Been back for a little while now; Nashville is verdant, lush, and as gorgeous as I remember it. It's weird having all of my grade gone pretty much, but there's still enough to do around town. I'm helping out with my old highschool frisbee team, they brought 3 teams to state last weekend girls/guys/guysB so they needed some extra coaching help. Coaching is irritating. I believe it's the captain's responsibility to get the guys going, but none of the captain's will take the necessary disciplinarian stance in practices to get the guys focused and intense.
Job-wise I have an interview today with the people working on facecard (www.facecard.com) a pretty innovative start up project, that is eventually going to be tied into facebook. Fingers crossed, I'd like to be working with them over the summer; also would get me closer to designing/producing facebook applications.
It's insane how much I start reading as soon as school ends. Reread two long forgotten books this week, and now almost done with Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and I have decided the next step for me is to educate myself on the history/religion of the middle east. So next up are The Middle East (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684832801/${0})
and a book called Counterinsurgency in Modern Warfare, coupled with the actual (omg!!!11 if you're still reading) US Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual. This recent Middle East interest has been sparked by my desire to become something more than an ignorant observer of others' arguments about the region.
On the other hand this(http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1773271) thing is so sick. Watch all the way through. Soon we will be holoconferencing my friends.
