Reasons why this weekend was the Best Weekend ( Read more... )

In the last two days, I've edited press releases for Aon (Manchester United's shirt sponsor), Universal Studios, and a company that does tech R&D based on psychic remote viewing. The remote viewing people had pictures of the secret alien Mayan sea lab they discovered in the Baltic sea. I had to call my boss over so I could ask her, look, I know ( Read more... )

Hahaha so much for my quiet lazy Sunday. This was really an exhausting week - aside from the new job, I had some catastrophic computer problems that finally necessitated wiping my hard drive on Thursday night, fun times - and I had really, earnestly intended to do nothing all weekend but watch silly k-dramas and play video games. But nooooo, ( Read more... )

I'm going to come out and say it: it is a bad sign when you start fangirl-style flailing over produce in the middle of the co-op. Which I know, because I totally did that this afternoon.

All in all, it was an awesome, lovely day with the awesome, lovely hanjuuluver. We made plans before I left California to go to the Folk Festival this weekend, so she ( Read more... )

What I should be doing right now: mopping my kitchen floor, which is disgusting. Putting away the dishes. Doing laundry, since I am almost entirely out of trousers. Reading The Book of Margery Kempe. Working on the discussion questions assignment I have due on Wednesday, or the short story I also have due on Wednesday. Dealing with the booksprawl, ( Read more... )

In the process of making dinner tonight, I burned my arm, set off the smoke detector in Apartment Roomie's bedroom, and set one of my pot holders on fire. Not my most elegant of moments. But oh wow, the ribs with black bean sauce and the garlic-braised baby bok choy was totally worth it. SO GOOD. I've been a bit hit or miss in the kitchen this week ( Read more... )

Things Wot I Have Done Today:

• sat through the MOST AWKWARD discussion section ever for poetry. I felt so bad for my TA - he was trying really hard, and we were just not clicking. Hopefully next week will go a little better. I shall certainly make an effort to be more articulate the next time around.
• gone to the library and gotten some books to add ( Read more... )

Good, good weekend. Yesterday my dad and I went to the State Fair. We didn't do a lot of the fair-type stuff - no parades, no rides, no games, nothing like that. But we did check out the big Expo building, and the Arts and Crafts, Fine Arts, and Hispanic Arts exhibits, which were all awesome, and the Native American and Hispanic Plazas, which had ( Read more... )

Things That I Have Done Over Labor Day Weekend:

• worked, which was fairly hellish, since it was 7.30 to 4. Also it was very strange sitting in someone else's cubicle. 
• finished several pieces of paperwork I needed, including my letter of resignation for work (handing in tomorrow!) and my absentee ballot form so I can vote for Obama and Udall in ( Read more... )
