Xander ,'Beneath You'
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.
Is sending "thank you" emails after phone interviews too much? Not that I can, since I don't have the email addresses of the people I spoke to. Just wondering if it was done. Maybe I should have sucked up more and asked...
No point over secondguessing that. Still wonder if it's done.
Sotomayor is officially Obama's pick for the Supreme court.
She's Latina, brilliant, and has years of experience on the Federal Appeals court. The Republicans can huff and puff but she'll go in. She's 54 years old. Huh. She's only five years older than me.

I don't think so, but remember in my world, you should thank someone seven times every time they give you anything.
My Tuesday is going OK.
My Tuesday is going ok. I need to ramp up my productivity though, or Wednesday will suck taters.
Sotomayor has been the subject of an anonymous whisper campaign ever since it became clear she was on Obama's short list.
I love the "whisper campaign" as a verbal construct, not the real actual shittiness behind it. But I love the idea of gossipy people in 1950's garb whispering behind their gloved hands to talk smack.
It's a really cool label, for an awful concept.
My Tuesday is not bad, except that Tino set off a mysterious chirping about five this morning. I think it must be my smoke alarm battery check? Anyway, it went for about an hour, chirping very loudly at irregular intervals, and then stopped. I don't know for sure that my alarms even have batteries. But I guess I'd better check.
Anyway. That got me up and functional at a reasonable hour, so I even made eggs & pancakes for breakfast this morning, which was nice because the SO is going to be in the studio all day today. So it was good to have a little time together.
Lots of work today, but since school is finally over, it's work at home, which means I'm also hoping to do a lot of housework. You will note that I still have a lot of housework, which will indicate to the perceptive that this means I did not do a lot of housework over the holiday weekend. Oops.
I feel really adrift not having (officially) the contact info for my job apps. I could work out, I guess, which number job #1 called me from, but for what? That would be awkward.
My sister sent me this calling it sweetypie. This is a girl who doesn't get the point of puppies. And she sends me that freakish thing with the implication that it's cute.
Tried enough of the Skeptics podcasts. I don't like the people. I don't think I'll be able to continue. So far I basically have a bunch of Scientific American ones. Also tried "Geeks on" but they're way too interested in computer games for me, and not obsessive enough about the stuff I like.
ita, give The Speakeasy with Dorian a try.
Which one are you?
I guess I'm the one on the left.
