my spam goes to 100!:

i am not looking forward to being a student again. so much so that the simple process of becoming a student again in-and-of itself is daunting as hell. and it doesn't help that i'm a big fan of liberal arts education - but now that i've been in the real world and i'm footing my own bill, wsu with their cheap costs per credit hour is looking pretty damn tempting.

fuck.

in other news, i've been home almost three months and still have no job. when i moved back, i told myself that if i didn't have employment within three months, i would expand my search to the entirety of the US...that's not happening. i decided to return to graduate school for something practical, and if i keep jumping around that's just not going to happen. too bad i can't get paid to effectively be half of a youth leader and two different churches. then i could make money doing what i've been doing for the past two months anyway instead of just wasting it.

random happy things: everyone who is important seems to think that the decemberists' the hazards of love should be included in top 10 lists of 2009's best music (so far). this year is almost over and i've gotta say, i've fallen in love with this album no less than three times so far. i'm certain i can fit another one in. basically new music in general. several albums i've downloaded in the past several days make me so happy i wish that i could imbue the code used to maintain this blog with the sheer joy that i get from listening to these bands. listening to "world cafe" every night on kmuw [wichita's particular brand of npr]. discovering paste magazine's podcasts. okay. all of my random happy stuff has to do with music.

things to do: make and felt a yoda hat. figure out the rest of the costume. sheesh. stop spending money! find a job! fill out graduate school applications! pray more! care more! love more! yeah. that list is totally do-able.



note to self: stop watching scary television about paranormal bullshiz. i don't care if it's true - i'm telling myself it's bull. also, continue proofreading posts that you make this late in the evening.
