grrr

went to the northwest high tech job fair that everyone and their brother's web designer seems to want to go to.

it sucked. not much there that i could see. a whole bunch of companies pulled out at the last minute, and the only thing left were recruiting agencies, trainers and community colleges, along with the usual microsoft and voicestream presence.

i went to a good seminar on interviewing, though, so there was that.

i also ran into gray, who i haven't seen in months and have only had an actual conversation with... ever, really, and we swapped horror stories from the job-search field over cigarettes outside the convention center.

today's great irony? i had to call in sick to "work" this morning in order to go to this job fair.

and now my head is spinning and won't stop and i'm all tired and achey. *sigh*

must. not. get. sick.

for those of you with high-bandwidth connections

...should listen to this Live365 site.

...it is a stream of the entire "Spaceship Zero Original Soundtrack" album, which is essentially the latest album by Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. The movie was never released, but the Thickets were hell-bent on publishing the soundtrack, since it represents some very fine work on their part. I just wish I could afford to buy it on CD!

There's some great stuff on here, both Cthulhu Mythos-related and nifty weird scifi-punk-rock stuff. Go listen! Six and Bev, this means you!
