Whenever I work I always have my ipod playing through the speakers with a mix of the most normal of my weird music. Most of the patrons who notice the music don't have anything nice to say about it, but everyone I work with seems to like it, so I don't care. It's always been my fantasy that someone (anyone really) recognizes the artists or songs and wants to talk to me about it.
Today, a guy came in and was so excited that I was playing Bjork. He said that his friend in Calgary helped build some of the set (or possibly instruments) for the Volta tour. I didn't have much time to talk to him, but he's at the pool a lot and he also knew Animal Collective, Baths, and Boards of Canada. I can't even explain how big of a deal this is for me. Most people that I interact with on a daily basis are exclusively country fans. I love your personal life. This is nice to hear. You should ask him to hang out or go to a show.

So the best thing ever just happened to me. I just found out that the prof at the school in Toronto I was interviewing at Monday is going to forward my name to be admitted to the program there. So if I want, I will start graduate studies in September and in 6-7 years have a masters and a PhD and be a friggen psychologist. And then I also have a sort-of offer at the school in Montreal but I'll find out for sure on that one in a couple of weeks. So I may have the option of moving to Montreal OR Toronto to do exactly what I want to do and become exactly what I want to become. You are the shit. You will get into all of the schools

First off, congratulations Nater! Either of those schools will be lucky to have you and all of your awesomeness.
I think this guy would be down for some chops and chunes sometime soon, but I have to wait until he shows up at the pool again! No one can really escape me talking about Sasquatch, so I'm sure I'll know how he feels about that soon. He also said he was going to make me a cd, which is really awesome.

"Are you fucking saying chunes?" The face you make when you did your imitation... priceless. Fig moment #56 of the weekend, they always induce widespread laughter.

"Are you fucking saying chunes?" Oooooh, let's play that game Gramma was talking about where we try to guess who made the quote. "Let's talk about the plague some more".
