Oh lord, meara! I'm so sorry! And I finally found my cell phone (been missing for a day) so I was just about to text you to see if you wanted to do something tonight.
Am starving.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Holy crap--the Cubs were down 4-1, and DeRosa just got a grand slam! That's their second one in as many weeks.
ETA: Followed by an RBI and then a 3-run blast by Soriano. They're now up 9-4, and it's only the bottom of the third.

I'm sorry, meara. That's so disheartening. I hope you can find something that you like and that's stable, soon. Of course, the NCistas would be thrilled to host you if you felt a need to job-hunt hereabouts.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, meara. Gah. Whatever your lizard brain is saying, you do know rationally that you're not bad luck, you're just working in a risky industry? 'Cause, no, not bad luck.
I'd wish for you to find a job with a Bay Area company, except you shouldn't have to go through the trauma of uprooting yourself and moving yet again, dammit, so I'm directing all my kick-ass-job-in-solid-company~ma vibes strictly local to you.
Damn. I'm just so sorry.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Scrappy!!!!
meara, ugh. I am so sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am learning how the "day people" (people who somehow are in Manhattan without day jobs but are not tourists) live. Today we went to MoMA and had TWO fashion celebrity sightings: Austin Scarlett (probably; but the fact that I'm not sure if the pale blond Yves St. Laurent/gay sailor is he is somewhat telling) and more excitingly for me, Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist! He is a tiny man.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh! How do you have any idea what the Sartorialist looks like?
When I was a "day person," I was a grad student. Other options: night workers like bartenders, etc., random freelance workers who might be doing work whenever. Also: independently wealthy.
