fudging because I'm proud

the!

I did music again! I'm so good at this. Rather, I am being good. Instead of screwing off, I'm getting the songs written. I want to do bone-simple music right now. How few instruments do I need to get the point across? A bass drum or equivalent noise. My guitar through the sansamp thingie. Kris + his bass. It's weird that there's even such thing as music. People really pay attention to something for minutes at a time! What happens when you make a song that's longer than someone's attention span? If it's rock, it becomes a "rock opera". If it's techno, that's "trance". If it's contemporary Nelly-style R&B then it is merely a larger pile of crap than can fit in your head at once. Thank you for listening.

I biked for a really long time. You would figure that doing that kind of thing a lot makes you change shape. Really, I seem to be the same shape. What's different is, I'm sore a lot more.

So I guess I'm really gonna go look for a job now, since I want to buy shit and record my music with it. I'm looking forward to interviews, of course. They'll ask me the same questions they always do.

"So, on a scale of one to five, how would you rate yourself in the following skills:
C plus plus?"

"Fifty jillion."

"Oracle?"

"negative ten."

"Are you taking this interview seriously?"

"I'm 'thinking outside the box'"

"Oh. All right then... what would you consider your greatest weakness?"

"I have a real problem with kryptonite."

My problem with the interview is, I'm either going to be talking to someone who interviews people professionally and doesn't know a whole lot about the stuff they want me to do, or it'll be a person who does what they want me to do, and they're not really sure about interviewing people. I myself have interviewed candidates for Global Crossing (seems okay to name the company now that they almost don't exist anymore), and I had very few clues about what to ask them. "so... you ever release anything publicly? How'd that go?" It's hard to tell, by talking with someone, whether they can do a good job or not. It's a little easier to tell if they'll be hard to work with. Like, if they refuse to give you straight answers.
