Finally gotten around to making Ron's copy of this show...Xmas gift part II so to speak...One tape is kinda a cheapo gift...at least give him two...

When essentially the whole issue is about the new white house sex scandal, I could do w/o the free issue of _Time_, thankyouverymuch.

I cleaned/tidied my room today. It was beginning to get disgusting...ashes all over the desk, dust all over everything, books and papers piled here/there and everywhere...boxes of paper waste sitting there, begging to be recycled...jeesh. Greg tidies his room often, but he has a good reason--he has company often. Last time I had someone other than Liz or Mike in my room (even for a briefly as that normally lasts) was...um, I don't even know. When I want company, I go to Greg's. Odd how when I was in high school, everyone I knew/hung out with was younger than me...now everyone is older than me. I dunno, I seem to get along better with people at least two or three years older than myself...and you know what's sad, I just realized the only real "friend" I have in the entire Bay Area is Barb Hardaway...she's older than my parents! We "do" shows together...we're good ol "concert buddies"...why, well because she can listen to me prattling on and on and on about music/concerts/tapes...in fact, that's what our conversations always seem to center on...eitehr she's spewing or I'm spewing...so lovely to be aroudn someone like me--we can relate, despite the age difference...I wonder if when I get married (if) the women will be much older than me--my guess is at least a few years older...but *man* oh *MAN* are there so cute girls n most of my classes now. Huh, Liz left a pair of panties on the toilet seat...i didn't say anything though--why instigate any more embarrasment than walkin' in and seeing them lying on the floor would cause her.

Ran into one of the otehr tapers from the LOS show...or rather, he ran into me as I was takin a smoke during a break in Physics lab...it was his first recording on his D8 he'd said. I think he only has that portable DAT player--if I bump into him again I should give him my list and tell 'em I'd be glad to make some clones for him...completely spaced it when I was talking with him. Ah well. I don't haev anotehr physics lab for abou 6 weeks..Today we had a math quiz, and I'm embarrassed to discover I forgot the fucking quadratic equation! Fucked up and used 4ac-b^2 instead of the other way around...jeesh. THe quiz was tougher than I'd imagined it would be--drawin on stuff I only barely remembered from my Calculus courses...funny, I don't remember needing *any* of that math for physics the first time around...

I suppose I might as well talk about the quote on the front page...as in, it changes when it fits the mood. Right now it's a Vonnegut quote I put in just cuz I wanted a Vonnegut quote. Probably will change often (even daily) regardless of whether there's an entry for the day...so those of you who check in hoping for a new entry and don't get one at least have something from me...

I didn't get the office job. McDonalds hasn't called back either. Pizza Hut in Eureka called about setting up an interview however...I don't know about McDonalds so I told 'em I was still interested...tough call on which job would be better...i worked in pzza for about three days (and, incidentily, they must have never processed my quitting, since the company sent me a W2 for 97...$0.00 earnings, $0.0 taxes. Hah! Idiots.) and decided I didn't like it a whole lot...MD right not be much better, but at least I've never worked there b4...

A big Toriphile (Tori Amos fan, for those not in the linguiastic "know") got a loan of a bunch of my analog tori tapes...don't know why I hadn't done it b4 when she was in my calls last spring...the glow in her eyes was so bright...nice enough gal I suppose. Could make a good friend...

My room feels bare to me now.

I have this huge stockpile of canned vegetables from Safeway...hey, at two bits a can this month, I can't help picking up a few whenever I'm in there for something else...sale ends in a couple more days--I should get some more...i'm almost out of tuna. Tuna and Pickle Relish sandwhiches are great. Made spaghetti tonight...any more usual factoids to spew 'bout food? Um, no.

AH, I knew I could pull another worthless bit of my life from my ass...I need to do laundry. See. Look at me, I can make everday life seem just as boring as it really is! What a writer!

I have no idea what the singer just said...English as an only language can have his drawbacks sometimes, but hey, if you're only going to know one language fluantly, English is most assuridly it. The rest of the world has adapted itself to it...bad for education in the U.S., since it puts little importance on foreign language study...

A women in my Engl 406 made an annoucement that there was a job open *right* now, like, start tommorrow, for 2-3 grade teaching in Klamath Falls...don't even need a BA for it--the're desperate...I *almost* stopped after class to ask her about it...maybe that's an option to consider...taking a few semesters off to work as a teacher like that so I can make $$$ to finish off college with. Only problem is I doubt the school would be very happy...knowing me I'd get all wrapped up in the job and never get back to college anyway...then I'd be stuck as a teacher for the rest of my life--not that that would be so bad...but a teacher who writes? unheard of. When you are asked what you do, and you answer "I'm a teacher" it's not identifying yourself by your occupation becasue that's how society sees everyone regardless of their personal life...it's because when you are a teacher, that *IS* your life...It's something I want to do later in life, not right out of school...Not that being an engineer will give me so much time to write either--but at least I won't have homework to grade...just projects to noodle on, presentations to prepare, facts, figures, charts, oh my!
