I learned something important today. When you get desperate enough to do something you get over minor idosycncrasies very quickly. Like for today I went to Kung-Fu class and my instructor asked what I did this summer. I immediately went straight to telling him how I was looking for a mechanical engineering job. Almost immediately half the senior Tai Chi practicioners were offering advice or possible referals (remeber it isn't about actually getting the interview but creating opprotunities to get contacts.) turned out one of the guys was the operations director for Transalta. Not putting my eggs in one basket though, I'm still going to be applying like mad. He did however said he might be able to look to get something for me but no gurantee. Better then that bullshiting weirdo I mentioned many post back who talked like he could do something for me but couldn't. Why is this important? Well 4 months ago I wasn't desperate enough to ask for help from people in my kung -fu class.(Which I could of done but didn't) . Now I am. I got over embarrasement, but more importantly I'm desperate enough. Well I'm still not so desperate were I'll stoop down to the level of giving the hundred dollar handshake(Shake hands with some one important while giving them a hundred dollar bill). (A tactic my co-worker keep on telling me that I should do. This however brings a whole bag of moral dishonesty and integrity issues. Plus if anyone found out they could always blackmail you with this information, and in worse case if APEGGA the governing body of engineers found out you can pretty much say good bye to your degree and any hope of being a engineer in Canada. Not that I think my co-workers has the balls to do this himself, as you find out when working with all these different people, it's all talk but no action. If I told him to do it to get a better job at a bigger machine shop he wouldn't do it himself.) But I digress, it seems I want to use every angle or opprotunity I have to get a job. Well it has been 4 months and I'm getting pretty desperate.

Whenever there's a DJ around I always hear tracks that I know I have and yet don't have the slightest clue as to what it is. Then a week later I'll be listening to some of the music I have and be like "motherfucker, it's that track again!". Right now I'm listening to Alpha Beta Gaga by AIR, and I'm thinking "DAMN, so THAT's what that song was that was playing while we were setting up at Ruckus". It has that catchy whistling-part that I couldn't stop whistling for the rest of that night. Hell, I've been whistling it for like the last 2 weeks.

This whole inability to identify tracks that I should know is really bugging me...

Pam, this one is by far the best:

Does anyone have a good site where i can download music ( and i don't have to give them my credit card number)
I understnad some of you may think you should pay for the music, and i agree, but I also buy the CD's. I just don't feel like paying for something that is probably aslready been stolen.

So any good sites???

First item of business: all shall rejoice for I have acquired a single available opening in the psychology class I need to be registered in in order to graduate.

Second item of business: face transplants are now possible. Where the fuck's travolta and cage in all of this???

Speaking of the Victory Lounge (it was implied for controller.controller), on the 29th of October, We Are Wolves are making an appearance.

So, someone give me a smack on the head right before that show so I remember.

Dillinger Escape Plan: november 13th

more Andrew Thompson goodness

It's been posted before, but that source has since been exhausted. As a result, here, once again, is DFA1979 on Conan.

Great, pressure.

Well, the 'plan' appears to be Scholar's, around 9:00. (Plus or minus usual lateness.)
