Ugh. I keep getting emails about middle school positions at Very Nice Schools, and I know that a) I shouldn't limit my options and b) the problem this year was not really middle school but THIS middle school and c) what's it hurt to apply and see? but there's still a large part of me that's all "get thee behind me!"

One of my friends in college was from North Dakota, and I remember several conversations where she refused to believe that bagels were a Jewish food.

Depending on where in North Dakota she was from, it is likely that the kind of Bagels she grew up with were not. A lot of things sold as bagels are essentially rolls with a hole.

I'm sorry. Job hunting does suck. (It is late, and I am tipsy--I kept trying ot type that as BAGEL hunting does suck. Which it may. But is not whawt i meant)

Our big show is tmororrwo. So we had a "meet and greet" tonight. SO MANY hot people. WHo I cannot sleep with. Because i have a girlfriend. Who was not there. BUt HALF LITERALLY H ALF the women I've ever slept with WERE there. At one point, I introtudced them all. Though I did not mention the connection. Ay. One of them, I wish I could sleep with again. But she has a girflriend who was there. And I have a girlfriend who was not there. But gaaaaaah. I should be over her. And I'm apparently NOT.

But, lots of hotties. ANd I looked good. I like my new shirt I bought. And so many awesome people!

Tomorrow, show. Have to be up early. But can't sleep, monsters will eat my head! Or, possibly, just my head will not SHUT UP with thinking of things....

meara, you are just too damned cute when you're tipsy. The show will go off just fine, and the rest of the stuff that's floating around will take care of itself in due course.

Emily, what would it hurt to apply for those middle-school jobs? At the least you may get some interviewing practice. You can always turn the job down if it's offered to you.

Suffice it to say, job hunting suck and blows.

Meara is definitely one of the cutest drunk people out there.

Right, exactly. Except for the extreme mental anguish! Interviewing, blech. Not to mention, these places will probably all want sample lessons, which will be like interviewing except with a room full of children! Oh, my head...

But don't the high schools want sample lessons as well? Your current school could be something out of The Twilight Zone, with students from Bizarro World.

(I am playing devil's advocate here. I know you'll end up doing what's best for you.)

Bayou Bagelry closed, sadly. At least, last fall they were closed and had a notice up saying they had decided not to reopen.

My sympathies on job hunting and somewhat irrational Middle School aversion. None of that is fun.

This is neither work safe, nor safe to show in front of your children.

Very cheerful, porny Safe Sax animation from France. It's very charming, but very explicit.

Am home from a lovely baseball game. Have little to no voice. Am fine with that.

I did get to peek down juliana's shirt. Shush - the back of her shirt. Preeeety tattoo.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, baseball.
