Well, the time has finally come. I may have to actually go get a job. I had estimated that I would have to do this much earlier, but that doesn't make it feel any better. I spent about 4 days drinking, watching crappy movies, and sleeping for extended amounts of time.

It is surprising how difiicult it is to find an adequate-pay type job in...

Well, Christmas went marginally better than I thought it would. I got together with a couple of friends and we just wandered around the capital Christmas eve and ate some ethiopian food. Unfortunately, said ethiopian food was not prepared correctly so I got to be quite ill for the rest of the evening. I actually hallucinated and had fever dreams. It was just like a...

Unfortunately, he was unaware that I've been drinking wine since I was in the womb. He kept trying to reenact Fight Club (and he's 6'3" and fiftiish so it was interesting). I...

Then we did the jaunt to a coffeeshop combined with subdued polite conversation. Afterwards a female friend...

I have started giving change/dollars to homeless people again. During my undergrad years I did this and was particularly jaded when I saw the guys I gave it to...

Well, this has been a laid back day. I poured through some math methods and quantum stuff to no avail. I've been skimming some of my work, munching on these really awesome whole grain sourdough baguettes, and sipping some cheap (but bearable) Argentinian wine. Then I decided to finally join Suicide Girls. I went to a party or two back in Los Angeles where a...
