Other random updates from the last couple of weeks, in which I have:

• Begun working at Barnes and Noble, in the Cafe. It's not bad, but it's only about 20 hours/week at minimum wage, so I'll need another / a real job soon as well. It's nice to be doing something, though.

Church people can be so strangely and creepily clingy to ( Read more... )

Made it to LA. Have spent the last several days unpacking and hanging out with the new roommates, and meeting a few other folks from around. It's been great, except for the whole unemployed thing. I'm working on that tomorrow, though. Wish me luck. Oy ( Read more... )
