Same place as usual, but because zazie11 and irrealia decided it would be cool to use Monday to take pics of your city and then post them, my copycat mode kicked in and here I am posting some of mine.  I didn't actually take any of these today (since I learned of the idea at 10:00 pm) but these are some of the most recent pics I've taken and their theme is they' ( Read more... )

I got a full-time gig in Downtown Los Angeles about two months ago, to go with my own web design business.  I’m only there at night so I can’t really enjoy the place much even though the minute I got here I realized I loved it and wanted to get to know it more than I ever had.  Pretty much every day I have the urge to move here.

Feh. I am in a severely bitchy mood tonight.

And they flew.

Tonight, as my computer clock reads 11:51 pm, I’m out at the aptly-named Insomnia Café (I say that so often that I almost think of it as the name of the place - The Aptly-Named Insomnia Café - but mostly it’s just another opportunity to Over Capitalize), entering receipts for last year into Quicken. Well, not actually at this MOMENT, a break has ( Read more... )

If you knee your boss in the balls, does it have to be a negative thing?

I don't want to go back to the temp job tomorrow.

I don't want to work like a grown-up - or rather, a "normal", dreary, grown-up. I want to work like the largely-autonomous, exempt-for-special-duties grown-up I've gotten used to being ( Read more... )
