At which point I will say 'no mas'

So, I figured it would a short walk up Trapelo Rd. (in Waltham/Belmont border) to get to Smith, then it will turn on Wyman, to interview for a temp position at a cellular phone company. Yeah, I should rest, considering feeling achy and feverish yesterday, but I was just sleepy and I cannot cancel now.

It was not short, it was an hour and a half, and I missed the turn on Smith, because it turned into Spring St. in Lexington.

Fortunately, a nice security guard at a random company contracting with the military drove me to Alewife and I got to work on time. Yay, military-industrial complex. :)

How about it, freaking about World War III one day and grousing about my job search the next.

Thanks to Bridget, another survey

Is it CDs/tapes you have or band you like? Oh well, I've been listening to a limited range lately, but I like a lot more than three per letter.

I've banned any more 'c' and 's' bands, which leaves out the Cocteau Twins, Coil, Current 93, Sex Gang Children, Sunshine Blind, Stiff Little Fingers and Savage Republic, among many freaking others. 'b's even more problematic, I am sure there are more bands I forgot entirely. And should I put in a band I admire more for production than every lyric they wrote (Public Enemy)? Or a band I do not like as much as I did (Sisters of Mercy)?

Anime, porn and Tori Amos, and more complaining

Inspired by http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=12801586 and the numbers 7 and 15. :)
