Come preacherman, shoot me with your poison camera.

During a photo shoot, David Byrne, ex-leader of the Talking Heads and made famous as a nerd rock star by Lisa Simpson, took some of his own photographs. Now this is art.

Can’t decide whether you want cable internet access or DSL? Get both! In my father’s girlfriend’s house where I am temporarily camping out, they now have choice — not to mention a 16×9 digital flat-screen TV with digital cable.

It’s too bad there’s never anything good on.

Oh. Is it Friday night? I didn’t even notice.

The music supervisor of a certain school district is trying to get me into the Elementary School as a vocal teacher quickly, with the intent on moving up to the High School next fall (as long as the High School principal likes me). I got a call from the current High School band director today saying there’s a rumor that they’ll also need a string teacher at the Elementary School. I could handle string classes much better than I could handle multi-lingual and special-ed chorus classes.

I have an interview with the Elementary School principal on Tuesday, and at that time, I’ll find out if this string vacancy is just a rumor or if it in fact is true. If it is true, being in that position would be much better for me, the school, and the kids.

Of course the bigger dilemma is still how much I’ll actually be able to do if I don’t have use of a car.

I’ve switched to Movable Type software for my journal thing here. I also decided not to import my old Greymatter entries. Another fresh start, I guess. But don’t forget to check out Heart Beat Of Pompeii BBS. It’s not online 24 hours a day, but it will be at some point. It’s a bit of nostalgia.

For those of you (maybe two or three) who remember the Heart Beat of Pompeii BBS (it was around ten years ago)… It looks like Fenric is at it again. You can telnet to the BBS at telnet hbop.dhs.org. Sign up as NEW to create a new account! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about… don’t worry about it.

I have to start thinking of getting a job somewhere where I won’t require a car. Things are not looking good with those tickets. Looks like I really screwed things up in a big way. I have a lawyer now, and that should hopefully help a bit.

No, I didn’t get the job that I wanted in south Jersey, and the other job is turning out to be something I wouldn’t necessarily want, and without transportation it would be nearly impossible anyway. So I’m trying to switch gears and get some kind of computer-related job in a city. I need to start building some kind of career. I need to think about the future. But how can I think about the future if I can’t get through one day without breaking down??

Looks like it happens in Law Schools, as well as high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. I just don’t understand. Why is it that I want to be in the teaching profession again?

The principal of the school called today to tell me that one candidate dropped out, and he’d like to have be come earlier tonight, at 7:30 instead of 9:00. Luckilly it wasn’t a problem, but I’m starting to get pretty nervous about this. This is an important step for me. I hope I can handle it.

As if that weren’t enough to make me nervous, this happened today. Not even the metal detectors prevented the kid from bringing the gun to school.

… Especially when you are the President of the United States of America. It’s a good thing nobod is really concentrating on the President’s actions these days. You would think that there hasn’t been anything newsworthy lately for the Associated Press to decide to release this story.
