Epic Systems is flying me out to Madison, WI on Monday to interview me for a summer internship. Then on Friday I have a phone interview for a summer internship with Microsoft.
So, lower Manhattan is still somewhat fucked up, and the subways won't be running at 100% for a few months, but I have work on Monday (in Chinatown). So I bought a bike! I already rode around Williamsburg this evening, and feel an amazing sense of freedom (and the potential for getting some really good exercise). It's a used Shwinn (sp) road bike, and wasn't too expensive ($300 with a new kickstand and some upgrades).
Equestria LA is over. Boo yah 1: My panel went well. Recorded it with two of my own cameras and Everfree Radio recorded it too. When I was done, I was told by staffers that I was the most prepared, most professional person they'd seen through the entire weekend and that I was very entertaining. Most of the other panels were for industry folks.
Boo yah 2: Afterwards, I got to hang with Amy Keating Rogers and Cindy Morrow for a while. Amy is super sweet and one of those people you just want to hug.
Boo yah 3: Also got to hang with Mike the Microphone, ACRacebest, Silva Hound, and Alex S. We collectively gave advice to an audio noob.
Boo Yah 4: Got a ton of free stuff for helping out the operations team: Twilight Sparkle poster signed by Tara Strong, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Celestia posters, two HUB bags, and two t-shirts.
Boo Yah 5: I spent not a single dime apart from food!
Today, a man that wanted women to only have a right to 80% of their bodies was kept out of the White House. Three rape apologists were soundly defeated, and the US got its first Buddhist Asian-American female senator, openly gay female senator, and the first disabled senator (also female). Weed is now straight-up legal in three states, along with gay marriage in several others.
I'm proud of my fucking country. I'm happy I can still call this place home, and I'm happy that people stood up for something good.
This election doesn't solve all of our problems, not by a long shot. There're big things we need to address. But this election season has been so vitriolic and shitty and really just hope-destroying, that I will fucking TAKE THIS, OKAY?

So agreed. And my state got a new, great Senator too. /fist-bump.
