first day at future-building internship. this is the kind of company that people in the advertising industry see on your resume and say, “hey, you interned there?” it’s the kind of place everyone in school talks about like it’s magical. and what did i do on my first day? well, there was the pizza party. then the four-player ATV off-road fury on playstation 2…

and i get the feeling that i’m a lot smarter than the full-time guy i’ll be working with/under/alongside, so i don’t know whether to be afraid that i won’t get much out of this, or glad that it’ll be so easy to make a splash at this place, seeing as how i have more than half a brain. you might even say well more than half. you might even say two halves.

my friend virginia interviewed me for “all my friends are androids”, which is a project of hers. i didn’t think my replies were funny, but her skillful editing (does it count as editing when you add things during the editing process?) made the whole affair much funnier. long live robot house.

that last part made me sound like a weirdo. i’m so weird. why do i do this, i try so hard to come off like a suave and intelligent guy and then i write that kind of stuff. kind of makes you think about the fragility of identity and perception, doesn’t it?

no it doesn’t, don’t lie just to sound smarter.

[now hearing this: my morning jacket – assorted mp3’s, which i am listening to in order to decide if i like them or not. i heard that song about the letter O a while back and don’t like that terribly much, but then i saw them open for ben kweller and thought they were pretty great, but now i’m listening to some of their other songs recorded and think that i do at least kind of like them, and want to attempt to decide if i like enough of them to buy a cd, and if so, which one. it’s pretty taxing.]
