Stuff'N'Things

I really like the new Macbook. The keyboard is really sweet.

I'm better. In Green Bay right now, watching stupid shit on TV and waiting for Josh and Jake to come home from the bachelor party they are at. I'm tired and if they aren't home by midnight (it's 11:40 right now), I will just go to bed. We're only here for the night.

Work is still boring, but I may have made some excellent connections through SAI. The VP-membership is the Artistic Manager for the MSO (and she's like 30ish), and so when I was introducing myself in an email, I just said that she worked where I would love to work, because that's the kind of thing that I would say. She said that she got emails all the time of openings in the area, and so I told her that if she sees anything in finance or developement, that I would totally be interested.

I got my scores back from the GMAT people. Scored a 580 out of 800 (which is really pretty good) on the verbal/quantitative sections and a 6 out of 6 on the written portion. So, I hope that's enough for me to get into school there. When they get my scores, my application is complete, so hopefully they can make a quick decision. Cross your fingers.

Back to SAI...anyway, so I'm hoping that that is a good connection there, as well as some of the connections that I have made for playing opportunities. Anything would be excellent right now. Seems like there is no shortage of french horns around these parts.

I felt better that night at home, after I posted. We talked. We always do. I really have been trying not to bottle everything up anymore. I remember where that got me. Well, it didn't end up badly, but it definitely wasn't a happy place. I still have a couple of things from that time period that I'm not too happy with myself about, but they can't be changed now. They are what they are.

We watched 48 Hours on CBS tonight, where they had a story about this girl who went on a cruise ship with her recovering boyfriend and a bunch of friends and ended up dying of a methadone overdose and nobody will say what really happened, even though I thought it was obvious that the girl forgot that her dumbass boyfriend put his methadone in a Nyquill bottle and smuggled it on board and took some of it to sleep. But, there are unanswered questions and such, so...

The more important thing was that this whole thing took place 24 hours before the bus accident. I don't know if it was the full moon and all the planets were aligned that weekend or what, but it seems to me that a LOT of crazy ass fucked up shit went down that weekend, for everyone on the earth. Lots of people making fucking stupid decisions and other people paying the price. It was very strange. Just to hear that it had been a year -- where's the national story on the bus accident? Where's the story about the APPALLING fact that this asshole dumps his truck over, kills a bunch of people and then says that he's innocent of the crimes, because of some other BS. Any person who was human would have settled a long time ago and confessed. I understand that the day in court wouldn't have happened then, but to say that he didn't really do anything (which is what innocent means to me), is just, inhuman. I consider him a monster with no soul and I get a creepy feeling looking at him.

Well, anyway. I don't know why I said all that. He should be on "To Catch A Predator" on Dateline.

Okay, prolly time for bed. It's almost midnight and they aren't back.

Good night!
