This weekend was partially consumed by Rachel Manija Brown's memoir All the Fishes Come Home to Roost. Since then I have been backspacing, typing, and backspacing again on how many of my reactions I need to overshare. You don't have to drag your child from LA, USA, to an ashram in an Indian backwater to demonstrate poor parenting skills. In the meantime: look! Treecat! Discuss?

The rest of this week is going to go fast: work evening event Wednesday, Wicked Thursday night,
jd birthday celebration Friday. Somewhere in there needs to be more job applications than I've managed so far this week. I remain distressed by my net negative cash flow, but as I said at a networking event tonight, most people who knew me pre- and post-move think getting off the East Coast was a really good idea for me. So it's time to stop hiding under a comforting blanket of Stephenson and KSR novels demonstrate adaptability and apply to more jobs.

Buying Wicked tickets was probably spendthrift, foolish and downright immoral, but it's leaving town at the end of the week and K, instigator of plans, really wanted to see the musical. K is super excited and is getting me hyped up too: I like anticipation, it seems to add some sparkle to whatever event you're going to. I guess that's value added entertainment? An occasion becomes special because you make it so. I may go all out and mess with the makeup kit for this one! Makeup users, what moisturizers do you use to counteract the powder drying out your face? And how on Earth do you get the mascara back off? That stuff burns!
