Greyish at present, likely to shade to charcoal/black soon. All being well, should leave country in a week's time and not sure of internet access -- however, new employers still haven't sent me any damn info to speak of, and I've still not received the air ticket they promised. It may all go tits up. Life-ma greatly appreciated.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Didn't your mom sell you to that carnival?
I was just interviewed by a writer for the Durham Herald-Sun about the play I'm in. This may turn out to be the most ink I've received yet.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Going grayer than usual for the time being, thanks to work changes and associated despair.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am 30 today! (August 20th - it being half past midnight where I'm at, and so I'm already in tomorrow as far as Board Time is concerned.)
Go me with the not being dead yet!

WRT yesterday's interview, the bad news is, they went with another candidate. The good news is, although I was second choice, I appear to have interviewed very well, as it seems they had nothing but good things to say about me.
More positions are opening up in the wonderful world of Random Contract Employment, and I still have high hopes for the position I interviewed for on Monday.
Strangely, I'm okay with all this.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
So, UPS just showed up at my door and handed me a box from Penzey's Spices.
So, my jaw dropped.
So, I opened it and read the card, thought about getting naked and rolling around in the various spices and bay leaves and cinnamon sticks and whole nutmeg (and that's just the packing materials). I remembered I had guests, and thought it might make a lot more sense to say
THANKS, Perkins, NoiseDesign and Sean!
And also want to say that I'm going to bake things with the spices and cocoas and everything else enclosed, and send the baked goods to Buffistas.
You completely rock.

For those who are following the saga of Am-Chau versus the Exam Board:
Double Science: AA
Obviously, that's good. I'll explain exactly how good in my LJ, in case you're interested.
Thanks for all the good-luck vibes and help you guys have given me. Even when you didn't know it (you talked science. I lurked. I remembered. In my exam, I remembered, and I was more relaxed), the community here has helped me do this.

Art Crawl!!!
She and Ross are in #s 4, 5, 6, 13, 14 and 15.
She says: You can tell them we were on the Kennebec river, this was my third rafting trip, and the most intense rapids were called Magic, and they were a class five that day. Magic is the one where our boat is under water. But that's not where I fell out!
