Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Stephanie, I'm glad my future travels were able to entertain you during insomnia! May you be asleep now (and that goes for everyone else too.)
I went to the Newseum when it was fairly new-maybe 6 or 7 years ago. I loved it (though it resulted in me being aghast when we realized my second cousin, 15 or so at the time, considered the Cold War ANCIENT HISTORY, and I'd been in the USSR a scant month before the coup attempt the ultimately felled it by the end of that year.)
Frak! Omnis, I totallly missed you.
t bummed now
I've been really caught up and had too many appts to get away but still. Frak!
I hope you enjoyed the 'hood.
Museuming with Omnis was lots of fun. Then I came home, ate dinner, took a nap, and am now watching a documentary on Jerome Robbins.
Frak! Omnis, I totallly missed you.Well, the night is young, and the... oh hell, 1) that sounds on the verge of pervy, 2) weather sucks, and 3) I'm sore from walking past two days, and I got two more days to go. If you want to drive to Bethesda, c'mon up! Tomorrow I'm at the Newseum. Want to do lunch?
Now I'm looking at the two bus tours in DC, thinking about Friday. We got a group of folks, vast majority from out of town. We want to hit a bunch of places not near subway stops, but they ARE near all the stops of the bus rides! Eh? Cheaper than cab fare! And we can all ride in one vehicle. Brilliant? or stupid?
I've just planned four days of cooking!
Tomorrow: brochette of beef tendrloin w/ carmelized onions and horseradish sour cream.
Saturday: Lasagne
Sunday: Borlotti Bean Mole from 100 Cookbooks
Monday: slow cooker pot roast.
Ginger, comments insent
Okay. I've watched 3 episodes of LOST (well, 2 1/2), done my back exercises (ow fucking hell ass OW), eaten pizza, taken magnesium/calcium (allegedly good for sleep), and taken a whole 10-mg Ambien (I usually only take half).
I'm about to toddle off to bed, and I damned well had better sleep for at least 7 hours.
As should ALL OF YOU. Sleep tight, insomniac Bitches!
Yeah, tonight I'm going to take magnesium/calcium and probably half an Ambien, because wow, sleep would be nice.
Sleep well, my fellow insomniacs!
magnesium/calcium (allegedly good for sleep)
I swear by it...or sleep by it, as the case may be.
Sweet dreams!
OK, job hunting Bitches: is it weird to not have a reference from my current (of almost a year) job? Since I work from home, and only occasionally go out and work "with" other employees, there aren't too many people who could really give me much of a reference other than my boss. And obviously he's right out. There are a few people I suppose I ask, but I feel like it would be a little weird, and they're definitely not anyone I worked with MUCH, or who had any sort of supervisory capacity (and...honestly, not anyone that I'm thinking I had the kind of relationship where I'd get a glowing reference. We worked OK together, but...) My boss would give me a good one, but only if I'd gotten laid off or something.
I do have a good reference from my two managers two jobs ago (where I worked for four years) and from my manager at my previous job (but I was only there several months before I was laid off). If needed, I can reach farther back, but it's been a while.
How important is all that? I've never job hunted while employed before, or while so isolated from coworkers, so I've always had handy RECENT references!
