um, where is Linnea?

To(morrow)day, I'm gonna go to class, hopefully hang out some with a lovely lady whose birthday it is, and then scurry over to a store to buy her a birthday present.

Today I'm gonna tell anyone who will listen how awesome Peruvian food is.  If you're in Fairfax, Virginia, you should eat here.

I've been eating at the Super Pollo in Ballston for my Peruvian chicken. A few months ago their Bethesda location temporarily closed due to most of the staff being here illegally and people missed it so much that they drove from Bethesda to Ballston just to get their fix. Or so the Post would have me believe.

[lprkn]

Heh...Ballston.

[theinevitable]

go to a meeting with the PNP program (my major, it's cognitive science. the acronym stands for "Philosophy Neuroscience and Psychology") where I realized that... I am in the coolest major ever, with the coolest people ever. Or at least, a lot of them. One of my friends went to her meeting with the Religious Studies department, to find out that she is the only person in the entire school majoring in East Asian Religions.
I was also told that I am now the Vice-President of the PNP club, because I am one of 3 or 4 members who regularly shows up, and my good friend/future roommate is the president-elect. I have a huge boy-crush on the graduating president, who is rad to the max, and is going to Taiwan for a year to teach English as a second language before going to get his Phd in linguistics at UC Berkeley. Plus he is a very attractive man.

Tonight, I have my radio show, I need to study Statistics after bombing our first exam (she is a stat professor, so she showed us all kinds of information telling me how completely I failed), and I need to start my first Short Story for my fiction class, which is due thursday.

Inev, I totally apologise for any ribbing I give you about your social life, you are totally the big man on campus.

My old stats lecturer used to give full marks to anyone who could score 0 on our multi-choice midsemester since it was so unlikely to happen by accident.

[theinevitable]

I mean, not really.


...over christmas break, though, I found out that this guy I know here who is from charlotte was name-dropping me? He apparently told a guy I know that we hang out "all the time" and are "really good friends" when in fact... I have talked to the guy maybe a dozen times?

I mean, yeah, I am Huge on campus. I am admired by men and loved by the ladies. August can attest how many people were fawning at my feet while we walked around campus.

Having one's own radio show counts for a fair bit I reckon. Slowly you will win the hearts and minds of the citizens, and then they will rise up with you.

[theinevitable]

actually, no. One time I had 15 listeners, but that was a crazy fluke. Having a radio show counts for nothing at a school where when I say "I work at KWUR" people say "what's that?"
Also, our signal doesn't make it to the dorms because there's a big building blocking it. Also, no one listens to the radio anyway.

i have been trying to get a PR campaign started to remedy the "what is KWUR?" situation, though.

My friends have told me that taking girls to see the radio station is a pretty good move, but I have not previously tried this.

[lprkn]

So...my college station wants dj's, real bad. I've always kind of liked the idea of being one, but I always think that my tastes in music are either too urbane or too metal-centric to justify having one.

I think my radio show would be like, "That was a sweet Springsteen song that you've probably heard a million goddamn times. Now I'm going to play a song about about Dracula. Sweet."

Maybe next year.

um, where is Linnea?

Today I'm gonna wake up in my own bed for the first time in so long, hear that Castro resigned less than 8 hours after I left Cuba, work 12 hours with only a 15 min break trying to get shit done so I can go to a family wake/funeral/affiliated preparations only to not be able to leave for said funeral due to it vehicles that have gone unused for 3+ months being unwilling to start due to cold engines, frozen gas lines and probably other more serious mechanical problems.  I will look up how to take a shitty bus ride to a small town near the farm we're trying to get to.  Then I will work some more.  Then I will eat some disgusting fried chicken, do more work, come here and realize I have been away from my desk for less than an hour in the past 13 hours.  I. Am. Walking. Away.  See you again when the dead a good and buried.

[wombat]

Today I'm gonna read the last post and remember not to whine about my day.

Other than that the plan is that I'm going to read all the morning webcomics, go to the gym, and then come back and send a bunch of email to people and wait all day to see if they answer.  Later in the day, when no one has answered my email or returned my phone calls, I will toy with the idea of writing a story with blank spaces in which to insert quotes later, despite knowing that this is generally the opposite of the way I work.

Or, just curl up in a blanket and wait for it to snow.

99% of the time I hated doing PR, but the one fun part was that I got to completely make up quotes out of thin air and get them approved later. It's much easier that way.

[wombat]

Don't think I haven't considered it...  What stops me is that pretty often, people actually say better things than I could have made up.
