Farris Bueller Fight Club theory
Over at Metafilter they are having a discussion on the Farris/Cameron dichotomy. It just really makes me want to see this movie again.

Job search, year 2
It's that time of year again. Soon (in two months) my contract with LBL will be over and I will be out on the cold, lonely streets.
Due to the recent economic downturn the job search might be even worse this year, but I remain hopeful. I'm more experienced than I was last year, have a great portfolio under my belt and am willing to take pretty much any job for a year before going abroad.
So far I've sent out five resumes and/or applications and have yet to hear back from any of them. I have another application on my desk and will be tailoring a resume and letter for that one tonight to send out tomorrow. Once I send that off I'll start looking for another. I hope the next time I have to do this it will be with different scenery.

Spring break
Since I no longer have a spring break, I am going to live vicariously through people who do. So if you are going to be on spring break in the next few weeks I would love to hear some adventures.

12 hours too late
Last night a bunch of us got together and played some Loaded Questions. One of them was "Something you never joke about". My immediate thought was "clowns".
And then, 12 hours later, I find this quote on boingboing from Lon Chaney.
"there's nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight."
Yep, that about sums it up.

bored
Frankly, it gets pretty boring here out at the lake. I?ve been watching the first season of Mad Men (apparently I?m the last one to see it) and getting my computers to use the same Time Machine drive. It took a while but I finally got my powerbook to save to a USB drive connected to my desktop.
This guys site was great help. Now I have the peace of mind that comes with having regular backups.
Hopefully when it warms up some more (it was 28 this morning and is 36 right now) getting out and about will be more enjoyable.

Today is a woot off on woot.com. So far I?ve missed the cool stuff, but if nothing else woot offs give hope to the hopeless, allow the lame to walk, the blind to see and magically turn swords into plows.
It?s also been a pretty fun day at the lake. We?re still recovering from the big ice storm and they finally cleared the path from the houses to the office, so we no longer have to walk through the mud.
The office and the houses are the only buildings with power so far. The maintenance buildings are still running on a generator.
The visitor?s center was supposed to be hooked up to a generator today (it?s underground power lines were heavily damaged by tree roots that got pulled over) but we just found out that won?t be happening. I think the generator caught fire, but I could be wrong.
