Stressful Times
This week's been incredibly taxing on my mind. I just started summer courses at Portland State, but am realizing quickly that condensed courses are not my cup of tea; I can get through the two history courses, probably, with a bit of overdrive at times. The literature class I had registered for isn't as condensed, but I feel incredibly ( Read more... ) -
Why Spine Labeling and Koei Don't Go Together
At FGCL, I'm technically working as a Circulation Assitant and a Mender/Processer, but lately I've just been doing one side project both shifts. That being the gargantuan task of putting new, easily readable spine labels on the adult fiction books. Gargantuan because of the countless items in the adult fiction section. Obviously, working on the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
In an attempt to keep people up to date about my goings-on, I'm going to try and update my LJ once a week as a minimum. Haven't been terribly good about updating this sort of thing, but things change. Like my transitions from just player in RPGs to DMing and from pay-your-own-way college student majoring in social science to loan-accepting ( Read more... ) -
Stuff... and possibly Things as well
Well, these past few weeks have been a bit frustrating at times. Enough so that I'm actually making use of this blog that I hardly ever use - especially for things that are actually, well... not pointless, random meme-type posts. But there's a few things that have gotten under my skin enough that I guess I need to vent a bit.
So, in other words ( Read more... ) -
An exercise in 'Nightmare Casting'...
This is an idea my friend came up with to pass the time: nightmare casting. It's based on the premise of how people keep posting in forums who they'd cast for a movie based on video games. In the original case, it was for Metal Gear Solid. The idea for nightmare casting is to pick the worst possible people for the roles.
Heeeere, I'll put up a ( Read more... ) -

BEHOLD, AN UPDATE!!!
May the Powers That Be (TM) be praised! After over a year, I am updating my LJ once more! And what, praytell, am I posting about today?
Well, in two words: random crap. Yup, random things that have occured lately that I feel are worth mentioning.
Firstly, back in April I went to my very first anime convention - Sakura Con in Seattle, the first ( Read more... ) -
So that's why Target employees wear red!
Hello everyone, I have a quick tale to share about perhaps the most perplexing character to ever grace my checkout line with his presence. He had come with his wife and his daughter - who had a makeup item that was on clearance. Apparently, they'd purchased the same thing at the Sherwood store earlier, but it was cheaper there. They insisted ( Read more... ) -
Price Gouging at College?
A very short entry today - the first day of Winter Term 2006 at PCC - since I'm typing this during the break of my Math 65 class. For as little as I make from Target, this term's prices are nasty: $871.00 for tuition/fees, and a grand total of $159.50 for books (for two classes, if I can get a used Geology textbook for $63.35). A little help, ( Read more... )
