Stuck inside of Frisco with the LA blues again, part II

Today was my first day of school at SFSU, which consisted of going to one class and being told that there would be a 10-page research paper due in the next few months and that the topic should be turned in by Feb. 7th. And then there was roll call. Class was only about half an hour long, which was nice. Tomorrow it'll be two classes, fun classes by the sound of it.

I also had my first San Fran job interview today. And of course, I was a bit late. I think the interview went fairly well though. Can I see myself working at a stationery store? For $11 an hour? You bet.

Been listening to the Arcade Fire's The Suburbs today and I enjoy it so far. I'll write a review once I've digested it all a few times. I like to listen to an album a few times before I make a real assessment. Sure, an album can sound amazing the first time, but can it hold up after an infinite amount of listens? And then there's the opposite. An album can sound unappealing at first, but it can definitely grow on you. THOSE are the ones I find myself adoring the most, the ones you don't quite get or can't digest completely the first or even second time. Sometimes I feel like the ones that take some getting used to are the best albums. Of course that's not true 100% of the time. Exceptions that come to mind would be something like David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust or the Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy. It's not that I automatically put an artist down if an album sounds too good to be true at first, it's just that it can sometimes be ear candy that perhaps doesn't have deeper meaning. I don't know, anyone agree or disagree with me on that?

And now I've gone on another tangent. Let's get back on track...

Last night I made some pasta, and I have to admit, it wasn't my best effort. I guess I was just feeling tired and sorta lazy. I've been cooking every day for the most part. I can't wait until I make more money and I don't have to be thrifty with the amount of food I eat. I don't feel like losing more weight and I'd like to be able to buy more groceries.
