Work is STILL nuts. It’ll never stop being nuts.

I’m moving to my new office tomorrow.

My back hurts like whoa.

Pushy little children with their fully automatics. They like to push the weak around.

I’m about to leave and join Planet Fitness with Angel.

Belly dancing is love. We have haflas to plan for, performances to see, and workshops to attend. Time to kick up the cardio a few notches.

Tinks!

Sooo… the morons never changed my major from CIS to Education. This is bad because I am trying to get a TEACH grant. It’s not catastrophic because I caught it in time. I just have to write a note and fax it to the registration office.

One plus is that I shuld have been majoring in Secondary Education - Art/Humanities (for English teaching), but I’ve got 24 hours decide if I want to keepthat or shoot for the Math/Science option.

Anyway… I can’t wait til may. I take JAP101 on campus (and Psych online).

I’m kinda happy I’m finally focusing on teaching. It’s the career I’ve taken almost 10 years to say yes to. I think we all know how indecisive I am and always have been.

I’ve been unemployed since 12/20/08 so I’ve had more time on my hands and with the Smallest of Bears. I’m glad to have the time with him, but I also need to keep busy. So far I have:

Tried a few new recipes (my meatloaf ROCKS)
Made more soap
Registered for school
Joined a post-apocalyptic play-by-post RPG
Started making jewelry to sell

I am pretty sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. I have found jobs I like, but the ones that call me back are Marketing-Sales.  I prefer the creative side of Marketing. I think it up, you sell it. Leave me alone otherwise.

I even started an account on Art Fire. Sweeeeeeeeeet.

My little sister wants to be a model. Shame she’s black. On the other hand, she is light-skinned. What’s sad is that that matters. She has a better chance at success than a dark-skinned girl who looks just like her.

“We’re living in a very conformist time where the national ideal is a girl with blond hair, a fake tan, fake boobs and fake lips. It’s a very plastic ideal that dominates our culture. The hot bimbo archetype is what’s screwing everything up for everybody, not just women of color.”

Nick Night has a great silent video starring Naomi Campbell that I saw today…
