Job Searches and Other Heartaches

I just got back from a second interview for an administrative assistant position at Zeek's Pizza - a Washington chain. My odds are good: 100 applicants > 50 applications read > 8 interviews > 3 second interviews. If I get this position, my ego may just blow up.

It's a happy day. The sun is brilliant, the air is sweet. On the bus, I just ended up with one great song after another on my mp3 player (stuff like THIS and THIS and THIS and THIS). Amazing how music can affect your mood so.

Now I need to get this leftover interview nervousness out and go find some good climbing trees...

Cartoonist Kate Beaton is the coolest.

She is smart, funny, and draws really fantastic comics about historical figures.

Can I please be just like her?

Artopia and Georgetown

Yesterday I took a two-hour bus ride to Georgetown to experience the much-touted Artopia art and music festival. Not worth it; especially when I waited an hour for the bus coming back. They had power-tool derby races, some garage bands, and a couple booths selling things. The coolest thing there was ARTOPIA painted in blue letters on the ground. At first it looked like this:



But then the letters became uniform when you stood at a certain point:


Georgetown itself was interesting. Lots of crumbly brick factories and hairy hippies.

It's frustrating how nowadays unless you have a facebook page you may as well not exist. Even with the Internet, some people are so mysterious. I'm left wondering about an old friend from college...and wishing I would have gotten to know them better while I had the chance...

Low Tide at Golden Gardens

I woke up feeling like something crucial is missing from my life.

I think it's sleeping in this damn huge bed.

Spent 'til noon researching jobs, and getting more and more depressed. So I made myself a delicious breakfast feast.

Oh San Francisco
