Stress, Ska and Slovakia
Last night in Davis before heading back for Spring break... and STILL I have too much to do to get any sleep tonight. I think I've averaged 1.4 nights a week of actual sleep for most of this quarter; ie not taking a nap and waking up at 1am to start homework.
Today I was panicked about not having a ride home, but then that miraculously resolved itself:
[20:33:52] Snail of DEATH: YOU Arjun, are going to magically use your powers to teleport me to Orange County within the next 24 hours.
[20:33:53] *** Auto-response from Cman006: im in the house..call the cell fool
[20:35:57] Cman006: actually
[20:35:57] *** Auto-response sent to Cman006: deep jedi procrastination
someone want to give me a ride down south?? )=
[20:36:04] Cman006: eric lives in orange county
[20:36:08] Cman006: and is going to be driving down tomorrow
[20:36:09] Cman006: so yes
[20:36:12] Cman006: my magic powers work again
So... I called Eric and was like "I hear you're going down to Orange County," "yes," "you leave tomarrow?" "yes," "got room for a passanger?" "yes," "can I like.. tag along then?" "yes." So... that was craziness.
Now hopefully my plans to get me to Ska Summit in Vegas at the end of the week work out and its all good. But even if Nick stays on the same page we were on last time we talked, we're still in need of somewhere to stay while there... anyone reading this who's gonna like.. be there? Hmm I should post on OC Ska dot com. ehh.. psha on that.
Otherwise.. God bless the Trogdor Arcade Game, my source of procrastination of choice. Level 18 is a freakin biotch though!!
Aand I should be like everyone else and comment on the war or something. We're all about "coalition forces" this time aren't we. Wasn't the word of choice "allies" just as recently as the Afghan adventure? Now its coalition this, coalition that.
And the coalition apparently actually consists of 43 different states. Including like.. Slovakia*. Saddam better look out because once he figures out where on the map Slovakia is or what the hell their flag looks like they're gonna kick his ass!
And 73-76% of America supports the war apparently. Who woulda guessed.
*Actually I've been to Slovakia, stayed in the presidential cabin and in a secure government compound in the capitol, had my photo taken on top of a tank there... the usual things. For serious. Some of the photos are in the "feelin artsy" category of my picture pile at photos.yahoo.com/winged_snail. Blah I don't like the title of that category but I can't come up with a better one. I change it periodically. Its just pictures which are there for the sake of I think they look good.. or something. Oh and Slovakia actually has a very nice flag.
ALSO today I found out I didn't get the internship I'd been hellbent on getting for this summer. I'm heartbroken. Or I would be if I was still sane enough to feel emotion. God dammit I don't want to work at Wild Rivers for year number SIX. I MUST get a job/internship in Eastern Europe (like say... Slovakia...) or I am going to shrivel up and die. I haven't been out of this country in FOUR YEARS. So yea.. I dunno.
