my own advice. Those who are desperate to learn of Oliver's adventures in the big city by the water will be shocked and amazed to learn that ( Read more... )

So, it's a bit odd, isn't it? College is . . . over, for now, and I'm back in Ballard. I had a final exam yesterday. That's a strange thought, considering yesterday almost seems like today. They did blend together quite a lot. Since waking up around 11 AM yesterday, I've gotten around 3 or 4 hours of sleep, and they didn't come all together. ( Read more... )

So, this is it. Everything's done with, and I'll be home in a day. I'll miss some people, and stop missing some people, and yeah. I'll see you all in four months, or a few days, depending. Must shut off computer now. Bye, folks.

Ah, life is rather lovely right now. I finished up the take-home exam that was due today, got out of my last Civil Liberties class early, and studied in the sun for my Russian oral exam for 45 minutes. I think I did very well, which surprised me a bit. Since today is the only day that I'm not going to be terribly stressed out(exams Thursday, ( Read more... )

I like this one, even though I suck at figuring out anyone's books, except for the really famous ones.

1. I list the first line(s) of 10 books I really like. (some are recent favorites, others are classic)
2. Cool points for knowing which book they're from.
