Happy Christmas Eve! I will be way too busy to update later tonight, so instead enjoy weird as hell Christmas cards from the 1800s. This includes my personal favorite:

Two full days of staff meetings and interviews for our new executive director, my two hour commute home, and hockey have all conspired to leave me in a bad mood, and all I can do is sulk on my couch and begrudgingly write tonight's entry to work myself back to normal. Except now I don't know what to write. So I'm combing through my Words.doc to see ( Read more... )

Normally, this would be an entry about the zombie velociraptor apocalypse. But tonight, the apocalypse has been canceled! Because I just got formally offered a new job I've been interviewing for, so I have to go make merry and try to figure out how I'm going to hand in my letter of resignation without any of my current coworkers trying to knife me ( Read more... )

In the fourteen or so Halloweens over the span of our friendship, Louise and I were together (and usually doing something at least somewhat irresponsible) for about ten of them. In that span, the costumes covered:

( You're going to notice a distinct theme and pattern )

I only seem to update any more when I am leaving the state to go somewhere else. Very well, I am leaving for San Francisco! Like, at four in the morning. In the ridiculous pantheon of horribleness that is my life this year, I was flying home from San Diego when I found out my uncle was dying, and it all sort of went to pot again.

Every time I start to write an lj entry about what I've been doing for the last couple months, I get distracted, so instead I'm just going to post some music to try and segue my way back into this whole writing shit again. And then I can work my way up to clearing out the roughly bazillion links I shoved into my "this is interesting" folder, and ( Read more... )

I want to sleep but I can't, so instead I'm going to be mildly proactive and trot out the Transmetropolitan comic that is always relevant at this time of year.

( Pollsters are reporting record low turnout this election day, with yet more people bemoaning the continued necessity to actually physically drag your fucking carcass to a polling station to vote. )

As I stare down at the remaining time left in my twenties, I am left to conclude I've passed the point where pulling all-nighters is at all an easy thing. I worked on a work project until six in the morning, went to sleep, got up again at nine in the morning, and have since spent the rest of the day gazing balefully all around in an unfocused sort ( Read more... )

I have written and deleted roughly seven truly, truly tasteless things, so I'm just going with--

( Hockey yelling, New York, dicks, etc. )

So, hockey. Once again, pretty much everyone in the media is predicting a New York series win over the Caps, so... I dunno. I've had two glorious days of being happy, and now it's back to nerve-wracking fear, and who knows. Like the first round, I'll wait until this one's over, and then go forward. If nothing else, though, thie entire first round ( Read more... )
