in which our quaint little heroine continues to ramble

[rkt]

i actually started this last night. and continued it today through the power of email. why? because i could.


things are going swimmingly at the old work place. it
kinda' sucks in a minor way since right now that i
could otherwise be making beaucoup bucks in my old
position from crazy amounts of overtime. but, in the
overall picture, i'm much happier this way. things
will get more intense starting next week since city
policies are changing effective monday. as of today,
they (the city) hasn't gotten around to letting us
know what the most recent policy agreements are.
i can't find a reliable link on this issue, so i'll
get one up later.

i've got a lead on potentially uber cheap apartments.
maybe i won't wait around for the projects to come
through for me. we'll see. yay for cool people!

i was in brooklyn ( Brook-lyn! ) last weekend, and found
some "spiderman candy sticks". back when i was a
child, we called these things "candy cigarettes".
now, they're "candy sticks". whatever. would a candy
cigarette by any other name taste as sweet? i say
yes. but the discovery was amusing. and i got a
glow-in-the dark temporary tattoo out of the deal.
but the tips of the sticks are no longer pink.
maybe i could get a bunch to sell at the
now-smoke-free bars.

i think the over-sociality of last weekend kinda'
burnt me out a bit and led to a dip in sociality this
week. i have a part-ee to go to tonight and
nobody with whom i can go be anti-social with and
dicuss social anxiety disorder in the corner. no buddies here who share such idiosyncracies. but i'm
enough of a rock star i'll go. and then see if i'm
up for trouble on saturday.

and, random followup, despite the fact that i mailed a
tape back to a certain someone in minneapolis, it came
back to me. i no longer have the envelope it was sent
to me in. but the address i had been given was the
address to which i sent it is the one on the envelope.
this, therefore, means i now have a copy of several
south park episodes, futurama, and an episode of fast
lane (the girl-kiss one, of course).
i consider it to be fate that the tape should be mine.

which reminds me, that show john doe (this does have
relevance since it and fast lane come on one right
after the other)- john doe is the new macguyver! i
caught on episode the other weekend. dude was
amazing. i was waiting for him to make a bomb out of
koolaid or something, but, alas, that never happened.
he did whip up a concoction though that burned through
the steel rope to which he was chained. he speaks a
gazillion languages. knows what anthrax looks like.
and how to tell if a substance isn't anthrax. (had
to add that scary modern twist. i mean, it is
fox show, afterall.
at first, i thought the show was going to be
pretender-esque. which woulda' been ok since i liked
that show before it went all freakish, but man, the
macguyver angle took me back. so, i thought i'd share
my discovery with others who enjoyed watching richard
dean anderson kick booty.

(sardonicism alert) but
speaking of scary modern twists, i think i have sars.
no, really. the media convinced me of this. i cough.
i sometimes have shortness of breath. hell, the other
night i woke up because i could not breathe! i have general body discomfort. i must
invest in some face masks. 70 people have died from
this rampant disease so far. why risk my life? does it matter that there have been no cases here as of yet? of course not. end

Yeah, I had SARS last week too. It was probably a little more unpleasant than that time I had West Nile Virus, and not quite as bad as when I had ebola. :)

no way! you had ebola too!
i'm jealous, i never suffered from west nile.
i almost had antrhax once though. but that was years ago. before everybody else jumped on the bandwagon.

re: the anthrax bandwagon: I know what you mean! It seems like just about the time you find a new deadly illness, everybody else starts getting it. It is so hard to be on the cutting edge of communicable illnesses these days; sometimes, I don't know why I bother.

agreed

i KNOW exactly what you mean.'

what's the point of going out and wasting your time getting something like typhus, when everyone else is going to go out and copy you?

foolish poseurs.
