I'm x-posting this with music, because of our earlier discussion of Crystals and Angels from other planets....
I'm digging this trippy 1977 video of The Carpenters, with a full orchestra, covering Klaatu's amazing "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft." From the Official Klaatu Homepage:
The idea for this track was suggested by an actual event that is described in The Flying Saucer Reader, a book by Jay David published in 1967. In March 1953 an organization known as the "International Flying Saucer Bureau" sent a bulletin to all its members urging them to participate in an experiment termed "World Contact Day" whereby, at a predetermined date and time, they would attempt to collectively send out a telepathic message to visitors from outer space. The message began with the words..."Calling occupants of interplanetary craft!"

The video starts out with this cheesy, corny bit of comedy (I think) of aliens calling a radio station's request line.
Is this the most awesome video ever, or what?
You and my DH. Freaks.
Hee. Ask him if he likes Phil or Sig better.
And now that I'm tucked in my hotel room I am embarassed by my pity-party earlier. Gah - too much stress. I should just step away from the puter.
This job stuff - looking for change and "selling" myself - is so far outside my comfort zone.

you rock. Just remember that. If you start feeling like you don't, just remember "Vortex says I rock, and if I stop believing that, she'll get mad"
You can do it, Suzi. You're bright and hard working and they'd be lucky to get you as an employee. Also, pity parties are totally allowed in Bitches, so I wouldn't worry about it a bit.
I hate that "selling myself" stuff, too, Suzi. If it was up to me, the world would just see how awesome we are. But you are awesome, we know it your current bosses know it, these guys will see it.
In totally shallow news, I have a snood attached to a polka-dot bow. I like it. I may very well be able to build an outfit around it out of clothes I already have. Yay.
Suzi , good luck.
Hil, I was going to say - talk to the doctor, because what you made need to do is use the inhaler regularly to help your lungs heal.
Sean,my best to you and S.

I finally just finished the paper that was due at 1 am yesterday. I'm trying not to beat myself up about it too much since that professor seemed understanding that stuff happens.
