So, as you know, I was laid off, but am working until the end of the month.
I have an interview tomorrow morning. 9AM (6AM board time). Please send vibes, y'all! Vibes that (a) they want to hire me (b) they want to pay me good and (c) they dont' need me to start until, oh, say, January.
Somervillians, I'm once again pimping my singer-songwriter friend Naomi Sommers at you. She's really amazingly good! Go see her -- she's got two shows tomorrow:
Wednesday, November 5
8pm
Abbey Lounge
1 Beacon St, Somerville, MA (Inman Square)
11pm
All Asia Cafe
334 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA (Central Square)
Sigh. The interview-ma was apparently either misdirected, or trying to tell me it was not a good job, because the interview was blechhhhhh. And they thought so too.
So, -ma for something else, better, please! :)
Bay Area Buffistas---
I'm making arrangements for what I'll be doing in San Francisco next week (Tues-Wed). If you'd like to get together, I'll be discussing things in the Peoplesforum F2F thread.
Hugs and -ma to all and sundry!
Just dropping in to let y'all know that my story "The Ichthyomancer Writes His Friend With an Account of the Yeti's Birthday Party" is in the newest issue of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, along with a host of other great stuff. If you'd like to own a copy of your very own, check your local zine- or genre-friendly bookstore, or order it from the site; they take PayPal.
Got off the phone with my mother a short while ago.
My grandmother died last night at about 1 in the morning. She was 87.
I would like to request the patented Buffista jobma at 2:00 Eastern time today. I've got an interview for a job that sounds really challenging and interesting. And I'm really ready to go back to work now.
I'm going dark until Sunday because I'm going to SF! Whee!!
After tonight, I'll be mostly dark as I head West. Will be checking my e-mail, and will be calling my secret ninja contacts in the LAista scene when I'm over there.

Turns out I am NOT working tomorrow, anybody up to the baths tomorrow morning? Call my service 212 560-7306 if you can go out and play.
(maybe this isn't an abuse if the rest of you just hold in your hearts the knowledge that we will be sweaty, naked, and covered in mud)
