Mercenary Artistry
This entry spawned because of a few different reasons. While the lead-in wasn't the first bit of this post knocking in my head, it's the best introduction that I could wind up with. This lead-in is a quote, which indigoskynet first posted:
Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it. The more you need the money, the more people will tell you what ( Read more... ) -
When Bad Ideas Converge
I'm learning DDR at present to give myself some mild form of exercise that I might continue without getting bored. So far, I suck horribly. My foot-eye coordination is just terrible. However, I have managed to get the easiest rated song up to a D and repeated that for 4-5 times, so I figure I'll soon be up to C-rating.(It doesn't help that I don't ( Read more... ) -
Art FooFoo
So... this weekend, in my fits of depression, I did little else other than sleep or read MegaTokyo. For those that knew my previous stance on how I disliked most things anime, this one is probably a bit surprising. Between MT and AppleGeeks, I've developed quite a liking for manga. Playing Final Fantasy XI online is aiding the cause, as well, since ( Read more... ) -
Recruiters: Well, that's different...
I have been letting my resume age more because I'm just not feeling up to dealing with the job hunt. That means that I don't get nearly as many emails... but still. I get dribs and drabs. I happened to find one that had been filtered as spam, but it wasn't clear why -- everything seemed to match okay, so I have no idea what the filter complained on ( Read more... ) -
Recruiters and Ramblings
So... this weekend, I was sent two more jobs by a single recruiter -- both of which are in Boston and are only 5 month contracts. *sigh* Thanks a lot ( Read more... ) -
Recruiters: The Mapping Fun
I didn't really check the looking-for-work email for almost two weeks. That was my bad, but when I was that disheartened about a lot of things, it was not a good time to be bothered looking at what people sent me. (I didn't update my resume at the job sites, either, so that I would fall out of sight with most people, as well.) Now that my mood can ( Read more... ) -
Because my iPod amuses me...

Psychotic People On The Phone
You know, I hate getting telemarketing calls... But wow. This woman needs to get a grip. I don't doubt that a real telemarketer probably got this call, given the customer calls I've dealt with in technical support type of roles. I'm more surprised that he would have stayed on the line, unless the company he was with had one of those "never hang up ( Read more... ) -
Not a Rant... A Rave. Yay! Gaming!
I have plenty to bitch over these days, when I'm not wallowing in my own mild form of self-pity and self-destructive depressive thought. Hooray. I made it back to being a teenager. Oh, goody. Now I'm so glad I took those psychology classes in college. I know what's wrong with me. *teehee*
However, I have one lovely thing to rave over. zeroband invited me ( Read more... ) -
Movies: Superman Returns
Without going into a real review or anything... I'm just going to say that I don't agree with everything I've seen relating to this movie. I thought there were holes that you could drive a truck through and it didn't impress me, most of the time. There were a couple neat effects, but... eh. Overall, I expected more than I got. I think I'd only give ( Read more... )
