I keep meaning to post about this, but last weekend I went to the Aaron Allston book signing for Betrayal (which I just started reading). He was super nice and funny. Not that many people came, they all went to the earlier signing in Plano/Dallas rather than the far cooler Borders a mile from my place. So the 8 or so of us that stuck around after ( Read more... )

So my evil ploy to become a manager worked. I thought I'd shoot high and ask for manager or director and they went with director of research. So apparently it worked to come up with mental list of reasons of why it was good for our agency to actually have my position as a director and then go into other directors' offices to persuade them.

I've really been enjoying world cup soccer. But the referee at the Italy-USA game really ticked me off. The guy had apparently already missed the last World Cup due to being suspended for bad refereeing, so why have him back to screw things up again? The red card for the Italians made some sense - you can't really get away with intentionally ( Read more... )

So, Wayne Pygram (Scorpius of Farscape) was on Lost last night as the faith healer. Now all I all need is for Gina Torres to be in the final episodes of Alias this/next month. And she is! Seriously, the Espinosa versus Sydney fight scenes were always the most fun.

No cheating allowed.

This is hysterical and yet so disturbing. I'm not sure I want to be on a highway to hell with Yoda. My mp3s are mostly random, wierd stuff.

I've never really wished I could go back to high school until now. Why now you ask? Because in my junior year choir production we did every oscar award winning song in one show. I actually sang Que Sera, Sera as a solo in front of 1000+ people and sang stuff like Love is a Many Splendoured Thing, Up Where We Belong, Under the Sea, etc as a group ( Read more... )

Happy Mardi Gras everyone! I found out today I'm officially moving out of the office behind the men's room which occasionally leaks what they claim is water into my office. Good bye moldy floors, strange noises, having to walk through a crowded waiting room, etc. Hello beautiful office with a window. I will miss my extension being my lucky ( Read more... )

Testing out a new livejournal thingy called something I no longer can remember! I've decided I've stressed too much about the job stuff. It will all work out and be shiny in the end. Today I even found some extra money in the budget for me to go attend a week long statistical modeling course at UConn.... which sounds much better than taking a ( Read more... )
