Coated in white, dripping as I walked up the counter, the windows obscured by flurries. Seriously, you should have seen the sales clerk&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p><center>-::-<\/center><br \/>\nShane called just after midnight the other night, thrilled with his pictures, asking if I could shoot his band soon, too. Of course, I said, I would love to, so we set it up that we&#8217;ll see each other next month, when they&#8217;re in town rehearsing for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecultch.com\/content\/view\/285\/418\/\">When I Was A Kid<\/a>, his upcoming show at the Cultch. If all goes well, however, I&#8217;ll miss it completely, as I&#8217;ll be out of the country as he stands on stage, somewhere I have never been before with someone I&#8217;ve never met yet utterly adore. (My favourite kind of exciting!) <\/p>\n<p><center>-::-<\/center><br \/>\nI have a job interview coming up on Friday, a follow-up to a promising phone call I had last week. I really hope I get this one, far more than usual, as it seems like a perfect combination: a company of good people doing good things, ethical, open-source, media-savvy, and clever, within an easy bike-ride from home. I&#8217;ve been keeping busy lately, taking pictures, writing, catching up on MIT&#8217;s open course-ware, learning new things, but underneath the triumphant glaze of productivity, there&#8217;s been an unwavering desire to jump back into the workforce, take part in more than my own little projects. This job, if I get it, could be the key to an entirely new level of personal satisfaction, so fingers crossed that I am what they need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another of Shane Koyczan.
