jeez. time to give my lj some love, it's been awhile.

let's see..

- i got into the northern arizona university mba program and got offered the peace corps fellowship, so i'm going down to flagstaff in july or august. the job i'll be doing for the fellowship sounds interesting - it's with the rural policy institute, doing research on stuff like predatory loaning practices and enterprise development in native american communities http://www.franke.nau.edu/RPI/

- my old hobbling minivan got stolen. when it was taken it had a vintage 70's couch in it and when it was recovered the couch was missing. they cut out half of the door and punched the ignition and i would have had to pay to have it towed out of the impound lot to a mechanic, so i just let them junk it in the end - wasn't worth the money to fix it. anyway, now i get around by bike. which, with gas prices being what they are, is not so bad.

- i stopped canvassing and got an office job and now i live in a cubicle from 7:30am-4pm. a potato named norbert lives on my desk, along with several robots made of found objects and a large green paper mache head that is kind of medusa looking which my friend caity made for me.

- i moved out of my ridiculous house with the landlord who comes over and gets drunk and yells at all hours of the night and eats my food.

- i'm gettin my serve on a little. helping teach kayaking this weekend @ canoe u on the kettle river and i signed up to volunteer with inner city outings. my friend paul is gonna put me to work on his education referendum campaign too.

- my grandma turned 80
