Transplant

Lots of news today for your greedy little eyes! I accepted a position at HillCast Technologies the other day as a Java Software Developer. I'm really psyched about it. All the people there are really smart and the technology is realy rad. They're doing streaming stock quotes to cell phones and PDAs. I'm also very excited to have structure back in my life again. I have a place to be 5 days out of the week. The only thing that sucks about it is the pay. They're paying me less than an intern would get. For two months I won't even make enough money to live on. It's pretty horrible, the state of the economy and such. I'm moving out of my apartment in two weeks and probably moving into a 1-room 20'x10' basement tool room thing. There is no running water there. No toilet. Rent: $50/month. Woohoo!

The economy is raping me like a large black man in prison.

I imagine that I'll bathe at friend's houses for the next couple months and cut back on my prostitute addiction. Ooh, speaking of prostitutes, I saw a really great movie the other night. It's called, "About A Boy" and stars Hugh Grant. It's almost as cute and charming as Amalie. Go see it. Bring a date.

My social life has really blossomed lately. It's a gentle-type growth, compared to the explosive growth that I experienced a month ago. Groovy that.

I'm in the worst economic shape I've ever been in in my life, yet I'm really darn happy and enthusiastic about what tomorrow holds. I've got some really great connections with some really great people in my life. Now to bring in enough money to visit my dying father up in New York. God? Please? Pretty please?

Speaking of God, I ran into this Jew at Spiderhouse the other day. He was very obviously an alcoholic and had been living on the street. He looked me in the eye and told me that I "had no fear" and recited some old testament Zackariah story to me. It was a wild experience. It made me want to read the bible just to figure out what he was talking about. He pronounced, "reticulated python" the same way Hanibal Lecter pronounces, "Clarise". He also had a funny habit of rolling his eyes into the back of his head.

On a lighter note, here is something for your entertainment: The Brick Testament.
Here's a very funny prank call mp3: budonkadonk.
