Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Daisy, that was so sweet.

How do I found out who produced the video for "Love is Free" ?

I'm pretty sure the last time I saw a video on MTV, they listed the director on the screen with the artist/song/slbum stuff. If that helps at all.

PSA for anyone unfortunate enought to use IE, that link to the historically accurate Disney Princess outfits triggered one of those irritating "you have 16 gazillion viruses, worms, and trojan horses!" msgs trying to strong arm me into buying fake virus protection.

Yeah, IE just closed down for me on that one.

I came across multiple sites with advice that suggested taking off experience over 15 years old unless it was super relevant (okay, that made some sense), and also taking off education dates if college was over 10 years ago. Does that make sense too? I am applying to tech companies and I wonder about the age thing. But then if you take it off, does it seem even worse?

Wow, 10 years? I would guess it depends on the kind of job you're applying for. I'm sure they wouldn't consider me for my boss's job, because I'm not old enough, but another department just hired a guy pretty high up, but in interactive, who is ~10 years younger than me. So.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I clicked on the links and had no problems. This is a brand, spankin' new laptop so that's a relief.

I skipped the gym tonight AND ordered pizza for dinner. FAIL.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

work providing food again for a record 2nd day in a row! no more pizza, now it's 3 diff varieties of meat with a cuple kinds of sauces, a macaroni salad made with mayo, and salad. I am thankful for the salad.

Salad good.

So yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of closing. Fitting I spent it with neighbors. Monday is 2 years of the first night spent here.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

First, happy birthday Beth and Bonny!

Next, I found out my "real mom's"* son finished the Boston Marathon. 4 hours and change.

* so she's a close friend of my mom's but we are more alike than my mom. Her daughter is like mine. She also bought for me today the zombie heels and matching purse! I have an abundance of awesome moms!

Always Anti-fascist!

Schaefer was either on Homicide or The Wire...I forget which. Just remembered the scandalized harruffing.

He did a shitton for B'more. Camden Yards, Harborplace, feet in the street, lighting fires under people. But he could also be an unmitigated ass whose actions undermined him in later years and really? Aren't at all forgivable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sounds like Baltimore's own Huey Long.

Don't envy the obit writer. Of course, I could always go The Wire route and say "He was as big a pain in the ass as the rest of us." Cue the Pogues. Fade to black.
