bowie is headlining moby’s summer tour thing. it came to the docks last year (at least i’m pretty sure it was the docks) so hopefully it’ll come around this year… cuz it’s bowie! don’t care that i counted today and only know/like 7 of his songs (should i name them? let’s….space oddity, fame, let’s dance, china girl, modern love, ashes to ashes, under pressure, i’m afraid of americans…oh that’s 8. haha)

right, and bowie is my new swear word. so don’t be surprised 🙂

 

psychology day.

– mingled with the proffs. spent quality time with dr kallio and um…kelly beach (she’s not a dr)…talked to her about the insanely hard test on tuesday. she’s dropping 2 qs, so i’m like i don’t think that’s going to help me. and i told her that it’s my 4th developmental course, and it’s all review, but i didn’t know anything etc. she’s like i feel really bad cuz everyone’s telling me it’s so hard etc. so talked to her for a while about her baby, and class, and going to the new orleans conference. dr kallio is going too, presenting research he had his research methods class conduct. haha good way to go!

– i told myself that i wouldn’t talk to the UofR kid James (cuz he was there) cuz i didn’t want to know if i was still in the running for the sleep lab job, or if it was filled. i just would rather not know. well of course, i talked to him. blah. i’m one of the 3 “finalists” in consideration for the 2 positions. he said everyone was really impressed with my research experience and my ability to talk about it. he said the thing that was working against me is that the other 2 candidates had experience working nights and/or were very confident about their abilities to handle working nights. he asked me if i was still interested in the job, and so i lied and said yes but that i was looking at some other offers, and that my parents might be moving so if they do, that i don’t really want to stick around here. he told me to be persistent if i really want it, etc. blah. i don’t really want to know this. because i don’t want to be offered the job and then turn it down, since i don’t want it. i just would feel bad. i told dr kallio this cuz he’s like “oh so i saw you talking to james” (i had talked to dr kallio earlier about the job, since he wrote me a letter of recommendation). dr kallio told me not to feel bad about turning it down, that’s how the job market is. and he told me some of the stuff that james talked about regarding the job at the info sessions (which i didn’t go to cuz i feel like i’m dying), but i already knew most of it (like being able to take classes, getting publication credits, etc). so i dunno. blah. i mean, half of me feels good that they realized i’m capable of doing the job (well a monkey could actually do this job), etc. but i really don’t want it. dr kallio agreed that it’s not the greatest thing in the world, especially for the pay. so maybe i’ll talk to my other proffs and see what they have to say about it. blah

 

every time i hear APC’s version of “vacant” i get super excited about what the song might sound like if the Tapeworm Project would ever get done. and now with the new picture on nin.com of maynard, danny lohner, trent and that other guy…looks like some work is being done on it. let’s hope.

and on a completely different note. why the hell is billy idol playing in south dakota, but not buffalo/rochester/toronto?!?

i really need to invest in more depeche mode. maybe this weekend i’ll do some cd shopping. (or i could go buy songs of faith and devotion from half.com for 3.50 hehe)

over the years i’ve gotten into the habit of naming appliances. my car’s named Tom. danielle’s TV that we had in our room the last 3 years is named Bob. freshman year when my computer was being a bitch and needed all of its guts replaced i tried to name it. i intially named it trent (this is pre-nin fan era) but then didn’t like yelling at trent. so i unnamed it and never thought of one…. until monday when i was trying to study. i’ve named my computer Khruschev. 🙂

 

i need something to inject into my head to make it feel better. or a new brain. whichever. and i think i’ve overdosed on sweettarts, because they’re actually becoming slightly repulsive. i got chicks, ducks and bunnies from the easter bunny, and of course the green ones are apple now. so that means there is only 1 kind in the bag that i like. the red ones, which are edible in small doses (like the hearts) are really disgusting as big chicks, ducks or bunnies. and the whole bag is practically red. very disappointed.
