Redid the layout this evening. Clean and simple. I started keeping a weblog one year ago today. The only page I don’t have up at the moment is the links page. The reason would be that it’s not a carry over from the past layouts. I’m not sure if i’ll get around to making it tonite or not.

Man, I thought I had a good lead on a job until this afternoon. I was told about the job last friday afternoon, it had just been posted on their website. It was doing some webmaster work for the facutly of arts and science. I sent in a resume and cover letter to the email address listed, because it was around 5 in the afternoon and the office was closed. The posting said they would be taking in applications until the 11th. I figured that I got in early, i have the skills, how many web geeks are left here over the summer. I called back this aft and they had filled the post. Surprised me. I’ll find something eventually.

The raptors beat the sixers tonite. I couldn’t watch the game. For some reason, i never really envisioned myself saying that. I never was a huge basketball fan. I remember watching the NCAA tournament and every once in awhile an NBA game, but i never actively followed a team. It’s a side-effect of living in res this year and having rabid raptors fans on the floor.

My reason for missing the game would be a little job i’m doing on sunday nights. It’s 2-3 hours, cleaning up a building. It’s not really too hard to do, but it’ll bring in a little cash and it gives me something to do. It feels too odd not having any school work to do and not having a job. I’m at that stage where I feel the need to be doing something. I remember being younger and perfectly content doing absolutely nothing, especially on summer holidays. It may be having a much earlier start at the holidays or growing up, i’m not really sure. I deffinitely want to be doing something.

I have had the opportunity to finish off a couple books already and watch a couple movies. Reading for pleasure is one thing i tend to miss during the school year. I do some, but just enough. With the courses i’ve taken, I don’t have any novel reading to do either. Everything is fairly technical and not always easy to read. Economic theory, psychology, math, how to program java, it’s not quite the same.

The internet is now up to speed for me. In res we couldn’t stream audio, well, at least not audio at higher bit rates. Things were obviously throttled down. It’s nice to be able to listen to streaming mp3’s, sort of like radio.

Back once again. Our internet/cable was hooked up yesterday afternoon. The job hunt is as of yet rather fruitless, although i have found some leads. I’m deffinitely looking forward to doing some work, it feels to weird having nothing to do. I think i’ll try and get back into the swing of things over the summer, I havne’t really done much design work over the last year. There should be a new issue of suffocate coming out in the next day or two. I want to get something in for that. It sounds like the second period of the leafs game has started, time to go watch.

I moved into my house in kingston on sunday, we’ve been getting set up the last couple days. At the moment I have no internet and no phone, but it should all by set up by friday. I’m busy typing away and responding to a few emails on a computer in one of the campus buildings. That and spending the afternoon looking for a job.

An interesting thing to try and wrap your head around. The possibility of us living in a multidimensional world.

I went out and saw Pollock a night or two ago. I thought it really was a good movie. Ed Harris deffinitely should have won the best acting oscar, not Russel Crowe.

Back home for a couple days, getting some things together so I can move into the house in kingston. There are all those little things you tend to forget about. Then there’s that little matter of finding a job. I’m listening to the new weezer album at the moment. It doesn’t come out until may 15, it’s nice to hear it in advance. I’ll most likely go out and buy it.

When i’m off at school I miss seeing my family and the dog. I think i’m mildly allergic to the dog, my eyes itch more here. The dog is almost human. The other members of the household aren’t around, my brothers are at school, my mom is working and my dad is off golfing in north carolina.

I think i was essentially oblivious to the month of april, work, do some more work and then a bit more.

Finished up all my exams monday night, the last one was economics. It feels weird to be done. I’m in the limbo state right now that feels like I should be doing something. I don’t really have any responsibilities at the moments, no school word, no job yet. The one thing that I have to do is find a job for the summer.

Time to get back into the swing of things, do some more work on the website, redesign conform. I have to get back into the design community, i’ve been on hiatus for awhile now. To top it all off, the weather is great outside.
