team Coco
Oh, NBC. I love you. Why do you keep pushing me away?
No, seriously. I've realized, finally, that finding a temporary or disposable job is no longer an option. I can no longer simply apply to every local job I find on careerbuilder or monster or craigslist, like I've been doing. I thought that the wider ranger of positions would widen my ( Read more... ) -
One day
Eventually, my insanely overactive imagination is going to have to pay off. -
cat in sun
I don't ordinarily write poetry -- but I scrawled this in my moleskine cahier notebook sometime in early 2008.

So I wrote this in about 15 minutes ( Read more... ) -
