Daniel's not feeling well now. It seems like the virus has a very long incubation period. I left it with a few of my family members back home too... Bummer!
Laughing over Jameth, as usual.
Still looking for work and finding it hard to get motivated again. Hoping to get the job. It was one of the first ones I interviewed for, and I've been waiting a month to hear back about a second interview when the director gets back from his month-long motorcycle vacation. I still have good leads through friends that have been very fruitful. It's been fun meeting new contacts and hearing that I'm actually pretty good at graphic design. I have my rent paid through July, at least. Portfolio and resume here.
I've been reading Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain for the past couple of months. It's been very helpful for dealing with LP's death. (I also found out about someone else's death back home last week who I briefly knew ten years ago.) I find it very fascinating -- it's very spiritual, philosophical and biological at the same time. I have a quarter of the book left. Some pages are one entire paragraph though and I mostly read before bed, so sometimes I can't get through one page before I fall asleep. There was one agonizing chapter I tried reading during my fever. The intensely philosophical dialog between two characters kind of made me more ill and unable to sleep.
Can't wait for free sushi and Dewer's tomorrow night! Can't wait for our trip to Portland in August!
