A Job. A Test. A Disc. A Something.
I accepted a job with Turner in upstate New York this week. I'll be working 45 minutes away in Oxford (not the one in Britain) as a field engineer. I'll help out building a nursing home, which should be completed by the end of the year, just in time for my mom to move in.
The job starts April 1, but I'm taking a test April 12 so until the job starts I'll be studying for that. I'm taking the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, which eventually leads to another test that might someday make me more valuable and worth more money.
Meanwhile Gnarls Barkley is rush-releasing their next album. This makes me happy because it was supposed to come out April 8, then this morning the release date was moved to March 25, and just now it was announced that it's for sale as of tomorrow. This is the band that sings "Crazy," so you know I'm excited.
Can't think of a fourth thing yet but it'll come to me.

There And Back Again
I stopped by 30 Rockefeller Center, but I didn't see anyone from the show. Hopefully I'll get the job with Turner I interviewed for (the reason I went to NYC).

Fun Music Videos
While most music videos are stupid and immoral, there are a few that are pretty good. Take Feist's "1234" (from the iPod commercial). I really like the colors and the fact that it's a one-take shot.
Feist is also up for a few Grammy awards. One of her older ones, "Mushaboom," reminds me of my favorite flying dreams.
I'm not going to embed every video, but here are some others I think are pretty fun.
Alanis Morrissette - Everything (Not really one-take like "1234" but similar)
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy v1 and v2 (Still my favorite song)
Finger Eleven - Paralyzer (Maybe PG for the lyrics but I really like the dancers)
Feist - My Moon My Man (Another Feist one)
White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl (They have a bunch of special-effects filled red, white & black videos)

Sigma Alpha Lambda (Not a Fraternity)
Since I didn't go to a real high school and because I inadvertently messed up graduating with honors from FUS, I don't have a ton of academic accolades. I didn't have this blog when I got my Phi Kappa Phi award, but now that I've also been asked to join Sigma Alpha Lamba, I am going to give myself a pat on the back for my accomplishments.*
* I should note that I was asked to join Sigma Alpha Lambda based on my 4.0 GPA at Binghamton University, but I only took two or three classes at a time when I was there.
