Chicago-istas! I will be in your fine city for a conference from June 18 to June 24 and would like to get together for, you know, stuff. My co-worker and I are looking to do various things like eat at Moto and see Second City and TMLMTBGB, so I wanted to start figuring out scheduling availability.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Heh. Ok, enough shameless self-promo. Thanks!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh ye Buffistas of considerable organizational skill, and perhaps in need of some cash!
I'm trying to find a job in New Orleans. I'm finding it (unsurprisingly) difficult to stay focused on doing what I need to to find a job. I need to update and revamp my resume again, and start networking like a fiend. Right now all I'm doing is checking Craigslist for job postings. My landlady is asking for another year-long lease, starting June 1st, which adds to the urgency. I don't have the financial cushion in place that would allow me to move down there without a job.
I really need someone to stay on my case and keep me focused on this goal. I'd really like to be down in New Orleans by year's end, but sooner works, too! I was thinking of email check-ins, and possibly weekly phone calls or chat sessions.
No idea, really, what one would charge for such a thing. I'm not rolling in cash, but I know my weaknesses and staying focused is a big one. Make an offer!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Firefly watch & post tonight at 5:30pm Board Time (PDT)/8:30pm EDT.
If I'm not muchly mistaken, we'll be watching "Heart of Gold".

Anyone interested in scraps of fabric leftover from my "prom/bridesmaids dresses into napkins and placemats" conversion? I'm happy to send it along and see my childhood live on in your next project.
The tailor used what she could but there's still small pieces that could totally be used for quilting or other projects by people far craftier than me. There's royal blue and raspberry cotton from two Laura Ashley dresses, as well as white cotton with small orange butterfly outlines and blue and white striped fabric from two sundresses my Mom made for me eons ago.
Profile addy is good.

I mentioned this in Natter yesterday, but I'm bring it here: any Buffistas interested in a poster exchange? I have a tube full of posters that can be added to and taken from, much like the box o'yarn that is going around currently, and the famous Buffista nailpolish exchange. I'm sending two of the posters to Kathy A., but there are still plenty in there that may be of interest to you, your friends, children, loved ones, whomever...and you can purge posters that you've collected over the years!
If interested, email me at my profile addy, and I will try to channel my msbelle-style organizing skills and set something up. Thanks!

Someone from my neighborhood makes clothing that I believe many of you may be interested in checking out. I've linked to her Dr. Who stuff before and, now, Firefly dress
(And there's a shirt available for the gentlemen.)
