Right, been a while, and such, you know. Still no job, though I do believe I'm on track to get some job soon. I sorta don't care where. There is a iPhone tech support job that I'm going to apply for, though it starts out at 20 hours a week, and is in Gilbert. It pays 13 dollar an hour starting, and if you do well, they take you on full time.
Shit, I'm all for that, I'll ride the bus down there if I have to. Give me time for my podcasts.
Besides that, I've been reading Anna Karenina. I've gained momentum over the weeks, and am now immersed in Tolstoy's voice and style. Also, I've picked up a habit of consternation when ever I hear disparaging remarks about his writing style. He may take 400 hundred pages to get to the meat of the plot, but when you get there, you have a fixation for the characters involved.
There have been times I have wanted to fling the book 'cross the room, not because I didn't like what I read, but because what Anna, or Vronsky was thinking was so crazy, so out of touch and vain, and so well described, I could barely stand it. It was understood by myself as a clarion is heard by the ears = instantly.
Random link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangians The Vikings were key in the Russian Ethnogenesis? That's so cool, and it contradicts Hitler's crazy!
I love history.
