So today my boss--not just my immediate boss, but the boss of the whole branch--mentioned to me that there were two library aide positions open. At my home branch. Not only would that mean a two-minute commute (versus my current thirty-minute one), but it would also be up to 30 hours a week at two or three dollars more than I'm making now. And she ( Read more... )

I have discovered a cafe that rivals the Donkey, and most of the chairs are half-size. The Blue Manatee, an awesome children's bookstore in Cincinnati, opened up a cafe next door, where there are murals and comfy chairs and glass-topped I Spy tables with random objects under the glass. The drinks come in "too small," "too large," and "just right," ( Read more... )

I am bored, but I don't want to go to bed. Because if I go to bed, it will just be morning soon and I will have to work 8 to 4 in non-foods. I hate non-foods, because I never know what to do and, while I hate bugging managers to give me work, I can't stand around and do nothing as everyone else in the department has demonstrated themselves more ( Read more... )

I just spent ten minutes on IM with my mother trying to find out the proper possessive form of each other. Turns out it's singular, like we thought (each other's), but we wanted dictionary confirmation. Along the way we also found out that each other is supposed to be used when discussing two people, and one another when discussing three or more, ( Read more... )

Music meme taken from pirate_lass, chlorrel, and probably six hundred other people. ;)

Take your music list - put random on and write down the first line of the next 20 songs.. then leave it up to the people who read your LJ (if they can be bothered) to guess them. If not - just have 20 songs stuck in your head at once and implode.

This has been the rainiest fall I can remember.

I love it.

I walked uptown this afternoon--alone, on purpose. It has been brought to my attention that I do things alone even when I have the option of not being alone...which bears thinking on. But, as discussed in the same conversation, I'm generally happy. I have my books and my poetry to protect me ( Read more... )

It's 12:30 a.m. on November first, and I've already beaten last year's NaNo total! *boogies*

Not that it's much to be proud of, but 163 words > 120 words, right? XD

Still looking for a plot, though. Right now, it looks like "boy meets fairy slave boy, boy falls in love with fairy slave boy, boy wants to free fairy slave boy, fairy slave boy screws ( Read more... )

Now I have another oral defense on Wednesday. My schedule now looks like this:

8:00 Have mother call to wake me up because I don't trust myself ( Read more... )

Okay, so I got all inspired and stuff, so I made nano-related things. No, not an outline. I think I might actually have a climax for my story, but nothing resembling a plot so much. See lovely shiny amateurish icon for my current wishlist.

However, I did make eLouai dolls of my two three? main characters. Because it's fun. In fact, I'm starting a ( Read more... )

So I got up this morning, running late for French class as always. I burst out of my room, ready to sprint up the hill and hopefully turn in my homework before she marks it late, and I see a note on my hallmate's door. In pink marker, it says something to the effect of "Please remember to turn your alarm clock off, because it goes off for more than ( Read more... )
