I always find it kind of weird that going home has my internet prescence die. At the same time it is a very seperate part of my being, so in essence it is like killing a part of me. This is one of the few forums in which I actually do some relatively heavy soul-searching and self-discovery, of which I do not really do elsewhere.
In other news I've been working for 2 weeks, MWF 10am-4pm, doing lots of menial jobs and some very basic promotional work, making brochures and listing the properties on Craigslist. The most noteworthy event that has happened to me because of this job is meeting a relatively influential Detroit artist. Jon Strand is a longtime Detroit resident and because of his experiences in 30-odd years of living in Detroit and producing art he was given a book deal to talk about Detroit, art and any connections he's made between the two in those 30-odd years.
Outside of that I've been catching up with friends, amazingly enought I just realized that the Grosse Pointe folks I hung out with in Ann Arbor, amazingly enough, are in Grosse Pointe - it only took me about a month to figure it out. This resulted in a bowling trip on Tuesday where I bowled a respectable 100+ and two solid 150-ish rounds.
I also reconnected with the first real friend I made in Grosse Pointe. We saw Clerks 2 yesterday, I thouroughly enjoyed it, and proceeded to chat for a while about things in general, reminiscing some and talking about the future as well.
More good news, I am officially readmitted to the University of Michigan, without a probationary period no less. It was touch and go for a while as letters went missing and petitions went unconfirmed. Thankfully it's all over and I just have to work my ass off to come out of here with two degrees, hopefully the second will have a solid GPA.
On a random ending note, my cellphone was faxed three times yesterday. I called them back, got the screeching dial-up noise, and it was over.
That's all, leave me a message and I'll get back to it pretty quickly.
