In the process I&#8217;ve stumbled upon some horrendous Internet pages I haven&#8217;t seen since Mosaic 1.2 back in -95, and I&#8217;ve noticed that <em>some people<\/em> don&#8217;t bother to show any contact info. It&#8217;s actually an interesting concept; Creating a very personal site and then hiding yourself from view. Then again, since I&#8217;m actually trying to get in touch with these people it&#8217;s annoying.<\/p>\n<p>* Going for a job interview tomorrow regarding a two week stint at a warehouse. I&#8217;m so enthusiastic that I can hardly contain my joy and radiant happiness.<\/p>\n<p>* Meeting up with Ann-Charlotte Glasberg tomorrow, who is the person who&#8217;s handling the essay thingy. And there&#8217;s this unnerving sense of shame at not having written more than the <i>two-and-a-half pages of feces<\/i> that I&#8217;ve put to print. I&#8217;ve been told that a man always has to be ready to <i>perform<\/i>, and it&#8217;s depressing. (although I might be taking that saying out of it&#8217;s proper context)<\/p>\n<p>* There were some suggestion about a punk concert tomorrow evening? And beer? Neat!<\/p>\n<p>* Christmas is coming. Here&#8217;s the upside of having divorced parents and a fractioned family: I don&#8217;t have to get gifts to everybody. Yay. The amount of IOU&#8217;s that I&#8217;ve given as a present over the years is ridiculous, and if I once get called on those I&#8217;m gonna be their bitch for three months and would prolly be required to quit smoking (mom actually has asked me for such an IOU).<\/p>\n<p>Now I have to finish sending off a few emails, and then home to heat something. <em>tea<\/em> most likely. And watch Sopranos. There&#8217;s been a lot of that lately (Anna got hooked).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, a short rundown of the past week.
