So just_Eunice asks me today, after I finally remember to log into AIM while I'm stuck on yet another conference call while 2 other people leave me messages for status on stuff I haven't gotten to yet, "Have you just been worn out? Depressed? I know you hate taking more meds but might that help? or are you just hurting and worn out?"And my response kind of ( Read more... )

Recently I fell off the face of the earth. Columbus and all those bastards were wrong -- the earth does have an edge and you can sail right off of it. Turns out that when you fall over the side? The view is of nothing much but conference calls for 5-7 hours a day. That and cats who've gone crazy because you've come home 3 hours late so dinner time ( Read more... )

She's safe! She called me Saturday morning to tell me everything was OK, but I couldn't catch my cell phone in time to talk to her. Then I spent the rest of the weekend trying to get through -- "We're sorry. All circuits are busy." That can drive a girl nuts. I just finally got hold of her (late for work, naturally...that's my girl!) and she says ( Read more... )

One of my best friends in the world - the only really good thing to come from my time at Oberlin - lives in Houston. Her family lives in Corpus Christi. I've spent hours trying to get through to her. When I finally did this morning, I learned that after trying to leave Houston, spending 12 hours getting about 4 miles along the freeway, she's gone ( Read more... )

bandgeek made this for me. Isn't it purty?? I'm currently debating between 2 of the lovely ones she made, so I may have to flop back and forth for a while. Or you know, I'll just get a paid account so I can have them all. :)

Sacramento may win it all tonight, folks. Tune in to ESPN2 and watch some of the best basketball you'll ever see.

bandgeek also made ( Read more... )

Tomorrow my friend and I are heading to Victoria for Girl's Weekend. I go on the BC Ferries website to reserve a spot on the 1 pm ferry, so we don't have to sit for hours if we miss boarding. And it turns out that they charge a $17 dollar damn "reservation fee" *on top* of the already expensive car and driver/passenger fee. So why the hell would I ( Read more... )

I always knew it was possible...

I have no idea how many people read this journal, and really that's not the reason why a person should LJ in the first place. But today I hope many do, for 2 reasons.

bandgeek is trying to start an auction for donations. She's putting up two handmade scarves from her very lovely hands, which will go to the highest bidders. At least, I think she is. The ( Read more... )

I think I'm headed for a period of intense denial of reality. The Katrina disaster -- in all senses of that word -- has me angry, numb, horrified, maudlin, furious and detached. All at the same time. I want to weep and scream and mourn the loss of my faith in my nation (what little I had to begin with), and then I seem to sigh deep down and turn ( Read more... )
