Okay, first off, I don’t do this very much, but I just sent an e-mail to a person on Craigslist regarding a job. The job was as a part time English/Reading/Writing tutor at the Huntington Learning Center. My job would be to help kids prepare for the SATs/ACTs and all that. Anyway, I’m asking for some good vibes my way, because the job pays well and it would be a humongous step up from telemarketing, and by god I deserve a break today, and not in that stupid McDonalds way. The job sounds perfect for me. PERFECT. I’m a good writer, I have strong skills in English and Reading and Writing, and I’m a very good and patient teacher, and I work well with kids. The only bad thing would be that it’s five miles away, but dammit, I will bike there anyway, I don’t care. It’s worth it.
I spent my entire life writing. I’m good at it, I have a strong grasp of grammar, punctuation, and structure. I could, if one really wanted me, show my continual progression as a writer, from high school to now. I proofread even when I don’t want to. Good god this job is perfect for me! Perfect I say!
Okay, well, anyway, send me good vibes because I need some good vibes right now. That can be in the form of prayers, luck, overall vibes, or, if you really want, $100 bills. You pick.
The other thing I wanted to write about was that I have spent a lot of my time in my room recording music for this 50/90 nonsense, and it has been a blast. Lately, spurred by a fellow 50/90er’s idea of writing 10 EPs by ten different (fake) bands, I created my own band, Here Lies Laika. They rock. I’ve recorded a five-song EP, self-titled, and the songs are great and I’m very proud of it. If you want to listen to it you can check my 50/90 author page, or you can wait until July 29th, when the album is going to “drop.” The band is entirely fictional, a stripped-down three-piece out of Boise, and I’m writing their exploits on another blog, if you want to check that out as well.
This all is what I do after I go to my silly job. It helps calm me.
I’m actually planning on selling this EP, though. Probably for five bucks. That’s how much I like it. I might tour as them, too. Well, just me, of course. I’ll play an acoustic set! I’m excited.
Okay, that’s it. Send good vibes! That is all.
