Living the Dream

[aggienaut]

   Haven't posted much because I've been working overtime for Obi-Wan this last week because our project has a deadline and I can't say no to $21.75 an hour.
   But yeah so for the last two weeks I've been working for the intellectual property firm Knobbe Marten Bears and Lizards LLC ("Knobbe" being pronounced "Kenobi," as in Obi-Wan). As usual, I was original bought on the office slave market for a week, got extended for a week, and then extended again (current end time is supposed to be next Wednesday). I can't tell you anything about what I'm working on except that I redact things (AKA delete, censor, obfuscate, etc) all day. And yes, the below is a picture of my palatial home away from home, cubicle 13-B-24. My name is "Temp 72" in some records, shortened to T-72.

   Otherwise life hasn't been completely dull. Last Saturday I went down to the Stone Brewery with Cambodia from my committee in New Orleans two weeks ago. On Monday I went out for drinks with my friend from HS Michelle (here she is in New Orleans two weeks ago (on the right)). On Wednesday evening the UCI MUN kids invited me to go to a Eurotrash party in Irvine, so I made an appearance there.

   In other news, what a week eh? Musharraf's party totally lost their election and he might get impeached now (but the good ole US of A is urging the opposition parties not to because we loove Mushie-Moosh. I'm hoping at least Chief Justice Chaundhry and the other Justices removed by Musharraf get reinstated); Castro retired from the presidency of Cuba; and Kosovo gave Serbia the finger.
   Also Obamarama is walloping Clinton in state after state, and Clinton is apparently continually trying out different vicious negative attacks to find one that sticks. I overhead someone the other day say they support Hillary because "my wife and I have always been Bill-Hillary supporters" -- which supports my sentiment of "Show me a Hillary supporter and I'll show you someone who mistakenly thinks they're voting for Bill again and is oblivious to the fact that there are major major differences."


Quote of the Day
Girl in front of me in French class turns around:
   "I'm getting Married!!"
   "How old are you?" -Me
   "17 ... but we've already been dating three years, which is longer than my parents were married so I figure we're good!" -Her
   "What do your relatives think?" -Someone else
   "Well, I'm not the niece that got pregnant BEFORE getting married, so I figure I'm good" -Her.
   "I think I agree with Kris' facial expression" - Someone else
