I went out on a mission today, but I had to sprint home back to my laptop to fix some issues with the study abroad office at school. There is a huge disconnect between their office and their site. Whatever.
Anyhow, prior to, and after, I've been agoraphobic today. Which is just crushing when my work relies on the outside. I can sit and accumulate data from social media, then I must somehow return it back to the analog. And some days, it just doesn't happen.
I did meet some really good people at Bubbleheads, right across from where I live. I played them a quote from Bill Cosby and gave them the tape, and briefly explained the project.
"Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it."
It turns out they're planning to do some kind of "live blog" event, like an open mic. Which I guess really, an open mic is an analog blog of sorts. I'm pulling other people's quotes, from other people's updates, and disseminating them, in analog. Anyhow, I hope to visit them again, have a bubble tea and hooka session, and maybe talk about what we're both doing.
Tomorrow will be a more productive day. But I suppose you need those days to break down and freak out about life. Helps you put into perspective the whole. And then to meet some really amazing people working on something congruous.
I might be moving this blog soon. Links to follow. Suggestions welcome.
Mat.
