vw--I did that...with bills I was paying for the WORK. Mortifying.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ok...you win, Robin.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
Holy catching up Batman! Stoopid nine hour days on my feet, cleaning up other people's garbage. Though this has been a little cheerier than catching up in Natter...
In my lima bean love, I am Plei. In my Paul Gross/Men With Brooms love, I am Fay. Dodgeball is hilarious, and an excellent double feature with BASEketball. Rewards and a double round of ~ma for Kristen and Sophia, respectively. And Aimee's girl is a cutie patootie, as per usual.
The Fay and Pete Show? ADORABLE.
I have trouble taking the word "Bangkok" seriously. Also, it always earworms me (not that that's bad, though).
I also have today off, which is excellent. I'm glad they've backed off the predicted 93 degrees today to a more moderate 88. Still not a great day to go shopping in a car with no AC. But I need to pick up a few summery clothes, as the weight loss is not so much with the progressing apace. looks sadly at last year's new-smaller-size summer clothes that now don't fit

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sophia, have you seen a doctor?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
William Shatner hosted it, so it was sort of a cheesy poking fun tribute to his infamous inflated ego. Which apparently he has gotten over as he's matured, to the point where he can go along with the gag goodnaturedly.
Aimee, did I say? Those pictures of Em show off just how etheral her beauty is. Gorgeous! Like her mum.
Limas, Plei, check. Paul Gross, Brooms, Fay, check. Sophia, doctor...?

All right, so folks, I need help. I've been pondering this for months now, and I still can't figure out how I'm going to decide between L.A., San Francisco, and Portland. How does one make these decisions? Help!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
1) What attracts you to those cities? What do you think you would like/not like about them?
2) What do you know about the job market in all three places? Do you have connections that can help you find jobd in any of the cities?
3) Where do you have the most people you know/like/can help you get started there?
4) San Francisco. Duh.

Toss-up between LA and SF. But my bestest friend from college lives in Portland, so she counts extra.

LA's badly enough in need that they're offering hiring bonuses. SF I'm not sure about, but Oakland seems to have a pretty high demand. Portland's not listing their openings until June, so I'll take a look later this week.
San Francisco. Duh.
This is what my brother said, but he followed it up with "although it's really expensive and hard to park here," so it was sort of a mixed recommendation.
I did something weird when trying to select text, and now it won't let me. So about the first question: uh... Um. Lack of New England winters. General west-coasty-ness. I'm worried LA will be too hot for me, and also LARGE. I worry that both SF and LA are too big-city for me (this despite living on the outskirts of Boston for ten years -- don't expect me to be logical). But maybe I should try a big city, and this time a proper one, where everything doesn't close at 11 PM (this, of course, after I've entered a profession which requires going to bed at 9 PM). Then, of course, there's the problem that all my knowledge about the LA school system comes from movies which uniformly depict it as Gangland Hell with Pimples. Which seems unlikely to be an entirely accurate depiction, but there you have it.
