Well, since last I wrote, the company I was temping for (Community Health Plan of Washington) offered me a permanent position, and I accepted. I'm liking the job a little better than I was when I first started. It pays pretty well, and has amazing benefits. So now I finally have health insurance after about a year and a half without it. They ( Read more... )

"Wisdom reacheth from one end of the world to the other; mightily and sweetly doth she order all things. In that she is conversant with God, she hath magnified her nobility; yea, the Lord of all things Himself loved her. For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of His works. If riches be a possession to be desired in ( Read more... )

Can anyone suggest some good jazz music from the 1920s? I tend to listen mostly to bebop, which is a bit too late.

I'll do some looking around on my own too, but I just thought I'd ask.

Merci!

I almost feel guilty saying this, but I think that an extra-dark double-shot mocha from Dilletante's may just be better than the mochas from Trabant. Especially when they're made by the cute boy who works there. And what's even better is that I get a discount because I work at the mall! :-D

I was just listening to an audio recording of The Book of the Law, and this line particularly struck me tonight:

"All words are sacred and all prophets true" (Liber AL, I:56).

I just liked it. So I thought I'd post it. :)

There are a lot of people who could stand to keep that in mind.

Maybe it's just because I've had some nachos, but this questionnaire strikes me as almost funny. It's the bluntest damn meme I've ever seen. But as I said, I've just had some nachos ( Read more... )

For the last week or so, I've been feeling rather stuffy, which I chalked up to allergies. This morning I woke up with a headache (which isn't necessarily unusual for me, but it's a different sort of headache from the one I always have) and sort of a cloudy-headed feeling. My nose is more stuffy today than it has been. Of course, as much as I ( Read more... )
