August Update

A month of August has passed already, and not much has happened. Obviously I have been remiss in my posting. It's surprisingly difficult to keep track of what you're doing when you aren't doing much. A quick update:

Denver was great. My initial impressions were all wrong and I fell in love with the city. If I thought I had a chance of employment somewhere I would be moving there, but I will probably apply from affar and see what happens. Spent a lot of time with Fides which was definitely the highlight of the trip.

After Denver there was almost a month long drought of nothing. I was trying to get my Dad to make plans for Taiwan, because for the first time in 16 years he, my brother and I could all go together. We ended up making it there for about 10 days at the beginning of July. The insanity is recorded elsewhere.

After coming back we hit the duldrums again. Particularly in the area of food, we found ourselves wishing we were still in Taiwan. Eating is so convenient there. You step outside and there's a place to eat every five feet. A lot of that has to do with the fact that we lived in the city, so again I found myself swearing up and down that I had to move into a metropolitan area or die trying.

Last week I finally got off my ass and went to NYC with my uncle to scout out bookstores and inquire about employment. I had intended to follow up by now but again I'm slouching. I had lost my resume in a computer wipe, and am building it back, but see to only be able to write a line every 24hrs.

On a lighter note, I was going through a book of photography today when I saw a picture of a leapord labeled 'cheetah'. Unable to let this lie I obtained a second opinion, and then did a quick spot check via the internet. I'm 100% certain the label is wrong, because it's refering to an animal with rosette shaped spots in two tones.

I wonder if I can put on my resume for library work "Dedicated to finding the correct answer for everything, even when no one gives a crap."
