'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Where the hell is Victor when you need him?
I was thinking the same thing.
and I do not have words for how negative a psychological reaction I'm having.
Christ! Are they at least helping the migraines? Because if not, I'm not seeing a whole lot of upside to putting yourself through that.
Many HR departments for video game companies put up ads for things like Sound Designers but want them to have computer science degrees and be C++ programmers and the like. While those are nice skills, they are pretty ancillary to doing sound design for video games and disqualify a large quantity of brilliant artists who should be working in the market.
Yep, you see the same thing crop up in video editing. Ironic because the flip side is that it's so cheap now to turn a laptop into an edit station that many news organizations are cutting back on hiring editors and sending their writer/producers out on FCP and Avid Xpress training courses instead.
ita, I hope your brain is treating you better today.
ita- I hope you feel better today.
Does anyone have an iron recommendations? I have a crappy broken iron at home that I have been putting off replacing because I like my work Rowenta so much, but I really don't want to spend over $100 on an iron. $30ish would be good. I really want something heavy, with adjustable steam, a spray and a surge button, and auto shut off. I want to note that I have been using this broken iron (does not steam, I need to spray water on my clothes instead) for about three years, but now my spraybottle is broken!
Sophia, look at ebay and craigslist for used ones. Also, if you have any sewing or quilting shops in town you might want to ask them if they know anyone selling a used one. I know my mom's quilt shops often know of used ones or even sell them for people. Lastly, does Rochester have a lot of estate sales? Workable small appliances are often very cheap at estate sales - it might not be a Rowenta, but for $10 or so maybe worth the risk of trying whatever is available.
Blech. I was supposed to go to a trapeze class today, but I just canceled because my stomach isn't feeling great, and not-so-great stomach doesn't seem like a good thing with trapeze.
Holy moley, that was some good Nattering last night! Awesome.
ita, I hope you are doing better today. I'm so sorry about the migraine med side effects. Ugh.
Please feel better ita.

I think that's a safe bet.
Best Presidential Dedication Ever!
From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters here to change the name of a prize-winning water treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Good ideas! Estate sales and such aren't really workable here without a car, but I can see if a friend wants to go.

Agreed. Sorry to have missed it (and sorry Victor missed it).
