Allergies

Do any of you guys have experience with over-the-counter allergy medication? I'm tired of snot running down my face like I'm a four year old boy.

A thought:

I should really start updating this thing more, especially considering it's summer! Poor, neglected LJ :(

Are you...somebody's daughter?

One of the blogs I follow (Coilhouse) posted an article about an evangelical Christian movement called "Somebody's Daughter" designed to instill guilt for those who enjoy pornography, prostitution, etc.. The movement (of course!) comes with a catchy anthem with such inspiring lyrics as "When her beauty is defiled/I demean us both."

Enjoy:

Dear Microsoft,

May I inquire as to why I have to reboot your Windows XP operating system after I:
  • Install Office software?
  • Install Internet Explorer 7?
  • Think about installing software?
  • Look at the computer?
  • Sneeze?
Regards,

!!!

I just found out that a bunch of my favorite musicians are playing in Salem this summer over a three day festival! I really want to go, but a. It's pretty pricey ($100+) b. I've never been to a music festival before, and perhaps most importantly c. I don't have anybody to go with.

I need to figure this out quickly.

Sobriety, part two

As a follow up to this post: Since that post, I've moved into a new dorm. I hadn't heard much about that girl until about a month ago, when I asked a friend about her. Apparently, she's dropped out from Willamette, and is now going to bartending school up in Portland. Reports are that she's very happy. Go figure.

Woah.

I have a final paper (a short one, no less) on one of the favorite movies of all time (The Matrix), but I have so thoroughly checked out from this school year that I just can't muster the motivation to finish it.

I just wanna kick it at the school for another week or so without any academic obligations. Is that too much to ask?

October Sky

Have you seen the movie October Sky? If you have, what did you think of it? According to multiple sources, it is a "boy movie;" I want to test that hypothesis.

Summer '09

It seems that I'll be sticking around Salem this summer, for better or worse. I got a full-time job working at my school, doing manual labor and tech-related things.

Still not sure how I feel about this. I had a really hard time finding a summer job last year, so this is definitely a relief. It'll also be kind cool to be living a bit more independently - i.e., away from my parents, paying rent on my own, etc..

However, Salem is a really shitty city. I won't really know anybody here, and there won't be much to do. The hours are more than I have ever worked before. And I love Portland in the summer.

Let's see how it goes.

Résumé

Does anybody have any handy hints/suggestions while writing a résumé? I've never really done this before :(

Alright, I'll admit it - I am pretentious about music.

Economics is horseshit. Between my microeconomics class and everything that has been happening in the world of finance recently (oh hello recession), I'm beginning to believe more and more that economics is nothing more than smoke and mirrors; a very poor social science masquerading as a "hard" science. It may just be a combination of me disliking my micro class and Jon Stewart ripping Jim Cramer a new one.

(Also hello new default userpic. Please stay a while.)

Wheels of Steel

Somebody just buy me two 1200s and a mixer. Please? I'll be forever grateful.

First Week of the Obama Presidency

So far, so good.

Jan. 23rd, 2009

Obama Panorama

Some photographer took a huge panorama shot of Tuesday's Inauguration with ridiculous detail. You can zoom in, check out what almost every individual is doing (Yo-Yo Ma is taking a picture with his iPhone!), and even see government snipers in the background. Definitely worth checking out.

Jan. 20th, 2009

Oh hey there

President Obama.

I'll admit, I teared up a bit during his inaugural address. What can I say? The man's a powerful speaker.

I feel like such a wuss. It's been almost a week since I got my wisdom teeth removed and it still hurts enough for me to take oxycodone.

On the other hand, drugs!

I think there's a frog living in our backyard :O

Jan. 11th, 2009

oh oxycodone

I've never really taken many drugs. My general health is usually pretty good and I don't do recreational drugs in any form.

This whole oxycodone thing is really messing with me. I've never felt so lightheaded before, and I really don't like it :(

Jan. 10th, 2009

Teef

Got all four of my wisdom teeth out yesterday! The procedure itself wasn't bad at all. The worst part was being stuck with an IV - after that, I remember almost nothing. Thanks drugs!

Recovery time has been pretty quick. I can now eat pretty much whatever, except for things with seeds and anything out of a straw. Plus, I get a whole bottle of oxycodone to down. Again, thanks drugs!

Post-Christmas

Got some sweet loot for Christmas - Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool and a frame for a vinyl album. Still not sure what I'm going to put in the frame since I don't own any vinyl, but I'll try to change that.

The snow has basically all disappeared, meaning I can actually start getting out and seeing people! It's a miracle that I didn't end my entire family in this week or so we've been stuck inside.

I've been talking with a friend of mine lately and we've been thinking about going in together on a pair of turntables and a mixer. I'm still not entirely sure if it's a good idea; turntables are a steep investment, and there's no guarantee anything good will come of them.

It sure is, dude from Yahoo! news, it sure is.

Winter Update

So I finally got back from school today, and am not pleased in the slightest about the weather. I think I'm already developing cabin fever and may go Donner Party in a few days if the snow doesn't clear.
