Murphy likes me much too much

Friday, September 30th, 2005

Ariadne has officially given up the ghost.
I can’t even start my laptop up now. Feeling seriously frustrated; honestly I’d much rather lose my phone than have my computer break down on me. For one thing, mobile phones cost much less, and it doesn’t have as much important information on it as my computer [...]

Zeroed out

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

Completed paginating the first issue of Pred8tor and I must say I’m really rather pleased with it. Damn, I wish I could just do paginating for magazines my whole life. It’d pay shit but at least I’d enjoy myself.
Have been living a terribly decadent, lazy life. Sleeping till 4pm, watching movies and [...]

Internship blues

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

More companies have responded and still none of them are the ones I applied for. This is getting most distressing. Max has gotten two interviews, and Xiaobin’s gotten all, and still my companies persist in not replying at all. Blah. Blah to all of them!
I WANT MY INTERNSHIP!

Menopausal laptop

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Been AWOL for awhile. My laptop, being two years old now, has decided to take the first step in a leap towards the Big Fujitsu Store In The Sky.
*cries*
The thermal sensor of my dearest Ariadne decided to give up the ghost last night. Now when my computer starts heating up, I get the [...]

Bobbitted

Monday, September 26th, 2005

A man whose domestic troubles gained him notoriety when his former wife cut off his penis in an argument 12 years ago has been arrested and charged with battery on his current wife.
John Wayne Bobbitt, 38, filed for divorce Monday following his arrest last weekend on a domestic battery charge involving Joanna Ferrell, Bobbitt’s lawyer [...]

Theme: Exhaustion

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Stayed up all night paginating Pred8tor and consequently forgot to sleep.
Also forgot to do homework, which is why I’m sitting in hall now instead of in class, rushing three travel ads for CS331.

Sigh.

In fact, I’m almost certain I would like to do the diploma course. It depends, really, on my internship and whether I decide I’ll need the skills.
m4d 5k1||z!
LaSalle’s Visual Communication diploma/degree, which is what I wanted to do 4 years ago; and NAFA’s Visual Communication diploma/degree.
Alternatively for something much lighter I might try NAFA’s [...]

An exercise in futility

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

Sat through tonight’s Crowbar Awards ceremony mostly reading my Mercedes Lackey novel and occasionally making sarcastic comments to Meddy and Simin, poor girls who had to put up with me.
Essentially, the Crowbars are awards given out to creative work by students, including advertisements, photography, film. As we sat through the ceremony (hosted by M*ark [...]

So internship results are out - but only for a few companies - and none of them mine.
