Happy Nabokov Day!  I actually had a very cool experience with that today.  I wore my "I <3 Nabokov" shirt (yes, I have one of those), and although a coworker asked me who that was, and I explained, no one else said anything.  Then at lunch I was walking through the underground when a guy going the opposite direction stopped in his tracks and said ( Read more... )

 Sexually charged e-mails from coworkers make my day.

That is all.

I suppose I should start out with the big news; namely, that my contract has been extended until March 31, 2009.  This doth indeed rock.  Stability, I had forgotten, is quite nice.  It's deepinnahearta downtown, close to bank, dentist, and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.  Not as easily Forks-accessible, as was the Lezzie Farm, but library-walkable ( Read more... )

What's black and white and cute all over?

 Today, reader, was a good day.  In no particular order, I:

- spread Christmas joy to the Lezzie Farm by sending a redonkulous photo of myself sitting atop a Coke cooler
- got offered a job at High School Fantasy Camp starting January 7 (said no,  but am still on the March callback list)
- made plans to hook up with Bill tomorrow night *sigh!*
