The Crying of Natter 49
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Cass, if I moved to Portland, would I ever be able to find a job? I mean, other than at the voodoo doughnut shop. Cause I have fantasies of leaving LA for cooler, rainier (not the mountain) climes.
Yes! God, we lurve the educations here. It is quite the crunchy granola area here in really good ways.
Not that Voodoo Doughnuts is bad. They have awesome shirts and I need one.
But there are learn-y jobs as well. Lots of them. Appreciated learny jobs, even.
How long can you travel? Come up and visit and see. I am enthralled with Portland. It is really amazing here. There is even climbing and such for lori. And we can trek to Joshua Tree because I also loves my mom and the scenery.
Liese, is that an invitation for everyone? For reals? ::looks pathetic::
Ayup! Everybody to my place! I've got 700 square feet and a fireplace and I'm not afraid to use them!
It's totally nuts how much musical labor is available here, for such a small town, without actual venues. But it appears that we can teach, record, and play out as much as we want to. So long as it doesn't interfere with my main gig, I say, bring it. Money to go into the house.
Natter 65: What's your price for flight?
Oh noes! The earwork is killing me! And I thought my office neighbor learning Dreamweaver was going to be the earworm of the 21st century!
I may need to find out where you live, Liese.
signed, hateses my job and wants to run screaming back to the arts
t /the mememe tag for a while, someone shut me up
Oh noes! The earwork is killing me!
Tee hee! I'm just glad I got the right song. I had to google to be sure, after the fact.
I am noncommital on Curious George (except that man, has every single toddler boy I've ever known who contained even an ounce of mischief adored him), but I have sort of a literary couple-y crush on the Reys. H.A. was self-taught but Margaret had a university degree in art! They were both born in Germany but both fled the Nazis and ended up in Rio de Janeiro, where she was an artist and he was a bathtub salesman! After their bathy-arty wedding they returned to France, which promptly fell to the Nazis, and they escaped! On bicycles!
In short, the Reys are fully worthy of prolific and even promiscuous exclamation points!
You can email me if you want.
The downside is that living expenses here are crazy expensive. Like, property values rival Hawaii's. No, I don't have any idea why. It's a tourist town. The rich folks from Phoenix come up here when it gets too hot in the summer, and the rich kids from everywhere else come up here to snowboard in the winter. Which means the amount of developed property is way disproportionate to the actual population and related infrastructure. But it's still way out of whack.
I'm actually loading music onto my shiny new (and kinda spooky looking) hard drive! Everyone should prepare for the apocalypse. Or one of them, anyway. So far, 3 whole cds. Ok, 2.5 right now. And I actually had to figure out how to name shit because 2 were burned for me.
Man, I'd have to learn to drive in a whole new city when I visited if K&l relocated. Sheesh.

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto...
I tackled the landlord in the hallway. My heat is now on. There was some sort of a draft outside that was blowing the pilot out or something, so that got fixed, and now, there is heat!
I HAVE HEAT!
Now my fingers will sufficiently work to get some more revisions done! And I have crappy apple tarts! My neighbor brought me cake mix earlier in case I wanted to keep baking and therefore stay warmer.
