sarameg, that link goes to whatever video is currently playing. Is there a link to the particular one you were watching?
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ah, they were looping the post-EVA interview with John and Drew when I caught it. I can't get the regular vids to play on my mac, so I don't know if they have it up elsewhere. But that's how John described their last bit of work.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Oh god, I emailed the now "potentially" new landlady's mother, because I can't find landlady's home phone and her voicemail isn't set up. I'm freaking out because I haven't signed the new lease or made payment and she hasn't replied to my email I sent last Wednesday.
Got a brief reply from the mother merely saying "I'm up, call me" which makes me feel like she has bad news to give that wouldn't be proper in an email. But it's only fifteen minutes since she sent it and she's not answering and now I'm in an even bigger state of panic.
Sure, if this falls through, I won't be homeless, I'll just have to renew my stay here, hopefully month by month. But I'll be here and I'll have to jump back into the agonizing process of apartment hunting. Living here with crazy downstairs lady. Living out of boxes. Here.

I lived with a black rat snake in the house for many years. It was ill-tempered but otherwise not a problem. With one on the door like that, I'd probably try to shoo it away with a stick.
One of the photos on my wall is of me holding a rattlesnake on a snake-hook when I was about 20. Frelling thing was heavy.

I'm definitely more afraid of spiders than snakes, but I give both their due respect.
I'd scream like the girl that I am and then tell a story about how cool I was and make every one else scream.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I respect snakes, but I have pretty much zero fear of them. Spiders are another matter. I'm not phobic, but they get the pulse rate going a bit.
If there were a snake on my back door I would be racing for the camera.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oooh -- I didn't check Beep Me before I started reading this morning, so I'm guessing that Sparky had a Blessed Event! Yeehaw!
Oh, and I came late to the snake discussion, but I know from Actual Experience that I'd grab a camera and start snapping away. In my case it was a teensy garter snake on the sidewalk on my Somerville street, but the principle is the same.
(Possibly, I'd check E-Bay to see if there's a thriving trade in ginormous black rat snakes, because if that there snake is money on the hoof (so to speak) I'd be tempted.)
