Month: September 2006

I heard a noise. It sounded all WHoo-HOO-hoo-Hoo!
A few minutes later I said to myself
“That’s an owl! Not the Chemical Brothers!”
And that’s why I’ll never be president of the zoo.

One of my favorite things about my new job is the part of the day when the cafeteria phones down and asks what I’d like for dinner. Then, a short 45 mins later, two kids arrive with trays full of requested food stuffs. Today it was vegan shepherd pie and roast veggies for me. Ah, perks.

One more night shift than one day off, then two weekend day shifts.

Tomorrow I will miss my ballet class. There are two meanings to that sentence.

I went to work today. I think it was good. I have a lot to learn. I am a little brain dead this evening, now.

I just got a job, I’m cool
It’s with Brentwood College School
It starts on Tuesday so I can still go to Victoria tomorrow with Amber and Namool.

I am well pleased with myself for I fixed the button holes on my yellow sweater. Now the buttons stay done up. Next: darn that nasty big hole in the elbow.

I just hung out with Naomi. She bought a mop and I bought chips.

And also today I made a new little book. It’s one I’ve been trying to make for many months now but never really worked trying to lay it out on Word. So I lay it out in Publisher instead and in just a few short half-hours I had my new little book. Finally in print, it’s “Costume Design (For a Play)”. Now everyone can have a copy! As soon as I make more. And finish the title page.

I had another interview.
It was with Brentwood College Schoo’.
If I don’t get it, I’ll say “hoo hoo”.
And maybe take up sniffing glue.
(I have nothing else to do.)

On my web page there is now a link to a page about my trip to San Fran last year. It’s groovy.

My web page is here.

The San Fran Stuff is here.

I had a job interview today.
It was with United Way.
If I get it, I’ll say “Hooray!”
But if not, I will play.
(But not with clay).

Library Adventures
My library book was due today. However, since I have not finished it yet, I have kept it in my possession. An element I have neglected to mention is that the book has been requested by a number of people after me so I cannot renew it.

The book is called “The Confusion” by Neal Stephenson. I like it lots, but not as much as the first time I read it. Still lots though. I should be done tomorrow, so the next person on the list won’t have to wait too much longer.

Ahh, the power.

I wonder if the VIRL system will let me request the next book in the series with a renewy book on my account…

The answer is: they haven’t noticed that I haven’t returned this book yet, so I have thus requested the next book. I am number three on the request list. (Actually there is a copy sitting in the Cowichan Library. I could have gone and picked it up today. I Am A Chump!)

Kitty just came in all spooked. I heard some yowling before. Now I pet kitty in comfort. Only there’s two kitties and I’m not sure that this is the same kitty I saw all spooked before. This could be the perpetrator of the yowling! Curses!

I finished my very first zine yesterday. The first thing I have called “zine” anyway. I usually call them “little books”. Come to think, that’s what I continue to call it in my head and out loud. So.

I have finished a little book entitled “Little String”. It took a whole day longer than expected because the printer said something like “function malf” or something. I don’t remember the exact words on the little screen. I stuck my fingers in to the top after flipping up the flippy thing and rattled the toner thing around until the printer was fixed. Then I sighed in a contented fashion and gave the printer a hug. I love this printer when it isn’t broken. When it is broken I become vexed and unruly.

It’s September now which means I am on my annual search for spiritual truth.

Of course! You knew I was going to say that!

After a few years of Aithism, and a couple as a Non-practicing AthistAthiest, this year I think I’ll try Buddhism. This is because the Dalai Lama was in Vancouver this week and I saw a report about it on the news.

I wish that didn’t sound as flakey as it does.

The last time I seriously tried to be religious I printed out everything I could from the internet about Wicca, organized it all in a big binder, and completely forgot about it. I found the binder again lately and said to myself “What. The. Hell is this?”

I don’t even know how to spell “Aithism” “Atheism”.
