I got pooped on!
Is pigeon poo really a blessing? Because I got shit on yesterday. According to the chick flick, Under the Tuscan Sun, not that I saw that film twice, it is a portend of good things to come...but what is the waiting period exactly on that luck? My life post-poo has been, I dunno, kinda shitty (sorry). Bird pooapocalypse happened whilst waiting for the bus to the California College of Art for a meeting to discuss the Furniture Program. The bus was very late and made me very late; I got lost at the school and misdirected to a million wrong places; finally found the right place and was informed I missed my appointment. Waited for the next open slot and then was told that IF I took 3 studio art classes at Community College that I MIGHT be eligible for a core requirements waver, but that my tuition would be a minimum $90,000 and the courses, 3-years to complete.
$90,000!!! Do you know the kind of woodshop I could build for myself with that money? In some parts of the country I could even buy myself a house attached to that woodshop. Needless to say, we are looking into other options. I do, however, want to give a shout-out to my neighbor Amy and thank her for helping me navigate this possibility. The facilities were beautiful and the students are Art School eye candy, but I don't see this working out for me. On a side note, if you followed that link to Amy - doesn't she look like Samantha Mathis's hot best friend who wore the cool 50's glasses in Pump up the Volume? Just sayin'...
As though this news were not enough to dampen my spirits, I awoke sick this morning! Gah! Damn you, pigeon! Bring me my good luck!!! Anyway, not much else to report here. I have the vaporizer on full blast, am snuggling Dr. Rudy, was able to finish Eat, Pray, Love this afternoon, and catch up on my zzz's. There were many things I would have liked to accomplish today (namely, start getting my things together for the Six Apart holiday party next week), but I think I will do the city a favor and not be a typhoid mary. If you guys see that pigeon, ask him if he has my luck, if he looks at you all shifty-like and as though he doesn't know what you're referring to, I want you to smite that little bastard!!!

Which sucks, naturally. :P
Last time I was nailed by a pigeon, it let loose a stream right in my face, hit me between the eyes and there was a lot of it. If I had a gun that day, I just might have maimed or killed 'em all because it was just one of the worst things an animal has done to me. I also was no where near a bathroom or home, so the best I could do was take a few handfuls of snow and clean my face. Grrrrrroossss.
And $90,000? That's unbelievable. <strike>4 years</strike> 6 years cost me $40k, but that was a state school. No employer wants to put faith in my degree so it feels like it was all a waste.
What did you think of the book? I saw it on CupCate's vox too - but neither of you has commented.
Holiday Party? Are the 6Aers followers of the FSM? Our biggest holiday is Holiday, lasting from early Dec to end of Jan, so the timing of the party works out right. Happy Holiday!
Did I mention that we have a largely unused wood shop at our place? It's a haul for you, but I bet you could use it if you want.
haha! well, good luck with that - you will have to make your hair a horrible blonde now to get the most current amy wino look, but it's always a possibility. you would also have to get yourself down to the size of a toothpick on atkins, which i wouldn't recommend. oh, and don't forget to knock out a few of your teeth for that authentic amy mystique!
forgot to mention, in the topic of bird poopage - when i was living in LA, I actually had a bird crap on me while in my car at a red light!!!! he actually crapped, while in flight, into my car window! what the hell is that all about??
