This morning I woke up at
7 am or so to my three cats running
back and forth across the apartment
as per usual. I had really
nothing in particular to do today, so I
plopped down in front of the computer.
I had
leftover pizza at around 12 from the
toaster oven, and I set to doing every last
web search,
music search, and
research task I had wanted to do for the past several weeks.
I traded assorted
barbs,
jokes, and
techy sorts of things on
#playadelfuego on
irc, and I chatted with my mom on
aim. My mom and I are now both hooked on
Alchemy, this game at
zone.msn.com.
Woe onto ye if you are also
addicted. The highest I've gotten to is
Alchemist 3rd Class. Pretty
frightening.
I got some cds in the mail. An
afrobeat compilation,
Common Like Water for Chocolate,
MC Non-Stop Reggae.
At about
4:20 or so I set the tape for
Babylon 5, as I had a
dinner date for later in the evening. I advised my friend Gina about a
cd-rw for her
laptop, then I got dressed to meet
Drummergrrl. We went to this cafe in
Baltimore called
Donna's. It was kinda
snooty, but we ended up getting
filling meals.
We had this
crazy ditzy waitress that had no clue what was going on. It was so funny. At one point she commented, "
Oh you didn't eat your lemons."
Haha!
Afterwards, we walked around and looked at all the fish that had been
decorated around
Mt. Vernon. There are more in the
Inner Harbor, but we just saw a few near where we were. There was one called "
We" with loads of
spray painted
happy meal toys and
aol cds decorating it. It was really something.
Afterwards, we came back to my apartment, talked,
petted cats, and listened to music.
So this is where you find me. Tomorrow I have an
interview at
UMBC for a
web job. I am also
in consideration for a
full-time help desk position. Both have
tuition remission, I believe. I am definitely
qualified for the help desk position, and mostly qualified for the web one. There is a good chance I'll get one of them due to my
experience and
knowing half the tech department :). I am still nervous though. I do need a job to help with
graduate school, and to get out of the damn apartment. Now I am off to watch my Babylon 5 tape.
hugz.
