As of 9 minutes ago, I have an interview tomorrow morning.

Good luck!

I payed hooky, and have been cleaning my apartment. Since 7:30 am with little break.

Wow. Go you with the cleaning greatness!

erika and Corwood-- I just started watching Deadwood Season 1! I have watched 2 episodes and I do like it, but, and I never thought I'd say this-- the swearing puts me right off. Even though I know it is there to put me off. But I will continue. I also think I have too much slash syndrome, because every time the two hardware men are talking about being "partners" I keep thinking they are lovers.

Also, last night I had a Veronics Mars dream. Kristen Bell was playing Meg (I think) and I was Veronica. We were away from Neptune doing theatre and were very busy. Logan and Duncan came to visit us, and I almost killed Logan because he was not at all understanding of how much time I had to spend at the theatre. He was irritated because the Hotel room was messy and small. And I was all like "Look, Dude, I told you not to visit because I would be really busy!" and Kristen/Meg/Veronics alter-ego was all accomodating and cleaned the hotel room. Also, Logan was shirtless, which was nice, but unfortunately, I spent all my time yelling at him

Of course, I didn't PAY hooky, I PLAYED hooky.

Does anyone ever call an automated phone system these days without being warned that "our menu options have recently changed"?

Good luck!

Thanks. Now I have to go SHOPPING this afternoon. I'll need the luck so I don't expire from the heat, let alone the interview.

Good luck and happy hydration shrift.

I'm blanking totally on the name of the Jamaican movie (but the poster has a dread, running, on it) that my father and I were going to see when he came to visit me in Montreal. He grabbed the free paper to see when it was playing, and there was an article on it, headline "Pumpum power." Which is precisely akin to "Pussy power."

We changed our plans. Still haven't seen the movie. I feel I should. If I ever remember the title.

Now, my father is the guy who, when at 10 I asked him about Tantric sex or Playboy told me to do my own reading. At 23? We didn't need to be in the same theatre at the same time watching the pussy movie.

Corwood, I'm so sorry about the whole thing with your mom and with the van. Pretty much everyone has said what I would, but I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.

He looked about 3 when he was 1 year old, and people would just see him acting his age, and you could tell they were thinking, "What's up with that?"

This seems to be happening more and more. It happens a lot with kids in my family who tend to be large and then stop growing when everyone else starts growth spurts. It also happens with some friends kids, who are just plain big (shortest woman in the family is over 6 ft.).

I read a neat article in the New York Times, about a pastor at a Baptist megachurch "disowning conservative politics." Inspiring, I thought. [link] If you can't access it, try bugmenot for nytimes.com: [link]

There's a buffista login there, pword "foamy"

Thanks, libkitty. Sorry for the pity party in general.

Sophia, glad you're sticking with it. Soon you won't even hear the foul notes anymore in all that lovely music.

Erika, what could I do but bow and say "Swedgin!"?
