[Let’s have a ball and a biscuit, sugar]<\/b>
\n
The yard sale was a success. I made $16, but more importantly, I got rid of several pairs of too-small jeans that had been taunting me for years. Amanda cleaned up with more than $50. We did a lot of crap-exchanging with one another. A T-shirt for a wallet, etc. Just shuffling the former creature comforts around. We partied hard that night. I spent Sunday throwing up. <\/p>\n
Phil said the wedding was nice. He said we should get married so we could reap all the material benefits. I mean, any other time you specify what sort of obligatory gift you want, you’re a jerk. Or a kid at Christmas. But when you get married, you can go and make a list of the exact gifts you want and people will actually go get them<\/em>. Amazing. <\/p>\n Work yesterday was pretty cool. I designed 1A and it looks respectable, I think. It’s not fabulous, and I’m not sure if it pops<\/em>, but it’s nice and clean. I would like to provide you with a link but it’s not on the paper’s Web site<\/a> yet (they update late) and, for whatever reason, it didn’t show up on the Newseum<\/a> site, even though we sent it. My supervisor sent it from a Yahoo mail account, which may have been a problem, since it was a large PDF. The guys in pre-press made me a plate to keep, and I also got a large color print-out. Both can be framed. <\/p>\n I’ve been summoned to lunch Friday with the bosses<\/em> at The Summit Club. My boss Stan told me it’s a nice place and that I should wear “something besides jeans, if [I] have the option.” I’m sure he didn’t mean that to sound snarky, right? <\/p>\n Saturday we’re off to New York. I can’t believe it. We need to get a camcorder to document the road trip hijinks. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [Let’s have a ball and a biscuit, sugar] The yard sale was a success.
