TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Saturday, June 19, 2004
As for me I'm just kinda "jammin'" out in limbo...it's the time between the close of high school and the beginning of college and I've got nothing going on. I'm looking for summer work but that's not going well. Let me give you one experience:

Me: Can I get a job application please?
Woman: Do you have any experience with cash registers?
Me: No but I...
Woman: Well he won't call you unless you have experience.
Me: Um (rolling my eyes) is it a particularly difficult job?
woman: *Dirty look*

And then, in the words of Jason Mraz, I sleep all day. It's really rediculous. I'm going to bed at like 2am, on a good day. That's pretty much what I did during school, but I'd wake up at 6. So now that I don't have to get up, I'm waking up quite literally passed noon it's terrible. My dad wanted me to go to sleep at ten and I was like, "I've been awake 8 hours." I missed a doctor's appointment like that.

Oh have you guys seen those commercials for the King Arthur movie...It doesn't seem to be doing any justice to Mr. White's version. I know there are lots of variations in the story but making Guenivere a bad ass warrior is kind of pushing it. Think it's worth seeing?

Oh having told you what I'm not doing, I'll tell you what I am doing...my day consists of eating, sleeping, playing guitar, playing video games, and trying to keep in shape, thus powering up the nipple-trick. Not really doing anything intelligent but then again when have I ever. My brain is taking a little break...next!
