- I apologize for barely reading any of you lately. A new job and shoulder problems aren’t conducive to plowing through LJ posts and RSS feeds. If you’ve announced something to the world via LJ that you assume I know, I don’t!
- Shoulder. Ow, still, I had to get forceful with the internal medicine guy about the fact that the pace of investigation is glacial and I hurt so damn much that I spend a fair amount of time writhing. He tightened up the appointment schedule and gave me some Vicodin, which is unpleasantly doping but does give me a couple of hours taking the edge off.
- I think I might go to Bar Camp L.A. ( http://barcamp.org/BarcampLA-3 ) tomorrow. It looks pleasantly nerdy, and a least a couple of people I know are going. I hope the nerds can deal with 12th & Long Beach in the warehouse district!
- I heard a My Chemical Romance song and liked it. Yow.
- On more definite musical ground, I enjoy this band The Early Years tremendously. ( http://www.theearlyyears.org.uk/ ). They sound a bit like the Chameleons and earlier Joy Division, or even Television. But not imitators either, I think. Let me know what you think. obnoxicant in particular!
- I am reading a history of the Algerian war. What a horrible mess.
- I enjoy my new job.
C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas Windows Genuine Advantage

Enjoying a job
Congrats. I just had a job. Note use of past tense. I was doing research for a documentary film, but actually I was calling people and faxing them interview request. Which um, isn’t really what I’m best at. So the film went “on hiatus.” Which I think means when they unhiatatize, I won’t be there, but I did get two weeks of stress, I mean pay out of it. I had whinged to a friend that the job, combined with school and old-people parents stuff, was making me a little tenser than I like–and *poof* job gone!
Relieved, actually…

1) I’m growing a second head out of my left shoulder. Seems a pleasant enough chap so far. =)
6) Indeed. Ever see “Lost Command”? Very politically tough film…especially for Hollywood.
7) Good.

Another movie
_The Battle of Algiers_, not “about” the Algerian revolution the way _Apocalypse Now_ isn’t “about” the Vietnam war.

Man, a lot of the best nerds I know live blocks from Little Radio. I think they can hang.
Hope to see you ’round BarCamp!
