gondola, our beloved, exists thanks to our conscious thinking, believing, conjuring gondola. and unlike online pirating, there are no leechers, anyone can consume as much gondola as they please and gondola will still thrive. however, there comes a point where must one contribute. so here i am, with three (or more depending on when this is seen) gondolas. i hope this sparks joy in your sad dystopia... » Continue Reading
my rear left tyre has a steady leak. it really deflated last night... from 33psi to 25. usually it only goes down 2-3psi overnight. oh well. i went to air it up but the air pump at the gas station i stopped at didn't have a good seal, and i actually lost another 4psi. went to the clerk to get my gas receipt and let him know. asked him where another gas station with an air pump may be, pointed me ... » Continue Reading
the strike happened, only one person who properly committed to it is still employed. i, and many others, are not displeased with the firings though. a) they are hurting badly now, b) after some statements from the bosses, we realized we just didn't want to work there anyway since they were pricks. in my case they literally just beat me to the punch, as the day i was fired i had such a long and bus... » Continue Reading
today starts a new week and various things for me... we began striking at the it help central. the two big bossmen have already been brought into the teams chat we use. i wonder how long it lasts... to some degree, i hope it lasts through tuesday, perhaps even wednesday. i need that for the other things this week.... two exams, multiple assignments, must complete the code, presentation, and report... » Continue Reading
i can only imagine, back when watches were a lot more commonplace, the turning of an hour. imagine, if you will, a sea of beeps of various tones at various moments washing over a crowded room. or even, if everyone present is precise (nerds), then perhaps the room sounds out one massive beep. i will surely take a nap; my eyelids are far too heavy right now. something about physics class makes me no... » Continue Reading
an excerpt from my notebook; the initial quote is from "beyond good and evil". as written in my notebook first, then translation. --- "ελευθερία της θέλησης" είναι κατ 'ουσίαν το αίσθημα ανωτερότητας απέναντι σ' αυτόν που οφείλει να υπακούει: "εγώ είμαι ελεύθερος, 'αυτός' πρέπει αν υπακούει"- η επίγνωση αυτή βρίσκεται σε κάθε θέληση... δεν μπορούν όλοι να έχουν μια "ελευθερία της θέλησης", κάποιος... » Continue Reading
i woke up with a headache this morning. i joked i had a hangover from last night's single slowly-drunk apple cider and the two bowls of pasta i had. but also i know that yesterday as a whole did not help either. i had gotten only a couple hours of sleep for yesterday, before i had to run to work and then take an exam i bombed completely. i just wanted to sleep by that point, and i tried to nap but... » Continue Reading
i suppose i do have a lot on my plate. i didn't think so, until i thought about it... i am working, studying; i have to maintain the integrity of myself, my car, my future; i have to start planning for my master's; i have to lay the groundworks for assisting in research... make sure the bills are sorted, make sure i am socially content..... make sure the house is clean..... god, i need to mow the ... » Continue Reading
an youn ha sae yo, just got done conversing with my professor about perhaps being a research assistant.... and boy did it go well. he seemed just as excited as i was, and i couldn't ask for anything more. he said he will have his stuff set up at about the winter, which i believe is perfect. gives me enough time in my current job to make some money but also not too much that i lose interest in the ... » Continue Reading
job promotion? yes good response from former professor(s) about a letter for recommendation? yes possible position as a research assistant opening up moment by moment? oh yeah baby all i need to do is get my ass in gear and actually do my homework. i am honestly excited about the job promotion for two reasons: a, it is the first one i have gotten in my life, and i know i have almost been given a p... » Continue Reading
i finally rebelted the goddam walkman. i have had a sony wm-f701C for six or seven years now but always been too intimidated to rebelt it. i finally bought the belt the other day as i had just bought a tape of a record i also bought as a vinyl and as a cd. i have a tape deck in my living room, but also a pickup; and i use the pickup a lot more often anyway. plus, the cd was going in my car anyway.... » Continue Reading
not going my way, it seems... firstly, i had a couple skateboarding blunders on my way to and from class; in class i made a couple tiny mistakes in my code that are so obvious. next, to copy/past today's bulletin: gassed up, all i had only was my key and my wallet. went to unlock my car. would not. reseated the battery. nil. my physical key has not worked in years for whatever reason. fuck. check ... » Continue Reading
