my life rules
first, a photo of aaron and i, partaking in one of our favorite past times.
turns out i didn't make it to the show last night, instead i hung out at the house and then went with buskirk to the oakland airport to pick up kristy his girlfriend. we hung out in the airport wheeling around in wheelchairs, then drove home. only the second time i've left the city since i got here, i go back to reno in 11 days, it's gonna be fun i hope.
today i told the lady who i'd been working with that i didn't want to work with her anymore, which is a good thing. i thought her topic was sort of interesting, but she had a very different style in terms of working, and i am glad i realized that we would not have worked well on a long term project.
the good news that came shortly after i left her house is that my new friend blaine has secured me work interpreting for the lawfirm she works for. i will be interpreting during informal interviews, the first beginning next wednesday morning at 9:30 am. this is very exciting for me, one cause the money will be good, but more importantly because i'll get to use my college degree and help out the latino community. i feel like i've given a lot of lip service to this end, and now i'll get to back it up.
so i never commented on how fun the mirah show was that we all went to in oakland last week. i got a really good feeling from the city of oakland, it reminded me of jawbreaker songs when we were walking down the street to the show, and then drinking in an alley behind the show before mirah went on. i really was happy that we got to see her play a full set this time, it was in a rad warehouse that was full of punk kids and indy kids and weirdos, she played some different songs from the last time we saw her and we got to clap and sing along to "the garden." fucking amazing.
so tomorrow we go to see cat power, then a show a night till sunday.
so megan has a livejournal, and i was making fun of her about it the other day, when she asked me why this nerdpage is any different. she says i gave her some bullshit answer, but as i recall my response was insightful, not obtuse, spot on, and made her cringe like my words were a hearty bitch slap to her face.
i've been talking to my roommate colin a lot, he is a programmer who also works at a fabric store. an expert tailor, colin is the roommate who i make the most puns with at the dinner table. as an aside i must say i feel lucky to live at this house, it would be so boring to live with just a few other people who didn't cook and eat together. so anyways, colin observed our evening activities tonight, namely cutting out stencils to paint on the sidewalk, and directed me to this website, the stencil archive. someone takes the time to photograph and list all the stencil work they see here in the streets of s.f., even cataloguing by streets or different neighborhoods. i'll be sure to link to our art when it gets noticed.
alright, out to the night streets.
