REFUSENIK ------
1) CDC on-call computer tech - even though it's a computer job and I'd die for a FT computer job - but NOT hardware networking troubleshooting kind of stuff --- not my field dude ---
i wanna be a cowboy
i wanna be your fool
i wanna be your dog
and i wanna be a
FT computer programmer
not your on-call
troubleshooter!!!
2) contract position at the life skills place doing some kind of separate project - this would have been good if I didn't get the ol library job...
3) I was actually offered the "circulation supervisor" position (temp til april) but had to turn it down when I got the Life Skills job...this would have been a temporary hi hi hi high...
The beautiful thing about it is: this is the first time I finished up a job and actually had choices to make. I've NEVER had a choice - ya take what you can get babybob....

Well - enough of the boring old job shit that we all gotta do (well, most of us)...let's get to more exciting shit...
Went to see War Dance last night. It's a doc on Northern Uganda kids deep in the heart of the war torn country who go to Kampala for a music festival...they do great and the kids are great and the music and dancing was fantastic, BUT - it should have been so much better. Dare I say it was boring at the beginning...and it's about war, children and music! It should not be boring. It was too manipulated by the directors to feel for the kids, which was totally unnecessary. Let the audience make up it's own mind. [aside: the host started explaining about the politics in Uganda and how bad Idi Amin was - did we really need this explained to us? I mean - get out! - Idi Amin was a bad man?!?!?! I better look him up - never heard of Idi - Amin?]
Doesn't Kin Ping Meh's "Too Many People" sound like some Lighthouse song - I think "Good Day"?? That's not a bad thing, ya know...
The Mole sent me a package of some tuneage and it's quite an exciting package! [aside: thanks bruce!] New Simply Saucer (excellent!), JD King & The Coachmen (on my mp3 player and coming up mole!), Burnt Sugar (also on my mp3 player and coming up) Battleship Ethel, Shangs and a couple of movies including the primo 26 minute doc of "The Last Pogo" (now THIS is a fucking documentary!!!!) I'll post my little commentary on JD soon!
This American election is depressing. Obama and McCain are just 2 more of the same old...The old guard is certainly secure when it comes to American politics! Obama may be black, youngish and (I guess to some) charismatic...but, he seems like just another bullshit politician to me. Still - compared to McCain, all I can say is - "Let's go Obama!!!!"
Acid Mothers Gong: Nagoya 2003 is a pretty crazy exciting live document. Check out Acid Motherhood first though! That is one mother of an album. Great cover too!
I'm giving Sparks another try right now. I've sorta liked the stuff of theirs I've heard, but it's never got it's hooks into me completely. It's just started and sounding pretty good. Hum....
Since I just got me some jobs it's time to order from amazoni kanada. What to get? What to get? Maybe a couple of wrestling vids - definitely the Curt Hennig dvd set! A music dvd? Is The 8 dvd Beat Club series available?? That would be sweet!!! A box set? Hum...which one? A computer book? Nah...I've got a couple I'm still working through. * sigh * so many choices...
Sparks are sounding good...I can see why they didn't get their hooks in me. Too kitschy for a cynical son-of-a-bitch like me. I'm more in the mood for kitsch today, so it's sounding quite good.
All the best to Andrew Rodwell and Sandra Etherington on their upcoming wedding on Hallowe'en. Beautiful choice for a beautiful day. Unfortunately, The Guru and I can't make it since, you know, we're all the way across the country. We both wish the best for the soon-to-be newlyweds!!!!

I've leave this blah blah blah blog with a youtube.
