My Career!

This morning I am meeting with the career office at my old college to try to get my work life in order. What I expect from this meeting:

ME: So, this economy is pretty much boned, can you find a job that I like that requires my specific skill set?

THE LADY AT THE CAREER OFFICE: I hear there is an opening for Vomit-After-Too-Much-Free-Cheese Cleaner at the Whole Foods near you?

So those are pretty low expectations.

In all seriousness, though, I don't know what this woman is going to tell me, but I can only hope it's stuff that I haven't already been doing. That would be disheartening.

THE LADY AT THE CAREER OFFICE: Yeah your best bet is just to check craigslist like a fiend and apply for anything you're qualified for, and some stuff that you're not.

ME: (Aside) Dammit.

I'll keep you posted.

Fall Time

It is fall here, first fall in three years for this guy, and it feels great. The lady just made up a delicious breakfast of French toast that is already feeling like an awesome lifelong recipe for comforting days.

Let's see if I can find an interesting picture to put up. On my blog.

Here's a good one:

Jess and I went to Maui with her parents a couple years ago, and this is me and her watching the sunset from the condo we stayed at. Awesome.

Here is another sunset, this time from a restaurant we were eating at. Maui again. Awesome again.

Hmm. Those pictures don't have anything to do with fall. Let's see.

Here we go. Sort of. On the way to my bro's rehearsal dinner in Massachusetts. We missed peak leaf season by a couple weeks, but it still felt good.

This post is not funny. Too bad. Deal with it.

Finished the game

Just finished the whole stupid game.

You can see how he leans forward to land the jump.

My ass is still asleep.

Another follow up

Oh would you look at that, I could have turned the bad music off at any point. Now I can race through this junkyard listening to The Band.

Follow up post.

dammit i hate when the "difficulty" of a bad game is based on not being able to tell the background of the game from the actual playing area so you crash your hummer into a brick wall that you thought you were driving past dammit.

I will never ride a motorcycle in real life.

Okay so I play all those awful 2D side scrolling "Motorcycle" or "Offroad" or "Truckyard" or whatever games on addicting games. Like this one. Anyway, I play them all, I am playing one right now, and I really don't know why I play them all. They are so bad, the music is so bad. I guess something about the physics (sort of) of landing tricks in a motorcycle makes sense to me, even when applied completely unnessarily to hummers and jeeps and stuff.

Lean forward to land that trick!

I was also really into this game for a long time, and in fact it is a great game. Oh shit no way Wikipedia says there's a sequel, maybe that's what I was into. Or I have to buy it. No I was definitely into the sequel never mind.

My cat has taken two naps on my lap today while I've been on the computer and both times my ass has fallen asleep because I don't want to move and wake her up.

Back to bad offroad in-browser games peace.
