The tie is on (modified Windsor knot, if you're wondering) which must mean I'm going to the second interview.
Hit me with your best jobma. I can take it.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
GRE tomorrow. It has been 22 years since I had to take a standarized test. I have forgotten lots of math. I just want to do well enough that I do not need to take it again

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I probably won't get time to post this tomorrow, so: come about 3:00 pm, I'll be going dark for two weeks or so as Bec and I traipse around Spain. There'll no doubt be tales to tell when I get back, most likely how many times we passed out from heat exhaustion.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Thessaly and I are off to a wedding in Syracuse in a few minutes. Doubt we'll be around until Sunday or Monday.
TTFN.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Quality stuff that jobma.
What DS said. I got the offer for the new job. V. pleased. Much cooller company, and pays better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
May I add my voice to the chorus of requests for Jobma? I've put in an application for the job at the school where I'm on placement just now. If there is ANY justice I should get it, 'cause I'm all enthusiastic and smart and kid-liking hard-working and generally a Damned Good Choice. And I live on the street next to the school. And, and, and...and there are other, better qualified applicants who also want the job, damn them. But it must and shall be mine! Maybe. Hopefully.
....jobma? please?

In an hour, the Supershuttle will be (or, damn well better be!) picking me up to take me to the airport to start my long long flights to Korea! I'll be there for a week and a half, and have no idea what kind of internet access I'll have...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In a fit of greater-than-usual klutziness, I managed to completely fry my laptop last night. So until I manage to build something that works out of duct tape and baling wire, I'll be around while at work, but even grayer than usual evenings and weekends.
