My latest fantasy and other life things

My latest fantasy:

I want to work at Digipen, the computer gaming school in Seattle. That is where friend and former student, Malia G., went to school. I went to the website and they were hiring four positions in general education. I drafted my cover letter and sent an email asking questions, only to find that they already filled the positions. But they are hiring next year as well. How exciting would that be? I got all wrapped up in the fantasy about working there, imagining how I would teach my classes, etc. It got me to thinking that I -could- teach the rhetoric of cyberculture class at BRCC under the entertainment technology curriculum. So maybe I will investigate that. I don’t know how proprietary that group of folks is about their curriculum.

Other random musings:

In other news, we are going to ZoSo tonight at the Varsity. ZoSo is a wildly popular Led Zeppelin tribute band, and the closest thing in my life to going to an actual Led Zeppelin concert. I’m looking forward to that, even though it will definitely keep me up past my bedtime. I will have to take a nap sometime today to bank some sleep. Steve did promise that if Led Zeppelin ever toured again, we’d go see them.

For some reason I’m not looking to our trip to Florida this weekend. Sand. Heat. Getting dragged to Disney AGAIN. Bleh. I shouldn’t complain, though. Most people would die for a trip like that.

I’m working my way through chapters 3 and 4 of _When Species Meet_. Chapter Three was a tough sled, though not as rough and abstract as some of Haraway’s other writing. I will post more about Chapter 3 (and maybe 4) tomorrow when I write my email to Cris. Cris always sends me interesting links. She should blog more. (So should I; I’m trying, I’m trying.)

Three Gratitudes:

1. I am grateful for Facebook for putting me in touch with old friends.
2. I am grateful to all the people who added people to my city on facebook.
3. I am grateful for the people who read my blog.
