In perkier news, I've just applied for a couple of positions at the WA state board for community and technical colleges, in Olympia, WA. Any Buffistas know anything about the organization or area? It looks interesting online.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

mr. flea had a job interview in Olympia in 2000 or so, and I went along for fun, and it seemed like a really likeable small city.

So Dad called me at 12:30 AM, complaining that he'd "slept for more than 12 hours". When he got home from our Father's Day barbecue at like 8 PM.
SIGH.
In other news, I went shopping for bras yesterday, and came home with two dresses, a top, and a pair of leopard-print shoes. And two bras.

Home internet still a putz. Will attempt support tonight but probably switch to comcast in the long term.
My coughing witching hour held true- right around 10 I had a coughing fit. Always. ALWAYS. I do really wonder if something in our ventilation system kicks in then.
I just don't wanna anything.

All I know about Olympia is that the Washington State Supreme Court building is called the Temple of Justice.

Oly looked weirdly boutiquey last time we were through the downtown.
I lived there off and on from 1992-1998. It's a weird mix of college town and government town, plus you're close enough to rural WA that you go outside of the Oly/Lacey/Tumwater trio and you start hitting redneckonia pretty hard.

Sounds like where I live now, only with salt water access.

That makes my inner pagan happy.

The play versions of Wolf Hall/Bringing up the Bodies, with Ben Miles as Cromwell, have extended their London run and will be playing when I am there in September. So I booked tickets. Whee. I am a little trepidatious. That's a lot of money on a lot of theatre...I hope I actually like it!
I got myself so wound up about booking tickets/hotels I have given myself a headache. Apparently I am six.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying it but the weekend sucked. Ok, activities and such were fine but the face pain was back with a vengence. This morning, I haven't had it fully spasm, but there have been a couple of medium sized episodes.
I'm supposed to be in SLC Wednesday and Thursday for meetings that I lead. I had hoped the Lyrica would have kicked in more by now. If I have a full spasm, mid-meetings, I'll basically have to excuse myself from the room. I don't want to cancel the trip and yet I'm wondering if I should.
