So, cutting to the chase if I may, I did get a new job. I am very excited for it of course. Kinda nervous to be back in a workforce after being idle for so many months. Oddly this is the same job I was trying to get in September of last year and didn’t get then. I wasn’t local to the Twin Cities so that may have been a factor for them in the hiring at the time. I am coming in as a contractor but in the recent interview they did mention that they would want to convert me to a full time employee as soon as they could. So hopefully things work out fine here. I start on the 30th.
While we are still adjusting being up in Minnesota it has been pretty fun for the most part. I loving having so many things nearby. It’s nice having family around too. I grew up 2000 miles away from all but my immediate family and have always envied people that have really tight connections with cousins and aunts and uncles. I have a ton of family here so hopefully I can reconnect with them all in a positive way.
Going back to Ames on Monday so we can keep working on the house. Not really looking forward to the work we still have to do but it’s all a part of the process I suppose.
Mercury Rev, a longtime favorite band of mine has a free album for download. All you have to do is sign up for their email list and they will send you a link: www.mercuryrev.com of course.
Been into old Star Trek episodes lately. Kinda love how formatted they are. So rigidly paced and self contained. May the sun shine on Netflix streaming thru my Xbox forever.
Also really been into trying to figure out my creative passions. My love of Alan Moore and how in reading him you discover how focused and disciplined he is in his process. How it makes me feel lazy and amature but also inspired. Still a riddle I guess.
Moore, err, more soon!
P.S. Find Might Boosh episodes on the internet. Very funny show on BBC that a good friend introduced me too.
