I've had a big week of trying to chase down a job and that managed to eat up all of the time I had planned to use for writing. Tuesday I was going to have a big writing day, a huge writing day, but then Monday I got called to go on a one day temporary assignment. I thought, oh, why not get paid for at least one day this week so I went. It wasn't pleasant. Not awful, but let's just say I'm not cut out to be a receptionist. No wonder secretaries have their own day. They deserve one.
Then yesterday I had an interview and instead of being productive in the morning hours I shuffled around like Ozzy Osbourne, looking confused and drinking coffee out of a huge Bugs Bunny mug. The mug is a giant head of Bugs Bunny! His ears are the handle! So much fun. I also have a Beavis coffee mug but it's my beloved pen holder so I can't just drink out of it. On the other hand, Linda recently gave me a Fonzie mug so maybe I'll use that for pens and put Beavis in his rightful coffee holding place. Except then the mug would live in the cabinet and I wouldn't get to enjoy Beavis (as Cornholio) every day. I'm sure I don't need to point out how tragic that would be.
After my interview I had the whole afternoon to write but instead I went over to LCG's house and we watched Seinfeld for three or four hours. And this evening, well, it's Thursday and you know what that means. That means I have to be at LCG's house by eight o'clock (Central Time) to watch the ESPN original series Tilt. I cannot tell you how much we love Tilt. It's terrible! I don't actually have to watch tonight, it's not a new episode. Tonight they are running the first three episodes in one giant block so those of you who missed it from the beginning can catch up. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.
So, there you have it. Instead of having writing time and TV time, I have job search time and TV time. I also have to do something trying-to-get-a-job related this morning which is making me do something really half-assed right now. I have for you a list of things that are all connected in some way and it is up to you to figure out how they are connected. Of course, if you are a thorough reader of the site (Megala and Miss Q are prime examples here) you will roll your eyes at this.
Anyway, here is a list of things that have a single common thread which I will tell you about soon. I'm hoping for Friday but you never know how late I will be up tonight, watching the three hour block of Tilt multiple times since ESPN loves showing repeats. And now, the list:
-The pierced nose.
-The plaid boots.
-The black-liquid-eyeliner-as-lipstick phase.
-The haircut.
-The gin drinking.
-The black-eyeliner-with-brown-eyeshadow phase.
-The other haircut.
-The giant sunglasses.
-The copy of Son Of Mad.
-The time I cut myself some bangs.
I know there is a ton of stuff I couldn't remember and that's okay. That mean I can write a bonus list some other day when I am pressed for time. I'm sure you have already guessed how these things are related, and Friday (I hope) I will tell you why these things are related. Even if you do figure out the why for each item on the list, it would be awfully nice if you could feign surprise when I tell you the whole story. I thank you in advance.
