  • Another day, another credential.

    My certificate in Applied Business Tech just came in the mail. Now I can really start to look for a job.

    See? SEE? This certificate indicates my validity!

  • Sleeping Post

    I couldn’t get to sleep last night. Then when I was asleep there was a party or something beside my room with some whooping and coughing. I lay awake for a couple of hours after that, and when I was asleep again the phone kept ringing.

    I’m tired today and pretty much good for nothing!

    I hope I get a job soon.*

    *This is, of course, the wrong attitude to take, as I learned in my whatever “get a job” class. The right attitude would be to go out and get a job.

  • More Superficial Superficial

    In the middle of the day I visited the studio and hung papers on the mirror in the order of the days of the week. The shape of which is approximately the schedule for the dance year. I used Scotch brand sticky tape. Mum came along after me and straightened them all out, fixing the overlaps I had left behind.

    Each class has a letter-sized piece of paper.

  • I wish I had more interesting things to talk about in my life. I think it’s just a phase, though.

    But anyway. Today I had a list of things to do and I accomplished everything. First I helped Naomi make a blurb to start publicity for the play (reminder to self and Naomi: start a collection of publicity to send to the Playwrights Guild.)

    Then I finished the brochure for Carlson’s. I had to write bios, which I don’t mind, but was annoyed because I don’t know the people I was writing about. I got over it though since all I really had to do was rearrange pre-gathered information.

    Then I made a poster for the play. It sucks and I’ll probably start again in PhotoShop (I was trying Publisher but no.)

    Then I read ten pages of Aristotle, which always takes longer than I am expecting due to re-reading and actually trying to understand what he was saying.

  • Weekend

    This morning I woke up thinking that the word “susan” was an abbv. for the word “asparagus”.

    Yesterday I woke up with a sore neck and a headache. I also knew all the lyrics to “Baby Got Back”. The wedding, I think, was fun.

  • Currently its 20 celcius

    I was afraid, in the back of my head as to not seem a pessimist/jinx the affair, that it would rain today and I don’t have any significant pretty cover to go over my planned outfit for the wedding. It’s going to be sunny and hot instead, which makes sense, and I will wear a hat to prevent sunstroke.

    Things around me:
    “Where is she now? Where she is now”
    A slim piece of paper with the lyrics to “The Perfect Drug” computer-printed on it in various shades of red. Out of the first stanza the words are highlighted out such: “I got my head unravelling control.” Puts me in mind of dada poetry which I am still Yet To Try.

  • I heard a funny joke on the radio today.

    Yesterday when I went to the Moon I parked in the parking lot immediately adjacent to the building. Usually I park a little ways off, where there is lots of room, for example. I was proud of myself.

  • Concept for a Zine

    I’ve finally thought of something interesting to do. It will be a smallish publication, the mechanics of which I borrow (pilfer) from Feebs. The first part is the title, “Little String” which is the first part that came to me. Each issue/installment will be dedicated to a single person. Reading the book one way will present all of the facts that I know about this person, perhaps in list form, perhaps in anecdotes I remember. Turning the book over and upside down will present another version of the person, one I make up in a story that I completely make up about them, perhaps based a little on what I know about them, but probably more to do with the imaginary vision I have of them (it could be that only the person I am writing about will know the truth about this!) Then, just for fun, I will bind each booklet with string. My copyright info and publication details will do in the very center, I think, so there is neither of the versions is the first one/right one.

    I can do this because the laser printer beside me is working again.

    I have another book on the go now, too, that I can actually put together properly because my mum just got Publisher. (Publisher WILL DO.)

  • I made some art the other day. Yo!

  • What Fun

    Dad: Eeeew!
