The Cult of the Acid-spitting Llamas

What would be cooler than having your own personal cult? Well, of course having Darth Vader’s suit would be ostensibly magnificent, but we can’t have it all. Even though if I would have the same gargantuan sized corpse holding my beautiful brain over six feet over mother Gaia. But what do you actually need to [...]

Back in the USSR

Well, I’m not. But I’m planning to be for the rest of the week, cutting my ties there and and meeting with friends in a massive debauchery of immoral acts and a lot of talk and laughter expected. I went to my new office today for the first time, the people seemed nice, young and [...]

woot!

Well, today was the meeting and I’m happy to say it was a success and thus I have decided my next job, which I will start in two weeks or so. This option came totally out of the blue, but it quickly became the most interesting one and I’m really happy that I was found [...]

Doggystyle

There’s a dog park just outside our window, thank god it’s six floors down so the barking doesn’t bother too much. It’s quite relaxing and sometimes amusing to watch the dogs play together and a wanna-be behavioral psychologist like myself it’s rather educational as well. Just now, there were only two dogs there, but I [...]

Future Itch

Dear Readers! If you look in the top right corner, above the “about me” crap – you can see a paypal donation button, available for your use. As you’ve probably noticed, we’re planning to move to a different service and whip up a new domain with the more good stuff than ever before, but the [...]

Thesis-tastic

Hurgh, thesis writing all day and still continuing until the lady of the house returns from her daily labor. We’re going to go and check out a new apartment tomorrow, which seems really nice and it’s even really close to her our apartment in Helsinki, meaning that I won’t have to carry too much stuff [...]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Aretha was right, we should all have a little respect for each other. Today I have participated in a most interesting discussion about the so-called lower level jobs, which most definitely are not low level in any way except the way the school recruitment agents promote their schools and degrees to have people study with [...]

Firefox

Whoa, Sixty-Two percent (62%) of all Mind Itch readers uses Firefox! That’s good going. Microsoft’s IE is a good second with 20 percent. Yes, that’s a small sneak peak of what’s to come. np: Sugartime from the album “The Complete Sun Recordings 1955-1958 (Disc 3)” by Johnny Cash

Cheek to cheek

Yo. Seems like things are progressing as planned or even better. That’s something new. Though, it’s funny how people generally complain that they can’t get a job due to the fact that they don’t have experience or education or neither, wherein I’m in limbo due to the fact that I have “too much” of both.

Parade of Cheese

Well, today held a most interesting meeting. Let’s hope that will come into fruition, since it seems to be the most interesting talk so far about my future. I should have some concrete information on my decision by wednesday next week, but I have a simmering feeling in my gut that I will find out [...]
