I have caught up! Woot! I've ebbed and flowed, from a high of 800 posts behind. I couldn't skip. The saga of P-C. Good for you! The saga of Hil. Congrats with all the interviews and being social. Congrats to Seska. Um. There was more. But there was so many posts. Can't recall all.

VW, great to see your pixels again. Is the beeping your smoke detector? Maybe the battery gone dead? Or maybe, do you have a battery back up for your computer? Maybe the UPS battery is dying?

I picked up my suit today. And a new pair of slacks. While in CA for the soiree, it seems I have an interview down in Orange County. I think I'll be the first. Not sure what to bring with me. List of all shows? Oy that would take forever. Another copy of resume? They got it 3 ways from the website application.

I'm also debating should I buy a cheap-o laptop/netbook for the trip rather than bringing work Macbook. Either pawn shop cheap-o or something cheap from Best Buy. But also thinking about new iPod, since my old one click wheel doesn't work, thus making it useless. Can't afford both.

Also, should I set up car rental now via online? Or when I land in LA?

I always book car rentals ahead of time, it simplifies things so much when you arrive.

If you are just thinking a little Netbook, I'd pick up whatever is on sale at Best Buy.

Can't wait to see you!

what is best site for booking car? I'd love a hybrid, but doubt I could afford the rental.

I know that Hertz typically has the Prius available as a rental, I believe National also has them in their fleet.

I accidentally took a 4 and half hour nap today. The nap itself wasn't accidental, but the length was. Now I am WIDE awake.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm in Detroit, I think. Stupid flights canceled and rescheduled. More details when home and not on BlackBerry.

I believe it's offline for the night, though.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks for mentioning batteries - it made me remember to charge the cell phone. I forgot I'd had it on to receive picture files with captions such as "Shut up, Voices, or I'll poke you with a Q-tip again". Generally it remains off, conserving energy for such times as when my (previous) car's windshield wipers froze up during a thunder snow, and I needed to alert my boss that I was going nowhere fast.
