  • Ambitious I've taken on a new personal project. I'm working on creating a database of all my Xanga entries. Considering how frequently I post, this is quite an undertaking. I started in the beginning, 10 February 200…

  • And Now For Round Two... Okay. So, I have my next interview with this company tomorrow. That's good. As far as I can tell, it's a four-part process. Today was basically an introduction to the job and a basic skills …

  • Protected Stretching, or, Same Time, Same Place? I went to the gym earlier. Despite the fact that I hadn't been in about two weeks, I had one of my best runs on the treadmill, and weightlifting also went well. But…

  • Monday Mornin' This morning, I had coffee with my pharmacist. I know. I could call him Paul. He's my friend more than he's my pharmacist. But, I think it's more fun to say "I had coffee (drinks/dinner/wild monkey se…

  • My Own Space Well. That's done. Sister and Brother-in-law are on the road back to Florida now. I'm kinda glad they're gone. Don't get me wrong - I love my sister and I love her husband. And I enjoyed their visit im…

  • Changing Oh, so Xanga has given us some more changes for Thanksgiving it seems. Now we can choose to have a person's profile pic show up next to their comment. That's fine. A glitch in the system, however. When I cl…

  • Not So Silent Okay, so I thought that with Sister and Brother-in-law in town, I'd be less of a presence on Xanga. Not that I'm all that much of a presence to begin with, but still... So, things keep happening, and I k…

  • It's Either Daylight or an Oncoming Train. Had my phone interview with Unemployment today. Will find out next week if I'm eligible. I've decided not to count on getting it. That way, if I'm declined, I won't be disap…

  • I Just Want to Slap Me and Shake Me. So, we got on the topic of STD's tonight. Not completely sure how. At one point I said, "Yeah, syphillis is the new herpes." *blink* No idea how I managed to coin that phrase. …

  • An Interesting Story? After taking her shower, and while Brother-in-law was taking his shower, Sister said to me: "Okay. There's a question I have to ask you. But if you don't want to answer it for any reason, just s…

  • The Ties That Bind Sister and Brother-in-Law have arrived. I'll probably be pretty quiet until they leave next weekend.

  • Le Sigh Back from le date. We went to le dinner and to le movie. Le dinner was okay. I love that restaurant (Grand Lux Cafe), but I wasn't big on le entree that I ordered. Le pumpkin cheesecake made up for it though…

  • Brave Little Grasshopper I have a date in about an hour and a half. This is actually our second date, but for some reason, I'm nervous. I don't think it's anything much to do with him. I think I'm just a little more …

  • This Must Stop Ugh. I feel like burning a CD of torch songs and listening to it incessantly. Actually, given my CD collection, I could probably burn three or four such CDs. I'm tired of the Bad Days. Some days are f…

  • I Haven't Been Sleeping, So I Can't Think of a Title For This Post I've been up since noon yesterday, and find myself utterly unable to sleep. I thought of going to the gym, but I think my body might be too tired to wor…

  • And Yet It's Not Emmylou So, this CD which inspired yesterday's whine is turning out to be pretty addictive. Like the Emmylou Harris albums, where I listen over and over and over until I can't think straight for the me…

  • A Boy Like That Hello. In this post, I will be whining. So, if you don't want to read it, I suggest you stop now. I was listening to a CD that I hadn't listened to in at least a couple years. One of the songs made m…

  • GHETTO!!! I just had a pop-up ad for a diamond-studded cell phone. TACKY! And I bet we can all think of at least one person in our lives who is tasteless enough to buy something like that. I had hoped that the age of…

  • Hatred I hate PETA so very, very much. http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/16/fish.empathy.ap/index.html What gets me is that these people are actually serious, and some people actually take them seriously. The continued e…

  • Huntin' Finally getting serious about the job hunting thing. Took a look at Monster.com to see what's out there. Some opportunites look really nice. Better than opportunities that received my résumé over the weekend,…

  • Cute. If I sit at the computer, my eyelids get really heavy and I feel certain I'm about to fall asleep. If I lie in bed, I'm wide awake. I'd really appreciate it if Fate would stop playing these little games with me …

  • WTF? I don't know what's going on. I just got propositioned by an Asian guy who speaks German.

  • Wherewithal With Words I feel the need to clarify something said previously. I was bitching about people who use words that aren't actually words. I don't mind people who invent words. That's usually clever, fun, a…

  • I Don't Get It I had sex again last night. Twice. And I also had a non-sex date with someone on Friday night. It doesn't make much sense to me. I have three theories: 1) Unemployment makes me more attractive. Whi…

  • Asian Shopping I woke up this morning (after going to sleep for about three hours) because the library was having a used book sale. Now, before anyone tries to admonish me for buying books, let me just say this: Paper…

  • Another Advantage Another previously unconsidered advantage to having lost my job: I will never again have to listen to a particular co-worker use words that don't exist. She was notorious for her use of the words "su…

  • Sleep! What a notion! I can't sleep. My body is sufficiently tired, but my mind is fully engaged. It's occurred to me that if I become a financial advisor, I'm going to have to buy something. A blue blazer. It may …

  • A Day of Hope. A few months ago, I realized what would probably be a dream job for me. Based on my outstanding quality service skills, ability to build business relationships, and devotion to the consultative sales tec…

  • Clinging to Adolescence? First of all, do not make the mistake of assuming that because I'm posting again, I'm feeling better or back to normal or any of that nonsense. I'm not. In any way, shape, or form. I still ha…

  • The voices of the demons. The irreversible downward spiral. Maybe the Age of Uvon has truly come to an end.

  • I'm just going to be quiet for a while.

  • Okay God, What's Next? Well, in the Life is Full of New Experiences Department, I've just been fired. I really prefer not to discuss the details. No sense dwelling on it. I shall spend the next four days planning, pr…

  • Why?

  • The Vote Has Been Rocked I didn't even have to wait in line. And you can bet your sweet bippy I checked and double-checked my ballot. I also paid attention to the part where you vote for judges. There's an extremely …

  • Caffeine-Free Today I managed to go the entire day without coffee. Not an easy task, but I realized that I spent entirely too much money on coffee last month, and since I do need to watch my spending, the almost-daily …
