[It’s all the same to me] I got a voice mail today from Scott Sines, the creative director at the C-A. He said things are still the same; we’re playing the waiting game. He said that the process is “clumsy” and taking longer than he thinks it should. I don’t know if I should be comforted by that. I found some online unrest the other day regarding the Appeal. It turns out that some current…
[Learn it, know it, live it] I made my first textbook sale on Half.com today. Selling stuff online is a thrill. Who knew? (Obvious answer is about 50 katrillion eBay users). Phil and I had planned to sojourn to Memphis tomorrow to scout apartments, but I’m not feeling very optimistic about actually getting the job, so I think we might hang around the Boro and run errands, pay bills, etc. We can make a scouting…
[HTM hell] I’ve decided to complicate things and redesign the site. It’s needed some serious attention since its inception. Geocities doesn’t offer the fanciest of click-and-drag editors anyway, but I can’t even use what they do offer because I now work on a Mac. And apparently Yahoo and Geocities don’t care enough to offer their services to Mac users. So it’s time for me to move on and learn HTML. I already know bits and…
[…] Today three women – one of them clearly pregnant – and a little girl came into the store and were looking through the baby gowns. One of the older women brought a little girls’ gown to the counter and said that the baby wasn’t due until March, and they wouldn’t know the sex until then. She wanted to know if it would be okay to return or exchange the gown in the event that…
[DESTROY!] It felt nice to sleep in this morning, even though Gonzo kept opening and shutting the bedroom door to get my attention. He can actually do that without thumbs. He just pushes it open with his nose, and then lays down on his side and, with his little hands, pushes it almost closed. Then he opens it back up. Repeat. It makes a fairly annoying sound that I’m sure was directed at me, because…
[It was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the revolver] This office chair is creaking like it’s in pain. I’m trying to be quiet so Phil can sleep and make it to work by 6 a.m., but I’m only making it worse. I know I must drive him absolutely nuts. I’m not very inconspicuous when he’s trying to sleep; I pile unnecessary crap up on every flat surface until it teeters and crashes and knocks…
[Nature always wins] So 110,00 people are dead. That’s biblical. There were locust infestations throughout Africa back in the fall. And there’s been crazy el Nino-like weather in this country for months. Now I’m not much for believing in the mythology of organized religion and its constant doomsday outlook, but it seems that things are spinning more and more out of control. It could just be that I’m paying attention now that I’m older, and…
[All secrets sleep in winter clothes] All night I’ve smelled cookies baking, and the whole time I had no idea it was a teeny Yankee Candle (pumpkin spice) my grandmother gave me. That’s a good candle. We got home from the hospital at 2 a.m. or so. Phil tried to make it to work by 6, but called and asked for a couple of extra hours to sleep. He ended up getting the whole day…

[You don’t have to go, but you can’t stay here] Christmas was a blitz. All that buildup and suddenly it’s over. Now I have lots of new toys to play with to waste all that free time school used to occupy. I have the day off today, and had so many plans that were dashed by my inability to get out of bed before noon when I don’t have to. The thing that irks me…
