I woke up for naught--or so I previously thought. I apparently didn't have to go into work today because that particular job was cancelled--it just wouldn't work with my upcoming schedule. Oh well, I'm okay with that.
I had breakfast with a friend--I don't know why, but the appeal of sit-down breakfasts at restaurant aren't that appealing. I mean, what do you have to choose...

Wow. What a day so far.
I woke up, sold some snowboard boots, promptly spent the money on books and food. I think I committed myself to going to Burning Man today. So--we'll see how that goes. I need two or three more people to come with me to share an RV--anyone interested?
It started snowing during lunch, and by the time I left it...

yeah they likely will, though the $25 or so you may pay extra on the ticket pales in comparison to the many other things hehe... BTW, mark your calendar for January 18th... tix on sale.
W00t!

Ah, and in the world of fashion, let me tell ya there's tons of kickass fetish gear on some amazing looking people. Latex is about the only thing that you should resist the temptation to bring - if the daytime heat wasn't bad enough, the playa dust has a heavy concentration of alkalai that's guaranteed to ruin any rubber garment - if not out there, then soon after.

Ultra-lazy. Super-sloth.
I think that sums up this day. It's not a bad day, it's just very lazy.

Drat! Foiled again. I was gonna hang out with this girl today because I couldn't hang out with her yesterday. But--something else came up. They really aren't incidents that I can blame her for so it's just bad luck I guess. Ahh well, next time.

Read a book, listen to some tunes, chill. Oh, and try to keep warm here on the frozen tundra!

So--meat or dessert? That's the question weighing on my mind right now. I'd have to say meat.
(Vegetarians, replace "meat" with the most delicious food you've ever tasted).
How can you get better than steak. All delicious and meaty. There's a whole taste (to go along with sweet, sour, bitter and salty) dedicated to the taste of beefsteak. Imagine that.
Meeeeeat.
Chopsticks does not have...

So I had a couple interviews today.
The first one was the really cool job that would actually allow me to use my physics. However, I must first be accepted for the job. I think my biggest hang up was trying to be interviewed by a robot. I swear to god this guy was a machine. He had no emotion, I couldn't judge him. He...

I know, it's like something you'd read about in a tabloid or in Believe It Or Not...
Good luck with the interviews... mostly with the robot one because it sounds like quite a challenge, but I wish you luck with either.

I hate the job search process. Especially when they include an interview like the first one you described... I've had quite a few of those myself (but I did get the job, so...) Good luck!
Wow.
Wow.
What happened there?
That was one hell of a night. That was definitely my rockstar moment. I have to say thank you to everyone there and also a special thank you to everyone who helped take care of me in my time of need. I am proud to say that throughout all of that, I didn't puke on myself at all! Like, nothing....

Glad to see you up and around! After how very ill you looked towards the end of the party, I was worried about you. Do I even want to ask how much you had to drink?
Granted, after the dare you took, I can see where you might have needed a few pints of liquid courage...

hahahaha, it was nice meeting you dude.
I just read that the base ticket price will be $185. Up $10 from last year, but in all not too bad an increase...it's still the best money I'll spend all year. The skinny.
Aside from any clothes, costumes, or other gear, there's a cool camp called the Black Rock Boutique. They operate a sort of outfit/costume shop. All year long they collect, make, or even buy burner-esque attire, and then set up "shop" someplace near center camp to cater to first time burners, as well as those with a sense of adventurous style. I use quotes, of course, because despite being a shop or boutique, everything in it is free.
