Well, those were the first 7 episodes of Stickman. I'm taking a bit of time off to generate some more, and then I should be posting them some time next week. It also takes a bit of time for me to do this because I do not own a scanner, so I have to use the one on campus.

The job hunting is still going, and I've been interviewed more times than anyone should ever have to be interviewed without actually getting a job. From temp agencies to government jobs to regular jobs, I just can't seem to get a lucky break. I ran out of money last week, so things are getting kind of tough. I rationed the food I had into halves, and while I love the fact that I've been losing a lot of weight very fast over the last few weeks, I'm pretty sure this wasn't the way one is supposed to go about doing it. I have over a month and a half to make it, and to be honest, I'm not sure I will.

I wish I had better news to report, but this summer has really sucked. And it's getting kind of worse. I've pretty much run out of options, so it's now an exercise in watching the rest of the world crumble around me.

I'm beyond complaining and feeling sorry for myself. Now, I'm starting to find bizarre humor in the stupidest things. Like health insurance, for instance. School cut my last five paychecks in half to pay for my Kaiser health coverage through the summer, which took away the money I had actually planned to use to survive this summer. Irony is such a fun little animal. My shoulder has been in massive pain all summer long, but I can't afford the $20 co-pay with my insurance in order to get an MRI and then yet another payment probably to get some surgery. So, losing half my income managed to allow me access to my insurance, but losing half my income means I can't afford to access my insurance. It's like paying auto insurance for a car that sits in a garage to which you don't have the key.

Anyway, it's survival of the fittest in this country. I wasn't the fittest.
