$600/month with free cable & utilities is a really good deal

I think so too, especially for a private room and if they aren't terribly far from transit. I'm always amazed there are parts of the country where that's a house.

Susan, Annabel is adorable.

Thanks, Sean (and how are you doing these days?).

Oh, Susan, she's a quarter-to-a-child already! And what an adorable child, too - with those bright eyes and that vivid face and that smile! And she looks a lot like you, at least in this picture and when compared to some pictures of you that I've seen in the past.

What Nilly said. And those eyes, especially in the bonnet picture - what a beautiful color.

I love Craigslist. Since I'm sending resumes and applications hither and thither, it's been a great place to find out what rental costs are in some of the possible areas.

Plus, any site that gives you the option of sending your ad to outer space gets points from me.

And now more ambulatory.

She's actually walking for real now. My hand holding her in that picture is not for support so much as to keep her from attacking the Easter lilies or sound system cords just offscreen.

Thanks, y'all. I think she's as cute as any kid could be, but it's nice to hear praise from less biased sources.

Thanks, Sean (and how are you doing these days?).

I'm doing.... Okay. Some things (girlfriend) are going great. Other things (employment woes again, rapidly mounting debt) are going not so great. Luckily, the great things are helping me deal with the not so great things.

I'm still working on the play with Julia Sweeney, which rocks. I'm also helping a friend produce a short film, which also rocks, and is so much fun. I'm never quite as happy working as when I'm on a stage or a set. It's all actually a bunch of really technical stuff, with machines and equipment, but I still feel like I'm working magic whenever I do it.

And I still think Shrift should tell Jehova that her name is Shiva.

He didn't give me a chance this morning. He just shuffled past, dug in the ashtray for butts, and then hocked a loogie. I stood off to the side behind a pillar, my eyes rolling back and my eyelids fluttering in the universal sign for OMG That's Like So Gross. Unfortunately, according to TV medical dramas, it also seems to be the universal sign for OMG I'm Having A Seizure Call 911.

Susan, she's gorgeous!!

Not quite a house but 1050 sq.feet of condo. But like I said, in Phoenix, where Everyone Who is Nobody is.

Phoenix, where Everyone Who is Nobody is.

Which (I think) means they should be treating you like a rock star.

But that could be just me.
