I'm here, but I'm getting tired of posting in both LJ AND FA journal...so from now on, if you want to check up on my life, just check my FA journal on my FA page: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/malcolmthebear/

Well, I FINALLY get to start work again, at the music store that I had put in for some time ago. I start tomorrow, with a 20-hour work week to begin with.

These are the rules:

* Grab the book closest to you. Now.
* Go to page 56.

(This is something I'm working on, but I want to see how big of a movement I can make this. I'm planning on creating a Facebook group for this...possibly a MySpace.)I'm proposing that we call for a nation-wide ban on cauliflower, and I'm looking to garner support from anyone else interested.

There's some sound I've heard here and there in the past that sounds like a typical electric guitar, only as if it were miced further away...is this some sort of special effect that one can find on a pedal or ( Read more... )

So...after having waited since late July, I wind up NOT getting the job at the music store after all. I don't know what to feel now...I've been banking on this for so long. I'm behind on bills. I owe people money. I fucking NEED a paycheck. And the manager at the music store pretty much had me feeling that this was a sure thing, it was in the bag-- ( Read more... )
