just because

tonight im supposed to be remembering the 42 years of my people's exodus from egypt but instead im vegging out (with leavened bread) and looking forward to american idol results. not exactly what my people envisioned for me but this is what im resorting to. the past month or so, tumultuous. job hunting is a bitch and i don't have the motivation for it. but again, somehow, i managed to get myself out of some hole that i started digging in to, and will be starting my new job in May, not exactly the 6 month backpacking trip that i had envisioned once the lay off was announced, but at least im being responsible, and actually super excited about this change. last night i went to an SF BETA event with kari, what an interesting night, and eclectic group of people. my biggest disadvantage was not being properly equipped with business cards. this, is how you network. i met more people, founders of various companies, random entrepreneurs in 4 hours than i have over the past year and a half living here. a bunch of tech savvy, green peace driven people in one room make a pretty fun night. i even met some russians working for random companies, including fotki.com. my one advantage was being with kari, the prize of the night was a donation to her company and since she was the sole representative of the evening had crowds and crowds of people drifting in our direction. tomorrow im going to finally visit the photo studio at work, why have i not done this before? after meeting the entire photo crew a few weeks back i realized i should have been volunteering my time at the studio more often, so tomorrow i get to see a real model shoot.
