countdown to chicago
my flight for chicago is in less than 24 hours and i’m really nervous! it still seems a bit surreal to me that i’m flying all the way out there on my own pretty penny to interview for this job.
but because i do not want to stress myself out, i’m about to go see jens lekman at the loft. i’m really proud of myself actually, the show is sold out and everyone i know is really...
the art:tech student problem
when you save EVERYTHING you’ve done for the past 4 years in college on your external hard drive… and it dies… your entire portfolio of work is gone.
yes, everything. all the music i’ve made, all the samples i’ve recorded, all the projects i’ve ever done. this is why i need to find a way to recover all this data! i don’t want it to invalidate all the hard...
DEAD EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
hey, thanks seagate for making SHITTY products that fail. oh yeah, and thanks for making it financially advantageous for you because when your hard drives fail, you offer your customers insanely high prices to get their data recovered. oh, we don’t want to pay those prices? well then we must void our warranty.
HARD DRIVES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BEEP. WHAT THE FUCK!

more "scarily self-disclosing”
so here goes some more of this…
ever since my stepmom left me a voicemail on march 30th telling me she had put down our dog, i haven’t spoken to them. to be honest, i do not have a good relationship with my parents. they are not supportive of what i want to do, they do not understand what i want to do, and they want me to just be a completely different person than i want to be. they...
mike stop calling me out...
haha this post is dedicated to mike.
yes, i am about to go to school right now and BUY lunch. because i’m tired of eating the same food everyday which i have been the past week, so instead of bringing a lunch, i am purposely going to school to get a burrito from rubio’s.
tomorrow i will resume the bagged lunch.
my first response.
after over two weeks of avoiding and ignoring n, i finally responded to his latest email (which was written four days ago.)
<email from n> i was surprised to read my forecast for the beginning of may… Uranus square Ascendant: Sudden separations Beginning of May 2009 until beginning of January 2011: This influence is likely to have a very disruptive effect on your relationships....
me and n
“something almost scarily self-disclosing” is what someone told me my blog was not. and it isn’t, and perhaps it’s a good thing it is not, but here it goes. the most self-disclosing post you’ll probably get on this public blog. this is stuff i haven’t really said to friends, haven’t really wanted to admit, whatever. i’m sure many of my friends...
roommate etiquette
i really do not mind sharing things with my roommates (since i’ve lived with other people, my old roommates can all acknowledge this) but, i am particular that i do not like people opening things that is not theirs, do not eat/use the last of something and if you do, replace it. i think these are common things that any person should respect. and if you are going to break one of these...
telephone bankers
i just spent half an hour yelling at my online banking folks over at wamu (soon to be chase). it doesn’t make any sense that their “alerts & notifications” come a day late, what is the point of getting an alert then? his response “our alerts don’t come in real time, when we switch over to chase it will be.” THAT’S NOT A FUCKING REASON! oh, so...
class in the digital age
my professor is skyping with our guest lecturer. she is an artist in brazil, and we are looking at slides she had sent over. it’s really cool because i always think people should take advantage of skype and videochat, but at the same time her accent over low quality sound is really hard to make out what she’s saying. plus it’s hard to stay engaged to someone who has no face (she...

work for the rest of spring
i just got my schedule for the rest of the school year, and i’m barely working at night shifts. which is good and bad. good? because i really need some time to focus on finishing school - my life for the last few weeks has been really devoted to the loft (which, i really do not mind.) bad? because i need money.
but it just kind of came down to scheduling, the nights there were events, a lot...
