I dressed like a crazy Pharaoh for you, man!
Hey look, it's that meme where people ask you five questions. irishmizzy is my James Lipton.
1. What's your favorite meal to make in the sum-sum-summertime?
ALL OF THEM? Especially the ones that involve corn on the cob. And grilled fish. Ooh, or chickpea salad sandwiches, which are light and amazing. And ice cream sandwiches. Oh god, I'm hungry.
2. What are your feelings on the Arrested Development movie: for, against, casually indifferent, crocodile in spelling?
SHAKING AND CRYING. Whenever I try to imagine what it will be like, my brain fuzzes out, and all I can see is this.
3. You're organizing an Awesome Ladies Summit. Which 5 TV characters do you invite as keynote speakers?
Lorelai Gilmore! Pamela Beesly! CJ Cregg! Laura Roslin! Buffy Summers! Plus junior member Lindsay Weir. And security commissioner Aeryn Sun. Oh god, I love awesome ladies on tv.
4. What's the theme song for the TV show of your life?
Whenever I'm asked a question like this, I immediately forget every song I've ever known. If we base it on iTunes playcounts, it's going to be either Wolf Parade's Shine A Light or The National's Apartment Story. It's a kind of indie tv show.
5. What kind of bear is best?
False!
Comment if you'd like five questions of your own.
I just spent the week in Texxxas with cheapmetaphor, rocking a beach house on South Padre Island with a bunch of her friends. The best parts were grilling fish and shrimp and veggies on the balcony every night, and snorkeling, and getting to hang out with my lady wife before she moves back to merry old England. (Hey Z, I think they got you an awesome new prime minister! Aahh!)
Also we walked just across the border into Mexico, where, strangely, you pay 50 cents into a turnstile each way for the privilege. I'm bummed we didn't get to go there for real -- stupid "unsafe border towns". On the way back, as you walk into the States, there's a giant glowing tv screen full of ads welcoming you, like something out of a dystopic novel:
My boyfriend is in Zimbabwe. He's there doing microenterprise development research for CARE, which is only the most amazing organization of all time. I am so proud! And extremely happy for him! And super jealous! When is it my turn to save the world in awesome places?
I can't believe we've been living together for almost a year, holy crap. It's basically 100% awesome all the time. I feel stupid lucky.
This next paragraph is why I don't post much to LJ these days, because it would all just be variations on this theme, and who wants to be an internet downer?
Here's what my life is like: work, work, network, work, network. Some days I feel pretty pumped that I'm making things work, ~*~running a small business~*~, keeping my head above water in this crappy economy, and some days I feel unbelievably disheartened about having been unemployed for so long, about my chances for getting the right kind of position, the career I'm trying to make for myself. I want a job so, so badly, guys. I want to feel on track again. I'm tired of all this.
