“You are more in touch with the world of tech today, so see if you can get your old computer working again -- or look for a good deal on a new one. You should be able to come out ahead.”
-My horoscope for the day

Lazy days are good. Lazy but relatively productive days are even better. I ended up having the latter yesterday. Worked on my Performance class paper due Thursday and reviewed for my History of Broadcasting exam tomorrow while working on and off for ‘Imagine Englewood if.’ (I also watched ROCKY III)

For those that don’t know, I have a job on the South Side of Chicago off of 69^th and travel down there once or twice a week depending on my schedule. I am an intern and do whatever they need me to do, most of the time it’s typing up databases, organizing events, and teaching workshops on anything from improvisational comedy to radio. It’s an alright job but it takes me an hour to get from home in Lincoln Park all the way to 69^th. It is no fun at all.

Tonight I have to work, but I’m going to try and get out early so I can see the Neo-futurists perform at my school. I know it’s a stretch to leave work just for that reason, but if being a Neo is something I really want to do in the future, or be a performer in general, it’d be nice to be able to talk with them about what it’s like; the ones that I have talked to are all really nice and down to Earth people. I look up to them, they’re so cool!

I’m applying to travel to France to teach English even though my French is terrible, go figure. The only thing is it is a lot of work to get all the materials together and then pay for the plane ticket and other fees. At least room and board is included and you only have to work 15 hours a week. It would really allow me to concentrate on my writing without anyone who speaks the language around to talk to; it’d be my own little artist’s colony. I think I will end up doing it; I just have to try and find the time to pool everything together.

Today I have a practice interview with my advisor in the Career Center. The Career Center is amazing like that.

Other than that it’s History of Broadcasting and then work (maybe the Neo’s?). We’ll see. Then homework of the stuff I didn’t finish last night. I actually went to bed around 11! My gosh!

As far as my horoscope, my old computer is back in PoHo and I don’t think I’ll be able to get that going, though it does have some CCR music I’ve been wanting to get for a while (love me some CCR). The only other thing I can think of when looking at the horoscope is an iPad, which I’ve decided completely against, it wasn’t like I was going to buy one anyway, but for sure now there’s not a chance of me getting it. Also, if I have to go out looking for a good price on a computer, something is dreadfully wrong. My laptop better not kick the bucket or I’m blaming astrology.com

If you’re wondering why I use my horoscope as a focus, it’s because I like to compare it to my everyday life. My 2010 prediction is strangely accurate so far. I love that Nostradamus effect.

And I will play along by telling you about how most of that stuff actually matches up to what I have planned this year. 2010 has been kicking 2009’s ass so far.

Eventually I plan to branch out and have this be more musings, poems, and stories rather than actual events but for now this seems to be working well enough. If you are reading this now, comment this blog. If you want, let me know what you want me to talk about, and I will. Follow me too! I always feel awkward following people I don’t necessarily know so if more people do it then it will make me feel better about doing it hahaha.
