Just paid for LJ again. Y'know, I heard about getting 100 free userpics if you renewed from a different account. But really, 43 is plenty, even for a visually-focused sort like myself. I should put more of my favorite artworks in, I always smile at Matisse sitting next to a post ( Read more... )

So today is when my Extremely Long Weekend truly starts. Even if I worked studiously on my various resumes and photo/graphic art samples, sent HR the big packet of "ask me back, Hasbro! Here's all the cool things I can do!" today, I still wouldn't be allowed to start 'til two weeks from now. They have an odd temp policy . . . I feel lucky to ( Read more... )

This is our story ( Read more... )

I had a dream about Moonshadow! We were in a new appartment that was lushly furnished. Maybe we rented a fully furnished apartment in the Blue Mountains somewhere. (That's not too shabby an idea, actually.) Anyway, Moonshadow got out and I was chasing him from room to room. But instead of heading back to the kitchen like he usually does when ( Read more... )

This is the first morning that I've woken up feeling anywhere near OK. Anywhere near baseline. And I think it was because I managed to cry a little last night . . .

I was numb, and my tears were as stuck as ( Read more... )

Today has been annoyingly exhausting. So, silly me, I thought that if I wanted to move in June in a college city, I should act early and start seriously looking in late March ( Read more... )

Shall we celebrate the green corn? Or eat the lush sushi? Skate my rollers off? See how far that new bike path goes? Just Tawk, like I did with livingdeathI have a hunch this weekend, though unplanned, will be a good one ( Read more... )

Ack. What a week. I loved seeing my brother and his family, but I'm glad it's over. On Monday, I start a very demanding graphic design job. If I can hack it, it may be permenant. I'm replacing a too-slow designer, so I have to work triple-speed and impress the hell out of the President of the company, because he's trying me out as a favour to ( Read more... )

I'm surprised I haven't been pointed to any baconphilia sites so far. Maybe the war has disheartened my fellow Tricksters. Which is too bad, because we need to laugh harder than ever. Maybe because CNN is so funny, the Tricksters feel they can't compete. Too bad ( Read more... )

I can't take another full week without a mass of sweaty, writhing bodies. Pity Goldfinger isn't on tour.

I guess this will have to do. I will be there on Friday night. (It's cheap with the right clothes, and it'd be good to take advantage of the nearness to Boston of this job-that's-ending.) I will probably be in Cambridge or Porter Square or ( Read more... )
