Um…, yeah. It’s 5am now, so really it’s still yesterday, which i never quite finished talking about. But i’m not really ready to finish talking about it, or to talk about anything else. The Cast Party was as all Cast Parties are. Theatre rocks. I’m gonna sleep now… this is sorta just a reminder of where i was mentally so tomorrow i can pick up the narrative. I’ll tell some fun bits, i promise…

However, life as a whole is not totally awful. After berating me for multiple issues my director left me to safeguard his office (so of course i blog) and there’s a team of Drexel Players hovering outside of the door planning tonight’s Cast Party. So, after the interview life should improve. Hopefully. Or not.

This is the worst day ever. Ever. For example, when turning on my computer to simply print out my resume for a job interview i found i was out of black ink. You’d think replacing the black cartridge would make a difference in this situation, but no, that would be too easy. You see, every single cartridge i installed printed in the same spotty fashion – full, empty, or inbetween. Then, all of my dress socks mysteriously disappeared, meaning i’m in my full interview attire with grey cotton socks. And, apparently i’m not supposed to be wearing so much black because it’s intimidating. Well, you know what i have to say to that? I hope i intimidate the hell out of them! Grawr! This is the only job that i really want out of the ones i submitted requests for, and of course it comes on a day that i am obviously dying! Argh…

From the last article: When Kamen wanted to erect a wind turbine on North Dumpling [his island] and the state of New York objected, he seceded from the US. Though the secession has never been officially recognized, he signed a nonaggression pact with his friend, then-President George Bush, and enlisted Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry’s as “joint chiefs of ice cream.” North Dumpling has its own flag, its own anthem, a one-ship navy, and its own currency. One bill, which Kamen carries in his wallet, is the value of pi. “You can’t make change for it,” he says with a grin. “It’s a transcendental function.”

Skipping back to the IT post i just made, i’ve just uncovered some more info surrounding Dean Kamen, the reported genius at the helm of this revolutionary project. Even this article, grounded highly in fact and history, seems like something out of a James Bond movie. I am now officially “interested” in this project, so if you find any more info on it please send me to it!
