New Media, video games, blah, blah, blah

Today was sooo painful! I videotaped a conference on campus that was being hosted by my department. Well, they didn't call it a conference, it was a retreat. And they didn't open it to the public it was just for our corporate partners and "potential" partners. It was on the convergence of media and advertising. I'll let that thought settle...
Yes, it was about new media and marketing and I was really annoyed that I had to sit there. I went back and forth about it. I would be annoyed and then I'd realise that I have to job hunt soon and I should be schmoozing these people. From there I would verge back to my Marxist theory roots and see them as the cause of all of society's problems.
That vacilating is probably what bothered me the most. I was personally conflicted.
On top of all that shit, it was taking me away from my writing. I needed to spend today writing. I probably got two hours in, tops. I would rather be out with C right now having a cocktail but I am here, sober mind you, and...well I am procrastinating. But that is because I am annoyed.
grrrrrrrrrrr.
Fuck me. I better get to work.

Oh yeah, check out the conference here.

back to the mine.


names out...

Come to the dark side, young friend, and together we can rule the Galaxy!

(And yes, this means I secretly hope there's redemption for those like myself who gave up the Slacker dream and willingly kissed the brown hole of Corporate America.)
