(no subject)
I've been meaning to do a real update for a good long time now, but there's just been so much stuff I haven't got a chance. Here's the scoop in ultra abbreviated format.
Got that job I interviewed for at the place doing Paula Deen stuff for the Food Network. Have done three days there already. Unpaid, but they claim will unfold into paid position later this summer. I'm skeptical. Interesting, and I get to use Avid, but they don't seem to know how to use interns as well as Optomen, who I miss already.
Finals came and went.
Got back into playing Team Fortress 2, and also World of Warcraft after John got bitten by the bug. Having fun with both, and will soon have the time to.
Got an apartment. Pics.
As you can see, "closet" might be more accurate. It's only (very roughly) 6x12, though 6.3x12.5 might be a little closer. It's got a sleeping loft, basically a second floor just big enough for a matress, which clears up a lot of floorspace. Nice big window that opens easily and overlooks a courtyard garden. A small radiator for heat, ceiling fan, two ceiling lights, nice big closet and a cubby overtop it in the loft. Tons of electric sockets. Doesn't have a full kitchen, just a sink and some cabinets, though we've got a mini fridge (the full sized fridge in those pics does not exist) and with a little electric range or microwave, maybe a hot plate, it can basically imitate a full kitchen. Bathroom is in the hall shared with one other guy. Third floor walkup.
Sounds like total crap, right, even if it is in my price range? You'd be hard pressed to find a better location if you had the whole city to choose from. Upper west side, 80th street to be exact, so close to the natural history museum I could throw things at it. I can deal with the space, I think I've lived in smaller. And the location turns it around so I think I got really lucky.
Anyway, moving on for now.
Today I graduated. Huh. That happened. Proud to say it was Tisch responsible both for starting the wave and causing John Sexton to kind of trail off in his speech and having a guy break through the security cordon and rush the field.
Now I need to move out. Cleaning room up today. Ikea tomorrow. Friday most stuff goes.
There's probably other stuff, but it'll need to wait. Work now.
