things to do

I was reading through my entire LJ, on and off, for the whole past month. Starting at the first entry, reading it and the comments, then clicking the 'next entry' arrow.

I got to late November and stopped. Well, stopped at the next entry, which is wholly private, actually - me going around and around, worrying at a risk I did decide to take. I don't want to re-live the chaos of last month, not right now. Maybe later on when it's not as fresh.

Lots of vague unfinished hope in that two and a half years. Nowhere near as much art as there should be. A few interesting sketchbook pieces I'm tempted to pull out and take through AI. Too many vague beginnings with no follow-through. Far fewer risks taken then there should have been. Some of the few I took worked out, sort of, but nothing wildly successful. Mostly I just let circumstance carry me along.

And I really should get out more.

ethnicity

Filling out unemployment application via the web form.

This pop-up somehow amused me:
17a. Ethnic Identification
<select ... >
<option ... >-- select --</option>
<option ... >Hispanic or Latino</option>
<option ... >Not Hispanic or Latino</option>
<option ... >Choose not to answer</option>
</select>

...especially since it was followed by this one:
17b. Race
<select ... >
<option ... >-- select --</option>
<option ... >American Indian/Alaskan Native</option>
<option ... >Asian</option>

<option ... >Black/African American</option>
<option ... >Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander</option>
<option ... >White</option>
<option ... >Choose not to answer</option>
</select>

Being pure European peasant, I just picked the "Choose not to answer". I don't think picking 'not hispanic or latino' and 'white' is going to be of any help here, at all.

art

I had more important things to do, so I drew... um... myself. In my undies.
