Looking for more work!

Posted by Evan at 10:31 am

Been a little while since my last post, but there are a few items worth mentioning.

First of all, I’m in the process of finding a second job! I put in an application at the local Office Max store in the CopyMax center. They were looking for someone with desktop publishing experience, and that’s something I do have, if nothing else. I’m going in for an interview today and hopefully I’ll have the job soon. It will be wonderful.

Other than that, things are pretty much the same as usual. Kristen and I are still waiting patiently for the move and we’re trying to get some money saved up for a down payment. We’re looking to find a small house in a nice neighborhood and fix it up a little bit. It will be very exciting.

I can’t think of much else that’s going on. I switched to using Linux on my home computer. If you’ve never heard of it, you should learn more about it. How does an operating system that’s faster and better on every level than Windows, but costs nothing sound? It looks and feels almost the same, but it never crashes and you never have to worry about driver problems and other issues that usually surface on Windows machines. If you’re interested in trying linux out, I recommend the Knoppix CD. This is a CD that you put into your computer, restart your machine, and then you automatically have linux running on your computer. The cool part is that it doesn’t install anything, it runs from the disk! Let’s see Windows do that…

Well, I guess that’s it for now.

Recording with Mitchell

Posted by Evan at 10:32 am

Well, it’s another day here in Indiana… I can’t believe that it’s June and we’re having 50 and 60 degree highs during the day. What ever happened to summer?

Mitchell and I got together on Tuesday night and recorded a new song, but I’m still working on it, and we haven’t finished al of the vocals yet. The song is actually a heavy/industrial metal song that sounds similar to a Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson song (I don’t like either band, but it’s somewhat satisfying to create your own song of that style). Mitch leaves for Arizona Saturday morning, so hopefully we can get more of it done before he goes.

I’m still trying to find a weekend job that won’t be too horrible. I’d LOVE to work for the movie theater here in town, but I’m sure they’re not hiring since 1 of their 2 locations is closed for renovation. Maybe later…

I recently finished a redesign of Living-Dead.com. I was very tired of the old look, so I decided to give the whole thing a facelift. I’m VERY pleased with how it turned out. It’s much more graphical and less textual now. I’m very happy with it, I think it will make the site a much more alluring place for people.

I’m now accepting new students for guitar lessons if you (or anyone you know) is interested in signing up. The lessons are $10 for a half hour, and you can purchase as long of a time slot as you wish. Feel free to email me at evan@evanagee.com if you’re interested and live near me.

Well, I think that’s it for now. I’ll write back later.
