And suddenly the things cohere. There is almost a palpable hiss. The people I don't know or do know or sort of know troop into my apartment and out of it, leaving five-dollar bills and ten-dollar bills and taking away blender, mirror, free weights, laundry basket. I blow the money on a balmy evening in the Pied Cow's garden with Kate and Chalcey ( Read more... )

Word!

I have to pick up some stuff at my old house, and you have a car-could we do the quick errand and then maybe a shopping-movie double whammy?

I think so too!

I applied to be the editor of the new one, and it turns out that they're restructuring the whole thing and hiring one overseeing editor and four headline writers. I asked to be considered for both. It seems to me unlikely that they'll hire a 22-year-old new grad who doesn't quite meet the standard of Super-Hip-itude to be their public manifestation (the editorial job description they sent me has a lot of media relations stuff), but I'd love to be a headline writer.

I think it's exciting.

good luck on that job!
we should try to figure out something regarding getting the apartment cleaned up properly. Unfortunately, I won't be available Friday, and you're leaving Saturday...
Also, do you know what's going to happen with your table? I'd rather not have to deal with getting it out of the apartment on top of all my other furniture that has to be moved.

I'm not leaving Saturday; I'm leaving Sunday. The 25th. How's Sunday morning?

It struck out on reedlj; I'm putting it on Craigslist.

Sunday morning should be ok. I may still be moving some of my stuff out, but (depending on Emma and her truck) I can aim to start with the common area things so that any cleaning I have left after Sunday morning would be in my room.
Bleh, moving, yuck! I should be home most of the evening after work packing. Le sigh.

Oh, Ken's video? Yup. Everything I do in it is ridiculous. But I love the footage of Eddie waving his long, long arms around.

I was thinking about you the other day and how much I missed you. I thought you were already gone! (Shows how with-it I am...) Anyhow, if you have time (and it seems like you might have quite a bit of demands on/for your time, Ms. Popular) I'd love to have a smoke break and tea session with you. Or just tea... you know.

Not gone yet!

Please, all I do is wander around my own apartment. I have a balcony for smokin' and a teapot for brewin'. You should come over. Or, of course, we could pay someone else to make the tea. When is good?

I work from noon to 5pm all week days but Friday. . . so anytime before or after that.
