Sean! Go you!

Jilli!!! I was perusing Torrid's website, and I had to check and see if you were aware of these shoes: [link]

Oooh! No, I wasn't aware of them. Curse this lack of gainful employment!

I obtained this jacket tonight, at the Torrid store at the mall (yes, it is sold out on the website, and yes, I *did* get it for $20, and yes, I WIN AT LIFE!!!): [link]

Ooooh, this is a trifecta for me and Teppy and Nutty and MG and DXM.

McSweeneys Does History's Most Lopsided Trades As ReNegotiated by Billy Beane

Heh. This one made me snorfle with laughter (it's the "nap rug" part):

Original Trade: Billy Hutchinson trades triangulated and crustless PB&J sandwich and Capri Sun Orange Burst to Georgie Stepman for one Oreo (1992).

Beane Trade: PB&J remains crustless but is no longer triangulated; Hutchinson relinquishes only the Capri Sun backwash; he receives first-round dessert picks for Wednesday and Thursday lunches, as well as compensatory pick of that day's nap rug; and the Oreo is upgraded to Double Stuf.

NAKED happy dance for Sean

*grin*

Congrats Sean!

Daniel - a written interview is an interesting concept. At least you have the opportunity to really consider your responses instead of having to be on the spot in front of a panel of folks - not that that won't be the next step...but still.

Pretty jacket, Teppy. I saw this in a catalog tonight and thought of you.

One of the places I've applied to has sent me a "Written interview" composed of 12 questions I have to answer by noon on Wednesday via email. Any advice on answers would be great. Feel free to send them to my profile addy, if you don't want to post here.

Try to slip the word "llama" in there somewherer....

Cute! I'd be afraid to use them, though, b/c I'd ruin them immediately. My kitchen towels look like I used them to birth a calf in the fires of Mt. Doom.

Yay, Sean!!!! That's awesome!

I have a couple dishtowels out just to look pretty along with the messy ones that I actually use.

So, I've been working as a PA for the last two days, helping to prep for a live presentation of a pilot for Comedy Central. The pitch is tomorrow night. The producers love me so much, they've already asked me onboard for their next show, which starts next week.

Rock ON!

t fingers crossed for pilot pickupage

WOO HOO Sean!

Good luck (I almost wrote "lick"--how Bitchly of me) on the interview, Daniel! I would advise being specific, personal, and concise. That's probably not very helpful, but if it's any consolation, it's the exact advice I've given myself about the 61 student narratives I have left to write tonight.

Speaking of...I'm freaking out a bit here. I'm increasingly getting the feeling that I won't be sleeping tonight. I have, however, graded 42 student essays (replete with comments) and 35 poetry revision quizzes this weekend, so go me! There will be more cheering in the wee hours of the morning when I finish.

So I guess you can't play literati tonight?

Sorry! The houseboy got out of his cage and escaped so it's all up to me to clean my cluttered home. Mostly my bedroom, which STILL looks like my closet exploded all over the floor. What a mess.

YAY Sean! Very happy for you.

Tep, no shoes yet? Oh, right. Holiday. Fingers crossed that they show up tomorrow.
