Excelsior!
I MUST fill out applications today.
Their seem to be three places that are hiring, are nearby, and not totally crappy.
They are:
Barns and Noble
This is low on my list. It has the strictest dress code, is farthest away, and only hiring for mornings. But on the other hand, its hard too beat cheap books as an employee benefit.
I am a crotchety old fart. Or at least I am turning into one. Or maybe I am just turning into a mute. I havent been saying much of anything lately. Im being generally uncommunicative.
My lack of comments isnt because I have been away from the site, its because I cant think of anything to say. Imagine being gagged with writers block, which about... Read More
Being gagged with writer's block (lovely phrase, btw) always makes me wish I could crack my skull open and dig the words out. I know they're in there, but they're afraid to come out.
I actually worked with a mute not long ago and he was rather communicative.
Ah, but if you were Silent Bob you'd have to look after Jay, which I suspect would be difficult.
I keep getting dragged away from the computer before I have a chance to make an update here.
Plants are green, and the sky is gray. The rainy season is here. And I have a reasonably sized stack of books to read, including Lovecraft, John Stewart, and that damnable Howard Zinn, whose book I STILL havent finished. I just cant get into it, maybe I... Read More
Cool: Arriving hours early to have a soundcheck before a gig and getting to backline your gear on stage so it's all ready to go.
Uncool: Getting a phone call 5 minutes before the first band plays and being told you need to move all your equipment and arriving at the club where everyone is touching all of your gear when you told them to leave it alone until you got there.
That's how the gig started out. I guess it ended up being ok in the end. Oh well that's the breaks...Onward to the next one this Sunday in Newport Beach, CA. Hopefully people will come...
This has got to be one of the most depressing things I have ever read. I dont think I am the greatest thing to happen to mankind. So me settling down wont herald in an age of stupid. But the idea that finding someone you love will remove your creative drive bothers me.
". . . the feeling of being everything and the evidence of being nothing." I happened upon this phrase in my youth and was overwhelmed by it. Everything I felt in those days, and everything I would feel from then on, was summed up in this extraordinary banal formula,the synthesis of expansion and failure, esctasy and impasse. Most often it is not in a paradox but in a truism that revelation appears.
Glad the card showed up. Looks as though you never left us, which makes me happy. And, no, I can say I never wanted to do that. Though, nude leap-frog always held some appeal.
After I finished working it looked like I'd jumped in a pool. That's how much I sweated.
Grrr stupid bank! Well, on the seventh, my account will need renewing. My card expired and the bank still hasnt sent me a new one. The upshot of that is my account will be inactive for five to seven business days. But when my card shows up, I think Im gonna buy a year of SG.
Schools done with for the summer. This has resulted in an overabundance of free time. So, anyway, you would think that Id be online a bit more I guess I havent been feeling sociable. But for the next two months or so, I should be here. A lot.
I hope the fireworks on Friday will be good! I love fireworks.
Anybody have any cool plans... Read More
Cool for you that school is done! How did your music project go? I was wondering if I might be able to impose on you....we need some help distributing promo items for our August show there in Tucson. If you have some free time and wouldn't mind helping that would be great. No obligation of course. We could get in you in free to the show and give you some free stuff in return.
I shaved today. I had a Van Dyke. Now my face is naked.
I guess that means my evil twin will have hurry up and grow one. Maybe he can just pen one in, until a real one grows in.
Im thinking about getting a webcam, I need a new toy.
Imagine the scene from The Cat in the Hat when the kids are stuck... Read More
And I have a feeling conjoined twins can do some pretty remarkable sexual favors. Or, at least, pretty freakish ones. Kinda the same thing.
Ouch re $ for school tuition......
P.S - Thanks again sooo much for helping with the promotions!
