did i mention that they finally got new music at work?

well, finally. it's about time.

we had a pretty (in my opinion) lame in-store today. some top 40 band (had i heard of them? no.) came to play and do a signing. but one of my co-workers said that the band members were really nice. that is always good to hear (and no, i am not being sarcastic. i love hearing that band members are nice. really, i do. just because i hate their genre it doesn't mean that i hate them...) nice band members. bad (or just not my style of) music. it's all good.

tomorrow i have a day off...

in observation of world aids day, i am participating in a day without weblogs.

posted by Crazy Karen at 8:21 AM

so today is my day off.

what am i going to do? rewrite my statement of purpose because the damn computer deleted it, have my statement of purpose proofread by roseanne, call amy and kurt and ask them where the fuck my letters of rec are, finish filling in the blanks on berkeley's and ucla's applications, try to find a typist to type my berkeley application, have dinner with doug.

so do you see a pattern here? grad school shit, more grad school shit, and dinner with doug. besides my dinner plans, looks like this day off will suck. i'd rather be at borders making some money.

and not to mention that i hate my goddamn mutherfucken piece of shit computer which decided to eat my statement of purpose. no shit! i had berkeley's all finished, and it was damn good. so i go to open it, and vada bing, the file is not there. nowhere to be found. after about an hour of searching (last night), i came to the conclusion that i needed to just rewrite it. but who the fuck would have guessed that last night i had terrible writer's block. so i wrote some absolute shit. today (by 12:30pm), i need to conclude my shit essay. thank god for roseanne (people who are good writers all the time) although i am sure she'll tell me what i already knew -- that my essay sucks.

on a happier note, i am thinking of going to a certain borders and laughing in my third interviewer's face..."yeah, mutherfucker, i got a job at a better borders than your broke ass ultra suburbian one..." (yes, the crapass store put me through three interviews...the one i work for now only put me through one...)

by the way, right now i have a dude who is out on parole IMing me.

LOL!

more to come soon...
posted by Crazy Karen at 8:47 PM

i love my job.

really, i do.

but if borders doesn't change its in-store music soon, i (and all of the other employees) am going to kill the sound system.

the daily in-store soundtrack:

cat stevens- wild world
cat stevens- morning has broken
macy gray- i try
some song that goes "forevvvvveeeeer, i'll be so happy loving you" (i think that is the worst).
and a bunch or crazy world beat selections.

the sad thing is that i actually liked macy gray. no more. not when i hear i try 5 million times in one day...

i reeeaaally need to finish uploading my japan travel stories. and knowing me, and the way that i procrastinate, by april, my stuff from my study abroad won't be up there, so i'll have to finish that, add my stories of solo travel (no study this time!!!) on the san-yo and tokkaido routes (last may) and my shit about tohoku (this april).

speaking of which, i think it'll be three weeks in april. three weeks of solo travel. i would like to spend at least 1.5 weeks in tohoku. i also want to see mt. fuji (every time i have attempted, it has been hidden by clouds. blah). no climbing, though. i refuse to climb out of season.

the biggest news is that i need to speak to some of my japanese friends. with these piss cheap airfares, a weekend in korea is looking to be more and more likely.

but i still have so much more to see and do in japan.

i will entirely skip the kansai area. taka can come to tohoku with me (if he is so compelled...). and besides, aside from the fact that taka lives there, osaka is my least favorite japanese city. the dialogue sucks (wakarahen!), the people are sort of rude, and i have bad bad bad memories of the actual school there. kyoto is lovely, but i have seen it, done it, and lived it. i need to focus my attention on the japan which is undiscovered by me.

can you tell that i am quite excited?

and if a bush victory is really going to happen, i may just have to pack mah bags and move there. for good.

Gore needs to pull this off!

he neeeeds to...

i am already packing my bags for a possible move to another country.
