i would have probably told you i felt miserable and crappy and just run down.

the update is that i didn’t have to make a choice to move out of town, someone else made that for me. it’s fine, rejection is always not so fun, but what can you do? right?

i have another prospect and another “in person” interview in a week and a half. it’s local so that makes a few people happy. in the meantime, i am waiting to hear the final details of my temp. work for a former prof. i am excited about that. i think that will be good, interesting work. plus, i get to tell people i am a temp. just like paralegals from the 80s commercials for paralegal schools, i feel like when i temp i should wear a shirt that has a bow at the collar which matches the fabric of the rest of the shirt, you know what i mean? i tell michele that all the time.

michele and i should be roasting our asses off in the desert this weekend, but we are in the burgh. oh, coachella, you were fun, even if i felt the dirtiest i had felt in my life. we always had good times swimming at the pool at the hotel.

what else, oh, so the title of this blog entry….  so this morning, m and i went to the park to walk before she had to work, good times, then i went home sat down and got a killer headache.  i had (casual) plans with a friend tonight and i was thinking that i might have to cancel on him, and i felt like total crap.  i (finally) took a shower, got ready, wrestled with my daily dillema of what to wear (seriously, it is like TORTURE for me, what is even worse?  packing for a trip, how could i possibly know what i would want to wear in a few days, i don’t know how i will feel…. yeah).  so i decided to wear this new dress from target, i had planned to use it more as a tunic over jeans kind of scene, but realized that it is actually to my knees, so i decided to wear it just with boots.  magiclly i felt a thousand times better and felt awesome about the day and everything, my life, all of it. just because of a cheap ass dress.  i am easily pleased i’ll tell you….

oh, my last day at the dig. library was yesterday.  we made ice cream, you know like old fashioned barrel crank kind of ice cream, seriously, awesome.  it was one of my co-worker’s ideas and i really had an awesome time.  there were enough people to make it not so hard with the cranking.  so, they bought me a card too. an office full of boys actually wrote things other than just signing it, i was amazed.  i will so miss those guys.  i really dug working there- i was there for 16 months. can you believe???

i have loved j mascis for a while now, i dug dinosaur jr. in high school and still love listening, eventhough much of what i own is on tape… so, i was really interested in seeing their new video. hearing that the video was directed by matt dillon and featured thurston and coco (she’s like the total perfect mix of thurston and kim, and she’s so old, i can’t believe!!), i couldn’t even believe it.

so, check it out.

 

leaving (not) on a jet plane April 9, 2007

driving home

tomorrow i leave for oh, for my interview. nerves, somewhat. somewhat in check, mainly b/c i had a weird week last week, that involved (without giving away too many details) a lead on a position for the summer, and possibly longer.

i am very torn in my life right now, i feel like it isn’t good to even think about these things, but i do. everyone does. leave town to start over, or keep trying to make things better where i am right now. don’t know. there is hope in the air, it may have just been that glimpse of spring we saw, but i felt it. things are still bitter cold here (hmm, figuratively and literally at times…) but maybe it’s just to remind us that they still exist, don’t forget about me too soon.

anyway, it may end up that i don’t have a choice of where i end up, that i just get sent somewhere, so i don’t even like thinking about it. but what if i did….

i think some of you already know- i hate robot voices, so this is not so much for me, but maybe someone else would want one, you can order him here.

RoboBoyfriend: the ultimate girl’s gadget

By ScarlettSusi on Home Appliances

ROBOT_BOYFRIEND_1%5B1%5D.JPG
Whilst real life boys are to varying degrees unreliable, smelly and sometimes a bit stupid, the Roboboyfriend sets to remedy this and create you the perfect relationship. You can change the facial features according to your tastes, as well as the build. He’s then yours to interact with – set him to ‘Let’s Talk’ to hear all about his feelings, further confirming the fact that Gipetto – he’s not a real boy.

His internal calendar allows him to book restaurants and tickets for key events such as your birthday, and he can interact with your set-top box and make sure your favourite programmes are recorded. No word on pricing yet (we’re guessing it’ll be a fair amount) but it’s due to be available in time for Christmas from IWOOT.com.
