Some hot young thing (would have been hot without the zits anyway) just tried to recruit me for a marketing firm after talking to me for 2 minutes. Heh.

Also dudesnude works on my sidekick, that can’t be good.

I don’t think I mentioned it, but a week ago yesterday was my first anniversary at a full time job. I spent it waiting to fly to dc for a briefing where I think I assured that I can make a career here if I want to.

Do I want to?

This job isn’t bad, in fact I might even say it’s good. Already higher salary than anything I’ve had before, including what I made with Ro compared on a per hour basis. Duties aren’t hard. People are friendly. Work is helping me grow in important ways.

It’s also painfully bureaucratic, regimented, dry, uncreative, and not my core interests.

I’ve thought aboout pursuing additional degrees that are more explicitly environmentally focused, but I’m starting to think that that may be a bad idea. More school as a delaying tactic.

Awhile back I had the idea to make documentaries about the issues I cared about. Less self-focused than Moore’s or Gore’s. More like “The Corporation”. I also went to the podcasting seminar at origins and it got me thinking that that would be awfully cool.

Things are better than they were a few months ago on the emotionally dead/depressed front, thoough they still have some distance to go. That is the state of the scu for now.

Finished the book and thus the series.

It was good, if uneven. The best parts immediately preceeded the climax, imho. Not a wild and crazy fan, but I think it was a reasonable return on the time spent reading. =)

I’m living with schrodinger’s roommate … maybe.

Hard to tell when he doesn’t leave his room, or talk to me. With a few exceptions.

Ideally I’d like to live in a 3-5 BR house in a neighborhood with all the essentials (gym, grocery store, large selection of good, but not outrageously expensive restaurants) and at least 2 quality roommates.

I think at the end of my lease in april, I should be able to pull together the housemate picture. Assuming, of course that I don’t fly off in search of another sunset.

So, I can get unlimited free calling to 5 people, my choice, each slot can change once per month. Thing is, I have no idea who to add… Time to run a little perl on my call logs.

Board game night was a ton of fun.

Played lost cities, scepter, and bang. Much fun was had by all.

I won scepter in part by changing out almost all my diamonds for sapphires at the last minute. Bitch denied me my diamond points, so I took his ruby points. It was impressively close given that he remained under gem capacity until the C-artifacts started coming out. And that he only bought opals and rubies, not even sapphires. What this says about my skill, I prefer not to think about too hard. =)

Thanks to Richard, David, Esvan, and for coming over.

Can anyone tell me how to make this universally used piece of crap application rewrap lines on cut & paste?

I miss emacs.

I can’t reach my bank or credit card accounts from the sidekick. Triste.

Maybe there weill be a (much cheaper) iphone for t-mobile in a couple years…

Turns out Toad the Wet Sprocket is playing tomorrow at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Starting at 9. I’m supposed to pick Kevin (who I met at Origins) up from Union Station at 9:15. Triste =(

Hey all,
