Truly golf is a dangerous game. I got a giant blister on my right thumb today, so I decided to skip Electronics. Well, that and the fact that I haven't read the lab for this afternoon yet. So instead I'm updating my blog. At this rate, I'm going to have to skip topology also. Hmm...

I got two more or less job offers for camps today. One pays like shit and would require me to get a Canadian visa. The other starts before we're out of school. Sigh. I'm still hoping one of the "wrangler" jobs pans out. How cool would that be? Most of the places are already full though. I'm on the wait list at this place in California, though, since I answered her telephone quiz questions correctly (How do you get a horse to pick up the right lead? Where are the poll, the dock, and the pastern?).

I finished reading The Unconsoled last week. I sort of have mixed feelings about the book. It was enjoyable to read, but it almost seemed weird for its own sake. None of the weirdness was resolved in any way at the end. It was kind of like a dream where everyone you meet seems vaguely familiar. Suddenly you realise you went to school with them or you used to date them or something. That kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life. I'm not sure this string of coincidences would have be resolvable in any satsifying way (I didn't want Mr. Ryder to wake up from his dream or something), but that didn't make the ending any less unsatisfying.

Working on The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay right now. So far it's really good, if not particularly 'deep,' whatever that means.
