On the way to my interview today (with Starcom, which I think [knock wood, cross fingers, avoid black cats, etc.] went really well), I ran into my ex-girlfriend, who I haven’t talked to in at least two months. It actually wasn’t bad, it was just very odd circumstances. I was all dressed up for my ...

Stick figure kung fu. This was sent to me a while ago, and it’s very amusing. I bookmarked it, and was pleasantly surprised to see it’s still up. Must sleep…

I had my first job interview today, with Microsoft‘s marketing people. I think it went pretty decently, though the obvious questions of “So, um, if you haven’t taken any marketing courses, why should we hire you?” and “If you like music so much, why do you want to go the corporate route?” came up. It’s ...

James Coburn died. To me he’ll always be Sedgewick, the wily Austrailian “manufacturer” in my favorite movie, The Great Escape. This guy did everything from The Magnificent Seven to The Muppet Movie. That’s range. RIP, Sedgewick.

It’s very funny how everything comes in cycles. Example: Most of the people I know who were in relationships last year are no longer so now (including me), and those who were single are currently in relationships. Sarah mentioned at least the single-people-finding-love half of this equation in her livejournal earlier today, which got me ...

The official ski report at Sun Valley, the place I always go skiing, has posted a forecast that has at least “slight chance of snow” or better for every day in the next week. They’ve had this up for about three weeks, because technically, there is a slight chance of snow, even if it’s sunny ...

So my Evil Landlord does own my building after all. I called the people who I thought owned the building now (see below) and they were like, nope, we just show it, you should call the City of Evanston on him. Health Department, here I come…

So I found out that my Evil Landlord does not, technically, own my building. This came as news to me, since we all write our checks to him every month. However, after finally saying that’s it! and passing out flyers asking anyone having similar heating problems to call him so he’d stop fucking around on ...
