Better Luck Next Time

Well, I got a call back from that band, Junior Electric. They said they were gonna still be looking for a drummer. Which kinda sucks, cos I think I would have really liked playing with them. But if it's not to be, then it's not to be.

This just means that I'll be back to scouring Craig's List in search of an other possible band.

I'm officially done with grad school now. Gave my presentation on Monday, and it went well. I haven't gotten my grad back yet... hold on, nope not posted yet. Oh well, I'll have an A in the class anyway.

I think I'm gonna start reading that CSS book from work this weekend... maybe grab the lappy and head to a coffee shop or something for a while. It's gonna take a little dedication to really teach myself all the stuff I need to know. But the fact that I'm genuinely interested in it will make it easier.

I think Amber and I are gonna take a flash course sometime next month, which will be cool.

I'm going out to Morris tomorrow evening with Chris and Dave to see their band The American Autumn play. Should be good time. If you're around, you should come out.

Aight, I'm gonna go scour craigslist.

Happy birthday to me!

I went home Yesterday to spend some time with my family, as Liss and Iska were back home for their spring breaks. Since my b-day is on Tuesday, this was a good time to see everyone, who I haven't really seen since new years.

I was going to go rock climbing with Katie earlier on Saturday, but she had a rough Friday night and really wasn't in the right condition to climb. It's a sad thing, because now I won't see her until she's back home from school... But at the same time, maybe that's enough time to really let all the feelings die so we can continue on with our friendship.

I had a productive Saturday though, I got my emissions tested on my car, and then an oil change. And then I finally got around to returning the crockpot I got for Christmas (already had one) and got some sweet new pans. Wooooooo pans!!!!

I played a few games of pool with my dad, played with the Chihuahuas, and had a nice relaxing day.

We went out to dinner at 1776, which is a very tasty place. I had wild boar and venison. Hellz yea.

My sister and Iska got me a full 12 pound frozen turkey for my b-day (and a nice Express gift card). They. Are. Ridiculous.

My parents got me some sweet stuff too. The new Tolkein book (finished by his son) and a graphic fantasy novel with mice. I also got a kick ass new camera which will help me document my trip to Europe all the better. I'll setup a flikr stream or something for that.

I'm going to jam/audition with this band Junior Electric this evening, and I'm pretty exciting. I really dig the music they've been making, and I think it would be a really good situation to be in. So wish me luck.

Peace.

I think Colbert is a little drunk

I've been watching to Colbert Report this evening, and he has slurred his words about 3 times. Though he's already made fun of Hitler, John Stewart, and that North Korean leader. Kim Jung Eel? Something like that.

Last weekend was pretty cool. I partied like I was 22 again. Friday night, Steve, Doug, Kels, Nathan and I went to a club. It was dumb. People spilled drinks on my feet and drinks were really expensive. I left early, took a cab home, ate soup, and passed out. But over all it was actually a good night, due to good people.

Most of Saturday was spent playing video games with Doug and napping.

Heh, now the director of the New York Philharmonic is on. He's actually a pretty funny man. It's a nice change from the normal politcal people they've had on recently.

You know, the only way I know anything about what happens in the world is thanks to John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. So I'd like to thank them. And use their names in my blog in hopes that I get some more google search hits.

I could say things like "Fur is murder" or "I love abortion" just to see if I end up getting any google hits. That's the fun thing about being able to track that.

It's a shame meta tags don't really mean much anymore. I suppose they were too easily manipulated.

I can't wait to really be done with grad school. I have so much useful stuff I'd like to learn, but so much stupid stuff I must finish.

Isn't it weird how people who learn english in england (non-native english speakers) then have british accents. And I suppose it I were to learn spanish in spain, hispanic spanish speakers would hear the accent in me (and I suppose I in them).

Just a little random thinking, though not really profound.

Aaaaaaaand, I'm out.
