Proof that Becki & I have the best/strangest conversations via text message:

Jen: Mmm, the cafe next door has excellent chicken tenders. So crunchy.
Becki: I am jealous of your crunchy chicken tenders.
Becki: I am jealous of your crunchy chicken tenders.
Jen: So jealous you sent that message twice. Haha.
Becki: That was my phone being retarded.
Jen: ( Read more... )

...the fog has descended and Evanston looks like Silent Hill.

Wish I had a machete for the walk home.

Oy. What a completely frustrating and miserable day. I was getting slammed from all sides: GRG team in Carmel, Design/Prod in San Antonio, fact-checking reports, page releases... Gah. My blood pressure is spiking just thinking about it ( Read more... )

With the exception of Monday night - which was quite possibly the most horrible night of my life - I had a FABULOUS weekend. Many thanks to Sara and Becki, who helped make it memorable!

That said, it feels very strange to be back at work.

I misplaced my keys and spent a harried 5 minutes looking for them this morning. I am a creature of habit - I always hang my keys on the doorknob so they're right there in the morning and I can just grab them on my way out.

Tori's added a second Chicago date to the American Doll Posse tour!!! I saw the listing this morning in the RedEye and figured it was a misprint - thought they'd mixed up her show date with someone else's - but I just got an e-mail from her official Web site, confirming that she'll be at the Vic Theatre on Tuesday, November 6th!!! Ticket presale ( Read more... )

I just found out that Megan, someone I worked with in Language Arts at McDougal, died last night. She'd collapsed while going up the stairs to her apartment last week - a blood clot in her lung - and flat-lined in the ambulance. Doctors managed to revive her at the hospital, but Megan had been in a coma ever since. Well, her family took her off the ( Read more... )

Tori finally announced the dates for the North American leg of the ADP World Tour!!!

In the twenty minutes since I read my email, Becks and I have already started coordinating our schedules. (Of course, since I can just take vacation any time I want to, it's really Becki's schedule that will dictate how much we can do.) But, no matter what, we're ( Read more... )

I've finished reading the last book in the Harry Potter series, having cried about eight times. There are no words for what I feel right now.

Thank you, J.K. Rowling; thank you, Harry - it's been an amazing journey.
