I can tell you one thing I am haven’t done for a while \u2014\u00a0buy groceries. I just eat out every meal (cheaply) it is kind of liberating and leads to a lot of free time. I don’t have to think, “what do I have to eat…what do I want to make?” I always know the answer\u2014I have flavor-ice and spaghetti (no sauce). It also makes me fell like a local. For the next week at least.<\/p>\n

Like the past several weeks, I maintained my new weekly tradition and got completely crunked Friday night. I went out to dinner with Mark, Kate E, and the cute show folks at a Greek place (good). Then met up with Sam and friends to drink at multiple bars. The best was the last place. It was a crowded, half underground place called the Raven. We were standing there talking about cell phones or something, and this guy at a nearby table just falls over backwards flat on the floor. It was like a stuntman or a cartoon type of action. Then he just lay there flat and motionless on the floor. I was standing inches from his landing spot, staring at him, I seriously thought that something had happened to him. There was just no way in my mind that someone could be that drunk. Some other people picked him up, Kate E pointed and laughed, and Sam bought him a shot.<\/p>\n

The worst part of moving is people asking you if you are excited to move, or if you are ready to move, are you packed yet…all that shit. I am not the type of person that anticipates things, I just wait until it comes and deal with it accordingly. My departure date is Monday, June 2nd. I will be traveling by airplane and no, I am not ready.<\/p>\n

You will share a bedroom with another intern and common space (living room, kitchen, bathrooms) with the other interns in your house.<\/p>\n

Phone numbers and email addresses will be assigned after you arrive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I mentioned last week, I am done at the museum and they gave me my daily journals from when I worked there and it was really cool to look back six months ago and see what you were up to, so I tried to get back into journaling again:<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>I took a cab to work today and I don’t want to get on the train again! I swore I to myself that I wouldn’t be the clich\u00e9\/stereotype complain about public transportation, but I really am sick of the train \u2014 going underground is the worst. However, I took the bus home and drew in my sketchbook the whole way. A lady said \u201cthat\u2019s good\u201d and laughed, even though it wasn’t that good. The drawing was actually a joke, that I am not convinced she was privy to. I talked on the phone all night and doodled on the computer. I am thinking about making these doodles into my first flash project, as I have been meaning to learn flash.<\/p>\n

\nI have this fake e-mail address that I use whenever I have to sign up for anything on the web (in order to avoid spam to my real e-mail). A long time ago, when I first got the internet at home I would write e-mails to people whose names I found randomly listed on web sites. Most of the time people would write back saying “Who the hell are you? Do I know you?” I wouldn’t really address that issue and keep writing them as normal. This took a lot of time to maintain, so I quit doing it, however one of my best corresponders actually wrote me the other day! I was sure surprised…<\/p>\n

Jimmy.
\nWhatever happened to you?

I got lots of cool things in the mail this week. People love getting packages. Don’t ever let anyone say otherwise.<\/p>\n

One of my most faithful readers asked about my many web sites and if they could somehow get a web site of their own. It is true, you to can have your very own spot on the world wide web. If you are interested, just ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
