hmmm... should update with something interesting...
okay, class is off to a great start. Doing a tech theater degree at Mt. Hood, and it's kinda weird how I have several folks common to all my classes (the in-person ones, anyway). Doin' a web-based class, which was unheard of the last time I was in college. So it's weird.
Still, there are benefits. Apparently, some of the tech students (undesirable tech rats like me) work on local shows. Some were at NIN (if I heard correctly), some at Green Day, stuff like that. Not much fun doin' tech for those things, but it does give you "special access" to the bands you work with. Nice way to network.
Not sure how long I'll have to be there before I get gigs like that, but I've done it in Cali before. No one knows me here yet, and that's depressing.
Just have to take time like everyone else. Quite humbling, really. Give me a few months, and maybe I can hook you up (if we're friends).
Otherwise, things are well. Even though this neighborhood is annoying me daily (82nd by Woodstock), I'm enjoying my roommates much better. They're cool, smart, and none mind my shamelessness.
Life could be a hell of a lot worse.
