I moved

So I no longer live with my parents, it's like Freebird! One day I'm going to learn how to play that song on Viola just so I can bust it out at some gig some where some snobby classic rock-aholic demands I move away from the Bach by calling out the Rock anthem that is Freebird. That'll bust'em a new one. On the topic of rock Viola, I've been undergoing Rock Band withdrawal, so I've resorted to playing Rock Band songs on Viola. Viola Hero forever. Right now I'm hammering my way through Reptilia by The Strokes, it'd be nice to get a whammy bar installed on my viola.

Living away from home is kind of nice, but I miss the cat and the free meals. I need a job. The library hasn't gotten back to me on those positions I applied for about a month ago, and according to the Boise website they haven't filled the position either. I think I should do the job that they aren't, that is, going through applications. I don't have internet, I'm actually typing this through my neighbor's unsecured wireless connection. If my neighbors happen to read this, you should get that secured, it's dangerous to type in personal info like passwords over an unsecured network. Also, I promise I'm just using your internet for the essentials, like email and Scrabble. I'll get my own soon (like when I get a job...)

I also need Microsoft Word.

I've been practicing more, which is good. The acoustics in this house are really nice, with the wood floors and all.

Went to Darkwood today. To be honest, I really don't like a lot of the things they play, Danish and Icelandic music just doesn't appeal to me. I also happened to miss the one thing I did want to see this season, the Dvorak Bass Quintet, due to some sort of freak coffee mishap. Jen, you need to take charge of the operation! Don't let Aage push you around because he's taller!

Also went to Dr. Moreau's Clarinet recital. That was kind of fun, their were some freak modern pieces on the program, which is always lots of fun. I didn't know you could play two notes at once on the Clarinet until today. They're called multiphonics! That's a much cooler name than 'double stops'.

Confusion

Scamalot

I got a call the other day that seemed briefly like a dream come true. A job offer! It wasn't from the Library, or Borders, or any of the other places that I applied to. Instead, it was from a company called Vector Marketing, they wanted me to sell kitchen knives for them for $14.50 an hour. I was shocked, $14.50 is pretty freakin' good. Anyway, I promised I'd call them back to confirm the 4:00 interview time they had already set up for me. I played some Bach and then went on the internet to discover more about Vector Marketing and find out what they were all about.

Amazingly, it's actually a scam! Really, who wants to buy a set of knives for $800? And the $14.50 is actually only per appointment, and I forfeit it if I actually manage to trick some idiot into buying the knives. The real source of income comes from their 'employees' (they actually call you an individual contractor, despite not meeting the legal requirements for that status). You have to buy your own set of knives (albeit, at a discounted price) to display to potential customers. It must suck to have a job where you make a living ripping people off...

Procrastinate

I put off signing up for Fiction Writing until today. Oops, it's all full. In my defense, I wasn't sure that I wanted to take this class, so I had signed up for all of my core classes, but simply neglected to sign up of fiction writing. Today I realized that I did need to sign up one way or the other in order to meet the credit requirement for a full time student.

I ended up taking American Literature from the Civil War to Present from 6:00 to 9:00 on Friday nights. Oh joy.

It has, however, occurred to me that an unreasonable number of students who signed up for Fiction Writing will inexplicably fail to show up for class 99% of the time. This postulation is based on observations on the thinning of my English 102 class throughout the semester. I suppose I should try to email the professor and point this out, as they will undoubtedly noticed on there own. If I point out my own perfect attendance and pledge to attend every one of their classes, maybe I can get a permission number. Hey, it's better than American Lit on Friday nights.

In other news, I was recently referred to a band called Harvey Danger. Apparently, they've put their most recent album up for free download. Now, I've heard free music before, so I was a little skeptical about the quality. However, I was tickled to discover that this was actually some pretty good music. Rock on! Download it now! Anyway, if they come to Boise at any point in time, I'd probably go see them.
