Thank you for the advice! I graduate in six months and will keep you updated on my progress, and I'll be ordering pizza in ~30 minutes so I'll update you on that as well.

Were you really just going to go out and start trying to draw for money?

Is it weird to eat grapes with mac & cheese? Cause I'm eating grapes with mac & cheese.

Not IN mac & cheese, just WITH it. Important distinction.

i want to say yes but i have had grapes in fondue and enjoyed it so i will reserve judgment. what's important is that you like it.

My emergency go to is to find a 24 hour convenience place selling lovely frozen pizzas. CVS is usually good for that.

i used up the last of my lovely frozen pizza earlier this week and also burned my arm doing so. i don't think operating an oven is the right choice for me at this juncture, nor driving.

Pretty good! They're red grapes that are just a tiny bit sour and the cheese offsets that without overpowering it. Definitely one of my better 3AM food ideas.

I think once you've decided to eat mac & cheese, all boundaries of propriety have long since vanished.

Haha no, not really, I'm graduating with a graphic design degree and I've just done a five-month internship at an illustration studio so I sort of know where to start. I'm mostly just looking for the safest option at this point because I'm a timid and unadventurous person.

Speaking of timid and unadventurous, tonight I'm having a medium-sized vegetarian supreme pizza from a local franchise. Thanks for reading.

Update: the grape juice leaked into the bottom of the bowl and made the last few bites of pasta taste weirdly sweet. That part wasn't so good. On the whole though, 6/10, would eat again if I had the munchies or was mildly drunk.

Not sure if it works the same way in Australia but if you're dead set on getting a masters in a business field the smart play is to go ahead and find a job now and finagle your way into getting them to pay for the masters.

Pretty alright. I took a CPR course today, so now I'm certified to give people tracheotomies with a pen.

I need to get recertified. My WFR expired back in 2009, and there's no place for 1000 miles that can do the recert. Best option is to get a WFA and a CPR for professionals cert somewhere.

I had the opposite experience. All the bullshit stories my dad told wound up being proved true. Including knowing one of the guys who was there when Che was killed.

In food news: Pizza Hutt has a TMNT pizza special. I am being highly amused by people who are not general Ninja(Hero) Turtle fans discovering they like the Mikey. (Pepperoni, Pineapple, Jalepeno)

Right now, I am working on writing a video game. I have discovered a logically necessary design task has never been done in games that anyone can notice. This both confuses me and makes me very happy. It's not even that difficult. The closest analogy is one of those shoot em up end bosses with the three parts you had to shoot in the right order.

Few years back the guy who does the Angry Video Game Nerd videos hosted a party where they were eating pizzas with toppings from the TMNT cartoon. It's pretty amusing.

Don't ever, ever, ever read 538 when they write about football (soccer). It's literally offensive how useless it is and how shamefully they're fishing for the clicks of American stat-autists. 538 made a name for itself predicting the most predictable election in a long time and now they're cashing in.

It's a perfectly serviceable fruit that tastes fine on its own or with other fruit and stuff. I just don't see the benefit of putting cheese and tomato sauce on a fruit.

One time I went to this gelatto shop in Gainesville, and they had a deal that if you buy a sandwich you get a "free" gelatto (it was basically a combo, but whatever), so I got the most delicious sandwich ever and a serving of gelatto on the side for like $6. The sandwich was a smoked turkey and swiss, with deli-sliced-thin slices of grilled apple on it, so let me loving tell you man, cheese absolutely goes on fruit.

That does sound really good. But deli Swiss and apple is a far cry from pizza-joint mozzarella and pineapple.
