    the radio one was really cool and the guy knew what he was talking about
    where as the french one was about wiis and why they are so hard to find

    boo democracy, you shoulda just broken the even numbered ones.

    Our bulbs are paired so when you do that none of them work. I've experimented in this field before. Office lighting is designed to thwart attempts at sabotage. But on the plus side, after asking for daylight simulation bulbs over a year ago, we've finally got them installed.

    Goodbye crushing headaches every day, hello having to recalibrate all our monitors.

    i would have submitted a request to have my lights removed regardless, but this way everyone on the team (save one person) can have theirs fixed at the same time.

    Also, Stale, WaM and I went to a place in Portland called Cacao that had some AMAZING chocolate; there is also a local chocolate facory here in Seattle in Fremont that I used to work near which does some amazing work.

    There's a really fancy chocolate place in Queen Anne, too, across the street from the 5 Spot. I definitely felt like the sales people were looking down on me for wearing jeans there.

    There's a place just a little bit north of the Oregon border that is a wacky Chinese food place. I forget the name, all I remember is it had a giant Buddha as you walked in and they had Strawberry Chicken.

    or tell them that you don't answer stupid questions there. If they want their stupid questions answered they should find an EB.

    Somebody blew up the microwave at work this morning

    they put a metal mug in


    whoops

    Wow. Do people really still do that?

    Someone at my work put something wrapped in aluminum foil in the microwave and it lit on fire.

    So yeah, it happens.

    So after heading off to a rehearsal and bringing everything for my next two rehearsals and recital I still have tonight, it turns out that due to some weird frat rules for the gig it was for I may not actually be playing the gig. And the keyboard for the rehearsal was broken.

    Put that together with the rehearsal monday where after waiting around for an hour they realized they didn't have a piano for me and the rehearsal yesterday where I waited around for an hour and then was on the shittiest little keyboard ever and my week has not exactly been one of things going smoothly. Let's hope the luck turns around soon since I have 5 performances over the next 4 days.

    So the commercial audition was fun
    Very quick, I was just worried I would do something dumb
    I'm fairly sure I won't get it though
    I think they're were going for another physical type (specifically a white person)
    The lady doing the preliminaries talked to me briefly and then out of the blue asked, "Are you Spanish only?'

    PhD payday is better than job payday. It happens less frequently, but when it does you get a fuckton of cash and can live like a king. Until you run out and have to spend the rest of the three months eating dust and giving handjobs to sailors so you can pay your rent.

    The Deadliest Degree

    (see that was supposed to be a joke comparing it to crab fishing because they can make a lot of money in a short time but then they usually blow it all pretty quickly when they hit land. it's kind of stupid if I have to explain it though.)

    I feel so good on payday now that I have my own bank account, because i know where all the money is coming from and where it's going.

    That and I now make 3/4 of the total that me and my ex made when we were still together. Now if I just didn't have this damn car payment!
